Title: Second small puzzle about ECDSA and other computers topics
Post by: albert0bsd on August 20, 2023, 01:33:28 AM
A few weeks ago, I presented a puzzle within this forum and shared it on my Telegram channel as well. You can find the original post here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5459689). The previous puzzle garnered enthusiastic participants and winners. In the spirit of challenging exploration.

I'm glad to introduce another puzzle. While it has been unveiled on Telegram, the solution remains undisclosed. My intention is to reveal it here, sparking curiosity and engagement.
The puzzle consist in three signatures i hope some of you enjoy it, in this occasion there is not digital prize, but the learning process may be fun

Here is a new puzzle with two steps
1.- The Goal is to generate a valid signature with this same address.
2.- You need to find the double link to be invited into a private group.

Hints:

For step 1
- Check how my previous puzzle was create
- It is just math, all you need is algebra and a custom arithmetic
- Look for any hidden message to be able to access to Step 2

For step 2
- Information can be represented in a wide variety of formats
- Every composite number can be factorize in two or more prime numbers
- Each bit count
- Try to think outside the box or visualize the bigger picture.

Illuminati confirmed, secretly held private group in telegram!

I am busy at the moment ( honestly I have no knowledge about signatures ) so I might solve it later.😅

I guess that's why Satoshi never touched his first million bitcoins, it's a donation to everyone!
