Not sure about spooky, not even sure this puzzle is more than a fancy hunt the Wumpus game. Besides, cjmoles is known for trying to play on the Felt. I'm just not that in to poker.

No....we haven't....It gets deeper! Just follow the crumbs. The idea of using the wisdom of the masses to covertly solve contemporary problems is huge! The utility of distributed networking applications is just barely being understood by the general public....The number of degrees in the "six degrees of separation" theory is quickly declining....think about that! While many are diving down rabbit holes in search of straw men like Satoshi, others are farming our data and using it to solve problems that cannot be solved alone....sometimes we have to step back to see the big picture!
...which may include disinformation.
I went back through my notes (i didn't forget the milk), I've been sitting on this material since November then Craig distracted me from this brucey Mosaic (very capitalization of that last word
). Subsequent to Craig and what I found prior to his emergence, I wrote about Peter Todd, Transit, David Birch, Nullc and a few others. The transit article is likely one of the most important clues as that transit network is very similar to the bitcon network laid out in the white paper (note: you have to buy the article if you don't have access another way, but maybe nullc still has it - or maybe Andreas S or Mssrs. Birch and Chaum have copies to share). I've written about Zooko concurrently with all of the other folks mentioned above - I keep coming back to him for some reason (he worked with both Chaum and Wei Dai at various points I believe). Ultimately, I'll need to get grave markers for my dead theories one day. Was that another clue? 
Tis. Do the gear and the pendulum refer to themselves as "the clock?" The most effective assassination is the assassination carried out by the assassin who is unaware that he is the assassinator.

I will provide some clues. Those searching for the guy in this picture have information: http://perplexcitycardcatalog.com/1/256/ the guy in the picture is named Satoshi.
And the group working on this related encryption problem : http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=14122 stumbled upon the concept of the decentralized component of "the ledger."
Bitcoin basically presented itself....and the name given to the individual labeled as the creator of the technology can add no value to its existence.

I'll take a longer look over the weekend.
How did you find these clues? Sounds like you know the answer already - how?
Briefly. Card #251 had some sort of code puzzle, the community working on the problem figured out that it was an encryption problem, they decided to brute force it, they built and distributed the client, they learned it wasn't efficient because each client was running independently, so they began the process of working on keeping track of eliminated combinations to distribute the workload across the network for efficiency....etc. Much of this stuff happened via ICQ and email but community recruitment was achieved via the forum thread above....pay attention to the dates and the type of people involved (where they are now is interesting)....notice the time frame when the project went dark....and notice https://www.distributed.net/RC5
Card #256 has not been solved.
It's all there...the rest you can find here and the early mailing lists.
Thanks. Yep, already done - some of it cross-checks w/ some research I've been holding back for a few months... i recall trying to remember something about a dairy, a robot from turkey, a trust, a company called Bitcoin Ltd. (formed Feb 2009), a Yale father and son (one in London, one in Denver), plus an accountant
Extra hint - http://www.economist.com/node/7001738 <---I think you see the bigger picture...makes me wonder what else they used us for....
Basically the ledger created itself as a result of the above processes. Distributing the workload across the network, and keeping track of the sequences used in the brute force attack so that sequences weren't inefficiently ran twice (double spend problem), accidentally solved problems others were working on in co-related projects....the rest is history --> the real work began with all the familiar names and Satoshi Nakamoto is just a face on an unsolved puzzle card; who, by the way, is still waiting to be found so that he can give the secret passphrase away that he's been holding onto for all these years. Smile....

the thing i'd love to ask satoshi is did you expect it to blow up like this? i assume he believed there was a chance but the idea of having to always cover your tracks must've been exhausting, especially when no one cared at the time. i guess if he had slipped up somewhere we'd already know about it.

Although distributed.net is still live it hasn't been updated in 6 years, have you tried to track down any of the known members? I searched thumper^ for shits since he is close proximity to me. Been able to track down any still on IRC or with the the same Twitter handle ect?
There are some interesting stories....many went dark but you can find archives of some of their conversations on other forums. Many of the people who participated in these activities went on to work for big companies like Microsoft, Google, IBM....etc. Some were already working with these places and secretly shared some of their companies resources....There's lots of stories....
These questions are pointless if you have a brain and consider the following:
1) If he is Satoshi, he will deny it.
2) If he isn't Satoshi, he will deny it.
What is the point of such article? To waste time? To get agencies to investigate Maxwell?
1) If he is Satoshi, he will deny it.

Maxwell does not know how to code. Maxwell does not know who Satoshi is.
midmagic looks quite like Satoshi though
Another interesting post on page 41 which gives more hints to the game.

Hey everybody. Been a while, hasn't it? Over 10 years. I stumbled across Find Satoshi a few months ago by sheer chance, or call it luck. Like many of you, I found myself completely immersed by it, but a little too late to participate. So instead, I made a podcast episode about it.
I read through every one of your posts here as part of my research, along with interviewing Laura Hall (of findsatoshi.wordpress.com) and Adrian Hon, the creator of the game.
If you wanna go on a trip down memory lane, have a listen.
https://soundcloud.com/listen-to-this-244929090/findsatoshi
Will be on iTunes before too long, as well.
Enjoy, and happy hunting.

I read that last night also, were you able to track down the podcast or is it still available? Didn't take to time to follow the links last night as I was bouncing back and forth in different direction.

Craig Wright is Satoshi.
quite possibly the entity behind bitcoins satoshi. was in his past, just a random player of the other games and loved solving problems/puzzles
and when thinking what names to chose for his bitcoin pseudonym was thinking of things randomly like
galt
waldo/wally
chouchani
fulcanelli
and then remembered his old gaming days where there was a mysterious name of satoshi that was never found in a 'game' he used to play. so he adopted it because he enjoyed the mystery of that name
but anyway thats all speculation. as is any other satoshi mystery.

Damn rabbit holes got me up past my bed time...
Cjmoles- I read threw a bit of the forum links you posted mostly twards the end. Is the card a key to 1 of Satoshis keys?
Unfortunately the economist artical is behind a pay wall.
As for the picture I'm lost...

Card 251: No, the game was discontinued just prior to the publication of the original whitepaper well before the encryption was broken. There were no blocks mined at that point. If you read thru the thread you'll be able to see what was being developed...
Card 256: This card is still unsolved and many of the clues are in a thread on that same forum....this guy Satoshi hasn't been found yet but he is holding a phassphrase to something....dunno....have to find him to figure that out. It's one of the two cards that have never been solved and the other one that was never solved wasn't meant to be solved....the solution was "no solution!"
Here's the thread with the clues to Card #256: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=16148&start=15 click on the red bars in some of the individual posts to reveal hints...this is page 2 and the hint there is "I am Satoshi!" That clue was presented in 2006....look at the dates on these things....
No one will never know who's satoshi is. And if I doubt if he will try to because there are so many reasons that it will not happen. Risk if he's going to reveal himself will cost life and let's face the fact that there are people that won't believe it's really satoshi.
