I suspect you guys may be overthinking this. Keep it simple. Take a step back, evaluate all your clues, and rely on your instincts as to how they fit together. And remember, you're doing a fantastic job!
Edit: Yes, arg, you too! Lol

This makes my head hurt...
...
Well, I'll say this. I have tried a lot of things. zzz.
nice job.gonna test it a lil tomorrow,now really need some sleep
if someone whats to play with it 
it draws the coordinates over the loaded picture (WOW.bmp)...
DOWNLOAD HERE : http://jau.cc/bitcoin/BAGIM.rar
you can load any BMP image (only bmp, if you have jpg you need to convert first to bmp)..
you can load any coordinates in a text file (dont need to have "d" at every coordinate, but need to be in every new line)..
or you can directly edit the coordinates in the memo fild..
you can select the animation speed
you can select pen widht (thinkness)
you can save the finished picture as bmp
but i have some question about it...
how you know that the coordinates are 100% correct like it is painted?
my tool painted it on another position, but i edited it to match the others..
how to know, when paint solid and when paint clear?
this was my problems while programming this tool...
EDIT: i have added one additional function, to manipulate the x and y position.. this way, you can draw it anywhere on the picture!

TWO DIGITS, WRITTEN VERTICALLY
36wow - check out what number is above the second circled 6.
Must be something there.....

a 3, but I don't see why its relevant? The 7 to the right looks like whatever circled it held the pen there for a second before drawing a circle around it. Heh, grasping at straws!

Please solve this in the next page or so, so I don't have kittens!
Looks like someone got the solution. Bitcoins are being spent.
god u nearly made my heart stop dude
Oh, sorry. I saw the 'spent' messages and thought that meant the account is being depleted. I am very close to the solution myself.

not that this would make much of a difference, but i converted punctuation differently using the wikipedia article:$!!!!!$!@@@!$!!!!!$@!$!@@@!$@!!!!$!!!!!$!@@@$@!$!@@@$!@!!$@!$!@@@!$@@@!!$!@@@@$@!!$!!!$@!!$@@!!@$

0 = 0a = 10babya = 36wow? o
Yeah, I was working off of a vaguely questionable table that I downloaded a few days ago. There's all sorts of weird Morse variants out there. Alphanumeric is consistent across the board but the rest is a bit of a crapshoot. For the purpose of the puzzle I assume wikipedia is safest.

someone managed find the "Wow! signal" wikipedia page with google fu that presumably involved the 'WOW' and something about crop circles or aliens. the wiki page prominently features a zoomed-in version of the wow image
several of us figured out that hashing '6EQUJ5' worked as a password for the 7z, and most of us were probably all startled that it worked.

So to your earlier question, the data left in it is unaltered binary from the original crop circle message.

How did you even get to doing that? Doesn't make any sense given the source material.
Compare them. And I go to do this too. Jump to:
