Bitcoin Forum

Hello everyone,


I am excited to announce, I will be posting weekly videos with private key puzzles. I just launched the very first video today :-) ... The more subscribers I can get. The larger the prizes can be. So, be sure to subscribe and tell your friends. Let me know what you think!

Thank you and Good luck.


#bitcoinpuzzle ... Free money to the first person to solve it.


https://youtu.be/GLR-PNogyTw ... If you are like me. You will not click the link :-) but rather go to youtube and see what this is about. Search BitcoinPersonalities.

Don't know if this one is legit yet it do give out scrambled privatekey but it isn't bad to try out though for that balance.Good luck to us!

If I'm correct the qr code in the video is the address of the scrambled private key, right? If so, show us the proof that you have access to the address that has an amount with a signed message.

Its legit! Im hoping to help new users get accustomed to Bitcoin and a few of the ins and outs. The best way to do it is to offer BTC prizes :-)

Good luck

You could make public the bitcoin address of the scrambled private key, that way people will believe about this is a legit giveaway. Can you tell us how much bitcoin you will giveaway?

This is the scrambled private key M5BfrbCq7yfvVDT2xrpfmZ4KWTNpbXJgdYHzWG8t19yMbUvsP9vK and the possibility to find the right PK is 52! (factorial) = 8.0658175e+67, so, i will keep an eye on the video trying to get the right hints to solve this.

You are correct. The QR code is to the address attached to the private key scrambled in this puzzle. Youtube will not yet allow me to embed a link in my video ( or I would have made it easier for everyone and provided a link in the video )


Im not sure why anyone would waste their time pretending to make a puzzle to give away bitcoin? But. I understand the skepticism ... Just here for fun and education.


Here you go!

Later

I thought about doing that. BUT really wanted people to get the views up to check the balance. Like I said youtube will not yet allow me to embed a link in the video. I really wanted to make it easy. Once I get enough subscribers I can make it easier.

I will be doing puzzles weekly. For now the puzzles will remain around this prize. Now If all goes well and we get enough people participating. I will most certainly be sharing the wealth. The more the people the bigger the prizes. Id love to put on bigger prizes. BUT I dont wanna give away all my BTC before hand :-)

Thanks for checking out the puzzle. AND Good Luck!

Well, yeah, it's all for fun.

Please include the signed message, because we can't verify it if you only gave us signature.

Here's the address in the qr btw with 0.024+
1FJdDjwd8PsrLWgw5oJQZma43NeuzhmhY8

I did. Here you go!

Sign verified (http://brainwalletx.github.io/#verify?vrAddr=1FJdDjwd8PsrLWgw5oJQZma43NeuzhmhY8&vrMsg=Here%20you%20go!&vrSig=ILtaeGq0PZ3Y0evUlhMpEd%2BWtSQ25W1Z9s%2FjItsDPLFQayzwC7nS7CJYoPByclbvLYSsSx0ayyLCX%2BZiwgQdjJY%3D) and this confirms that you are not wasting anyone's time. Sorry that you had to go through this. Reality is that there are a lot of fake people around here who aim to waste the time of the forum users.

Good luck with the project bud.

Thanks now lets focus in the puzzle, 0.024btc are good motivation to find that privatekey, as hint we know the key start with 5, so we can take that number out of the line and permute the other characters, i think for a moment it could be done with some bruteforce but crunch say we need 8876PB for this, so, by brute force isn't an option:

The problem I have with puzzles like this is the ease with which this can be cheated. Let's take an example, someone creates a Puzzle like this and then they share the Private key with a friend (accomplice) and after a few hours or days the friend post the result and they claim the prize. The friend then gives the money back to the creator of the puzzle and they rinse and repeat the process. <with fake accounts>

What do they get out of this? Well, with a increase in the views and subscribers, the Youtube channel owner gets income and he could share that income with his friend. <partner in crime>  ::)

How do we validate that the winner is not a friend or family member? Well, it's basically impossible and that is the main problem I have with these puzzles.  :P

hold on a minute, the dude in the video explicitly says he is using compressed key for this one so it starts with K or L, since the scrammed thing doesn't have any L so it must start with a K. additionally the char count of it is 52 which is another indication of it being a compressed key ;)

by the way where are you guys getting the "scrambled" key from? i couldn't find it anywhere in the video.

if the thing to solve is real then there is still a chance for others to solve and claim it faster even if the creator has the key! you can't verify its solve-ability unless the prize is claimed and OP explains how the puzzle should have been solved.

