Taking a break from the 3rd to work on the 2nd. The key from the second and and Zarathustra seem to lead to the prequel to Zarathustra, but I can't get any where from there as there is no mention of unfortunately wrecked or china. (I still have no idea why "tra" is italicized.)
You are leading to Emily Dickinson's poem on the 3rd riddle, correct?

The 's', ':', '/', and '/' at the beginning of each line combine to create "s://", if you'll notice these letters appear in your address bar at the top of your web browser along with the word "index". What remains is "http" and "bitcointalk". "http" satisfies the requirement of having 't' as the second letter and is a username on this forum. However if you search members for "bitcointalk" you can find a user named "btctalk" which also satisfies the letter requirement.
Any search engine could help you getting started on the next one!
Then, just follow the guide.

strictly focus on the key.

Find the word before looking into s://.

Voodah, here's what I have on riddle #3, maybe you could help me with #2?

My bet is on the username for riddle #3 is http, but I'm not sure about the key from #3.

Btw, I think I have all keys, except the last one.. does it have a key as well?
Keys are used to crack the next riddle. So... ?

Wow nice riddles, I managed to solve the first one and find first two keys but I'm stuck on the second riddle. When you ask for Mary Read's mark you are generalizing here as a pirate right? Also, does the second riddle lead to what could be considered mature content? I hope I just found a false lead and this is not the case.
More hints for the second riddle please.

Looks like you're onto something on the second one
keep at it !I gotta say though, I only got #2 because I had seen the user in question before. The answer to the riddle is not the name correctly spelled.
I still haven't figured out the first one though... something's up with all those words..

Congrats about the first one, it was the most "messy" one, next ones are hopefully a bit more elegant!Also, does the second riddle lead to what could be considered mature content?
At least PG-13, for sure. About your other questions, maybe you can try and exchange hints with people who already solved the 2nd one, but not the first?

How did you think of these riddles? I am awed!
Just solved the second one (but only that one). Indeed, a bad ear helps!
(just getting into the mood, don't mind me)

Ok, I totally got the Second riddle. I need to find a post of him to check the correct spelling, haven't seen one in a while.

WOW! This is just ridiculous. I don't know where to start. Does one have to be a programmer to understand these riddles?
November 23, 2013, 07:38:34 PM
While I haven't actually cracked any of these riddles, and probally never will (riddles are not my gift), I do get the feeling that I might be a solution.
Not feeling it, do you know something we don't ?
Probably not.

Replace that unique one with the mark Mary Read left on the map.
There could not have been a unique one with 6 chars. November 23, 2013, 07:26:32 PM
Replace that unique one with the mark Mary Read left on the map.
Consider the mark as a mirror, and fix the reflection.

As a bonus, mary's mark is just one char.
Recounted, it is 6 chars. Bit hard to count that many provided my current state...
EDIT : fixed the reason why you thought it was 5 chars
Added more to the loot, hoping you'll forgive that.
Oh wow.. You lost me now !
I thought it was "sense", I know Mary's mark for sure, now I just need to stick it in a new key
Also, I think missed your fix ? Was it the lines ??
You... Are... Not Wrong. I just won't reply to this tonight again. Really sorry. (Fixed OP again, you can brag about making me a fool, now
