Hello Everyone welcome to the ideopass treasure hunt !

Ideo treasure hunt round 12

You have to guess where we've hidden our treasure chest. The place name is the key to unlock bitcoin private key.


for example :

- london  
- shinjuku  (A place in Tokyo)
- eiffel tower
 
Or an imaginary place on a book, a movie or game

- hogwarts (the school in harry potter)
- ewok village (in star wars)
...

All in lower case with space between the words when needed



The new chest lock is number 12

First hint : "A hint was already given"





Player on the leaderboard that reached the level 2 or more

Players on level 3 can ask 2 questions privately.

Ask me to follow you on this topic.

That's all good luck for this hunt


How to play


The easiest way is to download a wallet on iOS or android
I recommend breadwallet on ios and myceillium on android.
Then select wipe private key and enter your guess

If you are on computer you can use any webwallet that opens bip38 encrypted private keys.
Such as
https://greenaddress.it/

1. Register to create a wallet
2. Enter the private key to Private key in WIF or BIP38 format field
3. Enter your guess as the password

I'll add 2000 bits to the wallet for each retweet, made by a real twitter user, before I give hint #2 https://twitter.com/ideopass/status/521767386111025153 (https://twitter.com/ideopass/status/521767386111025153)

This a BIP38 encrypted private key with 0.0313 BTC about 15 USD at this time

Hint 1 : the password is not to hard to guess

 it's somehow related with this topic
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=586615.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=586615.0)

Get more hints on twitter (https://twitter.com/ideopass)

pass: ideopass
decrypted fine with Mycelium

thanks :)

that was fast  :D

Yeah pretty fast :)

Le met prepare a new challenge !

Well gee, that didn't take long at all. Only about and hour, and took 1 person.


Can you give more info about this, like links or how to use this software?

Cool. Hopefully it's a little bit harder. I want that btc.

It would have been faster had I not guessed wrong twice. I also figured out that the decryption takes a while (~30 seconds) on old phones and stops when the screen is black ;)


Its an app for android that can handle BIP38 encrypted "paper wallets"

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=293472.0

--------------------------------------------------

I just returned a little, be quick ;)

https://blockchain.info/de/tx/c713907d4be62c41373bd6c0fa328aa4e0212c35ae8ccccc781fa2ad3a60d65e

No! I can't scan the code!! I'm on my ipad!! I guess it's someone else's.

Actually never mind. I took a photo of the code on my iPod and scanned it with my ipad and put in the password.

Meh, sorry.

Someone took it[1] but left change of 0.0009. :P


[1] https://blockchain.info/de/tx/04b10c991ed6cd6f8c6bb387b785b4f72a27f437c7f94c17e034dc404f0abdb9



Ah, so the above is yours?

Yeah. And I took the change back. :) accidentally panicked and forgot to take the 0.0009. Then I sent it to the wrong wallet and had to send it again, reducing it to 0.0007. Oh well, thanks for sending some back.

Dammit, I'm late  :D

But not too late for apparently another challenge.
---------------------------
The only thing that's late is the time and I need sleep so good night. :)

Oh that was way to fast!
Please make it bit harder next time!

Lol it was there waiting to be taken for 1 whole hour.

How did you figured that the pass was ideopass?

1st try Ideopass
2nd try ideo pass
3rd try ideopass - which, honestly, should have been the first guess.


Yeah I was just lucky I checked the thread while I had my morning coffee.

Haha, pretty cool idea OP.

Will follow this thread and see how hard the next challenge will be. :)

Nice idea but make it harder the next time, here it's full of hackers wannabe :D

As always I'm too late, the password was really easy, next will be mine!

More more more!  :D

When will start the new round?
Maybe this topic should be moved to the "games and rounds" sub forum.

Hi everyone,

The next round starts now !

This time it will be harder. It will take several hints to find out (I hope so)

I'm hiding my treasure chest in a place. The password is the name of this place
In can be a place in the real world

for example :

- london  
- shinjuku  A place in Tokyo
- eiffel tower
 
Or an imaginary place on a book, a movie or game

- hogwarts (the school in harry potter)
- ewok village (in star wars)
...

