So xah4ooDei5cha1thohxanoon and HODL means nothing?
OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY was known as OP_HODL.

Damn, I did figure out the free mason's cipher but I didn't think of using the previous key.
Congrats to the solver!

This was how to arrive at the solution:

1. Put the four OP codes in the order they would have in a standard transaction, this gives a txid.
2. Use the amount of btc sent in this transaction to assign a number to each dot in the grid.

At least I was on the right track lol till dots and 21387645 order. I never figured out which cipher this one is. Sad

So xah4ooDei5cha1thohxanoon and HODL means nothing? lol I spent too much time on the former. xD
Clever puzzle, though I'd've preferred it with a hint on which cipher to use. Grin

Congratulations to the winner!

1. Put the four OP codes in the order they would have in a standard transaction, this gives a txid.
2. Use the amount of btc sent in this transaction to assign a number to each dot in the grid.
3. Draw lines between each dot, using the provided numbers, this results in a tic tac toe/pigpen/freemason cipher (the dots indicate which letters in the cipher require a dot) (http://symboldictionary.net/?p=2632).
4. Solve the cipher using the keyword 'incomputable' from the previous puzzle.

Results in: **sherlocktimeverify**

It might be related to the HASH160 part as an anagram of some sort

Yeah, I tried it just now and it didn't go so well lol
e47250402afcf7a8 is the SHA160, might have something to do with a public key/address/transaction/txid.
Good luck everyone, I won't be trying this as its too late for me lol

Has anyone tried going from numbers to text? IE: 3 = C
If so, have you tried a keyword cipher decrypt or cipher shift?
The decrypt key for the cipher might be "HODL" as mentioned in the post

stupid idea, and I would try it if I was on my pc but I'm not Sad
this seems like a hard one

Hardest one and I think it's required deep analysis of cryptography mastery to solve this Q
