and of contra III https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3GpF_OjpmA

I actually had contra III. Well no triangles and the games are classic side scrolling shoot em ups. Not sure if thats actually a clue.

But what if there isn't a way to get a private key from the puzzle and this is all an inexpensive publicity stunt? Grin

3.5BTC to became worldwide famous is peanuts Wink

That being said, I never heard of Coin Artist before this game and now I am a fan  Grin

EDIT: A woman, who is a great artist, a gamer, got good computer skills and she is smoking hot!!!!!

What more can a guy ask for?

Coin Artist, do you like beer too?  Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

Update 6/29

- Message decoder has been discovered.

Moving forward: old blockchain hints are no longer relevant.

Current hint: ask a classic, avid gamer

quoted for relevance.



Thanks! I will:

Coin Artist, what do you make of it?  Tongue Tongue Tongue Tongue Tongue Tongue Tongue Tongue Tongue Tongue

There's a ton of anagrams that can result from the letters we have. I've even pulled African Creation Myth with only four letters left over. No dice, and doesn't match the clue given, really.

Also I can see the words:

The
Craft
Mind
Fat
Crab
YT - the artist
Mint
Minecraft
Heat
Hear
Hat
Cat
Care

and probably a shit load more if I keep staring at it.....

Is there anything contra related in Minecraft?
Sorry I don't play the game, which is a bummer right now  Embarrassed

removing 'contra' from the available letters we are left with:

IMLibTYBFDntheCraAt

from these letters I can get this anagram

bit.ly IMDB ethan craft

When i search IMDB for ethan craft there is a result. Probably not relevant but I thought I'd point it out.

Obviously she is referring to "contra code." Have you ever played a classic video game and used a cheat? Start with the obvious, expand from there.

For example following contra code: there is a bit . ly address, which uses the blue "dot" as an internet "dot." Just sayin: Obvious code is obvious.
if you're suggesting https://bitly.com/uuddlrlrba, append a '+' to the url to see the bit.ly stats and you'll see it was created in 2009.

How about Zelda? The Dark Wallet logo with the additional triangle section suggests an inverted Triforce. In Link to the Past, you can get a magic cape and turn invisible, rendering enemies unable to attack.

that was my thought as well, so we need another triangle to make a triforce maybe. Still on.mobile but maybe she has a user on one of the zelda wikis as well.

WHAT?

When i cover all the data that has already been used (included the most recent data from the overlay image) it leaves you with exactly 60 characters...

from top left to bottom right:

s7vY8ckz3miu2h5OP4icxby231nmHdErLbw5uf3SvjwoAU9FzRe7e62YT6Di

reversed:

iD6TY26e7eRzF9UAowjvS3fu5wbLrEdHmn132ybxci4PO5h2uim3zkc8Yv7s

I don't see how contra could be applied to this. I tried to see if pacman could reveal some sort of path but it doesnt seem to fit well enough
