by the way where are you guys getting the "scrambled" key from? i couldn't find it anywhere in the video.

The scrambled private key is in the description of the video:

Welcome to our debut #bitcoinpuzzle video. In this video I tell you a little bit of what to expect for future #puzzle videos. I hope you enjoy!

Scrambled private key - M5BfrbCq7yfvVDT2xrpfmZ4KWTNpbXJgdYHzWG8t19yMbUvsP9vK

This is exciting. It's a nice way to get people attracted to the topic and the channel by giving them puzzles. Since we know it's not a scam, it's a good game to play. I, however, am not very strong with puzzles, unfortunately. I am pretty sure I cannot solve this one, but I'll just leave everything that seemed potentially important here. Maybe it can help others Grin

Cherry
Green herbs (corn?)
Something is reflected in the glasses in the green light
Bitcoin.org
Some white dot/a fly near the end of the video.
And we know that not all of the characters are scrambled (from the comments under the video).

Good luck!

Thanks for the shout out. Like I said, I hope to have better watching material after the first videos.

Clues are all around :-)

Its pretty obvious, since its a compressed key, It starts with either L or K and there is no L in the key. That leads me saying ( "first" thing you need is a wallet )

That's actually the most confusing part. For anyone familiar with public/private key generation it's obvious that a compressed key has to start with K/L.
However, it has literally nothing to do with "That leads me saying ( "first" thing you need is a wallet )". I mean there is no connection whatsoever. Even connecting it to the 2nd statement(about private key know-how) would make more sense.

One of the hardest parts of making a puzzle is to ensure that each clue doesn't have an infinite number of potential meanings.

If you read the other clues I given it not as hard as you are making it on yourself. NOT all the characters are scrambled. Key starts with K/L the 1st thing ... Theres the connection. Now your statement about the 2nd should appear a little brighter to you.

Im not sure what you mean by not having infinite number of meanings? If every clue was in your face obvious, the puzzle would be boring. AND for what?

Yeah too hard to trust a newbie member but I think its worth to try just for fun and dont expect even if you win, if you get the reward its better.

Im gonna try this later

My gut feeling is saying the guy really is trying to do this youTube business. If you have seen the videos then you will agree with me. He has put a lot of efforts and honestly speaking for newbies this kind of information will be very helpful.

So I vote for OP that it's legit.

Thanks for the vote :-) ... The puzzle is definitely winnable. I've tried talking to newbies direct. Brick wall ... So, Im trying a different approach. AND Im not a major tech head and I know most newbs now a days are not either. ( At least in my area ) ... So, I didnt want to attempt something that has already been done ( puzzle wise for current coders ) ... I will have different puzzle formats, but the first vids might be boring to old timers here. They will be more directed to new users. Then hopefully better material for all.

The video comments have lots of good clues ( for those looking for clues ) ... Its pretty obvious, since its a compressed key, It starts with either L or K and there is no L in the key. That leads me saying ( "first" thing you need is a wallet )

Hope that helps anyone that may be stuck with the formatting.

#bitcoinpuzzle still unsolved Shocked

... I didnt think this scavenger hunt format would be this hard.

My imagination failed LOL

However I see you have put a lot of effort on those videos and giving good try to talk to the average joe. You have the tone and presentations skills (it seems). If you can educate at least one person and turn them to be a Bitcoiner then what more we could ask.

Good luck brother.

Thank you for creating this puzzle,
but I think that video is not clear in explaining to new crypto people how to solve the puzzle.
Some hints would be nice.

Maybe we need some more clues? Brute forcing it (all) is way too long.
You said that not the whole private key is scrambled, but that 33 is not enough of a clue...

However, I won't mind if the new clues will come only Monday Grin

Again these puzzle. For me it is better to engage in trading than solving riddles

Solving puzzles isnt for everyone. It does take some thought and creativity. Thanks for your input :-)

Trading Bitcoin really isnt the point of Bitcoin, but who am I?

The problem I have with puzzles like this is the ease with which this can be cheated. Let's take an example, someone creates a Puzzle like this and then they share the Private key with a friend (accomplice) and after a few hours or days the friend post the result and they claim the prize. The friend then gives the money back to the creator of the puzzle and they rinse and repeat the process.

What do they get out of this? Well, with a increase in the views and subscribers, the Youtube channel owner gets income and he could share that income with his friend. Roll Eyes

How do we validate that the winner is not a friend or family member? Well, it's basically impossible and that is the main problem I have with these puzzles. Tongue

The only solution here is for you to get your ass crackin and let everyone know its real :-)

If I really wanted to "take the prize away" Im not sharing with a buddy ;-)

BUT the goal is to get more youtube subscribers ( thats why youtube exists IMO ) ... Like I said the bigger the channel, the bigger the prizes. I hope to educate myself and new users with the channel as well. Lots of people in my area still believe bitcoin is fake money. AND unfortunately there are a lot of bad actors in crypto. BUT they exist everywhere in life. They just choose to use real money now :-)

Good luck!

Thanks now lets focus in the puzzle, 0.024btc are good motivation to find that privatekey, as hint we know the key start with 5,

hold on a minute, the dude in the video explicitly says he is using compressed key for this one so it starts with K or L, since the scrammed thing doesn't have any L so it must start with a K. additionally the char count of it is 52 which is another indication of it being a compressed key Wink

by the way where are you guys getting the "scrambled" key from? i couldn't find it anywhere in the video.

if the thing to solve is real then there is still a chance for others to solve and claim it faster even if the creator has the key! you can't verify its solve-ability unless the prize is claimed and OP explains how the puzzle should have been solved.

What's wrong with it. I am not good with these kinds of puzzles that is why it is educating me since I can read the ways or solutions people that can crack the puzzle. If you are not interested, you can read other threads. Hope these wise men can crack the puzzle tho. Im rooting for you all, and hope you can update this thread regularly.

Well, yeah, it's all for fun.

Sign verified and this confirms that you are not wasting anyone's time. Sorry that you had to go through this. Reality is that there are a lot of fake people around here who aim to waste the time of the forum users.

Good luck with the project bud.

Thank you! I completely understand though. No hard feelings. Its tough getting a start in the cryto world. Between noobs knowing nothing more than what they hear. AND old heads tired of all the games :-)
