is developing tools that will empower you to create programs that cannot be hacked, reverse engineered, or redirected. This software allows for the creation of programs that can process sensitive data without revealing their contents to hackers.
The Prototype
SigningAppV1.exe performs a task that is generally thought to be impossible.
It’s an application that allows users to sign messages with an embedded Bitcoin private key, while keeping the key private and the funds associated with the key secure.
Future Use Cases
Free range crypto currency wallets
In order to spend money and do work outside of a secure network, software agents have to either carry unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs) or interact with networks where wallets with UTXOs reside. Either way, such agents are vulnerable to hackers who seek to take the funds. Only highly hack resistant software can stand up to this threat.
Managing sensitive data
Today, management of sensitive data involves entering passwords, often on insecure computers. In the future, people will interact with a Monolithic software agent in a pristine environment. People will describe the set of actions that they want to be carried out using their sensitive data. Then the Monolithic software agent will go out into the world, with embedded instructions and relevant data, and the agent will perform those actions on behalf of the person.
This workflow will empower:
- Custodians to manage crypto currency private keys with less risk.
- People to manage their own sensitive data without relying third party custodians.
- Corporations to greatly improve their operational security.

Take our challenge.
Install SigningAppV1. Use it to sign messages, and try to crack the private key inside.
SigningAppV1 embeds a Bitcoin private key and uses it to sign messages.
Details
SigningAppV1.exe is a Windows application which signs any message using an embedded Bitcoin private key.
Here’s an electrum wallet containing the same private key (with .01 BTC) which will remain at this address for the duration of the challenge.
