I don't think it's a valid Aztec code because it's missing orientation marks. However the pattern is quite interesting as if you split it horizontally the two halves are almost identical, and i find it hard to believe that that is a complete coincidence.
Diagonal? north east to south west and rotated 180 (Early and no coffee yet)
Still not a code though... Just an observation.

tried to use the yellow tiles as black, but it doesn't seem correct
I'm not sure why this code cannot be read, at least the size seems valid (19x19).
Maybe is there some black tile below the qr codes 4, 7, 8, 10, 11 or 12?

yep the puzzle from 2014

I can't seem to move around or look at anything else in the cell. I'd be interested what other commands / interactions have been discovered. I'll update this post if I find anything else interesting or useful.
This is definitely not useful, but this works: LOOK AT SELF. DROP PANTS. 
you can also dress the skeleton with all your clothes (pants, shirt, shoes and jacket).
Probably it's useless but the scene where you are naked and the skeleton is overdressed gives a good idea of the madness that is growing in that damn iron chamber
Along the lines of "view source", when looking at the map you can see it's hosted here "https://textadventures.blob.core.windows.net/gameresources/921b09cb-bb6f-4885-8da6-05254cba8706/Color%20Map.jpg", which is the Azure file storage service. If somebody can figure out how to browse other blobs under that directory, it might give more clues.

Oh... well bummer.

This is definitely not useful, but this works: LOOK AT SELF. DROP PANTS. Here's #9: You are in a rusted iron chamber. Water is trickling from large iron pipes above you. On the wall someone has scrawled “When in your house black crows give birth to white doves, then you will be called wise.”
thank you, updated the post

I really love these kinds of puzzles. Bitcoin has inspired some brilliant minds to create really cool puzzles for sure!
Let's hope it will be solved without brute forcing the final part this time
I will definatley give it a go again with this one!

Really cool game, but it almost made my computer crash because the imagine resolution is so big that it was struggling to render it. I guess I need to buy a new computer.
What is the total prize of BTC for the winner? only winner gets BTC or you can find small BTC rewards?
You tell us if you win.What is the total prize of BTC for the winner? only winner gets BTC or you can find small BTC rewards?
Seriouly just play. It's a game. In the past if the winner was kind enough he would donate a fraction od the reward.
Here's #9: You are in a rusted iron chamber. Water is trickling from large iron pipes above you. On the wall someone has scrawled “When in your house black crows give birth to white doves, then you will be called wise.”
I'll update the decoded qr codes with the order:
1 - You pass through two large iron doors into a large chamber. There are magical symbols inscribed on the walls. A strange mechanical sculpture of rusted gears and pipes dominates the space of the room. Beneath the sculpture is a vent emitting hot steam.
2 - You nearly fall into a pit of deadly iron spikes. You see a shadowy figure in your peripheral, but when you turn to look, no one is there.
3 - The corridor is lined with pulsating light bulbs in iron sconces. In an alcove there is a fallen statue with an inscription “When azoth and fire whiten Latona, Diana comes unclothed.”
4 - A corridor is before you. There is a dim flickering bulb at the end of the corridor. You're not sure if it's your eyes adjusting to the low light or if you see a shadowy figure wavering in the distance.
5 - In a small damp room there are metal gears exposed in the eroding floor. The gears are rusted and beyond repair. A clanking sound can be faintly heard in the distance. Someone has scrawled “He who can burn with water and wash with fire makes a heaven of earth and a precious earth of heaven.”
6 - Skeletons hang from chains and manacles against the walls. The floor is covered with iron gears, rusted scrap metal, and empty glass vials. You discover a leather jacket.
7 - An iron chandelier hangs from the ceiling here. There is a bookcase, you discover it pivots smoothly and reveals a secret door. In the small secret room there is a book lying open on an iron podium. The book is titled "Mechanica Mathematica," there are pages torn out.
8 - The walls have been engraved with geometric patterns. An iron altar sits in the corner of the room with an inscription “If you make the earth fly upside down, with its wings you may convert torrential waters to stone.”
9- You are in a rusted iron chamber. Water is trickling from large iron pipes above you. On the wall someone has scrawled “When in your house black crows give birth to white doves, then you will be called wise
10 - There is an iron passageway, it is very dark, you walk slowly with your hand against the wall guiding you... just in case. You come across a fortified iron door guarded by two mechanical gargoyles. There is an inscription on the door “The dragon guards the key.”
11 - http://textadventures.co.uk/games/view/5craldfdmkkzngf1davsna/days-destroyed
12 - You're at the end of a corridor. There is an opening to a large sewage pipe, the grate has been removed, you think you can crawl inside. There is an iron chest with a scroll that reads “It is the secret deed of the true sage to open the earth, so to make salvation germinate for the people.” Also inside the chest is an iron knife.
13 - You are in a large chamber, there is a domed ceiling above you. An iron sarcophagus sits in the center of the room with an inscription that reads “SI SEDES NON IS.”
14 - You are in an iron chamber. There are strange mechanical devices strewn about the room. It is dusty and the air is stale. On the wall someone has scrawled “The diameter of the sphere, the tau in the circle, and the cross of the globe bring no joy to the blind.”
15 - Water surges out of a large pipe and begins to fill an iron chamber. You brace yourself against the wall as you find yourself knee deep in a channel of rushing water

My initial interaction with the game follows...
LOOK AT CELL DOOR
LOOK AT KEYPAD
USE KEYPAD
**Prompted for password to proceed**
LOOK AT FLOOR
LOOK AT SKELETON
LOOK AT RUSTED GEARS
LOOK AT JACKET
LOOK AT NOTE
LOOK AT MAP
Map image displays
LOOK AT KNIFE
I can't figure out any other methods of interacting with the rusted gears, maybe there is something more there. You can pick up the knife, note, jacket, and map. The items are interesting, but I haven't been able to use them in any way that seems helpful. I put the jacket on the skeleton, some other seemingly useless tasks, and then got kind of bored.
I can't seem to move around or look at anything else in the cell. I'd be interested what other commands / interactions have been discovered. I'll update this post if I find anything else interesting or useful.

The note is faded and barely legible but you can make out the message:
I fear I may perish soon. The portal sent me here. Now, I'm trapped with no way out. I think this map holds the key but I can't decipher it.
