What were the results? Loss of time, money and I was anxious during the entire time.
Makes complete sense. Personally, I feel that these competitions are a complete waste of time irrespective of whether they are legit or not. 
Topic: [Competition] Private Key for 1BTC wallet hidden in a music clip (Read 271 times)
It all comes down to how much your time is worth basically since you don't lose out financially by joining this particular treasure hunt. It's always better to hunt for the clues in groups rather than going solo.

after qwk has created this thread in the german location, i would like to do the same for the rest of us and also most here 
there is now a music video from the artist EES in which various codes for a BTC wallet are hidden. who has the private key then completely can then look forward to a wallet with 1BTC
have fun listening to the music and searching/combining🎶
Alright, but you do know that a lot of people are not going to believe you in this because they are going to think that you’re just looking for a way to get them to tap those links and listen to songs and nothing more. And another thing is that I don’t understand how you intend to hide those private keys in a song, the lyrics?there is now a music video from the artist EES in which various codes for a BTC wallet are hidden. who has the private key then completely can then look forward to a wallet with 1BTC

Most people are not going to have that kind of time to be searching through a long lyrics (if it’s long) and looking for a private keys in it. But, it’s quite an interesting game to play, and really good that you can come up with that kind of an idea.

Good point, however there's no way to proof that the giveaway 100% legit.
In my country there are A LOT of Instagram giveaways, usually done from celebrities. They use some sort of provably random number generator which searches all the comment section of their post and chooses the winners. They do this live and once a winner is chosen, they make an appointment with the winner showing that he/she indeed received the promised rewards, which is also broadcasted live. They don't give themselves thousands of euros or iPhones etc. All these gifts are given to them from companies which need desperately to be advertised.
Sure, they can lie to you. They may did not use a random number generator, but a changed-software which was programmed to return some specific users, instead. Some relatives of them. Have you thought, though, what will happen to their reputation if someone found this out?
I bet that they'll act ethically and do a legit giveaway, due to the discouragement of doing otherwise. But, in the case of this music clip, there are so many reasons the organizer is encouraged to cheat you.

From what I hear this competition has been going on for quite some time and up until now no one was able to crack it. I guess it will be very difficult to crack the passphrase even though there are plenty of tips. Best of luck to all and may the best man win.

This is definitely a great marketing ploy and as many members have said , do we know if it’s genuine
Funny thing is that this way of marketing can easily come back to bite them in the behind. We already had a couple of cases like this where the company tried advertising their shitty services with a fake puzzle and soon after they were known as the scammers! 
October 15, 2021, 03:07:13 PM
They all are under the guise of "anonymous" donor and for sure the winner could be "anonymous" too.
This is one of those things that I could easily argue for both sides... Despite how the majority of users feel, there's also a chance that there'll be a "real" winner, who chooses to remain anonymous for various reasons [e.g. safety].It holds ~0.75BTC which is the correct amount since 25% is supposed to be sent to a charity organisation.
Actually it's slightly more than that "0.77777777BTC [someone sent "0.02777000BTC" to that address]".don't you find 1 BTC a huge amount to giveaway without having ANY income from this hunt?
I wouldn't be so sure about that... It seems you've underestimated how much money they could get from the ads!though people who would listen to the music would probably be there for the reward and not mainly the music, but who knows?
I was curious to see the video but stayed for the music 
October 15, 2021, 01:16:55 PM
A good marketing strat, I should say, though people who would listen to the music would probably be there for the reward and not mainly the music, but who knows? Maybe after a while they get to feel the vibe of the music and appreciate it and the artist, too? Such kinds of puzzles are really fun and engaging IMO, and it's great that some people are really taking their time crafting one.
With regards to the 'proof' that everyone's asking, I agree that there should be some kind of a proof that there really is a prize to be had if the code is cracked. I mean, it would be bad press if there's nothing in there, and might even destroy the guy's image, too.

what maybe would be appropriate here with the whole action on the part of the artist, in order to take also maybe some users the uncertainty, would be the publication of the Bitcoin wallet address with the said 1 BTC ... then maybe some skeptics here would be quieted with this competition
October 15, 2021, 12:38:00 PM
I found this to be a great idea to spread the word about Bitcoin with music this guy is making, and I don't understand why some people are acting smart saying that this is fake giveaway and they never went to check that there are sponsors for this competition and that participation is FREE for everyone, and all you need is to find 12 words.
This guy is actually a public figure and we know that people are actually finding hidden words, so if you can't solve the puzzle or if you didn't try it than please shut up about this and write somewhere else.

