I'm throwing down the gauntlet.

I'll publicly shave my head, glue pubes to my bald scalp, and give a recorded talk apologizing and publicly endorsing Crown Sterling's TimeAI if they demonstrate decrypting RSA encryption in the next 14 days. 1/

The demonstration must be administered by a third party of my choosing, who will generate RSA keys at 2019's industry standard lengths for sensitive data protection (2048). Data will be encrypted and Crown Sterling will have the public key (as would be the norm in the wild). 2/

Once provided with they public key and the encrypted data, they will have 24 hours to quasi-prime the heck out of it (or whatever they do) and return the decrypted data. I'm open to negotiation for longer than 24 hours, pending contact from Crown Sterling. 3/

This shouldn't be hard. Remember, they told @thepacketrat they've already done it, in front of an audience no less. Supposedly at Ponemon (?!?!). Certainly they can handle doing it again (or at least spell out the parameters of the "demonstration"). 4/

My grandfather taught me the sure way to out an alleged fraud was to challenge them to reproduce findings in a controlled environment. If they accept and succeed, everyone is better off. If they accept and fail or simply fail to accept, you make your own judgement. /5

I'm sure Crown Sterling is busy. I don't want them to say they can't afford this. So I'll pony up $25k of my own money if they succeed under the test parameters to compensate for their time.

Crown Sterling, the ball is in your court (and the clock is ticking). /FIN
