What guarantees me that I’m getting an exploit and not an empty text file?

Trust. I know a blockchain is a zero trust network and all that, but if it is a trustworthy group that can prove ownership of an address/the exploit, then I'd think it could work.

I'm a blockchain hater as well, but I'm interested. What is a better platform for something like this, assuming that you trust the actor who owns the address?

This seems to imply I'm one. I'm not.

However, in this specific instance it doesn't make sense. See my comment above. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30775834)

Reputation, I suppose. It's a bit like how IRA bomb warnings used to work.
