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?

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