Post by: peterboker90 on July 27, 2013, 08:58:25 PM
Hi I want to lauch a challenge, you need to decrypt a wallet and you will get 0.5 btc
HINT 1 : the password is 5 characters long
HINT 2 : all caracters are lowercase
I used 7zip to encrypt the file
If within 24 hours no one got the money I will post another hint

I call scam unless there is proof. seems like you just want to data mine.

So getting the file requires you to fill out a form with your mail adress, complete name and phone number? how about no?

Doubt people will want to download something like this.  Make the password a brain wallet and fund that.

i got a weird feeling that "multibit.key" is going to tell me to fill out a survey.

Smells like a scam of some form. Perhaps you could offer proof or some other form of reassurance?

A 5 character 7zip password is far too easy, you could bruteforce it in seconds. I also call ...
SCAM

OP should have given a harder problem like the brainwallet mentioned above, or just an ordinary bitcoin_qt encrypted wallet with a slightly longer password. But at least its not a Jesus game (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=256942.0)