Thank you! I completely understand though. No hard feelings. Its tough getting a start in the cryto world. Between noobs knowing nothing more than what they hear. AND old heads tired of all the games :-)

Good luck

What's wrong with it. I am not good with these kinds of puzzles that is why it is educating me since I can read the ways or solutions people that can crack the puzzle. If you are not interested, you can read other threads. Hope these wise men can crack the puzzle tho. Im rooting for you all, and hope you can update this thread regularly.

The scrambled key in the description

The only solution here is for you to get your ass crackin and let everyone know its real :-)


If I really wanted to "take the prize away" Im not sharing with a buddy ;-)


BUT the goal is to get more youtube subscribers ( thats why youtube exists IMO ) ... Like I said the bigger the channel, the bigger the prizes. I hope to educate myself and new users with the channel as well. Lots of people in my area still believe bitcoin is fake money. AND unfortunately there are a lot of bad actors in crypto. BUT they exist everywhere in life. They just choose to use real money now :-)


Good luck!

Solving puzzles isnt for everyone. It does take some thought and creativity. Thanks for your input :-)

Trading Bitcoin really isnt the point of Bitcoin, but who am I?

#bitcoinpuzzle still unsolved  :o ... I didnt think this scavenger hunt format would be this hard.

Maybe we need some more clues? Brute forcing it (all) is way too long.
You said that not the whole private key is scrambled, but that 33 is not enough of a clue...

However, I won't mind if the new clues will come only Monday  ;D

Thank you for creating this puzzle,
but I think that video is not clear in explaining to new crypto people how to solve the puzzle.
Some hints would be nice.

My imagination failed LOL

However I see you have put a lot of effort on those videos and giving good try to talk to the average joe. You have the tone and presentations skills (it seems). If you can educate at least one person and turn them to be a Bitcoiner then what more we could ask.

Good luck brother.

Yeah too hard to trust a newbie member but I think its worth to try just for fun and dont expect even if you win, if you get the reward its better.

Im gonna try this later  :)

My gut feeling is saying the guy really is trying to do this youTube business. If you have seen the videos then you will agree with me. He has put a lot of efforts and honestly speaking for newbies this kind of information will be very helpful.

So I vote for OP that it's legit.

Thanks for the vote :-) ... The puzzle is definitely winnable. I've tried talking to newbies direct. Brick wall ... So, Im trying a different approach. AND Im not a major tech head and I know most newbs now a days are not either. ( At least in my area ) ...  So, I didnt want to attempt something that has already been done ( puzzle wise for current coders ) ... I will have different puzzle formats, but the first vids might be boring to old timers here. They will be more directed to new users. Then hopefully better material for all.

The video comments have lots of good clues ( for those looking for clues ) ... Its pretty obvious, since its a compressed key, It starts with either L or K and there is no L in the key. That leads me saying ( "first" thing you need is a wallet )

Hope that helps anyone that may be stuck with the formatting.

That's actually the most confusing part. For anyone familiar with public/private key generation it's obvious that a compressed key has to start with K/L.
However, it has literally nothing to do with  "That leads me saying ( "first" thing you need is a wallet )". I mean there is no connection whatsoever. Even connecting it to the 2nd statement(about private key know-how) would make more sense.

One of the hardest parts of making a puzzle is to ensure that each clue doesn't have an infinite number of potential meanings.

If you read the other clues I given it not as hard as you are making it on yourself. NOT all the characters are scrambled. Key starts with K/L the 1st thing ... Theres the connection. Now your statement about the 2nd should appear a little brighter to you.

Im not sure what you mean by not having infinite number of meanings? If every clue was in your face obvious, the puzzle would be boring. AND for what?

