Do you know who else solved it and took the remaining 0.005?
Mystery, just like the first. It was a very nice challenge! And that makes me wonder how you come up with this, I've created small puzzles in the past, but nothing even close to this complicated.
Some parts are disjointed. That's because I come up with them on the fly. I have an initial motif for the puzzle (i.e. the previous one was my first try at messing with vanity and color hexes). This puzzle's was the use of another account, to make someone log in.Everything else was just bunched in through coincidence. The privkey had "Eat" in it and I figured: let's turn that into a small bit.
Hashing made it easier to elongate the length of the puzzle.
I couldn't figure it out for more than a day, I tried many different combinations including brute-forcing, and eventually my brute-force worked. Then I realized the hints would have been enough without brute-forcing, so it was a nice surprice indeed.
