Also the passphrase to decode the BIP38 private key is: MiKe
@OP said: "4 letter NAME"
Also he said it cointained both uppercase and lowercase.
@OP nickname cointains a name (Michael). Mike = abreviation of Michael.
Then it was just trying all combinations (uppercase & lowercase).
And i was too late when i figured this out. Somebody else got the 0.1BTC.
GG.
So after all it was more about having a keen eye & detective skills than bruteforcing password.
Will it be round 2 of this riddle?
Well i don't know. @OP is offline for a few hours.
Maybe he will tell us when he is back!
