PrivacyTripwire proposes embedding a real bitcoin key as a decoy; spending its funds would create the public transaction the service watches for.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-09 issue.

For: Teams planting decoy secrets in source systems
Worth noticing: The preview uses testnet bitcoin, and its theft simulation replays locally rather than demonstrating a live tripwire.

Field notes

The proposed tripwire is a bitcoin key embedded as a decoy in places such as an email footer, QR placard, or honeypot host. The page describes spending the funds as the alert mechanism, since moving them would create a public transaction; its preview uses testnet bitcoin, and the theft simulation replays locally. Pricing separates a $49.99 base fee and hardware from bitcoin value the customer parks in their own key.
