Serious question: Why are there even "hidden test cases" that need to be unlocked by spending "Hackos?"
In "real world" programming, if a test case fails, it shows you why it failed so that you can understand the problem.
Is this merely a case of gamification run amok? Would you tolerate a unit testing suite that held back your failing test results for a small amount ransom paid in Bitcoin?