All in lower case with space between the words when needed


Thats for the rules :

The new chest lock is

https://i.imgur.com/lTuitms.png

My first hint is : Walk

I'm curious why Australia ?

By the way you don't need to specify the place
if it's for example "paris" then not "paris france"
if it's "hogwarts" then not "hogwarts harry potter"

any hints ?^)

New hint : Ashes

Get also twitter hints

hints on twitter (https://twitter.com/ideopass)

quite a difficult task ...

Can you explain how we get it to the point where we can enter a password? Like what wallet are you using, what do we do?

You need any app that can wipe a BIP38 wallet (password protected wallet)

On ios you can use bread wallet
On android you can use mycelium

Okay I just QR scanned that code, and then manually typed it into my blockchain wallet, in the "import private keys" thing.

I'm pretty stumped on this though, more hints!

This is so hard, been brainstorming for an hour now :p

Cool idea. Tough to find the pass lol.

Does this have anything to do with Robin Williams?

Did you purposely put two spaces in between shinjuku and A?

Third hint btw is: Spider

Hint 3 : it's a dangerous place

I tried "middle earth"  and "middle-earth" (inspired from the lord of the rings) without any luck...
edit---- It looks like someone got it...

edit 2--- Oh crap I tried middle east 10 minutes ago!!!
ahhh kingcolex you got lucky!!!

Damn, I shouldn't have put off watching lord of the rings. :(



I just realised my personal text is very suitable for this forum. :)
<---

Nice !

kingcolex is it you ?

I'll prepare a new hunt tomorrow !

Next treasure chest has been buried !

Hint : here (https://twitter.com/ideopass/status/502827047719559168)

How much BTC did you sent to your address?

All of it  - 0.03 btc

Nice work userrandom. I was trying yellow ribbon awareness causes I.e suicide awareness etc.

This sounds fun, as soon as i get home, im gonna join :)

3000 mbtc is a bit misleading just opened the address and it 30 mbtc?

Yes of course you can continue ! And if you reach the level 10. After 10 Chest found you will be eligible to the special high level hunt.v

You right ! little mistake here

Next round start !

hint 1 : here (https://twitter.com/ideopass/status/503231573438001152)

I want to win :L trying like everything I can think of and no luck.

I'm going to win this one...
...I hope.

---Places I've tried---
Clue 1: blue
Well he didn't hide it in the sky
Or the sea or underwater
Or in a blue screen of death

Clue 2: I've been there already
The Matrix
Down the rabbit hole        - and other variations
Twitter

I was thinking of the TARDIS, nope :(

It might have something to do with that although I haven't really watched much doctor who.

I haven't watched a second of Doctor Who either :/ On another note, I don't even watch TV :D

How do i enter my guesses? I mean where is the wallet?

If you get the blockchain.info wallet on ios (and maybe android) you can scan the code and then when it asks for the password you put in your guess. If you get it right you can send the btc to your other wallet.

I'm gonna try and win this. Waiting on the 2nd hint!

I have just a PC. So i cant particiapte?

I've scanned the qr barcode, post the result on the idetifier field here: https://blockchain.info/wallet/login (https://blockchain.info/wallet/login),
but it says:

So, what am I doing wrong?

Your link is where you log in to a wallet. This is not what you need to do.
You need to be in a wallet already and then scan to import the encrypted private key (if the wallet you are in has that ability).
Try mycelium wallet.

Good luck.

Hint update:
#1: blue
#2: I've been there already
#3: and white

I just have a windows pc.
I sanned the code to get this thing (online from pc)

" 6PRN2XsmA55uRNBGGvd8VGt9UmoB1YmygTBqFWaEesiTRxKst2LbPr9NHD "

Is it possible for me to participate without an internet enabled smartphone?

Yes !


If you are on computer you can use any webwallet that opens bip38 encrypted private keys.
Such as
https://greenaddress.it/ (https://greenaddress.it/)

1. Register to create a wallet
2. Enter "6PRN2XsmA55uRNBGGvd8VGt9UmoB1YmygTBqFWaEesiTRxKst2LbPr9NHD" to Private key in WIF or BIP38 format field
3. Enter your guess as the password

Thanks. i can make the guesses now :D

Update

It is now:
Blue
I've been there already
and white
sea

more hints plzz ???

