I've been working on these. It takes a long time to check the answers against Electrum.
To be honest, without any error checking, I am not able to go further. As any answer could be totally wrong. And we could just be barking up the wrong tree trying to think of another solution when we already have the right one.
OP, I think it would be useful for you to confirm when we have found the right solution for any question.

this puzzle is really hard it like drained my brain juice
Me too
But this is really fun 
Btw, can we get some hint OP? Or perhaps you can add 1 hint every ten days or so until the puzzle is solved

Really enjoying it so far! It is much harder than I expected.
Looking forward to get some clues about the numbers that are solved

Just a thought, but worth floating. In Puzzle (9), he uses 'then' rather than 'than'. Could just be a spello, could be saying to switch the e in the private key for a, or vice versa (notably the current suggestion has both e and a in it).
Edit: did some author research and came across this. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11983011
Seems this was a false alarm.

ehm. the post you linked was a typo, to lazy to fix it back then hehe
but who know's what it is in the cipher 
Haha, massive coincidence then
OR number nine refers to your name somehow? Did you try switching the a and e?
The problem is surmised above. Just too many possibilities and no way of knowing if each mini puzzle is correct. Would be useful to get some ideas on which ones might be wrong and which are definitely right.
Would be nice, but it seems like the OP would prefer everyone to work amongst themselves. I think he knew it was a tough one when he said he may raise the prize after 30 days or so.
Didn't he mean that he would decide whether to give hints or stop the puzzle completely after 30 days? Atleast that is how I interpreted it.
Due to donations i Will NOT stop the puzzle after 30days :kr

This puzzle is especially tough because private keys are a bunch of random letters and numbers. There’s no error checking in the solution, so you can easily come up with multiple answers to each part and you wouldn’t know which is correct.

Does this mean you solved it?
I will take another shot at it tonight, got some other stuff to do first.. No, he just added more to the pot address. The bounty for the cipher is now 0.56 btc.
I thought i had the right answer for about 50 times now, i just hope noone beats me to it
Anyways, it's an awesome puzzle op!
cheers
Hey i'm glad you like it
