@feedo what is the step from hash to ip?

@680cfbb909 we can also match board from WR with image and pins with flames, but double it will lead us anywhere... https://imgur.com/a/5HxsD

Ok guys, the traffic in this thread is increasing.

I don't think there is any multidimensional stuff going on in this picture. And even those "micro"-things are just the cloud-effect.
CoinArtist posted the low res version on twitter. So there is no reason to think, there is anything usefull that is only visible in the high res version with 10000% zoom.

But CoinArtist also pointed to the poem a few times on twitter. But I couldn't get anything out of it, so I stopped looking at the text.

It for sure is nothing, but yesterday I thought "why only google for the text of the poem? Let's check out a picture of the original release!". So I fired up picture search and found a scan of the original poem. With borders.
So let's turn the 1FLAMEN6-image 90 degrees, scale the poem-picture to match with the borders of 1FLAMEN6 and blend them.

What to look at now? The vines look interesting. They point to words and letters. First three words are "All Truth here". So after a mini-heart attack I checked the rest and guess what? Gibberish.
So I looked at the letters, but it doesn't seem to make any sense at all.

Maybe one of you guys can get something out of that?

Hello all,

the previous puzzle was solved by collaboration, 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.

Bringing the brightness of the image to a minimum and adding lots of contrast will make some parts of the image glow:

https://imgur.com/a/MuBr8

The rabbit has shown you this by posting an image with an overblown brightness. I do not know yet what it means, but it's interesting nonetheless.

Part of the original clues was a quote from "Alice in Wonderland" and a big theme in that book is following the white rabbit. Whoever denies that there is a rabbit in that picture is delusional or trying to misdirect other people. Interestingly the rabbit occupies or touches 32 squares. Giving those squares coordinates would result in a string with the length of 64 or a private key written in hex. But what is the order in which to read them and what are the coordinates?

Using 0-9 and A-F seems to work and would generate a valid hex string, but what about the order?

The spirals in the corner have a direction for the upper part and a reverse direction for the lower part. The rabbit seems to be torn in half by the vine, almost symmetrically. 17 squares on the lower half, 15 on the upper half. I tried reading the bits using these patterns, but they failed.

The fact that the bitcoin address is a vanity one tells us the bits are random, so I guess reading them in a certain order is not possible. So that route is dead.

There are also letters scattered about on the painting. Arrows also. Found at least 3 of them. The last image in the imgur collection will have them.

Good luck to you all and a big thank you to the creator, it's been an interesting couple of days.

However, after the last sound of the puzzle, someone got emotionally angry, there was an argument between us.They want to hide this solution so that nobody can get to it for as long as possible.

i expected that to happen and i am sure that you mean by (someone got emotionally angry) coin-artist (lately she changed her name to Bitcoin Boss) because she is the only one profiting and becoming famous from this puzzle (which is impossible to solve without clues)

everyone who says that you are troll is the real troll ( or maybe blind or even stupid).

without you the probability to find the solution is 0% even after 100 years.

To be honest, I can now see tons of small but non-microscopic numbers all over the image. I see larger ones too. here's an example in the D1 Square middle right of the board. I see mostly 2's and 3's and the 3's are all consistent style with the flat top. Do you see numbers too friend? Are you also mentally divergent?

For me i think only if the business minded thinking that the bitcoin they can get big money maybe they already join because bitcoin is not a small amount.

.... 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.

That's true for uncompressed format, but compressed ones start with "K" or "L".

Just my 2 cents.

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.

Congratulations, my friend! It's not the surprise you solved it, I remember how brilliant you were while we were in the same group enjoining previous puzzle/steps Smiley

And just - is not anyone interested in buying some embedded artists development boards?

(To moderators - this is not a sale offer)

Do not send personal messages to this troll and scammer to buy something from him, you will waste your BTC.


This was not a sale offer, but I wonder if anyone interested in these puzzles was already thinking about entering in google - ea oem 011

But what do I know there, I'm just a troll Smiley

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...

