Life-or-death contract - write out 2048-bit DSA private key from memory; no, you cannot import a key file instead



The moment you write out the private key it's no longer secure. Anyone who sees it (and has a good enough memory) could copy the key to another contract.

You'd need to perform the DSA algorithm in your head on the content of the contract, using your memorized private key, and write out the resulting signature block.
