I am planning on launching a new affiliate program and sites and i am using a completely custom wrote script which i will be writing myself.

I also want to put out any fires before they start so that i have proof that the code is shave free and no one can say jack shit and everyone knows i am honest!

What i am thinking is this. I will fly in a well respected GFY member who is an expert programmer and DBA. I will let them audit the code (with me watching every move they do) and once they say that it looks good and is shave free i will compile the php code, generate a HASH/SHA256 hash and post it for every file linked to my affiliate program.

The hash codes will be made public by me for all these files. The person i fly in will also make the hash codes they got while they were here public so that everyone can see absolutely nothing has changed since the code was audited.

Any changes to the code and/or recompiles will change the hash code and affiliates will know that the hash has been changed and the code has been updated/altered.

Obviously this will not work during beta testing as any bugs need to be worked out and would only be done when it is launched. Another/same person would be flown in to validate any changes to anyting once the site has gone public so that you can be assured it is all legit.

I was also thinking of them writing a tech doc on it all so that all affliates know how shit works, exactly how hits are tracked, etc etc.

What do you guys think?