Here is my solution code:
Code:
import java.io.*;

public class Puzzle
{
    static int perm = 0;
    static char[][] pt = new char[720][];
   
    static char b58[] = {
        '1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','A','B','C','D','E',
        'F','G','H','J','K','L','M','N','P','Q','R','S','T','U',
        'V','W','X','Y','Z','a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i',
        'j','k','m','n','o','p','q','r','s','t','u','v','w','x',
        'y','z','?','?','?','?','?','?'
   };
   
    static {
        for (int i = 0; i< 720;i++) {
            pt[i] = new char[6];
        }
    }
   
    static void swap(char i[], int j, int k) {
        char tmp = i[j];
        i[j] = i[k];
        i[k] = tmp;
    }
   
    static void permute(char[] i, int start, int end) {
        int c;
        if (start == end) {
            pt[perm][0] = i[0];
            pt[perm][1] = i[1];
            pt[perm][2] = i[2];
            pt[perm][3] = i[3];
            pt[perm][4] = i[4];
            pt[perm][5] = i[5];
            perm++;
            } else {
            for (c = start; c <= end; c++) {
                swap(i, start, c);
                permute(i, start + 1, end);
                swap(i, start, c);
            }
        }
    }
   
    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
        char[] lst = {'A','B','C','D','E','F'};
        permute(lst, 0,5);
       
        // Data file represents which vertices inside the
        // 6 point hexagon are used on each character of
        // the key. Labels A,B,C,D,E,F.
        File f = new File("data");
        FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);
        InputStreamReader ir = new InputStreamReader(fis);
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(ir);
        String[] key = new String[51];

        // Slurp in vertices file
        int c=0;
        while (true) {
            String l = br.readLine();
            if (l == null) break;
            key[c] = l; c=c+1;
        }
       
        // For every permutation of vertices
        for (int p=0;p<720;p++) {
            // Build candidate string
            StringBuffer candidate = new StringBuffer();
            for (int i=0;i<51;i++) {
                String keychars = key[i];
                // Translate into binary given perm p
                int total = 0;
                for (int j=0;j                    int rel = keychars.charAt(j) - 'A';
                    int v = pt[p][rel] - 'A';
                    // Tricky.  Rotate position of bits on each frame!
                    v=v-i; while (v < 0) v=v+6;

                    total += (int)Math.pow(2,v);
                }
                candidate.append(b58[total]);
            }
            String candidateStr = candidate.toString();
            if ((candidateStr.startsWith("5H") ||
                candidateStr.startsWith("5J") ||
                candidateStr.startsWith("5K") ||
                candidateStr.startsWith("5L")) && !candidateStr.contains("?"))
              System.out.println(candidate.toString());
        }
    }
}

There is an interesting recent re-tweet by the author of the puzzle:

https://twitter.com/Zd3N/status/946039176486584321

She seems to be involved in creating this other puzzle, as she was given credit in the image ("Thanks to @coin_artist for loading this one."):



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".

i see many trolls scammers newbies today! .. those stupid scammers think that they discovered the holy magic grail and they reached the final steps in 100 steps puzzle with thousands of strange creatures and 3d layers, hoping that they can find a stupid blind here who believe their lies and bullshits and send them private messages to negotiate with them and maybe send them money.

I will not ask for a part of the winnings, or something. I only ask the possible winner not to run away with the money without explain to all of us how to solve the final steps.
This is the only condition.

LOL.  This is an unnecessary condition.  Once the funds are moved, the puzzle creator will release the 'solver' image/post that explains how everything works.  This is how it's always worked with these puzzles.  No reason to believe otherwise this time.

Soooo after first clue you are both on different track? So I think this answers my previous question Sad

Maybe we started on different A. I don't know, honestly I consider more realiatic my workflow because involves what you clearly see. This has to be solved with low res jpeg, always think about that.

Real last post for a while. Right. Format diesn’t seem to matter, per se. I’m working mostly with .pngs right now, and still making progress. Whatever the solution is, you should be able to find it with the JPEG or Tiff. I’ve picked up work from just a current .png, and had no problems. This is good because I don’t have enough RAM to keep everything open at once.

That picture from Twitter has nothing to do with BTC or Satoshi Nakamoto. Do I have to zoom in until I see a private key or what? I don't get it.

I have only one question - I hope it isn't big clue to answer. Is it solvable the way I mentioned it before? Like you get first fat clue, clue A, 100% certain, you get it, you know it is the one and the you get to clue B etc? They are solid, distinct, undeniable?

The answer is YES. From A you can go to B, from B you can go to C and so on. At first, once you have done A, there are no other ways you can follow. But I've been on D for 3 - 4 days now, I went off the road a couple of times, I thought I found something useful like an IP address (a server with something else to solve, like the old puzzle?), maybe a game to play (remember minecraft?) and other stupid things that made me waste time.

CoinArtist told me "The art piece is the final puzzle. It’s all you need now" and then I stopped looking for an answer out from this art piece. The answer on how to decode flames, or what to do next, is in the art piece, waiting to be read. For now, this is all I can tell you.
