I have a better deal: Give me all the hints, and if I can find the key you will keep 701btc, I will keep 15.84, and the rest will be shared with the forum community.
Give me all the hints
And to me 
It is better to make a donation to needy refugees.
Looks like a lot of people are asking how legit is this challenge. I know this is the bitcoin forum and crazy stuff happens here.
We can focus on the evidence:
Even I have been trying to solve the puzzle we are not sure this is legit, OP hasn't posted anything about the opensea account and he is not promoting it (yet). But if this giveaway takes that direction is would be really sad for all.
I want to offer a deal for OP. Give me all the hints and if I can find the key you will keep 700btc, I will keep 15.85, and the rest will be shared with the forum community. I mean 100BTC for the community is a good deal for all.
Sing a message with the addy, or share all the clues, just prove this is real.
We can focus on the evidence:
Everyone, The op is my uncle. He suffered from cancer and chose euthanasia after posting. I hope you don't treat him so harshly.
About the private key, I don't know either, I only help him with listings on opensea.
According to his will, I will do the following things next
1:Maintain the opensea project until someone cracks it
2:Half of opensea's income will be donated and the other half will be sent to the above address
3:There are 7 reminders left, one will be released every week

You love fake puzzles?
I have no idea sadly about the public key.
better solve puzzle 64 instead of this shit.

I did not understand anything from your blog, I have difficulties with the translation 
Can anyone enlighten me, when signing a message, the public key becomes known?
It is also very interesting about deciphering guesses S=3, O=F and N=7

But he could at any time transfer the funds and make the treasure hunt ... a rip off.
It is more a sort of trap to waste computing power / time

dear Dylan41, just sign a message please it's that simple. We're waiting for your respond.
Not necessarily, if he just sign a message with the puzzle address we'd surely try to solve the puzzle, after making sure it's a legit one.
This post remind to me mine blog post

First of all sign a message. But even in that case we cannot trust he will left the funds before the puzzle has been solved

The private key in question, (not encrypted with bip38) is already owned by the malicious operator.
He is the owner of the private key without a password.

If you sign a message, will the public key be known?
What benefit can be gained by creating such a topic with a fake challenge?
i'm not sure if the public key will be shown after signing a message.What benefit can be gained by creating such a topic with a fake challenge?
probably just a teen who wants to waste our time?
WE don't even know if the puzzle is given in compressed address or uncompressed. this makes the puzzle 2x times harder if it was real. I don't think this puzzle is possible.

Stop wasting your time guys. why would someone who died giveaway 800 bitcoins like this to strangers, rather giving it to family / friends members? we want to OP to sign a message or either stop wasting our time. or prove that puzzle is legit.
Tip 3: "V" = "verify" = 7
aaa ;-) OK, now it is clear
I guess S=3, O=F and N=7. I = I do not know if we have two different values or one duplicated.
Can you explain?
...
You have 63 characters in both strings

You are right, after taking a look again at the image and the missing chart was an X
9F73E7XXXX10XXXXXXB6E10CFXXXXXXXXC2XXXX7XXX2B39B027XXXXB7XDF237A
After looking to the new hint:
Tip 3: "V" = "verify" = 7
I see there is only one V in the puzzle, so my prediction is that seven go to the next spot on yellow.

Tip 3: "V" = "verify" = 7
Tip 2: The first "?" = NO.50 = 5AB7
Even with the current information still impossible for brute force. We will need to wait for new hints.
The original string is:
9F73E7XXXX10XXXXXXB6E10CFXXXXXXXXC2XXXX7XXX2B39B027XXXB7XDF237A
And with the data we have the current string is:
9F73E7XXXX10XXXXXXB6E10CFXXXXXX97C25AB77XX32B39B027XXXB75DF237A
If we could find the relation between NO.50 and 5AB7 then the other 6 chars should be easy to find.

I’m not getting the connection to opensea here. Is this some attempt at promoting an NFT collection? I must admit, using some address holding list funds as a lure to get people to interact with an NFT project is a new idea for me, but I can see how someone could have concocted this scheme with that intent. It seems weird no signed message would be presented, as obviously people would want to know it is legit. That’s a lot of coins to just claim are up for grabs. I remain skeptical.
If someone can answer that then the key could be find with brute force.
Too many symbols for brute force.
I tried text to hex, but didn't find any connection.
I am just curious to know what did you rely on, on what have you based your thoughts to place the ( "5AB7" ) on the string ?
the second hint was: The first "?" = NO.50 = 5AB7If you take a look to the image there are 4 variables on the blue line, and two '?', if the first one is NO.50 = 5AB7 and the chars we are looking for are 4, then 5AB7 should be the chars and they match because we are looking for Hex chars.
Why this position not another?
Because the first '?' is the 3rd position in the blue line.And what make you think that is for substituting of the (XXX..) characters, not something else ?!
I'm just following the colors pattern from the Image.A good question is:
What's the relation of NO.50 with 5AB7. If someone can answer that then the key could be find with brute force.

Can I ask? I am just curious to know what did you rely on, on what have you based your thoughts to place the ( "5AB7" ) on the string ? Why this position not another? And what make you think that is for substituting of the (XXX..) characters, not something else ?!
Any ideas about VISION-313?
