Hi all. I visit this site often, and today came across this puzzle and the amazing work everyone has accomplished. I have an idea that came to mind that I decided to share, in case it somehow can help. If this has already been discussed, I missed it. And I did try to read the entire thread.

When I first studied the image I noticed the 'illegal' O and I. As I followed through the discussion I saw where the public address ends at the O. At that point I began to believe that the I is somehow related to the private key, possibly where it ends.

Then I got the the Morse Code solution. I believe that the OP has confirmed the message is:

THEY CAN NOT ATTACK WHAT THEY DO NOT SEE

and not

THEY CAN NOT ATTACK WHAT THEY CAN NOT SEE

However, I wonder if even though the OP corrected an obvious mistake (because the letters spell out the DO NOT and not the CAN NOT), they did not confirm that is the end of the Morse Code message.

Say you change the words:

IS
TOP

to

I
STOP

Could that be telling us that somehow the private key ends (STOP) at the I?

Just a thought.

Khm... Grin

I was also try something with inverse colors last night. Deleted at this time but nice labirints has been painted. I play with it and by the way invent rules for that (with arguments, for example, why I can go through this block, and can not though other) but no success at all. Also trying change images from original to inverted when stucks up at some moments. That is all I have started after trying to generate some addresses from texts processed on varies maners that has been getted from Alice in Wonderland. No good results...

Need more ideas.

Now here's an interesting image:



Notice the eye and the blue dot?

Not the same color anymore.....

That being said, I doubt it's relevant, I just found it interesting.

EDIT: Fuck me, just noticed that there is more actual blue dots......

Alice, is this relevant?

All I did was invert the colors and voila, a shit load of blue dots.
Why is that?

EDIT: Yellows became blue.....

Red and Green are now Cyan and Magenta......

Btw, anyone tried to connect dots..(green red) and decode it using braille?

I never done braille before.
How do I go about it?

So, I have been doing some research.

After Alice saw that the next clue was found she made a transaction from the sos account.
Which to me means there is more morse code.

We also saw the famous http and 404 transaction which means stop looking for a URL.

Then she started making transactions from a PB account.....

PB, hmmmm, Point Blank?
Nah, Point Blue - as in the Blue dot?
Probably.

Also there are exactly 1 P and 1 B (the one in the address omitted) in the letters.

I have tried several checks, hashes and what not for everything in between those letters and came up with nothing.

BTW, those are: P4iDcIxbMy2nLi31nmtHdEhirLbwb5yufe3TCSvjwoAUrk9FzRe7aeJ62YTO6AB

I don't know if the new address means anything or not, but I had to check Smiley

Hopefully, someone might be able to make something of it Wink

I'm going to be up trying to figure this out all night.
I know the address, so now I must try to conquer the challenge of finding the private keys

Edit - yep, i don't stand a chance. Know nothing about cryptology and after reading some of these posts, I won't bother

Good luck everyone!

I actually got a priv key with a working address:
5KYZdUEo39z3FPrtuX2QbbwGnNP5zTd7yyr2SC1j299sBCnWjs
1HZwkjkeaoZfTSaJxDw6aKkxp45agDiEzN

Empty though but this came out of shuffling the letters & numbers which are easy to see.
OMG. That is so rare. I hope the owner deposits more BTC. Smiley

Edit:
The private key doesn't work so I guess this is fake.

Used www.brainwallet.org to get an address off that priv key and then checked the address on blockchain.
I did not try to import the key though.

If i've understood right a key is written with brown characters color.
There's only about four brown characters. So no. Sad
Where did you get this understanding from btw?
On previous pages, something about patterns.

P.S. It looks like there is a backwards number 7 at the top of the left guy's shirt.

Any idea who the 2 people are? Because they linked with the eye. Can it be a clue?
They are the guys who made the dark wallet.

Hopefully my suggestions, lead to a answer and a donation from the person solving this.  Grin

Let's hope so. Although I don't think you have done very much. (No offence)

Would the Art not represent the pass phrase to unlock the bitcoin ad[d]ress and pass key?
We have already been talking about this from quite a few pages back.

Will a Bitcoin ad[d]ress not be scrammbled with a pass phrase
We have already found the target Bitcoin Address.

Wonder what the All seeing eye has to do with this?  Sad {It's the same eye on a dollar Bill? on top of the pyramid}

Any idea who the 2 people are? Because they linked with the eye. Can it be a clue?

We have 3 things here:

Art
Numbers
Colors

Will a Bitcoin adress not be scrammbled with a pass phrase, would the Art not represent the pass phrase to unlock the bitcoin adress and pass key?

Triangle = Love triangle or the evil love for money, where money is the 3rd entity in the triangle.

What does a triangle represent in mathematical terms?

Here's a chat with OP from a couple weeks ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0N4hq4fVAnw

From 37:10 - 39:30 she talks a bit about the sorts of things that presumably inspired her to make this puzzle.

Around 56:00 she talks about the series of bitcoin portratis she's doing, which this is one of.
She's awesome, we're f***ed...  Grin

It would be pretty funny and sadistic of the OP if the solution and private key is not actually hidden in the image at the beginning of this thread.

You all could be wasting hours looking for a needle in the wrong haystack.  Smiley
