Sorry for being Stupid. but do we only got the picture as a key ? just found this thread.

Take a look at @Coin_Artist's Twitter account - more hints that the solution is steganographic in nature. I think the Baconian Cipher is still our best bet given all the references to Shakespeare throughout this step of the puzzle.

then send some btc to your counterparty wallet
then send some out of that wallet to your LTB account
then verify on LTB, then open Community tab on LTB, then click on The Legend of Satoshi Nakamoto on the left, and welcome to the next stage of the adventure...
sorry if I missed a few steps in that process

Re: Baconian Cipher, here is what I was able to extract. I used the length of the flames, outer colour of the flames, and inner colour of the flames as A/B for both the inner and outer tracks. I also tried starting from each different flame when decoding. I also tried reversing the flames on the right side of the painting since flipping those flames would make the greek keys (meanders) all be the same orientation.
My results, where each file is a de-duped list of each possible permutation using each different A/B pair:
Let us know if you can find any meaning in the decoded strings!

Has anyone tried the Baconian Cipher as per @Coin_Artist's latest hint on Twitter?

Nice work!
Chess figure laying is very likely a queen.
Other objects you haven't listed are ribbons on a key.

I got some ideas about the flames.
RGBY
0101
Red and yellow "outside", and green and blue "inside"
. I first started with the outside colors and then XOR'd the "upper" with the "lower" . I then did the same with the inside colors. Afterwards I XOR'd the XOR'd binary strings. Afterwards I divided the strings by 8.
On the short sides I got:
¦ - M p/x - ¦ (Actually ¦ - M ¦ - p/x, but ¦ - M p/x - ¦ felt more right for me)
On one of the longer side I got:
¢ × = p
Mp = multiplayer? Minecraft multiplayer as last time?
------------------------------------------------------
I haven't solved the last side for some reason. I think it's an IP, but the IPs seems to go to Asia. For me those IP sdid did not look as something they would have used.
The binary strings after XORing on the remaining side, was:
11011011 01xxx101 01000001 1100001
Converted to ASCII, that's:
Û (unknown) A a
converted to decimals:
219 (unknown) 65 97
xxx can be one of these eight combinations:
111
110
101
100
011
010
001

If I get what you mean, i think it should be on their official website. April 13, 2015, 06:40:35 AM

Sigh. I wake to this, hung over on a weekend... now I have NO choice but to spend every waking moment puzzling over this. Too intriguing.
The irregular white borders trouble me. If when stretched they create a QR code, that'd make me smile.
Yeah, that's a nope.
Anyone have super-strength coffee and aspirin please?

I'm just offering a random idea ... If the 9x7 chess board points to a year in chess history
then the big game would be between Botvinnik vs Petrosian 1963 in Moscow
22 match games were played between them.
here they are: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chess.pl?tid=54394

Is the prize of 4.87 btc itself is a key to solving this puzzle?
May be... That is for you to find out

Hmm i think more greek though,
"Gnostic gems with Abraxas also featured the seven rays"
also the only one word that OSpEZtA spells is Topazes
"Gnostic gems with Abraxas also featured the seven rays"

I don't think OSpEZtA is relevant to the puzzle. It's automatically generated by Imgur and can't be customized.

here's all i've come up with
FLAMEN = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flamen Roman Priests - perhaps links to that poem http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Phoenix_and_the_Turtle
6 ribbons
?
7 rays of light = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_rays The face of Taurus "gleams with seven rays of fire
greek keys in the corners
And if we want to get really complicated, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taikyoku_shogi
Ancient Japanese chess that has Phoenix's and Doves oh my!

The seven rays connection seems promising. In particular:
"In early Christian iconography, the dove of the Holy Ghost is often shown with an emanation of seven rays, as is the image of the Madonna, often in conjunction with a dove or doves.[1][21] The Monastery of St. Catherine on Mount Sinai, circa 565 CE, shows the Transfiguration of Christ in the apse mosaic, with "seven rays of light shining from the luminous body of Christ over the apostles Peter, James and John."[4] In the present day Byzantine-style St. Louis Cathedral in Missouri, the center of the sanctuary has an engraved circle with many symbols of the Holy Trinity. The inscription reads: "Radiating from this symbol are seven rays of light representing the seven gifts of the Holy Ghost.""
It fits with the themes of Christian mythology and the trinity. The dove could also be connected through this, as in "the dove of the Holy Ghost is often shown with an emanation of seven rays, as is the image of the Madonna, often in conjunction with a dove or doves".