Next hint : Kappa

kappa is a japanese word. It means a river boy. Is it related to any place of japan?

I think you should carefully look at the hints

This is a nice hunt yodark. Well done! Going to keep an eye on this and participate later. ;D

Moar hints! I think I'm on to something, I just need another hint to make sure :P

Kappa is given as hint #6   typo?? or hidden hint?

Any more hint ?

not yet

Update
#1 blue
#2 I've been there already
#3 and white
#4 sea
#6 Kappa
#7 Ion

I was thinking maybe its in an ocean and ions are in salt water so I thought it would be the Dead Sea. But unfortunately it didn't decrypt.

Edit: maybe someone should try this: https://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110703234645AAzvg6I

I tried everything with no success.
so I'll share with you my thoughts:

I think it has something to do with greece or ancient greece.

blue and white are the colors of greece's flag,
greece has a lot of islands and coasts, so it's related to sea,
kappa is a greek letter,
and Ion is from the greek mythology.

if anything of that helps you please share it back
and if it helped you solve the pass phrase feel free to tip me:
122LJenypFR1XTsuQjrycds8nyuXdkLwGa
 ;)

Got it! Kefalonia! An Ionian Island in Greece!

Wow! so I was really close...
did my shared thoughts help you?

Sorry dude, been working on this since the moment it was posted! Have email updates for this thread, twitter notifications and everything. I figured the Greece stuff out yesterday and then once he gave ion I knew it was something in the Ionian sea, figured it started with K. it's actually still reallllly early in the morning here, just woke up for a smoke and saw the last hint and knew I could get it ;p

I also was looking around greece

i was offline when u hinted about greece

Anyway Congrats

You guys need to get email and twitter notifications if you want to win. I'm sure as these puzzles go on they will get more and more popular and so prizes will go quicker.

I was looking into Japanese sea monsters, lol. Guess I was doing something very wrong, hahaha.

me too. But I did try Greece...   ...and all of the countries with blue and white in their flag.

Nice !
Be ready for the next one tomorrow !

Oh I am ready, I will win all hunts!

No, I will win. I really want to win one so I can get into the bonus round thing for all of the winners.

He told "i've been there". So it can only be a place. Otherwise he will be yodark reborn.

I first tried around Japan and then got to Greece. Too late thou...

Well, I must have missed that clue, Dangit. Oh well, let's hope that I have more luck next time ;D

I was looking at all of the seas around japan.

Imagine if someone actually guessed Kefalonia from "Blue"

Lol, im still in shock that someone guessed Springfield from yellow.

I tried so many greek sea names, but the map I was using had it as double 'l' - kefallonia :(

Google search now shows one l as most common spelling though - who'd a known.

Bring on the next one OP :)

Hello Everyone welcome to the ideopass treasure hunt !

Special hunt !

For the 5th treasure hunt it's a special hunt

To find where I've hidden the treasure you need to ask a question that I'll answer with a yes/no or "I don't know"

I will answer question on this topic and also and mainly on twitter.
The question should take this format
Twitter ideopass (https://twitter.com/ideopass)

The game master (me) choses if we wants to answer a question or not.
Don't flood with questions a user can ask only one question on the forum and one on twitter until he gets an answer.
If the game master favorite a tweet without replying to it this mean you can ask an new question.

Special power

Player on the leaderboard that reached the level 2



have a special power they can ask one and only one question on twitter with private DM
Ask me to follow you on this topic.

That's all good luck for this hunt

Is it a real place on Earth?

Somewhat No

Is it a place from a book?

I was going to ask that...lol

Hmmm. Is it a place from a movie?

Somewhat yes

Somewhat yes

Is it related to Harry Potter?

No

I am asking this q for everyone's benefit

Is it in the list? :   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fantasy_worlds   ;D

Can you reach this destination via ground travel?

No

DAMN SOMEONE GOT IT, I JUST GOT IT TOO!!!!!! AND THE WALLET WAS EMPTYYYYYY what a surprise :p that's lame. i need to always check to see if someone won before guessing...

They literally must of entered it seconds before me.

