Avoiding the drama, I think it is good to "warn" people that come to this thread and play the next one, to be careful that some activities the ARG requests, _might_ lead to a hack.
What are you talking about? What hack? Please stop spreading the FUD.
They are talking about this:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/arg-puzzle-with-35btc-prize-the-alternative-ending-683366As you can see there is no FUD there.
Just evidence....
Btw didnt user S4VV4S ask you which version makes more sense and you replied that his is better?
So what FUD are you refering to?
I'm referring to FUD that "...activities the ARG requests, _might_ lead to a hack." It implies there is something dangerous happening here regarding everyone's security, which obviously is a FUD.
Once again, your solution IS more elegant, but your solution doesn't lead to correct WIF key. Therefore, it can not be called a "solution", it's just an idea what should be more elegant ending to the puzzle. There was only one solution to this, and it's been found by Gatekeeper. You can be unsatisfied as much as you want, but you are just spoiling the future fun for everyone of us. Frankly, if I would be in ycoinartist shoes, I would think twice if I would bother to start another round if she can expect such trolling you are doing here. I can only suppose many users unsubscribed from this thread because of you.
Please stop whining and don't spoil next round for all of us. If you have your suspicions that the game was not fair, then you should not participate in round 2. You won't accomplish anything but making everyone leave this thread and turn off the lights.
No FUD here mate.
Only evidence....
Btw, there is always something dangerous when it comes to your bitcoins.
If i am not mistaken there is atleast 10 threads saying they got hacked and lost their money within the past 2 months.
Would someone steal you money if it was in your pocket?
AND if they did, would you not have physical contact with them and also know of their identity?
It is not my solution, it was the persons that have cracked it. lets get that clear.
Once again, your solution IS more elegant, but your solution doesn't lead to correct WIF key. Therefore, it can not be called a "solution"
The seed is controlled by the "gateway".
And nobody has answered the question posed by S4VV4S himself....
WHY IS THERE A CENTRAL AUTHORITY FOR DARK WALLET WHICH CLAIMS TO BE STEALTH?
e.g. the dark wallet gateway?
do you not realize that these guys made a "bank" that holds your money?
and obviously they control it too.
Also, more elegant or more straight to the point?
There are many elegant things out there, but are they straight to the point?
i am guessing you are ok with the fact that the OP made a mistake and had you all trying to brute force when there is a perfect version of the game out there?
Also, everyone is refering to the Gatekeepers solutions (which was basically brute forcing) yet nobody provided the script that has done so....
btw considering that user S4VV4S provided you with many clues, what did the Gatekeeper provide you with - other than giving you in person 0.1 bitcoins?
And why btw?
What did you do?
From what i can see the user S4VV4S made a lot more progress than you.
Frankly, if I would be in ycoinartist shoes, I would think twice if I would bother to start another round if she can expect such trolling you are doing here. I can only suppose many users unsubscribed from this thread because of you.
The coinartist should think 100 times before publishing anything again simply because we are waiting....
No brute forcing involved. Just plain wits and knowledge.
This is a promise just because we dont like cheaters.
Please stop whining and don't spoil next round for all of us.
if you are going to go about it with the mentality you have now, next round will only probably give you another 0.1 bitcoins just to have you posting bullshit like you do now.
If you have your suspicions that the game was not fair, then you should not participate in round 2.
suspicions or opinions do not count when evidence is presented......
You won't accomplish anything but making everyone leave this thread and turn off the lights.
good, then consider this a warning.
do not participate in the next round.
it is owned by us.
just a heads up
