Topic: Can standalone program securely store its own bitcoin? (Read 962 times)
Bitcoins are calculated based on blockchain transaction data. Your wallet stores addresses, nothing more. The blockchain stores only transaction data.
Are you talking about person A creating a program and putting their own BTC on it, then giving the program to person B who does not own the BTC for the program to only spend the funds under certain circumstances?
If this is what you are asking about then I would say almost certainly no. It would be too easy to make a copy of the program and attempt to reverse engineer it on a computer that is not connected to the internet, or on a computer that appears to be connected to the internet/bitcoin network but really is not.

I've been thinking about autonomous applications recently and I'm wondering is it possible for a standalone application to be able to store a private address and send from it without exposing it in any way?
