When this is all over we need another forum to discuss all the cool shit you guys used to crack these things. I am curious as hell.
Anyone know where we stand at the moment? I tried accessing the files from work again and got red-flagged big time. Any luck on 3.7z or are we still walking down a fork in the road?
We already solved 3.7z and everything after that. Currently stuck at Crops.jpg. You should checkout Shorena's PDF which is an amazing summary of what happened and what we need to do right now.Some of you might have wondered where I have been the last days.
I posted a .pdf file yesterday, that was removed by the mods. Not sure why, probably because it had no proper introduction and I used the first one click hoster that did not want my mail.
I though the name of the file "the_trail.pdf" was clue enough to what it is. It was not finished, it is not finished now, but it will serve for those that want to catch up.
The short version is not done yet, it might never be done in time, depending on the way this goes. The file is very large because of the pictures inside.
here are the files: https://mega.co.nz/#F!Nlo2QJ4T!lgKMM21_MUhG99BRbwZhHQ
@OP thanks, its art the way it should be. I learned a lot about myself the last days.

in WOW there is a xmp packet
All that data matches up with what http://regex.info/exif.cgi has labeled the Paint Based Correction. This might just be the OPs edits on top of the original.Looks like that's true. Here's the coordinates plotted out.
On a piece of paper, your Y direction is downwards... you should flip this image, and overlay with the wow.jpg I guess.
visually it seems the channel information alteration lines up.
if might give the right order of the revised channel numbers....
I just don't have the tools....
what are you going to do if you figure out the public address's private key? how does one go about claiming the BTC in the address?
thx
thx
If you have the privkey you open Bitcoin Core, open the debug console, type "importprivkey keykeykeykeyhere", and wait for your monies to appear.
What arg said...
There are other ways to do it depending on the wallet you use. You essentially look up info on how to import the private key into the wallet of your choice. Not sure if you can do it with an exchange account like Coinbase.

One thing that seti does is looking for repeating non natrual patterns no?
Near the end of Wow.JPG this pattern can be found. As a matter of fact, the only thing after this is "FF D9", which someone mentioned is the "eof-signal" for jpg-files.
I don't know enough about photoshop or other image manipulating programs to say that this is manually added.
It just looks way to out of place to me.

Not really repeating, there are some alternations in the HEX but not by much:

Damn, this puzzle is going crazy!
Shorena, your PDF file is nice, however you should try to make it more "one thing". There were a lot of stand alone sentences, which was pretty annoying for me. If you packed them together in one little story it would have been much better. Other then that, it was definitely a good read. I got mentioned ones and one of my posts is included, yeah

I hate when she does that... why???EDIT: Still no strange signals.
EDIT2: It can be another bitcoin address. I'll check it tomorrow if it hangs until there. GN & GL

The Final Countdown
So we're obviously close to the end or even the clue we are stuck on is the end, being 51 chars it could be a priv key that is coded somehow. I'm totally stuck so good luck to whoever figures out the next part
Damn I'm slow... Thanks to you all.
You're not the only one... "Wow!" as a literal can effectively piss off.
