(Here, I've concatenated all the data starting with lengths, then inner, then outer colors in the order of the pattern. This is just ONE of a many ways of concatenating the data. Just for demonstration purposes, I used a base 58 alphabet here and use ? when the value goes beyond 58. By no means is this a complete list).

Have you tried using the inner shape as the third bit (skinny line or blob of paint)?

Each inner flame is either a blob or a line.

Inner Color, Outer Color, (Line/Blob)

8 variations of flames taken in pairs. 76 pairs of 64 variations.

I still think we are looking for a BIP38 encrypted key starting with 6PR.

Update on this one, there appears to be another channel of info we've been ignoring (or not talking about publicly on this forum). Props to smracer for noticing it. If you view the "skinny/fat" inner flame as another channel of data, then there is an *almost* 16 digit match between the outer bottom height and it's skinnyness. Flame # 9 counting r 2 l along the outer bottom doesn't match with this otherwise perfect match. The interpretation of the skinnyness is a bit more subjective than the others but once you've spent some time deciding between them it becomes easier to call. This track contains the weird solid red flame most have been ignoring. See for yourself and let me know what you think. Perhaps we could compare our skinny/fat calls and start using this new channel of data for playing around with... Not quite as solid a lead as alphabetcannary's discovery but I think it's significant.

There might be one more channel of data not picked up on yet. I'll let you know once I've poked around with it a bit.

Serious question for those new to crypto wallets (me)... How to I check a guess to the solution? How can I know if my private key resolves to the 1FLAMEN6 address? If it did, how would one use that key?

You can import the private key into something like blockchain.info then send the 5.001337 btc to a wallet you control.

for one thing it seems unlikely they would have mined minikeys for a vanity address...is there even vanity software that comes stock with that functionality?

To what, to search for minikeys?

We have 152x3=456 bits, 76 are nulls after xoring, that leaves as with 380 bits, then, we have a set of 17 bits doubled, perhaps a 2nd key, making yet another 17 bits nullified, that's 380-17=363. What is 363? Well, Code-128-B, that can encode Base58 and Minikeys uses START code and END code, which are 11 bits each, also uses CRC code, also 11 bits, that's 363-11-11-11, so 330 bits left, 330 bits is exact bit count needed to encode 30-char miniprivate key...

As if you discovered the atomic bomb inside those flames, you deserve PhD in flames!, congratulations!.
My question to the mod, why you deleted most of the rabbit posts when he posted his address and you didn't see this post of this scammer?

Just to add to this: I've run comparisons between every string of inner and outer flames, reversed and flipped (exchanging 1s and 0s), and no other strings match up their first bits like this. Most comparisons match only 0, and the most any other pair of strings matches up, is 7. (Also note, the script double-counts, since every permutation flips one of the strings.)


 0: 448 (0 characters matched at the beginning of the string) 
 1: 230
 2: 91
 ...

could you please clarify why we have odd values (e.g. for 2 prefix), if the script doublecounts? I am asking just to have the full understanding of the numbers you shared.

Also, did you try matching the inside portions of the strings too?

Another observation re: data.

If you look at the first 17 bits of the inner track top color (l->r) against the first 17 bits of the outer track top color in same direction, they are identical. I know you'd expect repeats even in random data but 17 bits in a row starting right on the boundary? Odds are 1 in 131072 that'd happen?

inside colors
"000101010010110110", // outside track top, left to right

outside colors
"0001010100101101110010110000", // inside track top, left to right

Just to add to this: I've run comparisons between every string of inner and outer flames, reversed and flipped (exchanging 1s and 0s), and no other strings match up their first bits like this. Most comparisons match only 0, and the most any other pair of strings matches up, is 7. (Also note, the script double-counts, since every permutation flips one of the strings.)


 0: 448 (0 characters matched at the beginning of the string) 
 1: 230
 2: 91
 3: 65
 4: 33
 5: 17
 6: 8
 7: 2
 8: 0
 9: 0
10: 0
11: 0
12: 0
13: 0
14: 0
15: 0
16: 0
17: 2

Could be a coincidence, but the 17 really stands out.

I'm having a difficult time following your path. The eye points to the (#2) leaf, but then what? The leaf points down & right. Wouldn't we go to the next leaf?

If the idea is to follow the vine that the leaf points to, then that's hopeless. The vine disappears almost immediately and doesn't give any indication of direction.

The leaf with the #3 on it points back up into the flames. But there is no number 4? And yet there is a number 5?

hm... yes I've probably missed some numbers Cheesy

here you go, the full path:
https://imgur.com/gallery/rI1x1

1. follow leafs
2. follow vine branches (cyan color)
section 1, cyan path, do something with:
3. blue flame
section 2, cyan path, do something with:
4. white square (probably position)
5. white queen/bishop
6. blue knight
7. rays (?)
8. white square (probably position)
9. go to section 3
section 3, yellow path, do something with:
(and so one..., unfortunately we are still in section 1)
(leafs marked green are probably associated with leaf 12)

I would like to share an idea with you, it was probably mentioned before but with no much response,
idea: The branches and leafs show a path to the solution

The beginning of this puzzle is (quote from "The Phoenix and the Turtle" by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE)
So between them love did shine
That the Turtle saw his right
Flaming in the Phoenix' sight:
Either was the other's mine.

here is a picture of the idea:
https://imgur.com/gallery/XeMgS

the puzzle is divided into "sections". The path, what to do next, is shown by the branches (sometimes partially obscured by other objects) and leafs.
According to this theory we are in section 1, arrow 1. :-)

some observations: there is the phoenix hair, a brunch "skipping" 1 or 2 branches below, a K (or R or B) and a leaf pointing at the small blue flame

It's an interesting idea and I'd like to follow it, but I think you may have left out some things.

There's a lot of new ideas swirling around. I think we need to remain complicit with trying to make sure we identify which are plausible and which aren't.

One more observation: I followed the spirals initially. Both the clockwise and CCW spirals leave out the inner right side. That is: there are 8 sections of flame and 7 are represented by the spirals. Leaving out the inner right side you have 128 flames. That number seemed significant but whatever.

Whoa! A lot has happened here in a week's time. I'm going to try to replicate the results so I can play around with the data myself and hopefully contribute to the progress.

don't be excited too much as i don't see any real advancement or even where to start.
maybe you mean by (Whoa! A lot has happened) that The %6a5&*BlaBlaBla isKeyFile!

reasonable place to start or end but after that Huh?? I tried knights move but didn't get far and several leaves are off the board.

don't waste your time trying to memic knight movement on the board
First it's not a chessboard, second that piece is not a knight as it takes more than one square on the board so you don't know which square to start the movement.
That piece might be everything except than knight, and don't forget it's a wonderland!

Whoa! A lot has happened here in a week's time. I'm going to try to replicate the results so I can play around with the data myself and hopefully contribute to the progress.

Some things I noticed recently:
1) There is what appears to be an "and" statement with that ampersand. It looks to me like it is saying "Flames & Leaves" or possibly "flames & blue". But I cannot figure out a way to get data out of the leaves. Or at least I can't figure out a way to logically order the leaves. 10 point down 5 point up 2 point left 0 point right.

2) There are 0 leaves touching the bottom boarder, 1 touching the right boarder, 2 touching the top boarder and 3 touching the left boarder. That could be quatrinary encoding but the leaves would need an order for that to be meaningful. The small leaf at the base of the queen is the smallest and is the only one with a green stem making it a reasonable place to start or end but after that Huh

?? I tried knights move but didn't get far and several leaves are off the board.
