Announcing MyEtherWallet v3.24.00: Difficulty Bomb&Updating blockchain

Due to the complexity of the Bomb and the increased risk of hacking, we pushed a rather drastic update that implements a number of changes and improvements, including enhancement of efficiency and scalability of the blockchain, acceleration of transaction speed, and additional security in the form new formats private keys which will help protect users against hacking.
If you are using private key or UTC, then you need to go into the wallet and update manually, otherwise they risk being unprotected.

How do i update my Ethereum wallet?

1. Go to our website MyEtherWallet.com
2. Unlock your wallet using your Keystore File (UTC / JSON) or simply use your private key.
3. Click Unlock and wait for the update.

Please note that you need to manually update your wallet, failure to do so may result in funds being lost.

We are taking these measures to protect both you and our network from phishing and malicious attacks.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!
MyEtherWallet Security Team.

I have been in crypto for years but I never knew there were bitcoin puzzle until now.

Quite fun to have joined this and solve it and price of of 4BTC is motivating enough.

Do you think releasing a physical artwork a painting probably where you can hid bitcoin it be valuable as well for auction? Its going to be very interesting if this will happen one day.

How interesting! Satoshi Nakamoto is a great person (or a group of people) if he can hide his creation in sight at all and not even hide this fact. Something tells me that there are pictures or puzzles of a different kind, and until now they have not been solved. ,

Damn , how long it took for somebody to Solve this puzzle ? I read somewhere in news that somebody did solve some Bitcoin Puzzle , but not sure if its this one . They mentioned that nobody could solve it for few years . Just wondering is it this one ?

This text is irrelevant
I have been following this thread for years now and up to this date, no one was able to uncode this digital painting. Also, don't they have any idea that this Satoshi Nakamoto guy is just an alias?

Not really. Painting was solved. The key was "the key".

No. I won't do this one. It leads to nowhere. The "x" already tells me I would be marking a new block if it is placed in a parenthesis. the link to the genesis block is in the first set of parenthesis.  So I'm assuming placing "x" in a parenthesis is marking another block. By my little knowledge, I think its just someone messing with the entire public. I'd be amazed if something can come out of this. I will keep looking to see where this ends.

Since this one was solved a while ago but I couldn't find a clear explanation in this thread I would like to sum up the solution to the final FLAMEN6 puzzle:

First of all a masterkey could be assembled when looking at the ribbons placed around the key in the bottom right corner. Short ribbons represent a 0, long ribbons represent a 1. Reading from left to right this gives the masterkey with a value of 011010

Next Step: The flames in the drawing consist of 4-bit chunks assembled like this:


Code:
Length  : a short one represents a 0,  or long one represents a 1
Border  : yellow  represents a 0, red represents a 1
Width   : narrow represents a 0, wide represents a 1
Interior: purple represents a 0, green represents a 1



The 4 bit chunks can then be assembled by looking at the flames, reading them clockwise and starting in the top left corner. Like this:

Code:
Start at top inner row from left to right
Continue at the right inner column from top to bottom
Continue at the bottom inner row from right to left
Continue at the left inner column from  bottom to top
Continue at the left outer column from top to bottom
Continue at the bottom outer row from left to right
Continue at the right outer column from bottom to top
and finally: continue at the top outer row from right to left


Next step is to concatenate all these chunks together leading to this big pile of zeroes and ones:

Code:
00101011100101011010111000011100100100011110001101000101100001101110111000011011110100111110111000000001100010101011101000001000110010001111111001101001110101001111101100011011110011111110111000010000100100111101000101010001111011101111001100100010100101001100111000111001100111101010110101011101111011011100110100101111100111101100110000000001110111101111010100011111100100011110111000001011110000011111100000011101110100101111010000000000111001001010100000001110110111101110101100010001111101101010001000100010111010111100111101010000111100101110110100100010100111101111010100001101111001111010101101010001

Then apply the masterkey from the second step by using the key as an XOR operand on the above assembled message on chunks as big as the masterkey (6 bits) and once again concatenate all the six bit chunks together to get the final message:
Code:
01000010001100110011010001110101001101110111100100101100001000000111010001110010011101010111010001101000001011000010000001100001011011100110010000000000011100100110000101110010011010010111010001111001001101010100101100111000010010000110100101001011001100100101010001010000001110000011011100110100010010110101011101000110001110000101011001101000011110000110111101110110001101110111010001100010011001110110001001110100011101000110111001101001010000100011001001100111011110000111000101111000010100000011100001001011010011010101010100111001010101000111011101001011001110000110111101100100010000010011000100111000

As a final step decode the binary from the message to text:

Code:
B34u7y, truth, andrarity5K8HiK2TP874KWF8Vhxov7tbgbttniB2gxqxP8KMU9TwK8odA18


5K8HiK2TP874KWF8Vhxov7tbgbttniB2gxqxP8KMU9TwK8odA18 in the final message is a Wallet Import Format of the private key for the 1FLAMEN address:
Code:
WIF   : 5K8HiK2TP874KWF8Vhxov7tbgbttniB2gxqxP8KMU9TwK8odA18
Public Key : 02AF0F6203B43276804C2CBBDA0D10C797E61805B56E7ABB5DD0CD90F69113DC1B

more on topic, i am curious why everyone talks about running XOR and modulus operations on the bitstreams?  maybe i need to read through everything again, but just looking at the painting all i see (and it stands out very prominently) is an ampersand, which would indicate to me an AND operation.  also it seems perhaps more than a coincidence that there are 3 leaves attached to the ampersand, pointing to the knight, the queen, and the phoenix.  3 bitstreams to AND together perhaps?  also there are letters/numbers in the phoenix's neck, has anyone discussed them or their possible use?

Currently evaluated the look, confirmed hashes, created keys out of it, place it with an hex edit plan... Nothing so far.

Yeah I've tried all those the actual programs listed need decoding before they will run. Invalid characters etc.
Interesting that there's also a book about chess and the circles of hell training. The more I look at the moves in chess the closer a key looks likely to be generated from certain moves.

This does not match the time and cost in obtaining the required tools. The couple needed is intelligence and spend your time elsewhere, if that person will get you more. You are not so smart that you are willing to send more time than it is worth and buy some older computer or software, give up and you will find not only with your eyes but your inaccuracy. Cool

i just found this thread
so this still not getting solved yet and still continue?

I have tried using brainwallet to sign messages but I also get flawed, so maybe the problem is not with the opposing party and it is on the LTC site.
Most likely a Counterparty problem, try pressing the alert key several times without changing the message, each time it is a different signature. Finally successfully complete the process but use some BTC

I was looking for that 00 in the picture and I found it in the hole in the key (not a keyhole in the lock, but a hole in the key), it looks kind of as double O or double 0. But maybe it is like catching at straws

Not sure if this is on topic or not, but can anyone decipher this... this is just a small extract of the start of the 'code'... and/or work out what it is/does... I think it should be either some sort of computer code... or maybe some sort of music in 'quintave'
