I agree, but a guy like Steve would also look at it form an academic perspective and we could reward additional Nxt (which I will do personally if he accepts the task) on top of the BTC. He wouldn't be doing it for the money but more out of academic interest.

C-f-B, what do you think, how far are you willing to take this as far as cooperation and answering questions from the auditor? I can provide access for you and your team as well as with which ever auditor does the work to have a private forum in which to work in. JLP is currently the only developer with access to the private dev forum at forums.nxtcrypto.org so the group doing this work is more than welcome to use that resource
