This is very strange...will the world be ready for such a change? Does world actualy have this big amount of money to pay for bitcoin? If yes - we all will became rich!

This is strange statement, that bitcoin and the cryptocurrencies are loosing their popularity, I actually see an opposite, whole world is like mad about crypto!
|
|
|
It will happen somewhere faster, somewhere slower, but we expect to have cryptocurrency exchangers everywhere! As for now, we dont have a ways to pay in common life with crypto a lot.
|
|
|
Maybe not among traders, but among users it will become even more popular becouse of its stability. Cos to pay with the currency which have a stable price is more comfortable, lol!

If I would have a lot of free money, I would invest, like many guys above said into both of Bitcoin and gold, but as for gold we certainly know that it price will grow, not bitcoin

The solver is getting ready to publish his own walk-thru explaining how he decoded the painting. And when you read it you will see that 1) It didn't require to be brute forced. 2) I'll quote him here as he hasn't published the document yet, but he says "Number of permutations of the three data channels multiplied by the number of possible interpretations of channel states yields in 48 options."
So after reading how befuddled people are on this thread that there were too many possibilities and it wasn't fair, I see why this person walked away with the prize and I think he did a fine job. I'm looking forward to his published walk-thru, as it shows he is a brilliant and logical thinker.
This isn't the first time a thread devoted to one of your puzzles has devolved into unruly mayhem. Perhaps next time you should create the thread with self-moderating privileges to weed out the trolls.

[UPDATE 4/3/2015]
There is 4.87 BTC contained within the image shown below via private key. Follow through this thread to help navigate yourself through the start to finish of this elaborate puzzle! There are a lot of cool crypto techniques used during this journey...
How many are a lot? You list? Many insincere deceptive delusions of creators. That's why it took a long time. There were many previous steps/puzzles before the painting was even revealed. You noobs just want to find something to whine about and are too lazy to even read the thread from the beginning.

Agree with you, just saying because I'm seeing a lot of effort on flames, like the lines of code from @kn0w0n3. But for example, nobody talks about why that kind of creeper plant is holding the queen while it melts... Maybe applying maths, logic and counting is not the way for this one. Take this only as thoughts, I really admire all the work being done here. (And in previous puzzles that I followed too). I don't think it's been mentioned before, but the vine seems to originate from a single white square on the bottom row.

Wrong! The white rabbit stuff was to a previous part of this same puzzle. Look at the title of this thread: FINAL STEP PUBLISHED. There were many previous steps to finally reach the painting.

Serious question for those new to crypto wallets (me)... How to I check a guess to the solution? How can I know if my private key resolves to the 1FLAMEN6 address? If it did, how would one use that key?
You can import the private key into something like blockchain.info then send the 5.001337 btc to a wallet you control. So in blockchain.info for example, you can click login to wallet, you put in 1FLAMEN6rq2BqMnkUmsJBqCGWdwgVKcegd as the wallet? and the private key is the password? There's a separate board to get this level of help: Beginners & Help

(All WIF start with '5') Are you forgetting about compressed keys? The corresponding WIF for these are 52 characters long and start with L or K. I made assumptions. This is one assumption I made, is that she didn't use a compressed WIF. We know coin_artist likes to mix things up, so I think that assumption is not valid.

I do think the vanity of 1FLAMEN6 should not be ignored, she has always called it by that name, not 1FLAME, so just to reiterate "1 in 6" may be important.
don't forget that all addresses must start with "1" (or "3"), so "1 in 6" might not be as important as "in 6" or "N6" or even "and 6". but it probably points to the 6 red ribbons on the key.

Would appreciate assistance in accelerating this dust-aggregation tx that has been stuck for 3 months: 9482c65368b13054683110425ad7fb3d61d72ee5d6d091d6e3b19051ca03d587
Its a Zero Fee Transaction Man... I Think it has been removed/discarded due to the delay of 3 months. Cheers Many thanks!!!

Are you going to pay out your users, since you didn't give them a chance to cashout?

Many people see creating 0-fee tx as wrong. It just clogs the network as you can do 0.00000001 sends in bulk amounts.
so just pay the minimum 0.00005 isn't that cheap enough for you?
Or are you looking to do many sends of 0.00000001 for free?
Satoshi certainly didn't think that: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=994.msg12168#msg12168The spam argument is uninformed, since free transactions work via priority, which is based on age, amount and size of the transaction. Once an input is spent, its age and priority are wiped out, so a spammer can't continue spamming, without paying a large fee, which is what they do now anyhow.
