Hi all. I visit this site often, and today came across this puzzle and the amazing work everyone has accomplished. I have an idea that came to mind that I decided to share, in case it somehow can help. If this has already been discussed, I missed it. And I did try to read the entire thread.

When I first studied the image I noticed the 'illegal' O and I. As I followed through the discussion I saw where the public address ends at the O. At that point I began to believe that the I is somehow related to the private key, possibly where it ends.

Then I got the the Morse Code solution. I believe that the OP has confirmed the message is:

THEY CAN NOT ATTACK WHAT THEY DO NOT SEE

and not

THEY CAN NOT ATTACK WHAT THEY CAN NOT SEE

However, I wonder if even though the OP corrected an obvious mistake (because the letters spell out the DO NOT and not the CAN NOT), they did not confirm that is the end of the Morse Code message.

Say you change the words:

IS
TOP

to

I
STOP

Could that be telling us that somehow the private key ends (STOP) at the I?

Just a thought.

Yep, I saw them too

Btw, anyone tried to connect dots..(green red) and decode it using braille?

If you ignore the guys in the picture and loop the morse around, from top to bottom, left to right, you get
"tale hack evil yoke rode act nest noon time apex tilt trick ace catch key wish hash aim tech to hi techo youth dash one net oath tip set ether ent is top words"
and nonsense after that.

My head hurts, too.

Here's an art appreciation moment:

Glad you posted the color spectrum pic. I've been thinking about that. The logo for DarkMarket, Amir Taaki's project, is an inverted triangle with a beam of light entering and a rainbow exiting:  http://www.wired.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/darkmarket-feat1.jpg   (arghh, how do I post images here?) Much like how the eye/brain process light/color. It's a great logo for what DarkMarket/DarkWallet does, metaphorically.

[Here's a link to an article about DarkMarket:  http://www.wired.com/2014/04/darkmarket/  "Inside the ‘DarkMarket’ Prototype, a Silk Road the FBI Can Never Seize"]  

In coin_artist's painting, the light beam/our vision figuratively enters the inverted triangle and renders a rainbow of colors on the grid. It's the same metaphor - it's a prism.

Now, what about all those other letters and numbers on the grid....? The ones that weren't part of the bitcoin loot address. And the blue dot?

checked the blockchain for transactions and used addresses.

1BhnKiVaDokB9X5GKixZnSGxJXobbQtfQh --> depleted and not used in combination with 1HXUobwcB19cGDrghuh42HDdJdJvrJUEra
but this address got a payment from 1rEDGrNbuqqtbJU12XiU4hvmfM4XaQVcD and forwarded to 1PBsAHYQoczQh6mufENsR4tCkKToQKjMzz

1sosB9wN5ij84GKfo6Xxx8FWyh5fPXVXu  --> depleted
1rEDGrNbuqqtbJU12XiU4hvmfM4XaQVcD --> depleted

1PBsAHYQoczQh6mufENsR4tCkKToQKjMzz --> still hold some value, not enough for binary at the moment.

1BoRHtJva2L9YyqB1aS1zqgFUjjftNuZtJ --> the main(?) bank wallet?

I guess the depleted wallets mean that the red/green and Morse code should be considered completely solved?

We might still get some binary info.... :-)

I just wonder if the 1BhnK address is also a vanity address and what the name should stand for.
It may have been for a hint that became obsolete...

I don't care about winning btc. I just love puzzles, and I'm learning so much from this one.

Not much time today but looked a little into steganography, so interesting. (again, "They cannot attack what they do not see" = steganography) [also, remember, Coinkie said in an earlier post that YTcoin_artist mentioned via Twitter DM that she found steganography interesting because of the volume of noise]

I've been wondering about the tiles in between Amir and Cody. They have shadings that look like blurred depictions or reflections of something. If you stand back from the painting and squint, you will notice the darker shadings around the figures. At first I thought the shading was artistic rendering of their shadows. Now I'm wondering if there is another image that can be steganographically revealed somehow (not necessarily by code but by vision or a visual trick).

I like this (from http://www.szmz.hu/variations_on_steganography/stego_description.html ):

During my research of visual messages that are imperceptible at first sight, I started to study images depicting the characteristics of human vision, and especially the image types associated with Gyula Julesz’s name: block diagrams and autostereograms. Whereas the former are only recognizable from a distance with squinting eyes, through which the amount of information getting to our eyes is limited, the latter will reveal the hidden spatial order within the random dots when viewed from up close, with relaxed eye muscles: a relief-like stereoscopic view. In the Steganogram: Stereogram series I applied these two methods on a single pictorial surface. These images of double meaning and double view have to be observed from at least two aspects, with two modes of eye movement and gesture, so that the intended information becomes perceivable. If you keep the necessary distance and ignore the details, you will be able to recognise half of the image. Then, when you walk quite close and view it cross-eyed, you will see the spaces, the stereoscopic reliefs hiding behind the surface. By reading them together, you can reconstruct the message literarily hidden behind the image. [then she shows 2 pictures]

So are we assuming that the "donot" is not a clarification to us using "cannot" earlier but rather an instruction to not use http? Is this implying that we shouldn't be looking for a link or should we try using https?

Check user? is this saying we should be looking more at coin_artist? What about coin_artist's last picture: https://i.imgur.com/7zg1g9E.jpg

Does the binary mean anything here?

Well small idea (That may or may not be helpful), does anyone thing the asymmetry of the upside-down triangle has anything to do with it?

I dunno, just a wild gander to see if this sparks any ideas. I know very little about cryptology and the sort, but I'm hoping this helps someone out there.

out of ideas

Someone posted several sources for the picture earlier.
They are all a bit different apparently:

4chan:
4 bytes before 0xd9

google cache (?):
18 bytes 0xc4 and invalid structure

Reddit:
6 bytes before 0xd9

Agreed, but the prize pool is starting to get up there.

Been following along but haven't posted.  I think a wiki is a great idea, and we can mark the users that made "breakthrough" discoveries so the eventual winner can donate to the clues that helped them the most (if they choose, I would for sure)

Just a thought, the last morse code wordt not(?) part of the phrase were STOP WORDS,
But as I understood the morse (dot)code continued.
morse numbers from this point? binary?
