Title: [2019-04-16] Message From Space Leaves Clues to $1 Million Bitcoin Bounty
Post by: bomj on April 16, 2019, 09:33:44 PM
A Twitter user has received a mysterious message via the Blockstream satellite detailing a hunt for $1 million in Bitcoin. According to the correspondence, hunters must find 400 of 1,000 cryptographic keys to unlock the treasure.

Each of the first three keys has been hidden at four different GPS coordinates and is available to anyone who can get to the correct location. Clues to the rest will be published at a later date and will likely involve a deep knowledge of cryptography and computer science.

basically this is a treasure where the winner will have to spend a lot of time thinking and spending a lot of money to find the treasure.


Finally, the third of the initial set of keys to unlock the Bitcoin treasure will also be released on April 17 at midday local time. This time the key is spread across four continents. The locations are:

51.5082944, -0.2013407 (Notting Hill, London).
0.3474019, 32.6036514 (Kampala, Uganda).
-33.8881323, 151.1901988 (Camperdown NSW, Australia).
-34.596118, -58.373290 (Buenos Aires, Argentina)

This is Kampala, Uganda:
