Next clue is that the phrase is taken from a song (funds are still there so the bots haven't one yet).

No questions yet so I'll expand on the clue "strain" - it has to do with nationality.

BTW - this is also a test of the safety of "brainwallets" so it is entirely possible that a bot *could* get the funds first (let's see).

You need to take an SHA256 hash of the 4 word pass phrase (upper and lower case characters have been used) and then use that in brainwallet.org as its pass phrase in order to get the private key (public address is https://blockchain.info/address/148cWMjpGsDtkVMNEb5oH8GU8yvSbgGbTK).

Initial clues are "wild" and "strain" (more will follow until the private key is revealed and if you discover the private key be sure to sweep the funds before posting it).

BTW - the first 8 characters of the SHA256 hash that you will need to use as the brainwallet pass phrase is 4c46256d - happy hunting!

You are welcome to ask questions and anything not as direct as "what is the pass phrase" will be answered to help with the guessing. Smiley
