we have Turtledove (T or D) the Rabbit (R) the queen Alice (A) the Phoenix (P) but that Black knight is what? who?

we have 6 red ribbons attached to small O (6+1 =7)
and i think another 8 blue ribbons attached to larger O (8+1=9)
9+7 =Yari Chogi board

out of the 8 blue ribbons we have 011 and i think the rest from top to bottom are 10101+011

Could you please disclose how you attach 0 or 1 to a ray of light (ribbon)? I tried many approaches and none of them seems to be consistent, especially that

A) some of the colors in a ray are yellow, blue and brown (brown sometimes is a keyhole brown visible through the ray, but sometimes it seems a brownish color of the ray itself)

Quote from: kn0w0n3 on December 31, 2017, 12:02:17 AM

I count 9 streaks coming from the keyhole, not 8.

B) I concur that there may be anything between 8 and 11 ribbons depending on how acurately you try to count them.

@feedo: that is why I am curious what was your way of thinking to come to attaching those 0s and 1s to the rays of lights

Also, for the person who suggested the rabbit takes up 32 tiles..., it does. I went through and grabbed every possible character from the tile. I was left with a string of 64 hex characters that I began to permute, after running all night and generating a 44gb text file containing ~601million keys, the program had only gone through permuting something like 10 or 11 out of the 64 characters in the string.Then i stopped, far to much to deal with for just a random guess.

One of the rules of the previous puzzle was "Thou shall not brute force". I went down that route and stopped. The solution should be simpler than that.

When will you understand that nothing is as it looks? The last tip I can give. This zero is really a mirror. Think of the picture with a mirror. Maybe now itod and crax0r (or someone else) will solve the flames. It annoys me that you are so blind.

Do not give a complete solution. There are not very small characters you are looking for. There are no faces, there are obvious things and you do not need a high resolution image. Just look and watch. In the corners, you have these square spirals, they mean "rotate the picture".

You are looking for too much in this picture.

Seems he has gone full circle....

Anywho, I count 9 streaks coming from the keyhole, not 8.

If you rotate the picture, some of the white squares look like flowers at the end of the vines.
The vine + flower look like Ipomoea Alba, also known as Moonflower

So if a vanity address holds the prize, the private key could be full 64-bit hex, not a mini-key. However it could still have been imported into a wallet and then saved into WIF format. A string may not be a wallet passphrase because that would not generate a vanity address, however it could still be a steganographic key to an embedded message within the image, or just another clue such as an IP address or whatever. Thanks for helping clarify that

@feedo what is the step from hash to ip?

use this converter _just put the hexdecimal string here and don't forget to separate each two characters with dot . then search the IP you get with whois_

the previous puzzle was solved by collaboration

and this one not only needs collaboration but it was created in such a way that its impossible to solve without clues, i discussed that in another post.

on this one people are reluctant to share information. I've only looked at the puzzle for a couple of days, but in the spirit of the previous puzzle, I will share what I have found.

in this point i disagree a little with you. i don't think that people were reluctant to share information all that time as the value of this puzzle was only 1600$ on 2014 and even on 2015 & 2016 it was only few thousands, so why they would be reluctant to share information?! because simply they don't have any useful information and don't know how to start and whats the first step. they only talked about those flames and their orders counting them... even in your post you didn't give any new or useful information, those two members that bragged they are 100 steps from anybody here and they'll solve it in few days are trolls and only the stupid can believe them.

Does anybody know what the odd black shape directly under the Phoenix is? There is three curved lines that make the border of white and black squares. Possibly feet of Phoenix, I see the queen appears to be melting. The black shape looks like a tree to me. Not sure how others are interpreting...

This is the most confusing detail on the picture for me also. Could be claws, could be feathers, but those three curved lines doesn't look like any of these. It somehow doesn't fit there.

For those who have been going over the image with a fine toothed comb, just an observation: Download the High Resolution image and compare your findings with the lower resolution image. I had "found" upwards of 100 tiny numbers in the lower resolution image only to have them disappear in the larger rez version. I think a lot of these numbers/letters that really truly look obvious (once you've stared at it long enough) vanish at a higher resolution (which has it's own hidden numbers). So if you've found a hidden letter or number, compare between resolutions before getting too excited. Here's a "key" I found at a lower resolution that disappears in the higher one... at least it looks a lot less intentional in the higher resolution version.

I can't see anything because the album is only viewable by you. Use imgur.com for easily sharing images. I've also found some letters and arrows in the images I shared above. I would love to see your findings.

i uploaded to another site as imgur is not working
i don't know why the rabbit didn't mention those letters but i am sure they lead to the first step or something online that we have to search for it.
there are two clear letters M+J or E+J but i prefer M+J the other characters maybe S or 5 and C or u

i don't know why everybody here focus on the small micrscopic things and leaving the clear ones, i've posted many modified images with many letters, numbers, symbols... but the problem is nobody see them. it seems that there are many blinds here. so i decided to delete them as nobody reacted. i've even darkened the letters with blank bold ink and still nobody see them though they are very clear!

there are two types of letters in this image (readable, and unreadable) the second hidden layer of the image contains special encrypted language and symbols, but in the first layer the letters are big and clear so why you are not focusing on them !!

for example look at this one (there is M+J and maybe other letters) i am sure there are letters. only the blind can't see them:

i don't think we have to blend external images to get something new as everything we need is inside the image itself.

The solution is interesting and may relate to this puzzle. Each image is converted to six bits of information, and this series of six bits are used as index into Base58 charset, "123456789ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz". To simplify it, each 6 bits are index how much is each letter away from the beginning of charset - the letter/number "1". This series of 6 bits converts to WIF encoded private key in this manner. If something like this applies to this puzzle also, we are looking for series of 6 bits which begin with 5 since all WIF encoded private keys begin with this number.

Heh, I solved that one. I was excited that it might apply to this one too but alas I've tried it and nothing. Compared to 1FLAMEN6, this was a cinch...
^^^^
Congrats, good to meet you. I'm the creator. It was a relatively simple puzzle to cheer someone for Xmas. :-)

1FLAMEN6 is a "slightly" tougher piece.. Wink

Searched 152 flames for possible variant producing only base58 characters too, but no luck. I see no simple lead in puzzle data for determing PK format used. I think all hopes for linear sequencing of data are gone...

Shockingly that took no time. But I guess caesar isn't very effective. Everyone thinks they are close, yes. You're going to have people come out the woodwork, but obviously we can see who solves it when money leaves. None of those points are ramblings.

They are pretty much points that have been made. The book is my own observation. I cannot think of anything else it could be. Plus with the poem, it makes sense.

I think I'm close to solving. I will release my notes if I do, they likely will be a good explanation of how to go from point A to B. I just have to finish this code to get it done. Some things. - There are parts of the painting she painted over because she made a mistake. Critically they are in sections you would not want to make a mistake. - That's a turtle dove, not a rabbit. - The bottom right hand corner is the beginning of a book with 'bookmark' ribbons.

There are a few newbie lunatic trolls (all close to solving) in the thread at present, I am sorry to have to say that but starting from page 36 this thread has become schizofrenic rambling.