*enters password*

"Checking wallet balance..." Me: "OMG I GOT IT"

"this wallet is empty"

Me: "D:"

i won the prize :) the pass was simple

You literally got it by about 20 seconds.

Well I checked and it was still there, but I was too slow when redeeming.... bah

Anyway, congrats to the winner.

So mad at myself, when I first read the post, atlantis was the first thing that popped into my mind, but I didn't put it, idk why.

I was thinking about atlantis since the previous game xD

Dude same here lmao. I tried it like four times last round.

GOD!! I AM SO STUPID!!

I was trying the password on the CHEST 3 !!  

See page 4 of the thread
I just copy pasted that code and started entering answers!!

I had already tried neverland, middle-earth, middle earth and the next thing i tried was atlantis!
then i found the webpage and tried in all famous ones (incl. atlantis) and failed
that is when i asked my question. is it in the list?

Even when u posted the answer, i wondered. i kept typing atlantis and got invalid password (in greenwallet.it)
Then i figured out and almost fainted!

THAT WAS FOR QUESTION 3? FUCK I did that tooo! That's unfair really, I'm so pissed I was thinking and trying for like 4 hours, I needed this :(

Just to clarify, round 5 is over and we are waiting for round 6 to start, right? I thought round 5 is over, it's not very clear. He shows 4 people on level 2.

Round 5 is indeed over. And those 4 users are on level 2, because they finished rounds. Their level has nothing to do with the game levels.

Congrat for the previous winners !!

Sorry Jaaawsh it was close !

I gladly open the next hunt !

Got it in 4 tries!  ;D

Pentagon - fail
pentagon - fail
Jupiter - fail
jupiter - win

Thanks

I wonder how do you do that guys  :o

I tought to make something not so simple

Gone super quick. I saw that "five" was the hint, what was the answer?

Check a few posts above :P

After thinking in a couple of possibilities, I guess it's pure luck on picking what to try next...

u didnt update the heading. i didnt know this was going on

Op, when will #7 be started? Lately all of the addresses are being found very quickly.
Can you make the next answer easy to know (a common place that almost everyone knows about) but hard to guess? Something like the last one but a more vague hint.

Are we going to have another round or not?
I hope so, I really want to win.

Hey sorry for keeping you waiting

Ok this one is very hard !

First hint : ruin

I think Its time for another hint... Cant guess with only one.

I agree, it's so hard.

Why aren't you updating the heading??

New hint here : https://twitter.com/ideopass/status/507788457260122113 (https://twitter.com/ideopass/status/507788457260122113)

You realize there's no actual link in your post? Nor is there any in the OP.

What you mean link ? You mean the URL to the public key in blockchain ?

guess no one got the answer  ???  I think another hint might help !!!
Please make it an  easy one..!! ;D

He's always announced new puzzles by replying, before even updating the op so idk why you guys are complaining.

New hint : chest !

2nd hint was: You probably never been there. If you did I'm not sure you remember
3rd hint was: Chest

both on twitter, not here.

Your password is really tough. i think chest is the chest as in stomach and not a box.
maybe hint#2 refers to something related to a baby??
Not sure

Then what does ruin has to do with it ??  ???

i dont know. just a wild guess.

Started a contest. is there any adjustments to be made here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=771093.0 ?

you got us in this one . . . . . more hints....

Yes this one is hardy hard ! I wonder if I didn't went too far  ;D
Anbyway new hint is : Desert

did you stop the contest ?

I'm stumped on this one too, the only thing I can offer is that by the powers of deduction the second clue probably makes this a fictional place,

Because what would cause you to forget? Magic, head trauma, illnesses, but what would cause everyone to go there to forget about it? Well IMO the only thing that could do that would be something fictional.


The only other thing that would cause everyone to not remember is somewhere that we all were as babies?

Guess who's level three Biatches!

That's right!!! Jaaawsh! It wasn't that hard, it was a top search in bing, I was just starting to consider it was a video game, and saw final fantasy kept coming up when I would search for the hints. So I tried this, because it was a place, and it kept showing up all over the search :3

Bikanel

yeah i did.
Will restart it later.

i think no one participated bcoz it was not free. But it was real simple.

Yeah. I believe he wanted do have 10+ rounds. I think he said the winners from the previous rounds are the only ones who can play the 11th round or something.

