Yes and as someone earlier posted here we can't even be sure that the private key belongs to the given address, can we?
The problem with whether a letter is capitalized or not makes things just worse..

However good luck all!!

The address posted does belong the private key that needs decoding, this is the whole point

Anyone complete the puzzle? Damm , it is very hard to complete it.

No, I really think we need hints to complete it. Or brute force it.

Either way, solving the puzzle is near impossible since you don't know which character you did wrong.

Damn! I decided it would be prudent to test my program with known values before I discarded the previous results and it turns out that my program isn't properly hashing the private key.
I was converting from WIF into hex, chopping off the checksum and hashing the result twice. Turns out that's not the right way to do it. Apparently I need to convert to binary before doing the hashing.

Edit: okay, fixed it with pack

Code:

sha256_hex(pack("H*",$other))

back in business Wink

This is what i got so far with my research and some of yours. No results yet Sad

@CryptoVzla - Thanks for the update and for sharing your ideas! Excellent idea using elements from the periodic table.
@krumblez - Thanks for sharing the updated image. It's much easier to use Wink

@dalek - I will include a "2" as a possibility for the "braille" image.

I hope to get some time to work on it today.

You are very welcome Grin

I got my programs finished and ran the private keys but no checksum matches. I guess I was only expecting a match if we found the answer but wouldn't that have been disappointing to find we built a valid base58 private key that wasn't the answer?! I'm going take a break from it for a while and come back fresh.

Yeah, same thing happened to me. Ran it for 6 hours but no match. I think it's most likely to be a problem with the case-sensitivity.

Just wondering, how many keys did you check per second?

I found out that the rhombus with the Z inside is very likely the logo of "Pfizer".
If you search for Pfizer in google images you'll find pills in the exact shape of the rhombus from the puzzle.

Edit: the Z represents the Z from Pfizer since its the exact same font

It's not their logo, but I think you're on the right track. More image searching shows it's the shape and color of their popular blue pill Viagra.

still there for the taking? what does the chemical formula stand for?

Yep you can check at https://blockchain.info/address/1qkCBiEjY4GAUFBcrsDXqyM6EPbZKTqCW

IDK. That Chem form is wrong, i tried with the elements with no result..

LOL the Chem formula is not wrong! Perhaps you are unaware of the skeletal form of the benzene molecule C₆H₆. The chemical formula in the third image is actually the chemical composition benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid and 1,4-diaminobenzene with the water (H₂O) removed from between them. The structure shown represents the basis for the aromatic polyamide better known as Kevlar.

Feel free to cut me in for 1/58^th of your winnings Wink

i didnt understand anything that you said but
good luck with your winnings if you win

this puzzle is hard but it will be worth if you
decode it

I do understand that we are talking about the chemical composition of Kevlar and fragrant of the molecules, but what have the winnings and, in general, where the mystery or the answer to it here, do not understand.

I managed to remember enough of my Perl programming to generate the possible WIF private keys based on the answers and their combinations. I made some executive decisions to try to pare down the number of results which number to 5568 private keys. Basically I used all 58 possibilities for the unknown LED puzzle, 5 pairs and 1 with three possibilities. Idiotically, I closed my text editor without having saved my work so I can't even tell you what criteria used (I should be able to remember most - I know I selected i for the ice skate for example). For now though, I have to figure out how to decode base58 to hex so I can validate the checksums to see which private keys (if any) are valid. If one is valid, it's probably our answer... if not, I will have to prepare a larger set of possibilities to churn through.

Does anyone know this :p?

I've been through this site and I'm just not seeing anything. This is why I went with the generic word pill or tablet...

I've looking for that and I found this twitter account : https://twitter.com/kensington1829
Check the profile picture. Is it just a coincidence ? or not?

Whoa. I think that's a bit of a stretch... maybe if we could make a connection to Jan Godfrey?

how should it be connected? you mean z is like 2 in that picture so the letter should be K? either way only 300 followers gets me into thinking it is a digging a bit too deep
