I won’t say what I did because I’m about to go through a divorce and have a kid in college, and so I don’t want to help a competitor (I hope you understand). However, I’ve made it a lot further than anyone speaking in this thread since I first looked at this puzzle almost two weeks ago. It’s been daily work, but the image does indeed contain a Wonderland, and more, as the White Rabbit says. It’s a real rabbit hole, so to speak, and it doesn’t require specialized software that you can’t find for free online. I hope to solve it in the next few days, and when I do, I’ll show you some of what I found. I do recognize that anyone who’s gotten anywhere with this might have kept it to themselves, and so I might not be the first to solve it. In that case I’ll still show you some of what I found.

Truly, it’s the most impressive work of art I’ve ever seen. Its appearance is deceptive.

Pretty cool, however, if you didn't land on anything concrete (url, new image/data piece, a set of big values that make sense), but instead, you think you've made progress just around this piece of art (clue kind of pointing one another clue that kind of points on another clue), there is a chance its all in your head, and you know... https://memegenerator.net/img/images/600x600/15956180/charlie-day-conspiracy.jpg

Good luck nevertheless Cheesy

Satoshi Nakamato started the CPU war with miners and works for the bankers and big oil with his PoW
bullshit plus more and now people are learning that BTC won't scale using the current design but he is
smarter than Madoff because he has already "Made off"

IOTA has a better design using Tangle but that nothing to write home about and did you like the
clap trap about "No inflation" if you ignore the doubling of the money supply on each fork.

Lightning is just a sticking but if your not a software engineer and want to understand why i
say this then see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYHFrf5ci_g and then feel free to
debate the issue because i am telling you that the king has no clothes on but many here will
refuse to see it until the price starts to pop and what was it our great leader said about transaction
fees again "Virtually free" in the white-paper or was that toilet paper used by bankers.

Yawn.. Let me guess, your next post will advocate BCH .. Is the earth also flat?

High fees = low BTC price

1A as on the ribbons, using a proper Yari Shogi notation, would be at the first board-cell from top/left corner, exactly where the 011 flame pattern starts. This is how data on its own matches something else that makes sense, unlike far-fetched WR-troll garbage posts.

I'm pretty sure white_x_rabbit's only goal is spreading misinformation, to slow everyone down, perhaps so he/she/them can buy themselves more time to win. Do not feed him & ignore everything he said.

Interesting, you know something without reading my clue

Look now at my selection (red color)

(Marked very quickly)

But it's a curiosity. You managed to hit, even though the interpetation, think again

Who are you in these puzzles? Sometimes something is small and sometimes something is big.

I think no single person lives (or lived) under pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. I believe it is a group of crypto professionals invented something new. They watch closely how their child is developing and could kill it by dumbing those 1 mil coins they reserved. That could happen if bitcoin will stay as a speculative instrument and not grow into something meaningful. Satoshi Nakamoto is (actually are) watching us!

Template thinking for 2.5 years.

Your attention has been effectively reversed by the flame.

Reverse enough that you could not see the big white rabbit in the picture.

The end of 2017 - you still count the flames.

It's a wonderland and nothing is as it seems.

WR is troll. Because he does not count flames.

Is it so difficult to see something that is not obvious, think in a non-figurative way, do not look at the solutions of other puzzles?

Ribbon-bits are 1A and field with the key is around-A1, not on A1.

I agree with you that the rabbit, and now I'm thinking feedo, is a troll.

I'm curious why you are reading the ribbon bits like that though? What I see on the ribbon.

BIG Endian: 62
LITTLE Endian: A1

I can only see 1A if you include the 00 from the two keyholes at the beginning of the bitstring (if they do indeed go there), giving you 00011010. Then Big endian gives you 1A and little gives you A1..,

So yeah, are you reading the ribbon bits in big endian order and including the extra 00?

Edit:

Also, while I do think that the yari shogi board is a stretch. The key hole (the bit with the ribbons) does actually fall into the A1 tile (not around it), if and only if you number the board as the rabbit said (not like an actual yari shogi board). But, this is basically forcing data to fit an assumption.., so.., not a good approach imo.

And what is the address, which holds the 4.87 BTC?

What are the possible ways to access the account, meaning what should the solution resemble?

Private keys in bitcoin are 256 bits (32 bytes): https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Private_key

In both base 64 and base 58 (6bits per character) that would require 43 characters.

In base 16 (4bits per character) that requires exactly 64 characters.

Private keys can also be encoded in a WIF format (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Wallet_import_format) that allows for validity checking. These are essentially the private key with 0x80 at the beginning and 4 checksum bits added at the end. Optionally 0x01 can be added at the end making for 296 and 304 bits respectively.

These most commonly appear as 51 or 52 characters in base 58.

With all that said I think it comes down to one of the following:

Find exactly 256, 296, or 304 0s and 1s.

Find 43, 51, or 52 groups of 6 bits.

Find 64, 74, or 76 groups of 4 bits.

Find 86, 99, or 102 groups of 3 bits.

Find 128, 148, or 152 groups of 2 bits.

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

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.

So far, I thought you were just blind. Now I see that even a simple clue you can not use, you try to show it in a special way in reverse, to show what WR is wrong - go count the fires away.

Who has taken my clue will benefit.

they are completely blind, they can't see a clear letter even if you darken it. and even if you show them the solution they still call you troll, they are the real trolls.

i am so lucky that i discovered this puzzle only two weeks ago, so that i didn't wasted my time reading all that 30 pages of bullshit posts and blind trolls.

A few questions:
As it is stated this is the final step of the "legend of Satoshi Nakamoto", what were the previous steps?

Lost in the broken forum author of the puzzle forced solvers to use, and some IRC chat logs. Nobody ever assembled them in coherent way.

This is still one of the most intriguing puzzles, I have come accross. Especially with the increasing BTC price.

The flames were counted long time ago. Currently we are using rest of the clues (chess board, numbers, colors, poem, etc.) as guides on how to interpret the flame-data correctly. That's the correct way. Now do all of us a favor and go away, thanks!

You are so arrogant that it's ugly. And you are impostor pretending to be someone who you are not just to steal a few bucks. You have to be desperate for a few satoshies when you can stand knowing you pretend to be someone who is 10x more imaginative then you are, and still doing what you do. Just to let you know, as soon as you post that begging address again I'll report your post to the moderator to be deleted. Until then I suppose everyone has to bear with you polluting this thread.
