I can't check the address on Blockchain.info: "Got temporary error 1218 'Send Buffers overloaded in NDB kernel' from NDBCLUSTER"
Can anyone try?

That means blockchain.info site is having problems (mysql replication error). If it won't work for you, it won't work for anybody.

I asked because i can check my wallet without problems.

Not only the hints have changed/deleted... the picture itself has also changed !!!!!
People... you've been staring at this picture for 3 straight day.... its an insult to the artist not to see the difference.... Grin

Back to Morse then... sorry too tired of chasing my own tail.
I'll read about the solve tomorrow..

Really like the puzzles in this game... its was just too hard to figure out where to place the answers. Undecided

how do you know it changes?

Media Header Box of Space.mp4 has modification time 3476172416 (25th February 2014), I'm guessing that's when the "Movie" was made.

No signs of when it was last modified apart from the timestamp.

what we need to focus on really is things that have changed

the name Space.mp4 isn't the original name so OP has changed it for some reason
more importantly, the "date last modified" is 2nd July 1980 which sticks out like a sore thumb, today is 2nd July so he's only changed the year to 1980
Is there a way to undo the modified date or check what else has been modified in the file?

Portrait is a "shared start point." Google is your friend.

Public Address: 1HXUobwcB19cGDrghuh42HDdJdJvrJUEra

"Bitcoin hash is the hash of the hash, so two SHA256 rounds are needed"

OP did you went mad? Sad

all hints deleted..

Hasn't 2.7z already being opened?

I have a feeling the phrase "Satoshi was here" which was embedded in the game has some significance. The sha256(sha256("Satoshi was here")) == 464b32e761b63b97c5cb2404ed26ac3e05f538471aabbc99564d09d96b130da0

Yeah, that has been solved. That summary isn't up-to-date. I have updated a bit. I hope you don't mind mirth.

bitcoininformation's roundup #1:

Clues:
- Always apply Bitcoin protocol - "Bitcoin hash is the hash of the hash, so two SHA256 rounds are needed"
- "Never underestimate the determination of a kid who is time-rich and cash-poor."
- 2147129 (from Number.txt)
- 8081-VA015 ODYSSEY (characters in the video from Space.mp4, also the album title this video is from)
- Jul 2, 1980 00:02:18, unix timestamp: 331369338 (timestamp of again files - thanks Prospero)
- Space.mp4 itself

Possible next steps:
- construct an IP/onion/web address
- get the private key out of one of the files
- extract something magical out of Space.mp4

Extra Information:
- 2.7z contained a game which had some sound files that weren't used in the game itself. One of them (or all of them) contained a QR code to the "Again.7z" page.

It was posted earlier before we got it, but the summary of the Again rar is valid and best roundup we have

- Space.mp4 itself

possible next steps:
- construct an IP/onion/web address
- find a password to open 2.7z
- extract something magical out of Space.mp4

as a side note, I am impressed with how many steps this puzzle has included. I feel like I could come back next week and catch up on the next dozen steps everyone has solved, and be on some new thing.

this as a summary

There's no where else to put a password in, so we're back to the needle in the giant haystack of the internet lol

What password are we looking for?
Sorry I didn't play the game.

we have a space.mp4
and a weird number
and a weird timestamp

thats all we have Cheesy

Pls post weird number and weird timestamp.
I will take my Akitas for a walk and workout for a while (sorry I need it - physiotherapy) and get back t you.
Thanks Wink
