Totenpass Inc., a 60% owned subsidiary of Goldmoney Inc. (TSX:XAU),
is pleased to announce its proprietary gold storage drive
technology has been selected by Galactic Legacy Labs (“GLL”) as the
backbone for its space commercialization ventures.
GLL is a space focused technology company founded by Lori
Taylor, Nova Spivack, and Chris Habachy. GLL will be sending an
indestructible time capsule to the Moon with the data of 1 million
“earth ambassadors” on the robotic Nova-C lander, built by
Intuitive Machines. The moon lander will launch atop SpaceX’s
Falcon 9 in the first quarter of 2022.
The Totenpass is a permanent digital storage drive made of solid
gold. Led by Bruce Ha, formerly the head of optical media research
at Kodak, Totenpass has been developing a novel approach to digital
data storage by embracing recent developments in light optics and
the unique properties of the element gold.
After three years of research and development, Totenpass is
preparing to launch this disruptive technology in beta in July
2021. While the main activity of Totenpass will be consumer facing,
an Enterprise division was established in Q1 2021 to address the
backup and archival storage needs of private corporations and
governmental organizations. The material science advancements
achieved by the Totenpass team not only make this technology the
best way to store digital information physically, once and forever,
but also make this technology the perfect medium for sending
information to space. This is because gold’s elemental properties
resist both radiation and the harsh conditions inherent to space
exploration.
GLL has an ambitious plan to commercialize several space related
ventures over the coming years. The first venture will allow
everyday people to send their digital information to the moon. GLL
has established an exclusive relationship with Intuitive Machines
and has reserved Payload capacity on the SpaceX Falcon 9 launch
slated to depart in the first quarter of 2022.
As part of the agreement between Totenpass and GLL, Totenpass
will earn an 18% stake in GLL and be paid an annual license fee of
$125,000 USD in the first year, rising to $500,000 USD in the third
year. In addition, Goldmoney Inc. will be making a C$750,000
investment in exchange for a 2.5% stake in GLL.
“We are pleased to see that Totenpass has already found its
first enterprise application in the nascent space industry. We did
not originally conceive of this use case for Totenpass but
recognize the technological superiority of our invention for this
specific application. This agreement provides an initial validation
of our business concept while also being an indication of the
long-term economic potential inherent to this business. We believe
that in the coming years, private citizens, corporations, and
governmental organisations will increasingly require a method to
backup and store their precious digital information once and
forever. Our technology offers the most effective means to preserve
precious bits offline providing true ownership of one’s data and
reducing one’s dependence on the internet and external energy
sources. We are excited to be launching Totenpass in beta to
consumers in the coming months and will be updating shareholders on
further commercial developments as they materialize.” Said Roy
Sebag, Co-Founder of Totenpass Inc. and CEO of Goldmoney Inc.
“I am excited for our partnership with GLL which extends the
reach and impact of our technology to the new frontier of space
exploration. This project achieves two of my visions, to expand
humanity's knowledge to the stars and to create a time machine for
generations long into the future. This is because Totenpass is
the only storage medium known to withstand both space and time.”
said Bruce Ha, Co-Founder of Totenpass Inc.
“We are proud to announce our partnership with Totenpass Inc.,
one of the world’s leading storage companies with proprietary IP
and technology.” Chris further comments, “We believe our exclusive
partnership with Totenpass will support the storage, delivery, and
preservation of GLL’s data into space for millions, if not billions
of years,” said Chris Habachy, Co-CEO of GLL.
