For 0.01 BTC?

Not worth the effort.

This is a bit too challenging for me, but it should not be too difficult for those who can program

No one want to waste a time on this perhaps :)

0.001 BTC is not a lot :) But I would say I undertand that it might be worth some time - but is less than a dollar :) how much time is worth? :)

Anyway did you solve it right already?

Regards and good luck

If I've got the pattern right:

  • In most cases a W represents 2 black pixels arranged vertically.
  • In most cases a ; represents 2 pixels arranged vertically where the top is white and bottom is black.
  • In most cases a ` represents 2 pixels arranged vertically where the top is black and bottom is white.
  • In most cases a blank space represents w white pixels arranged vertically.

Following those rules, I get what looks like a QR Code.  The positioning, alignment, and timing information is all properly represented. Additionally:

  • It appears to be a Version 3 (29x29) QR Code.
  • It seems to be using Level L (Low) error correction.
  • It appears to be using the (col%3=0) mask pattern.

I have not yet figured out what the bold R is meant to indicate.

As such, the resulting QR Code doesn't scan.

What I have so far looks like this:

            columns.append(pair)

        column = []

Not in 2009, not in 2014.
But what about 2020? ;)

Congrats to whoever decoded this. It was fun to try, I'd like to see more of this :D

0.001BTC is not even 1 cheap beer in my situation but quizzes like that are more interesting than 0.001BTC

2014 = 0.001BTC -> 1 cheap beer
2016 = 0.001BTC -> 30 cheap beers

Yeees well :) but I will not hodl till 2016 :P I am not too good at hodling I am much better at spending :D
Anyway this was very nice quiz and price doesn't really matter.

And I love the way it was solved as I love Python.
