I have a clue for you.

You've all misunderstood the post.

The solution is a 32 characters long plain text. Who said the eight Camel Case words MUST have 32 characters? Who said the eight words ARE the solution? They are but a hint. Don't take the information for granted. People may have been wrong all along. Then again, the eight words MAY be the solution.

In case this perspective was helpful...

So you mean 32 characters include the space in the answer as well? Cause i just make a quick search & see that CamelCase rule doen't contain space

Back here after a few weeks, and notice one thing.

Why Op uses NatashaOtomoski instead of Satoshi Nakamoto?

Does it increase the difficulty of the question? No.

I think a part of the key needs to be anagrammed

Someone are trolling us, the key shoud be easier to find...

I'm in the game right now

If people haven't solved this puzzle until now it means two things... or it's impossible or it's really hard.

With the two hints we have should be easy, but the first hint is really tricky... I think the phase is hidden in the bitcoin white paper.

I already take all the phrase from there, but couldn't find the key, maybe if we take all the words from there and mix then to make the 32char phrase... IDK, it could take a long time, this puzzle is more about luck than about logic.

In any cases, it must have a coincidence with the address 179sxfh6rw6bHSo5wVUhLP96k46QaEzVP

maybe the words all start with WTCONOHT or tells us how many characters are in each word, this may or may not be another hidden clue.

The entire question has 37 characters so i don't think it fit your description. I tried many WTCONOHT case but there're barely any ones related to the question, i think it just give us the hint how the format of the answer will look like, sorry for my bad english

how can someone solve such a puzzle with no enough hints, and only a single question. i think we need more hints, and the one who started this puzzle disappeared after posting his puzzle, wondering if this is a real puzzle

That's why it's a 1BTC puzzle and not a 10$ one

Collect ideas from other members that you'll find in this thread, think about it, mix them with your ideas and try to solve the puzzle.

Seems easy, huh?

The solution is a 32 characters long plain-text (the private key).

Hint: 8 camel case english words, no special symbols

I'm saying these two lines MAY not be in correlation. See, everybody's been thinking of the eight words as of solution. But the puzzle doesn't say that. It only states those words are a hint. They may lead to something else; to a completely different set of 32 characters. Assuming the hint points exactly at the solution is, well, an assumption. So stop thinking of the eight words as of the end goal. Stop making them fit your criteria. This paradigm opens whole new possibilities. Let's be open-minded.

i see only u think that solution is two words of solution 8 camel case english words

we don't know if the 8 camel case english words have exactly 32 characters or it's a md5sum of it (32 chars)

To me make 0 sense, I can be wrong but I can't see why the possible ways to get the solution described on this thread are the good ones.

In fact from the possible solution, they went to brutal force the pass.

Sadly I have not the pass but I'm following my way, very far from what guys are trying here.

there was a giveaway in the past that was solved.
the solution was a url found on a message from the transaction. but the url was a locked .txt document that needed a password to unlock.
i can't find the site that was used in that giveaway or even the thread. so i cant try it.

i don't think bruteforcing will work esp if it needs to be converted to the private key, but i have seen alot of theories once you get past the first 3-4 pages

I beleive that's why he delete all of his/her old posts which is why i spend the whole week looking for how to recover deleted posts from forum

Hello,

First of all who said ppl didn't tried brute force with different techniques. i think he is wrong or he did not read all the replies many has tried.

The Hint was clear : 8 Camel Case English Words that forms 32 Chars => RAW Private Key after hexlifying

So am testing a very simple/complicated technique from more than two weeks without any luck.

Here is What am doing:

1 - Tried to create a unique answers to the puzzle question, it doesn't matter the number of characters but am trying to make it logical and keep it at range of 30 >> 36 chars.
2 - Split the words To form unique Camel Case words.
3 - Create A Unique 8 Words then Unique Phrases on the fly from those.
4 - Eliminate phrases that char count is greater then 32
5 - The Result is Really big if only you have few Words on your Dictionary
6 - To Speed up the Process i used blockchain database that have all non empty addresses

Let the beast go. i don't have big machines or servers to run this. am using my MacBookAir which will never get it LOL.

hope someone Will try the same and better if he can have some great machines to do it.

This is the only Way i found because answers to the question is very hard without other hints and because of the many logical answers that can respond to the problem (question).

PS : If i helped send some Tips : 1MErrUKhQxZP2ZzMLCf6WG3Z48wXRADPhb

Do you think if people are trying to get the key with a method not tied to the puzzle, are they following a wrong path?

Wouldn't it be more logical to have only one solution that solves the puzzle instead of having millions of possible solutions and trying them all?

As vague as an enigma may be, I don't think it can have millions of possible solutions.
In my opinion, the approach to finding the solution is probably wrong.

Exactly and any theory that leads to a hardforce the password is a wrong theory, simple.

It seems, you just skimmed the thread, not read it. Except for a couple of people no one was talking about bruteforce. We were discussing a dictionary attack because of the hint(8 camel case english words, no special symbols).

And the conclusion was that there are still too many combinations to go through.

Edit all of this quoting is confusing tbh.
dictionary attack is a form of brute forcing i haven't heard hardforce used before but i think hes referring to normal bruteforcing
And the conclusion was that there are still too many combinations to go through--- Exactly and any theory that leads to a hardforce the password is a wrong theory my point is the same opinion was reached, and people are still arguing about it while they agree on the same thing.... this is how far off subject everything has went

I think you are the one who just skimmed the thread because people DID try to bruteforce in different ways.

Anyway, I have given up solving the puzzle as I have tried to figure out for more than a month now. And now I am here again to see if someone have redeemed the reward but looks like it's harder than I imagined.

I am wondering if the capitalized letters are actually the starting letters for the 8 pass words and if they are in the correct order. Another problem is whether to include intervals between the pass words or not. I don't think it's clear from the hints whether we are looking for an unbroken camel case text or not. I assume the OP used brainwallet to derive the wallet address hence the camel case hint however with so many uncertain factors I think it makes the puzzle much more harder than figuring out a master seed. I am not sure brute forcing would even work here.

Also the theory about finding a text file with the password enclosed is not very plausible as the OP wouldn't have given the hint at all.
I think the biggest question is whether there are intervals included in the 32 characters mentioned or not.

This might be the closest clue about the puzzle so far. I was always wondering about the ?.txt on

WhyTheCombOfNatashaOtomoskiHas21Teeth?.txt

maybe that is what the clue is looking for. Now we only need to find the right url and password.

the transaction didn't have a full url the person who solved it just copied the phrase and put it on the end of a filesharing site like https://bitcointalk.org/WhyTheCombOfNatashaOtomoskiHas21Teeth
i think it was a crypto related file sharing site but i can't remember the name or find the thread in my post history.
