@amaclin
come share with us how it was solved
The first funding transaction to address 3DfD6K4raTMZGrdMP69RRo9EUTLbAanQWX was
from address 3BovoiDyZEcH1vxNSnuwsxMtAZwXn2LbNA
https://blockchain.info/tx/6af9e6157279cfe9f46eb49e2bb64fcef18cc3aff9bcaf1677d03a1894f75ac2

this address had the required piece of data.

In fact this is not a real "puzzle". This is forgotten p2sh tests by Peter Todd and his twitter followers I think.

Ask Peter Todd for more details.

BTC to the moon is inevitable...
This puzzle is created when bitcoin is still at $1200 i think, considering how low these rewards are Wink
But because no one has cracked the code until now im just gonna assume that this puzzle is unsolveable and only the owner could open it

wow, it sounds like one of those pirate treasure maps that are lost and you go treasure hunting after hundreds of years for gold (pirates of Caribbean vibe)

Those funds have been in that address for over a year, and nobody has solved the puzzle in that time. I doubt the puzzle will ever be solved as it hasn't until now. Maybe when Bitcoins are worth $50k each somebody will consider it worthwhile spending days/weeks/months trying to find a solution.

The funds at this address are not worth the time one would have to spend in order to solve this puzzle, if it is even solvable.
If someone has an idea on where to even start, we could try to solve it just for fun tho.

I really would like to help but I'm afraid I don't understand how this works
Haha. Same here. I always find thjs kind of technical puzzles regardig bitcoin and blockchains but I couldn't understand a thing. I was hoping one day I will learn the basics of the blockchain technology and all and finally have a say o this kind o puzzles. I reall fin it cool that some people knows about this. Cheesy

There is an old puzzle in blockchain in address 3DfD6K4raTMZGrdMP69RRo9EUTLbAanQWX
I am not an author of this puzzle. I do not know the author.
I do not even know is it solvable.

OK, what do we have?
This is pay-to-script-hash address where the inner script is
Code:
OP_DUP
OP_IF
  0267f7fa0dc404435a3f2f9ef886e034c79bd554ebd6b948ec3b0d2578eb8fa127
  OP_CHECKSIG
OP_ENDIF

OP_IF
  OP_13
OP_ELSE
  OP_0
OP_ENDIF

OP_SWAP           \
OP_HASH160         \
    > this part repeated 14 times with different hashes
OP_EQUAL           /
OP_ADD            /

OP_14
OP_EQUALVERIFY
OP_DEPTH
OP_0
OP_EQUAL


So, the address can be redeemed by the owner of pubkey 0267f7fa0dc404435a3f2f9ef886e034c79bd554ebd6b948ec3b0d2578eb8fa127 or anyone who can provide 14 pieces of information for specified hash values

13 of 14 pieces are already in the blockchain and the binary data contains some patterns line "PNG", "IDAT", "IEND" - so this is a png-picture. I failed to convert these pieces to a valid png-file.
14th piece of data is still unknown.

But the person who provides it can empty this address. There is not much funds on it today. Only 0.02756405 BTC.
But may be you like to solve puzzles?  Grin
I have to repeat: It is possible that this puzzle does not have solution at all