Hey sorry ! I was busy in Japan ! I didn't forgot you ! I'll start the new round soon !

Oh yeah I think I remember you mentioning that,

Well I'm really looking forward to another round :)

Me too! Can't wait.

This is it !
The new treasure hunt !!
A not to difficult !

First hint : old

Hint 2 : Cannons
Hint 3 : Muse

Hey who is playing the game ?  :)

i dont know

but how to play in your game :D

i'm in  ;)

but nothing by now  :-\

Next hint : Me

Did a whois on ideopass.com and once I saw "rue de la Muse" I knew that was the right track. "geneva" was the answer.

I think that decryption of these wallets can't get much faster, because the point of taking so long to decrypt is to make brute-forcing less useful.

I never actually scanned the wallet this time, but it was just because I didn't even have any good guesses. I still don't really understand Geneva but gratz on winning haha.

Exactly. There's still a few unclaimed wallets from older bip38 challenges:

• http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1zkcya/lets_see_how_long_it_takes_to_crack_a_4_digit
• https://bip38wallets.com/

And the warpwallet challenge, which is similarly hard to brute-force: https://keybase.io/warp/warp .

Waw congrats !


Yes BIP38 uses a Scrypt algorithm to prevent wallet brute force. It takes time depending on your device to make a guess






The easiest way is to download a wallet on iOS or android
I recommend breadwallet on ios and myceillium on android.
Then select wipe private key and enter your guess

If you are on computer you can use any webwallet that opens bip38 encrypted private keys.
Such as
https://greenaddress.it/

1. Register to create a wallet
2. Enter the private key to Private key in WIF or BIP38 format field
3. Enter your guess as the password

Finally installed Mycelium now when's the next wallet?

waiting for next wallet  ;D ;D

Waiting for the next one to come already.....

Very soon !

I'm excited and waiting too! Let me know.

Here is the new one !

I'll add 2000 bits to the wallet for each retweet, made by a real twitter user, before I give hint #2 https://twitter.com/ideopass/status/521767386111025153 (https://twitter.com/ideopass/status/521767386111025153)

This one is hard  :D
It will require all your investigation talent

hint 2 : Castle

Thanks for the two retweets 4000 bits added

hint 3 : Darkness

this RT still available ?

if yes i want to RT

waiting for the next hint :D

got it. do i get on the leaderboard now?  :D

How did you end up with the answer? I'm baffled.

I googled the hints + the company names associated with yodark.

what next hint 4??

The answer has already been found.

So what was the answer?

Yes nice shot !

It comes from the game Moonga http://www.moonga.com (http://www.moonga.com) (my game) so everyone should know it !!!!

And also in our new incoming game that uses bitcoin as the core of the gameplay and where every game asset is decentralised in the blockchain

@ideopass #ideohunt is the chest hidden on this planet ?

@ideopass #ideohunt is the place related to the company you are working for?

No
No


And no

@ideopass #ideohunt is it a place from a book?

@ideopass #ideohunt is the chest hidden in a city?

Yoink! Didn't even need to ask a question.

Edit: now that the transaction has confirmed, the location was a planet in the Star Gate universe.

Hum Im curious how did you find the answers based on the hints ?

Your previous answers stated it wasn't a real place and not on earth. Most fictional places not on earth are on other planets, so I started working my way through this list here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_planets_by_medium but I was a bit lucky because I noticed after trying about 25 planets, an oddity on that page, Star Gate was conspicuously missing even though it's linked to from this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planets_in_science_fiction, so I started on Star Gate planets link which was this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stargate_%28device%29#Addresses but that page wasn't really a list of planets and google found me a better one here: http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Planets . The first link is Asgard-controlled, and the 4th link on there is Orilla.

Pretty straightforward thought process, no?  ;D

Uh so you are telling me you were bruteforcing every single planet in every SF movie or book ?
You decided to look into stargate first by pure luck ? Why not star wars, star trek or any other ?
Did you proceeded manually or are you using a software where you provide list

"Uh" as in your disappointed with me? Too bad, I have nothing to feel guilty about. It's not like I hired some Chinese govt/triad hackers to install malware on your system to steal only this one key just for props :P

As I said, Star Gate wasn't first on my list, but it was near the top of my list after I noticed the discrepancy. I first randomly tried planets from movies I had recently watched, like Rylos and Fhloston Paradise.

