This is the OFFICIAL CONTEST Thread for CoolStorage.org's
#001 Canvas Crypto Puzzle Contest - "The Times Traveler"  :D

The World's first LOADED Conceptual Art Canvas

A hoard of loaded canvases with a design based on a sci-fi concept that alters the iconic
January 3rd, 2009 THE TIMES front page layout. Disguised as a conceptual art project, the
Limited Edition pieces of The Times Traveler contain an intricate crypto puzzle which has
been carefully embedded into their design. Whomever is skilled enough to find the secrets
and successfully unlocks the key, claims all of the BTC locked away in the canvases! The
winner earns the BTC and bragging rights, and every contestant own's a 100+ year
fade resistant conceptual art canvas with a very unique history attached.

In actuality, each Limited Edition piece is in fact a "one off" that has been printed from it's
own unique source. You only need one Limited Edition piece to unlock the key of The Times
Traveler, however, having a prototype or proof may help! The best part about our crypto
puzzle contest is that you do not need to destroy any of the pieces to unlock the secrets of
The Times Traveler, it is hidden in plain sight!

Who will discover the secrets and unlock the key to The Times Traveler?  Only TIME will tell!  :o


CONTEST RULES:
No up close images of the canvas posted on the internet.
This could compromise the integrity of the contest.

If one of the contest pieces is re-sold it must be made known in this thread
by the seller confirming the new owner to be added as a replacement contestant.

CONSULTATION:
If you think you've discovered a secret but want confirmation, please use
the CoolStorage.org EMSG App (https://emsg.coolstorage.org). :D  PM your EMSG link
to consult with me, and I will confirm and/or deny what you've found.

ONE CLUE:
There will be one CLUE posted here in the form of a riddle.  :D

THREE WISHES:
The contestants shall have a total of THREE WISHES to use at any time during the competition.
Contestants should discuss any ideas for wish requests to agree upon in this thread.
Once a WISH is discussed it can then be VOTED on by contestants.
There will be a (1) week voting period for contestants to submit their vote here,
otherwise the vote is fore-fitted and we tally the total votes submitted by contestants.
Certain wishes will not be allowed, like a wish for more wishes, for example.

WISH EXAMPLES:
I had intended on keeping the public address of the canvases a secret, and
allow whomever solves the puzzle to reveal the grand prize, however,
if the contestants were to vote on a wish revealing that and the vote
passed, the public address of the canvases would be posted in thread.

Perhaps you are all stumped and need an additional CLUE, make a WISH.  ;D

Maybe you all VOTE to ask a technical question about the puzzle?
How many secrets in total? Are there areas of the canvas we should ignore?

Maybe you decide to VOTE for help from all collectible community members ;D
This could mean the contest winner ends up not be an original contestant,
but if it is your WISH and the VOTE passes, it is done.

Hey guys :D I hope everyone's doing well! As you may have guessed, I've had to step away for a bit to deal with some IRL responsibilities.
