EDIT: the symbols on the corners are Greek - Meandros....
They're also known as greek keys (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meander_%28art%29), and since the keys on the left and right corners are pointing in different directions, that might be significant.

I understand that these puzzles are very involved and can be an emotional rollercoaster, but I assure you that I have my priorities straight. I value honor and integrity. I am not making any alternate accounts to post on the thread. I have a pledge to the 1347 (1337) players who have completed the trail that I will not be posting any clues.

My team and I have put a lot of sweat into the development of these puzzles, and I fund them with the few bitcoins I have. I even pay my developers for their contributions. I do this because I believe in the work I do, I believe artists can do something revolutionary with bitcoin. I believe many of us can influence the world for the better.

To anyone who is interested in the puzzle: do your own research. There will be people who are disgruntled for one reason or another. However there are many players who would stand behind me when I say I am an honest person.  

Like the rest of us, I'm working for a better tomorrow. Why? Because I care.

Did you REALLY come out of your shell just to address me?

Seriously?

Talking about honesty, do you really think ANYONE with an IQ of more than 10 will actually believe you made a mistake on your last ARG?

Good luck with that, and good night to you.
I am going to bed.

I had enough of your sh*t.

Thanks

the flames on the borders could be binary. long flames representing 1, short flames representing 0. Where to start is the question. Or purple flames being 1/0 and green flames being 1/0. Could be a double message between these too, but again where to start? The outside border looks more chaotic then the inside border. The likelihood of there being a message contained with in the inside border is greater then the outside.

I don't think it is binary (at least not directly).

Flames come in four combinations of colors, as I can see it:
(inside color) - (outside color)
blue - yellow
blue - red
green - yellow
green - red

Also, they come in two lengths - short and long. That makes 3 bits per flame. It can be mapped to binary on 8! = 40320 ways.

One example mapping is:
bys 000
brs 001
gys 010
grs 011
byl 100
brl 101
gyl 110
grl 111

(where bys = blue-yellow-short, grl = green-red-long, etc..)

40320 combinations does not seem too hard to brute force, but how to check if output is correct? ASCII?

So here's where we are at. We think the flames on the borders are possibly some form of code. The length and two colors are thought to be a part of that code, giving it 3 bits, yielding eight combinations.

My previous attempts at turning the long and short into morse code/binary were unsuccessful. These attempts only took into consideration the inside color and the length of the flames, either short or long. Nothing of significance was found, though not all variations of ordering were exhausted.

Here's a excel sheet of the flames going clockwise from the top left that may help someone decode the message. At this point, I really don't knwo what to do with this data, maybe someone can help me make sense of this?

That being said, I will say this for one last time and I will be on my way....
YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME!!!

S4VV4S, why don't you fulfill your promise given so many times and finally "be on your way"? You won't convince anyone on your side of the story, and you are spoiling the pleasure for everyone trying to play with this riddle. You are just trolling on and on. Thanks.

I don't think I am spoiling anything for you "level 1"  Wink
You didn't have anything to begin with....

Also: check out how the OP responds to my statement here : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10953793

Then follow the real ending in the first bullshit ARG and you will find MANY similarities ......

The use of images and/or gifs instead of a proper answer being one .....

EDIT: Wheres my PONY this time?

so do you think it is only a joke? There isn't any ARG or enigma? It could be possible this time but I'm not sure.

OH NO!

There is a puzzle but you will get NO prize for cracking the riddle.

Follow this and draw your own conclusions: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10953793

EDIT: There's a reason she decided to move the new puzzle to another forum...
But guess what, I am not a member of the other forum so her bullshit ARG did not get crashed again (and yet).

Sorry everyone this person I'm responding to is trying to scare people away from the puzzle or is just being crazy.  He thinks I'm @Coin_Artist, which I'm not. I've actually contributed to working on this puzzle and I promise the prize is up for grabs and you can access it through the image she has posted. I have verified the answer myself in person.

Good luck all you "Gunters"

Cheers Smiley




Really?

So why were you responding with bullshit pics and gifs when I CLEARLY STATED THAT I HAVE CRUSHED YOUR PREVIOUS BULLSHIT ARG.
Here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10954099

If I am crazy you just ignore me.... right?
But wait.....
My crazy shit makes sense while your bullshit does not.....

you are doing the same mistake you did on your first bullshit ARG....
you are schooling them yet you have no intention of giving up the reward.

I'm new to this. What's your theory?

You seem to be implying that 9500 is the same person who created the contest.

What would be their motivation? How does the scam work? What's it in for them?

LOL!

The same that was for the "pony" girls in the previous contest, which was basically the same person as the OP but just trying to give everyone a push because they were stuck....

Motivation? Publicity....
She needs it badly, but she is getting bad publicity because she didn't put up.


PS: Don't even try it this time, I am using open internet connection  Wink

Nice!

So you used your (a little bit over two years) account to tell us that?
(Your very first post after 2+ years, nice!)

Apart from that you are doing the same mistake you did on your first bullshit ARG....
you are schooling them yet you have no intention of giving up the reward.

Apart from that, you DO NOT BRUTE FORCE, you just use your wits.
WTF happened to you?
No rules this time?

Ah, nevermind, good luck everyone trying to "crack" this one.....

Hi guys. I ran the final clue image through stegdetect and it seems to think there's a jphide message hidden in there. Haven't been able to stegbreak it though.