I tested manually using http://bit2factor.org/ . I would have loved to have a piece of software do the checking for me, but I couldn't find anything that worked for my OS.

Sorry for noob question. How to open the wallet if you have the correct answer?

Thanks. I think the OP would have been pissed with me even if Star Gate was at the bottom of my list.

Yes ! Congrats ! I've expected more hints  :D

I'll find something more difficult this time ! Harder to brute requiring more inspection !

no more challenges? :)

Hey Sorry for the long wait :)
I'm preparing new challenges who is in ?

Hey Yodark I'm in for sure :)!

I'm definitely in! Bring it on!

First hint : "M"

Do people on different levels have any special powers like last time?

No this is valid only on special hunts

Oh okay :p thanks for the quick answer!

Nobody is going to get it with just these hints, we need more.

No more clues? :)

:) next Hint #3 Victor

"#3" is an hint?  ::)

Nope :)
Hint #3 : "Victor"

What happened to hint #2:?

I let you find it
 ;)

Found the #2 hint  ?

Next hint #4 : "11"


This treasure hunt is hard happy that no one found it after only 2 hints :)

how to play this?
help needed to play this.

I updated the OP with a how to play section  :-)

The question was asked several time on this topic

This one is hard. I've had several ideas but all of them failed...

The answer is a place?

next hint #6 : Jewish

Another hint please. :)

I'm pretty happy than someone didn't guessed with only one hint like it already happened before  :)

Hint #6
"public transport"

how to know the private key? so i can check if i can guess the password right :)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rambuteau_%28Paris_M%C3%A9tro%29

Congratz, well done.

So, who's "Victor"?

victor hugo is also a station; i think that plus "M" was supposed to clue us to meto stations.

Why river is one of the clue?

look at a map, it's near the river

Damn, was far away from a metro station... Good guess :\

Waiting for Bitcoin Hidden Chest Round 12.  :)

Damn... I actually tried a few stations on Line 11...but this particular one..oh well haha

Oh well done ! Next round soon !

"soon" lol :)

But seriously, is there going to be another round?

It seems to be common for fun free games to fizzle out. Same thing happened to BitSolve (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=913351), CryptoContests (https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoContests), brainwallet challenge (http://brainwalletchallenge), and many more. Bitcoin Scramble (http://bitcoinmerchant.com/category/bitcoin-scramble/) is still running for now, but the owner barely communicates and the games are either too easy or too hard. I think the common cause of failure among these free games is that they're run by a single person who loses motivation for whatever reason (no ROI, users bitching, etc.). We need a devoted forum or subreddit so others can step in and take over maintenance or innovate. They could even be funded by changetips, which is all the rage now.

Hey guys ! Sorry for the long silence !

I was on vacation and before that very busy with our project SOG
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=957797.0;all (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=957797.0;all)
:)

Yeah this game thread is mostly for fun (unless now) that why it take some time. But As I'm from the gaming industry I know there is a lot of things we can do with BTC and games.
If enough people are interested in these kind of game I'm going to dedicate part of my team doing it.

Since then I'm preparing a new game !

Here is the new one !

First hint : "A hint was already given"

Aww I hoped for something less abstract.

Hint #2 : "A new place but somehow an old place"

Please give another hint please.

Hint 3 # Mountains

This is a difficult one ! :) by the way

Difficult indeed, I don't even have a start point for this one, lol

Don't forget to check the twitter for some hints : https://twitter.com/ideopass

I know the location but your vague hints can't help with the landmarks  8)

I remember giving vague hints and someone discover the answer with only one hint
I said "yellow" and someone found "springfield" directly

Ok new hint

Clans

Guessers outside Eurozone and NorthAmerica would have harder time figuring the answers of this game.

Nope everyone is at the same level here !

We can consider this as a new hint then  :D

I can't seem to find the hints of a previous game about mountains on the thread... Can someone point me to them?

Askian!!!!!!!!! Woot woot. I'm highest level now :D

What was the answer?

The answer was askian
