Yeah, there's also flames in the new image and the new award address is guess what??? 1FLAME

Apart from that there's actual black tiles (instead of blue) that nobody seems to have noticed (or noticed but ain't telling until they figure out what it means).

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


EDIT: the symbols on the corners are Greek - Meandros....

yeah there's a decent connection with Harry Potter.

Ah, I got em mixed up. It's still a little weird that the painting has that many themes in common with the series.

It was the first book with the chess and the vines.

Maybe just a coincidence, but it's strange how the image has so many themes in common with the second book of the harry potter series.

The painting is a chamber of secrets. The secret is the private key we are seeking.

 - Ron, Harry, and Hermione play a game of chess.
 - They are ensnared in a vine called the "devil's snare"
 - Dumbledore's phoenix punctures the eyes of the basilisk
 - Gryffindor corresponds to the element of Fire (http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Hogwarts_Houses)

Is this page interesting?  http://www.eglebbk.dds.nl/program/chess-index.html

Hmm, I'm a new member so I don't know anything about what's been found so far. 

7x9 chess board looks real important. 

Quick google search brings us to this wiki website, and we end up at a chess variant called yari Shogi.

More info on Yari Shogi can be found on this wiki page.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yari_shogi

But if you check this wiki, this page was only added on March 10 2015.  If you check the main page it used to be empty and just recently got all this chess stuff added.

17 leaves
4 square swirly thingies in the corner

63 tiles
32 white tiles
31 black tiles
1 burning/melting toppled white queen
1 purple knight
1 white morning dove
1 phoenix
1 lantern/key thingy (what is this thing???) with 6 red ribbons, three short, three long. SLLSLS and 7 beams of light

Someone mentioned this on reddit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird%27s_Opening

Maybe related? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Phoenix_and_the_Turtle
oh, somebody also mentioned that in the twitter thread.

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.


Starting in the left top corner on the inside border you get the following going clockwise:

(TOP) 0110110110 LEAF 100010110110110011

(RIGHT SIDE) 110111110110110111110010

(BOTTOM) 100011100010110111110111110111110

(LEFT SIDE) 011100 LEAFTAILLEAF 1101 LEAF 101

All together it looks like: 0110110110 LEAF 1000101101101100111101111101101101111100101000111000101101111101111101111100111 00 LEAFTAILLEAF 1101 LEAF 101

Without the leaves: 0110110110100010110110110011110111110110110111110010100011100010110111110111110 1111100111001101101


Going Counterclockwise starting from the top right corner you get:

(TOP) 110011011011010001 LEAF 0110110110

(LEFT SIDE) 101 LEAF 1011 LEAFTAILLEAF 001110

and also :

Assuming these numbers represent letters you get the following when you divide the two clockwise/counterclockwise sequences into sections of 8. 2 numbers are left over, shit, so many straws to grab.
clockwise:
01101101 = M
10100010 = ? NA
11011011 = ? NA
00111101 = ? NA
11110110 = ? NA
11011111 = ? NA
00101000 = ? NA
11100010 = ? NA
11011111 = ? NA
01111101 = ? NA
11110011 = ? NA
10011011 = ? NA
01 = ? NA
counterclockwise:
11001101 = ? NA
10110100 = ? NA
01011011 = ? NA
01101011 = k
01100111 = g
00111110 = ? NA
11111011 = ? NA
11101101 = ? NA
00011100 = ? NA
01010011 = S
11101101 = ? NA
10111110 = ? NA
11 = ? NA
CONCLUSION: TLDR: these aren't letters or the sequencing is wrong

Very cool new puzzle .

Already analysed the image, verified hashes, made keys out of it, put it through an hex edit program... Nothing so far.

Well the final step of the puzzle is here, via @coin_artist's twitter account... Goodluck everyone! This one looks tough!

Apparently everything you need to win the ~5BTC prize is contained within this image. #FML

I believe the idea was never to force the players to use the LTB forum as the means for sharing information about the puzzle, but instead control the flow of information to the players.  These advanced features like Token Controlled Access are not available on any other forum unfortunately.  It allowed players who were dedicated to solving the puzzle a step up on people just sitting and waiting for the final step to become available to the public.  Where the players congregated and discussed is up to the players themselves.  It's unfortunate that so many players were put off by this... lesson learned.

I had no idea that we are level-graded. Can you please point me where can I find more info about that level system?



There's no competition between forums, this forum is superior in every way to amateurish LTB one. You can not even format text there to monospaced font, we had real trouble presenting basic stuff there in readable manner. Not to mention more advanced forum features that are available here bit nowhere to be found on LTB. The only reason people even used that forum is because it was forced upon us buy ARG creator, and that was big mistake because LTB was so unusable it in essence killed the puzzle.

What is done is done, no point in whining about that decision, but it would be nice if someone told us about ""level" system, because if I knew I'm on a lower level then other's and that I could still participate in the puzzle maybe I would gladly do it, this way I was thinking it was over some time ago.

OMG, I just checked your posts girl...

You ARE COMPLETELY SAD......

I am sorry I DID NOT take part in your bullshit game this time, but last time you did NOT want to let go of the reward....

PS: stop posting bullshit pics....
You got something to say, say it b*tch...
