I would like to congratulate the winner too!
(if there is a winner, that is)
Well, I am not sure if I should share this, but I have those doubts, it is eating me, and I and so many others invested so much our time in the puzzle, that it had better be cristal clear, and it seems not to be, so maybe I should drop it from my chest... and let others decide.
You see, the corresponding BCH address is not emptied: https://bitinfocharts.com/pl/bitcoin%20cash/address/1FLAMEN6rq2BqMnkUmsJBqCGWdwgVKcegd
But a winner technically savvy enough to solve THAT puzzle must of course realize that about 10% of the prize value is in BCH and about 1% in BTG. Protected by the same private key. The winner must have had a plan to get to all those addresses all at once, before the creators (who know the private key too) could withdraw the founds once they learn one of the addresses is emptied. I know, because it was my plan.
Only a person knowing that nobody else has the key could be reluctant and slow about removing the BCH funds.
So as I said: the situation seems not to be cristal clear. And with so much energy of everybody invested in this puzzle I thought I should share my doubts.

I've only had a couple short puzzles with prizes in the hundreds of dollars. If you look at the link, you'll see that prizes are almost always in the thousands. https://www.facebook.com/ytcoinartist/
How long will you wait to hear from the solver before you reveal it? It is driving me insane.
I feel like this guy.

Thank you! <3
There are many winners who have solved my puzzles and taken the prize, prizes of all different sizes. Give the winner a chance to publish a walk thru. I publish walk thrus by solvers consistently. Some solvers are known members of the bitcoin community. This guy has cracked three of my puzzles throughout the years: https://twitter.com/narcelio For past puzzle walk thrus written by solvers see: https://www.facebook.com/ytcoinartist/

i am not talking about the other puzzles with small prizes like hundreds of $ value that been solved in few days.
This one is 5 BTC and it's been here for more than 3 years not solved and was nearly 100000$ in value, this puzzle obviously was for marketing reason so that coin-artist will become famous for nobody was able to solve her puzzle all that time and everybody over cryptocurrency business will speak about you.
even if someone posted the solution, you could easily create that false winner.

Congratilations for you Marguerite Christine (or coin-artist), you were able to scam those solvers for more than 3 years in order for you to become famous with those marketing tricks.
And now you've achieved what you want successfully by becoming a "FAMOUS SCAMMER"
If you have no proof you should stop this calumny.
Thank you! <3

Thank you, coin_artist! I was following this thread since about 2015, when I found this puzzle for the first time and had lots of days of fun (well, sleepless nights, actually). I tryed a lot of things for this one but I'm certain that I couldn't even get near the right path. `:^)
But it doesn't matter at all, because I still learned a lot while walking those wrong paths and it helped me to solve those three other puzzles, besides teach me about Bitcoin, encoding and cryptography.
I'm looking forward to see the solution and the next puzzles!

@ytcoinartist : Thanks for the puzzle. I learned a lot in a very short time. It's like crack cocaine for the curious.

Here is my previous post #691
The quoted texts are from coin-artist twitter account.
i've smelt the scam.
https://twitter.com/coin_artist/status/829061915695525888
ok its clear now why she doesn't want to give aid, but saying that some ppl are really close to a solution this is a big lie that only stupid followers believe it.

I would like to point out that via this Twitter interaction on Feb 7, 2017, she said some people are REALLY close to a solution https://twitter.com/coin_artist/status/829061915695525888
Hahahahhaa she is clever look what did she say:Quote
there's too much money at stake to give hints :-p I hope it never gets solved.
Quote
some ppl are really close to a solution, so I don't want to aid THOSE ppl
as i expected and said before this puzzle made in such a way thats impossible to solve without hints because she wants to become famous, she knows that no one can solve it.Quote
there's too much money at stake to give hints
thats not true because the value of the puzzle was only less than 2000$ in April 2014 so why she didn't give any hints that year?Quote
I hope it never gets solved
yes i know because you want to become famous as long as nobody solves it and the prize value increases and everyone will talk about your unsolved puzzle.Quote
some ppl are really close to a solution, so I don't want to aid THOSE ppl
ok its clear now why she doesn't want to give aid, but saying that some ppl are really close to a solution this is a big lie that only stupid followers believe it.
Never seen someone triggered so Hard. The nerdrage is strong in you. Stop making posts without a Single proof but you're twisted reality.

As i expected, coin-artist is a big scammer.
she or one of the creators withdrew the prize.
Well, not really, not if the answer that the winner, or Coin Artist posts, holds up.