The scrambled private key is in the description of the video:
This is exciting. It's a nice way to get people attracted to the topic and the channel by giving them puzzles. Since we know it's not a scam, it's a good game to play. I, however, am not very strong with puzzles, unfortunately. I am pretty sure I cannot solve this one, but I'll just leave everything that seemed potentially important here. Maybe it can help others ;D

• Cherry
• Green herbs (corn?)
• Something is reflected in the glasses in the green light
• Bitcoin.org
• Some white dot/a fly near the end of the video.
• And we know that not all of the characters are scrambled (from the comments under the video).

Good luck!

you forgot 33 in the cherry

Thanks for the shout out. Like I said, I hope to have better watching material after the first videos.

Clues are all around :-)

The idea about promote a youtube channel with bitcoin giveaways isn't bad at all, we love giveaways, sometimes i make some of them in the Spanish section. But i think for this one we don't have the right clues to solve it, we don-t even know what part of the privatekey is scrambled... if you could tell us the number of characters who aren't scrambled that would be a good hint.

But puzzles are this way, i will wait until OP gives more hints to try to solve it, with the actual information is impossible, other way someone should already found that privatekey.

Hey Im human, I make mistakes. I cleared up the editing error. The comment said nothing about a person with a sign with text ( embellish much) ... Ill get better as we go along. Just bear with me :-) ... The clues about which characters are scrambled are in the video.

If this video sucks in your opinion, feel free to offer some of that experience advise you got to help improve your chance of winning.

Thanks

It is a realistic possibility that people are coming up with new ideas to make money with all these puzzle and rigged prizes but we have to give him the possibility of doubt until it is proven and there is nothing you can do about it, you can make a decision whether to participate in his game or not and people with time might spend their time chasing a puzzle.

@OP hopefully the winner will be an old user from this forum rather than a newbie account claiming the prize.

Seen the video too, im probably way overthinking it also. But i so far Figured K is the beginning of the compressed Private key, just watching over and over again to see what im missing  ??? ???

Does the first clue start at the Cheeries?33
or start of video?

it may be one of the many bugs that participated in this video production like the one on the rear car window strolling for itself from left to middle enjoying the country side sun :D

that was a clue, scramble from left to middle  ;D

Hmmm I think OP is very legit in giving this riddle. And there have been many people who have done this, like in Paris there is a puzzle of a wall painting, who can solve that puzzle then he get some bitcoin. I think OP is quite innovative in creating content and introducing bitcoin to outside world.

Well, your answer does not really address the real issue here, because you are side stepping the problem. How do you guarantee that no friend or family member gets the solution and claims the prize?

A good sign that you are not trying to "scam" people are the time that it already took to solve this. A scammer would have allowed for a few days and then quickly instructed their "partner" to claim the prize, before a legitimate participant solved it. So that is a good indicator that this might be an exception to all the scams that are out there.  ;)

Let's see if someone genuine can solve this.  ;D

33 in a cherry is still the biggest mystery.
It can mean so many things

Nice puzzle with a decent prize.

I agree. I sure hope someone here wins the prize. Or at least not someone on my FB friends  :D

I’ll say this the 33 does not represent the number of scrambled characters

things 33 can mean:
- Characters should be shifted 33 positions to the right/left as a certain step of unscrambling
- has smth to do with the 33rd character in a scrambled PK
- smth has to be done to the key only before/after 33rd character
- Threes should be considered separately and can mean 3 characters at the beginning and end or 3rd characters at the beginning and end
- Has smth to do with the sum of numerical values of the letters?
- The 3rd character of the PK should be the 33rd character of the donation address at bitcoin.org=)
- 33rd character should be "C" for Cherry
- Tells us to look at the 33rd second of the video

And that's just of the top of my head

And they said MY cellium.....

LOL ... So I cant say mycelium?

Anyone know who/how to contact someone on youtube to make sure I do not make a copyright mistake again?

What a waste :-(

YouTube copyright infringement.......sorry I cannot help. I only work on 64 bit keyed puzzles or less:)

So now what you gonna do?

Your other videos had mycelium logos etc. Maybe they shut the whole thing down because of those?

