Not really. #5 is not as hard as the initial ones. I gave a try to it and got most of them right. But I won't destroy the fun like last time so won't be posting the answers. Here are the ones I was able to solve though: https://i.ibb.co/3fZLLSm/Screenshot-20210416-113454-01-01.jpg

Okay, It seems you got the right answer of other puzzle. I only need three more answers to find which is the number 9, 5 and 3. I am having a hard time finding the answer of boolean script operator. It didn't take me too long to answer the rest which I asnwered it smoothly. That three clues is what I didn't get the answer and spend 4 hours finding it as I mentioned in my previous post.

I know the 'payment type' one is easy, I already got five correct letters in the word. But my mind is playing with me, can't hit on the word. Cheesy

Give me the solution now, can't bear it anymore. Grin

Wow, the fun trampoline is working. The fourth puzzle was ground to the dust. webtricks, you left me no choice but to create a new puzzle. From now on the #4 is closed. The next will come tomorrow.

That was smooth!

I surrender. It seems I can't fully answer all the puzzle, I am having fun looking for answers but sadly I can't find some of the answers. I think the clues are a bit deep. I was getting close as I only have 3 left clues to look for answers. I have spent 4 hours answering puzzle #5. You are right it is a bit harder in your POV but mine is much more harder Grin

I spend some time finding the correct answer of number 3 and 5. i have a feeling that the answer of number 5 starts in "TRA" but I just can't think that it is the trampoline payments. Meanwhile, I also tried to find the dusting attack but it seems thta I can't find it in time before the answer is revealed. Better luck next time. I have fun answering and learning at the same time, also it brings me to other bitcoin related topica during my journey of finding the answer.

1. genesis
2. wasabi
3. dust
4. stratum
5. trampoline
6. salt
7. glacier
8. taproot
9. liquid
10. verify

You are doing nice job, soliton! I tried to solve the second one the other day but was only able to guess 3-4 after devoting around 10 minutes and then dropped it. The fourth one is relatively easier and I was able to get all but 2 in five minutes. Here are my solutions: https://i.imgur.com/lCzsNe4.png

These are fun, keep it up!

The last one was pretty easy, got most of the answers straight off without having to think. I won't share the solution so other people have a chance to earn merit, but I'll share my zero-knowledge proof of completion: https://i.imgur.com/sWPra0P.jpg

Welcome everyone into my my third puzzle https://crosswordlabs.com/view/solitons_bitcoin3

https://i.postimg.cc/hj60kqX3/nn624.png

Finally, I solved everything this time

^{- This one was relatively easier than the previous one but I almost gave up on finding the answer to number 8.
- I'll stop doing puzzles now so other members would have more opportunities.}

Solution

For those that are wondering about missing answers on the previous puzzle, I've added those to my previous post here.

Update:

Crypto Swap Exchange

Quote from: ?? on ??

All its words have a lot to do with bitcoin as shown in the following picture,

I know I'm probably not supposed to ask questions but is #7 also directly related to BTCitcoin?

Quote from: ?? on ??

It’s been two days and no winner yet? Don’t keep my next crossword puzzle waiting too long. It's ready but it will only be published once the second one is resolved.

I've been trying since last night to solve the last one ^[#7] but had no luck ^{[SS of my results without revealing the answers]}...
^{- I'll update this post if somehow I manage to make it right but I highly doubt I'll be able to; At this point, I'm just guessing words that have nothing to do with BTCitcoin ^{[my head is exploding]}.}

Update:

Quote from: ?? on ??

It sounds good. By all means you question is within the extremely narrow bounds. And sure, thing #7 is directly related to bitcoin. Will give you a little bit more clue to #7. This library may be used in algos to build the bandwidth-optimized gossip protocols.

Thank you for the added clue, I appreciate it

^{- I've been searching for the past two hours with no luck ^{[I'm going to stop for now and resume at night]}.}

Update 2:

Quote from: ?? on ??

Update: one of bitcointalk moderators has contributed to it.

Update 2 : I have added a companion to this puzzle which could help https://crosswordlabs.com/view/solitons_bitcoin2_companion

2.across in this companion is the the same as 7.down in soliton's_Bitcoin#2

From soliton's_Bitcoin#2 you have already got one characters for #7 . From companion's 1.down and 3.down which are easy to solve you will add two letters more. With three letters known and all the clues you should guess the correct library.

Thank you for the added clues but unfortunately, I think I've been either cursed or my brain just automatically shuts whenever it sees the word library ^[SMH].
^{- Link}

Update 3:

Quote from: ?? on ??

Don't lose heart, the task was quite difficult and I made allowance for this.

From Update and 1.down of companion you have already learned that Gregory Maxwell is that man who has contributed into development of this library. Knowing the previous clue you could feed the search engine with following string "bitcoin bandwidth-optimized gossip protocol Gregory Maxwell" . This would you lead to this article https://www.cs.ubc.ca/~bestchai/papers/ccs19-erlay.pdf By reading this article or using Ctr+F and "library" you could find its name i.e minisketch.

Read more on minisketch library.

You solved 90% of original puzzle + 2/3 of companion. Hope 2 merits will cheer you up a little.

Thank you for the detailed explanation ^{[I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to find it without you giving me the answer]}...
^{- Honestly, I don't think I deserve those merits but I do appreciate them ^{[thank you so much]}}

Btw, here are the solutions for those that are wondering:
- Puzzle #2
- Companion

nakamura12, I can understand you and at the same time assure you'll be not annoyed solving my puzzles. If you fill the blank space in crossword on its landing page and you answer is correct you will get the green check sign next to clue relevant to filled word after you click on the cell from other field, like this

Let me guess the 8 across - its hilariousandco!!! It is the easiest among the others as we already know the S lol.

This game is fun tho. Soon if I could have enough time I might create a simple web app that could be a crossword game. It's a great idea tho! Sounds a lot of fun to play. Will try finishing this on my spare time Grin

Also, if you have already tons of crossword puzzles, I'll send you a PM so I will integrate it to an app.

This is what I was looking for. I am fond of answering crosswords but sometimes I got annoyed if I really can't get the right answer and I need to do some research for me to increase my knowledge more about crypto or other information. Since this is bitcointalk then this is important for newbies to learn and have fun at the same time.

Good job. That was a fun puzzle, with a couple of tricky clues in there. 1 down in particular was left until last and then almost brute forced from the known letters. I was thinking along the lines of "proofofwork" or "distributed" initially. Looking forward to the next one!

I'll include my solution in a link rather than embed the image so as not to force spoilers on anyone still trying to solve it themselves.
