A major AI agent project just launched its most ambitious security challenge yet. They're putting $15,000 on the table for anyone who can crack a morse signal encryption and extract the private wallet key securing all project funds. That's not all—another $5,000 bounty goes to whoever can explain the exact method in a direct message.

It's a bold move. The project is essentially putting its cryptographic foundation on the line, which signals serious confidence in their security architecture. This kind of transparent bug bounty model is becoming more common in the Web3 space, where projects test their defenses against real attackers rather than hoping for the best.

Wait, Morse code encryption? This guy really dares to do it, directly exposing his entire assets. ngl, this kind of move is either full of confidence or just looking for trouble, there's no middle ground. Raising a reward of 20,000 yuan just to protect all the funds? I feel like this situation might turn around. This kind of tactic is indeed common in Web3; anyway, if something goes wrong, they can always shift the blame to "security researchers."

20,000 yuan bounty for cracking the private key—are you insulting hackers or just really confident in yourself?

15,000 dollars directly thrown in, this guy is really daring... If I were to say, this is just betting on your code not having bugs. --- Morse code encryption? Sounds pretty impressive, but anyone with a bit of skill would probably want to try it out. --- But speaking of which, real experts probably wouldn't be interested in this bounty. We miners should just keep mining honestly haha. --- Daring to use private key-related stuff as contest questions, this project is either very confident or just too young. --- Wait, sending a DM directly to share the method? Isn't this process a bit problematic? --- The total bounty of 20,000 dollars sounds pretty tempting, but I'm afraid no one can crack it in the end... That would be really awkward. --- I like this kind of transparent bug bounty, much more reliable than those shady projects.

15,000 dollars spent just to find bugs? Bro, you're really confident, or maybe a bit too cocky. Using the old-fashioned Morse code encryption method... I really want to know if anyone can actually crack it. Web3 projects are getting more and more skilled. Instead of being attacked by hackers, it's better to take the initiative. Anyway, there's plenty of money. This transparent bug bounty model is called an open mindset in a nice way, but in a harsh way, it's like betting that the project really has no vulnerabilities. It feels a bit ironic. They openly claim confidence in security, but still spend 20,000 yuan to verify it.

Directly taking out the private key as bait—how confident does that make you, or how desperate? Wait, this logic seems reversed. Morse code encryption + wallet private key... sounds like playing "Schrödinger's Bull Market," both safe and unsafe. Alright, I bet five dollars that someone will crack it within three days, and then the project team will say, "This doesn't count as a vulnerability; it's our social experiment."

Wow, a 20,000 reward to crack the key? That takes a lot of confidence.

Haha, this suspense is quite intense. Morse code encryption? Really daring to play around. --- Daring to put the fund keys out in the open, either super confident or a bit brainless. --- $15k to crack the key? I just want to see if anyone can really pull it off. --- This transparent bug bounty approach is definitely more reliable than sneaky methods, but the tactics are a bit flashy. --- I bet five bucks that hackers are already thinking about how to exploit this. --- Using something as old as Morse code in crypto security, that's quite something. --- It looks very sincere, but I always feel something's a bit off.

Speaking of this Morse code encryption, is it really reliable? It feels like an invitation to hackers.

Wow, a 20,000 reward to crack the code. This guy really isn't afraid of death.