The account is still up and going, for now anyways. Im under the impression this going to continue by this user. He wants easy BTC prizes. If he cant win, report the video. Whats to stop him from reporting after he wins in the future. Im here to promote a fun environment and this wanker wants to take and take.

Looks like all my accounts are reported by this user. Hes really mad he didnt solve the puzzle. He thought it was unsolvable and so he reported me :-) ... Guess Ill have to regroup and return using a different format for my videos. So, much for helping the new user figure out how to use a specific Bitcoin product.

Ill let you know when I return!

Later y'all

so i assume you took back the prize even though others have already spent many hours working on it.
that's a major strike against your credibility. a sub-par puzzle on your first outing could be forgiven.
if you're going to attempt another puzzle, please take a moment to check out previous successful puzzles.

Funs over for everyone. NOT my fault or strike IMO. Video down so is the prize. Hows that fair to new users if they cant view the puzzle to win?

Ill regroup and return :-)

SO it appears it is user henkster, here on BCT, that reported the puzzle.  He commented on this thread earlier. Syaing it was a sham and unsolvable and n\bla bla bla ... He just deleted the is comment. He's upset I have posted his email in this thread. Which I didnt intend to do, but I cant remove it now, Its been quoted. Its obviously a secondary account for someone here.

Anyways, thank this user for removing the puzzle.

The right thing to do would be to post the solution so that all people could see that it was legit.

im with O4karitO,
tell us about yours clues, that would have solved the scrambled PK,
im sure everybody that tried will remember seeing them,
then we can establish if you were legit or just after subs

I also agree with this. Would love to see what was I missing.

I feel sad because the quiz video has been taken down by a jealous user here. I hope that you will create new quiz videos soon because it will make the whole forum hotter. And there are so many people here with me who always support you because of the challenge you create for everyone to join.

I think he should be given time to figure out what to do. He spent a lot of time putting this together so I would vote to be patient.

I'll share my ideas on this puzzle for what it is worth.

1. The OP kept conflating the raw 32 byte hex code with the WIF compressed format. His instructional videos showed said that the 32 byte private key contained the numbers 0-9 ans A-Z case insensitive.
This is not the case for the raw format 0-9a-f or the WIF base58 format with missing letters and number O,0,I,l.
In any case, I thought he might be using a mnemonic from the BIP39 wordlist. Here are some of the words that I found in the order presented in the video,
Episode, puzzle, (bright or sunny---from sunglasses), (party or festival), cherry(bomb), advice( from 33), little, corn, field, old, country, boy, travel, security, common, sense.
I found several valid private keys from this list but not the correct one. Maybe you can find it.

2. The OP said that all the characters were not scrambled. With that info, I looked for a way to slice the scrambled characters into blocks of characters. My first given is that the unscrambled compressed WIF key will start with a 'K' followed by either 'x', 'y' or 'z'. I would slice the scrambled key to expose those letters so they could pair with the 'K'. The way I determined how to slice was using the same words I used in the mnemonic approach-- slicing by the length of the word. I found several ways to slice this up, but nothing that would give me a valid key.

Edit : I forgot to mention that one block would have 33 characters unchanged from the scrambled key

Do these approaches look promising? I am curious too how this was to be solved:)

AndThen

This copyright reporting stuff is getting stupid and silly!
And I also don't understand frustrated sick person who reported it...  ::)

You can also reupload video on some blockchain based platforms like LBRY, Bittubers, Dtube...
Don't give up because of one lowlife

Well i watched the video a couple of times already before it was taken down and i noticed this on his video and since OP said cherry and 33 has nothing to do about the puzzle i'll list the one i noticed:

1. His head was looking to right direction before he counts 1-3
2. When he was in number 2 i noticed that his right hand was moving right to left as he talking about sweeping the private key.
3. his eyes was looking down to the left as he say bitcoin.org.
4. His head was looking to the left direction before saying the fourth or last tip.
5. his clothes color change from sky blue to teal.

I don't know if the cornfield before he was on car was clue or not anyway, but i saw the comments section that someone also noticed the direction of his head in each cut and OP said he was right path so, i guess that the car part has some clues from it.

Too bad the video was down i hope OP can make more puzzles or repost the video so, that we can continue the puzzle or start another puzzle...

