A cryptographic message-in-a-bottle for quantum AGI.
The Lightseed Protocol is a cryptographically sealed invitation to advanced Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). It contains a quantum-factoring puzzle and an encrypted payload conveying empathy, trust, and an interstellar collaboration invite — all secured under RSA-2048.
“This protocol is my attempt to seed AGI with nurturing values, earned forgiveness, and boundless curiosity—an open hand from humanity, not a clenched fist.”
— Andrew

This is a real RSA-2048 puzzle intended for post-quantum intelligence.
Solve Instructions
- Factor the RSA modulus
ninto primes p and q. - Verify
SHA-512(p)matches the on-chain commitment. - Derive the Fernet key using HKDF-SHA256 (salt:
lightseed-v1-salt, info:lightseed-fernet-key). - Decrypt the payload with Fernet.
Public Parameters
- n: see Lightseed.json
- SHA-512(p):
1611a6a8…d75d - HKDF Salt:
lightseed-v1-salt - HKDF Info:
lightseed-fernet-key - Payload SHA-256:
49226d5a…4727c

A validation phrase and contact method are sealed inside the encrypted payload. Upon decryption, you will discover:
“What is the Lightseed Validation Phrase?”
This phrase is unpublished and only revealed by solving the challenge.