But you are right, a signed message is a must to prove ownership of the address and to leave no room for doubt.
A signed message isn't going to prove that the giveaway is legit. I, myself, can sign a message from an address that holds over a bitcoin and describe the instructions of how my hunt works. It doesn't mean that I'll actually give them to a stranger. It just means that I've either signed from one of my own addresses or convinced a stranger to do it for me.
So, I repeat; don't you find 1 BTC a huge amount to giveaway without having ANY income from this hunt?
October 15, 2021, 09:25:48 AM
First of all, where's the proof which show the organizer actually have 1BTC? I checked the website briefly, but couldn't find proof such as signed message about the competition using address which currently have 1BTC.
This is the winning address: bc1qpuaqektgjqe2zsh7m0qg5edxa4h5mkfex22pfrIt holds ~0.75BTC which is the correct amount since 25% is supposed to be sent to a charity organisation. The funds haven't been moved yet!
But you are right, a signed message is a must to prove ownership of the address and to leave no room for doubt.
I went through their subreddit and it looks like few words of the seed have been revealed already with a video explaining how to find them.

Never heard somebody else doing this.

The puzzle, that lead to the private key 8 was easy:
If you watched the video until the very end, you will hear a sound, which if you were able to reproduce the notation it will result in a 99 notes melody with 6 different notes. If you have turned this base6 code into base58check you got the private key. Pretty easy, huh?

It's more like finding the recovery seed instead of the private keys.
Also, this is sounds like a new gimmick to get more views of the youtube vid, and there's no way people can confirm that recovery seed and bitcoin price actually exists, so its only a waste of time, not unless he/they proves that the price exists.

Most probably, looking at the youtube videos, is has 271k views already.
I don't know how google algorithm and analytics works but it seems he has making some money just on the views alone, so yeah, it's very effective.
They all are under the guise of "anonymous" donor and for sure the winner could be "anonymous" too.

That's a heck of a prize for such competition. Really?, a private key to find from a music clip. This is a hard one to find though if you ask me 1btc is not a small amount for a reward like me. If I ever won that kind of amount then it's a lot of money once converted to fiat.

WoW! This reminds me of the 1.1 BTC Puzzle, that I posted more than a year back.

Apparently the puzzle was solved by an anonymous person ? I suppose we’ll never know if it was genuinely claimed by a puzzler or by the promotor themselves ?

I’m thinking this might he a trick by the artist or video producer. Tell lots of people there’s a hidden private key, get them all to watch the video avidly, you know what i mean. Clicks = profits for them. Call me sceptical but I dunno, seems too good to be true.

Wow, this is really a unique way to gift someone. I really like the idea. though I don't have any musical knowledge. But I can use another technique. But it gives me some idea. Actually, I am thinking that December 16 is my brother's birthday. And I was thinking of gifting him bitcoin. But I need some ideas to give him a wallet ID in some unique way. so that it looks more unique. That is why I first thought about gift cards. That's why I searched on YouTube to get some inspiration about some cool gift cards. But I noticed that gift cards are out of date.Then I thought of a gift box with some chocolate, where every chocolate packet would be a code. Though for this, I have to cut the chocolate packet, which looks weird. But music, I think, is the best way. Though I can't make music, I got the idea that I would download a birthday wish tune from Google. Then after creating the wallet, I voice over the words from Google Sith girls' voices, then I add them one by one in the music. Then I sent it to my brother for his birthday as a music tune. This would be great, right? Yeah, it will be cool. Thanks for sharing, I've got a cool idea.
Though congratulations in advance for that person who will win this btc. If there had any reward.
October 14, 2021, 01:09:02 PM
Is there anyone who really believes there'll be a winner in this supposed competition? It is enough to understand that no strangers ever give away so much money unless their income will be greater than their outcome.
I highly doubt that they'll have such income to give away 5% of a million dollars to a stranger *just* because someone spent hours searching a music clip. Another question to answer yourself is: If they can pretend someone won it, but they're the ones who'll take the money, why wouldn't they?
Critical thinking, guys.