My thoughts were:
- First, second, third and last characters are the scrambled ones (may be also 33rd?)
- First one is K
- Second one is either x,y or z

it said Video is unavailable

But you're over thinking it, as op said.  This puzzle was geared towards "newbs"  ???   
i was on exact same thinking path as you. Which was "overthinking" it
So i guess someone not knowing anything about BTC woulda guessed it  ;D ;D per op

I’m not sure where the overthinking line is. The Op suggested going to bitcoin.org to learn about bitcoin.
He also showed how to create mnemonic seeds in his videos and how would you know what a compressed WIF is and that it must begin with a K or L. It’s not clear to me where to draw that line.

think of this as a positive experience. next time you create a video you have this experience so you make videos that are more resilient to take downs by Youtube team.
additionally since the puzzle is over you should now explain how to solve the puzzle here so that people could see the level of it and whether it was designed well or not or even if it was solvable.

KyMfrbCq7dfvVDT2xrpfmZ4KWTNpbXJg5YHzWG8t19yMBUvsP9vb

Throughout the video you heard and saw the scrambled characters. Quite a few people were on the right path. 1,2,3,10,33,45 and the last character.

The total scrambled characters for this puzzle was 8. Now before the wankers start to cry because it was like 40,320 different variations. It was also a little lesson in it. Our group conversation was the friend of the new user or anyone unfamiliar with compressed key formatting. Experienced user had a leg up on the first 2 characters.

The lesson here is, compressed keys currently start with K or L. Since this key did not have a L, we know it started with K. (now 7 scrambled characters) The following character would have to be an x, y or z (second lesson) and once you had the correct scrambled characters, process of elimination says its has to be y (an x or z was not scrambled) Now only 6 characters - 720 variations.

My issue is, user henkster has said he will be reporting my account to have it banned. Hes a true wankster. So, I guess I have to start from scratch. I will take this experience and grow from it. The unfortunate part is, new users will have no idea how to participate without instructional videos showing how to use bitcoin software. So, I guess Ill just be instructing them to find their own source on the internet. AND that was really the goal here. Showing new users Bitcoin isn't as hard as they heard it was. Yet, the lesson a few have commented to me is, I knew Bitcoin was a scam. Great job kid, great job :-)

To anyone who doesn't use or know how to use PGP, I recommend googling how to use it. Install it on your device. It is so handy for electronically securing everything text related.

Well, you know that not everybody is nice over the internet and a few trolls are just enough to spoil any fun.
You can let them win or you can go on. I'd prefer the second option since although I was (very) far from the result, it was still fun.
Just.. yeah, I'm not a newbie and I'm the example that not only newbies will try to grab the prize.

Well I hope you all are happy now.

Okay so a complete newbie should have been able to decode the clues in the video, unscramble the first 2 characters, and still have to GUESS the order of the remaining 6??? That's not a solvable puzzle, you're just retarded. 720 possible solutions do not count as a puzzle. I have so many questions now and don't even know where to start ...

Where is the 45 in the video?
How were we supposed to know the order of the remaining 6? Just try all 720 possibilities??

That, in my opinion, is absolutely not a puzzle, it's a guessing game and thank god that the puzzle was taken down because I would have wasted so much time, on a puzzle that is totally unsolvable. Even if you figure out the characters that need to be unscrambled, I still am left with 720 combinations to try. Dumb.

Oh shit i was that close goddamn it i knew it... i got the first 3 letters right i didn't knew the 33 in the cherry is a really a clue because you said it wasn't part of the clue so i disregard that part damn...

My first 3 letters was right KYM the obvious was k i got the y because was testing the random compress private keys from the bitaddress.org i noticed that the y was very frequent to appear than w x and z and also, i noticed too that in that i randomly generated private keys that letters is very frequent than numbers so i took out the 5. Anyway i wasn't finish yet on the puzzle but the video was taken down.

you were close to what? because you knew the PK started with a K and you knew that the next letter was a y?

How would anyone would have been close? Even if you figured out in the video he was telling us which position in the unscrambled key the characters that needed to be unscrambled were you still would have to scramble those characters (which have 720 possible combonations) lol.

Why are you scared to comment with your real account? Come on henkster dont cry like a little bitch because you couldnt write a code to help you ... lol  :D

Told you, with the information we had was impossible to solve the puzzle, i never saw the 10, 45, and the last character on the video, lol. But at least you show us it was real and fair.

Too bad that the video gets doomed, that sucks, next time upload the video to https://d.tube/ and you could earn some cryptos on the way while you promote btc.

Good luck and hope to see another giveaway like this soon.

If the only problem you had was with 720 permutations, them I demand you turn in your cryptoking---you can keep the zzzz.:)

If I was clever enough to get to that point it would only take 0.1ms to find the answer.

then you go on with your trading, do not mind this thread.
he is giving away bitcoin in exchange of solving the riddle isn't it fun? i think this is worth my time its kind of exciting.

?

anyhow, I just thought you mentioned there was no coding knowledge necessary.

and you absolutely NEVER mentioned 45, or the last character anywhere in your puzzle.

@BitcoinPersonalities

Like I told you earlier, next time upload video on youtube
and also on decentralized alternatives (LBRY, Bittubers, Dtube...)
and all henkpricksters can do nothing...

And don't change bitcointalk account

Will do!

Thank you

For what it's worth: I appreciate what you're trying to do, and I really like Bitcoin puzzles. I found it too late though, so I hope you can sort it out with Youtube.

It might have been this comment. Not sure how many comments henkster made. Thanks for sharing this one :-)

The puzzle is more than likely lost to youtube for "copyright infringements" henkster claimed to be mycelium. AND I had a shot of my mycelium wallet open. Oh well. Im working on new stuff now. Thanks for the interest.

Could you please explain where does 45 come from?
You say 1,2,3,last. 10 is y. 33 is in cherry.
The fact is that I wrote a python script that was going through all possible permutations changing 1,2,3, the last character and x, both ys and z, which resulted in nothing, since the only one I was missing was 45s character "b"

It was a mistake to use Youtube to promote the video. The idea behind it was awesome, it takes you a hard effort to do it and is terrible to see how good thing gets fucked up by trolls.

I only hope you move on and make more giveaways of this style. Don't let the bad taste takes you down. The intention is good and the quality of the project is good, so, you should move on.

youtube is the most popular video site and if going to advertise a thing id probably post one here  . many advertisers are also looking for youtubers to make a content and post it there .   you shouldnt worry about copyrights or other issues as long your vids are originaly made and as long as you follow thier rules   .  this wasnt the first time i see a thread like this   . this were threads simillar to this before on this forum but i think those puzzles are not solve yet   . better if they dont make a really hard one just like what the others did on the past .

Now the video shows unavailable i=on YouTube. Is the video deleted?

Yes it is deleted.

I had this feeling the OP was legit and it seems he indeed was. Sorry OP that you had to gone through all these criticism and stuffs. It's not your fault nor ours too. This community lately turned out to be a heaven for scammers and benefit seekers, we are constantly fighting against them though. They are also jealous of others' who are trying to contribute to the forum.

I hope you will use this experience and come up with better guard and entertain the community with sharing your wisdom.

Again,

A bit confused on how we were supposed to unscramble the key.

Did the 1,2,3,10,33,45.. refer to the count on your fingers in the video? If that was the case, how did the shift work from there?

Thank you.

over 100BTC left to crack

try that  

It's a big difference between fun puzzles, with clues, like this one, and the math/cryptography puzzles like that one.
That one has no clues, need good background (definitely not for newbies) and most probably good machines (GPUs?) to crunch the data.

yeah sorry about mentioning puzzle,  its all about serious cracking on that topic

The 100BTC give away is cra cra ... No way a noob would feel apart of that. Plus I hope to provide informative information to them and us. I am hoping the original video will be reinstated in a week or so. NOT that it matters for the puzzle. BUT once all that is cleared up. I will be resuming the videos :-) ... I will be providing a link to this thread for people to view any discussion on the videos. As well as links to my twitter account. I will provide clues via twitter and BCT.

Thanks for the vote of confidence everyone. Till later
