... is that the clue?
Thats the clue, of course if no one solves it for quite a while, Ill post an easier one. 
Topic: [SPENT] Free 2.50 BTC (if you can spend it) (again) - page 2. (Read 4578 times)
... is that the clue?
This next one is a bit less focused on Bitcoin and a bit more focused on your general tech chops
(IsStandard makes confirms of spends take too long...).
Anyway, all you need for this one is some 1337 action on my dnsseedns.

Bump. can we get some donations to 1GYR2ugRiAZmnrDuyQFNSRBzLBn3NXmvoJ, Ill post the clue in about an hour.
The solution to this was:
Look at the txout and notice that the first string will be dropped, so decode that into text and you get "README provided by vrs/lambda".
Google that and you should get a link to the nightly server, grab the README file from the win32 nightles and scroll down:
You will fine "On the right track, considered looking for a hash reverser?" followed by "63e5f1ab96b5c328ea3aa484e08f18dcb8e7fabc3ae09082510da558ab32348b".
If you take a look at the script again, you will see that in order to spend it, you will need something who's SHA1 hash is a228a5f5367648b230f17a085646e56ae6e4ae53.
If you go to the top level of my domain (bluematt.me) you will notice a Hash Reverser, go there and enter a228a5f5367648b230f17a085646e56ae6e4ae53 and select SHA1.
You will get an error message saying "Hold on there, you shouldn't be using this service to steal money."
If you take a look at the source, you will see a message at the bottom which says "", so add a
&password=63e5f1ab96b5c328ea3aa484e08f18dcb8e7fabc3ae09082510da558ab32348b to the end of the URL and see the answer is 1EdawPCb4rhMxz1UapNnA9tZZt6ZoqaPrS.
Now just create a transaction with that as its scriptSig and send it off (of course its too late now).
Just a note: because Eligius, for some reason, did not confirm the nonstandard transaction (despite it having the required fee), the payout was sent manually to the first person who solved the problem and was able to create a transaction that would have spent the one posted.

Crap. I'm always so busy with reading some garbage on the forum that by the time I see these threads, they're already done.
And ...already solved. gmaxwell and Joric were quick. I'll post the solution when one of their transactions confirms and hell, maybe Ill do more...
In fact, all the donations I get for the next couple days to 1GYR2ugRiAZmnrDuyQFNSRBzLBn3NXmvoJ will go to another puzzle like this, have to see what I can come up with.

Like it. But, damn, I can't solve it.

EDIT: I made another one for later, donate for the winner: 1GYR2ugRiAZmnrDuyQFNSRBzLBn3NXmvoJ (Ill be posting the first clue sometime tomorrow, sadly this one isnt quite as bitcoin-related but it ends in free bitcoins, so what do you care?).
Scroll down for the first clue and get on your way.
