I don't see the letters you are talking about?

Umm.., you coulda just read the link I posted and seen that it is clearly not related. Also, the private key in the photo is not an eth key....

About the image in the photo: https://www.furtherfield.org/2c-e6-85-dc-0b-a7-9f-2c/

1. Good question...

2. It looks like the funds were moved into that address just a few days after this thread was updated. I don't think this discredits the possibility of finding a private key.

3. Yes to all of those, except maybe the text (I have not tried converting anything directly to text yet). I have generated many many, empty, addresses of various forms from data generated from the picture to no avail. Honestly though, I don't think we are simply just looking for a private key.

Perhaps to show the proper orientation of the image.

Regardless, I think the rabbit is undeniable.

I think the joker face is a "cloud image".., I hope the rabbit isn't actually affiliated with the puzzle, if they are though, perhaps they were just trying to illustrate the white rabbit.

Oddly enough, that is more or less exactly what I thought I saw as well. I think that is just a coincidence though..., How do you plan on trying to decipher that squiggle?

I just like puzzles..,  I obviously can't stop the rabbit from doing anything.

In case anyone finds it useful...

Why are you in such a hurry to have your puzzle solved then?

It may not have been solved in 2 years due to lack of exposure. I did not know about this puzzle until fairly recently.., It has been great reading through this and past ARGs from the same creator/creators though. Put a little mystery back into the world..., Which is why I don't want to see it end prematurely. If you really are the creator of this puzzle, You've put together a challenge that one doesn't come across to often in their life. I hope you'll let it play out..., Also, if you really did make this.., Thank you for the challenge.

I believe she stated that the book was not a hint.., Although, even if it was a hint. That doesn't necessarily mean you'll understand what the hint is simply from reading the book.

It's like when someone gives you the solution to a riddle. The fun is in trying to solve the thing, not in being told how to do it.

If you are indeed the creator, you can do as you please with your puzzle. I just enjoy the mystery in it..,

@feedo

The face you circled is what I originally thought was a joker.., I don't think it is a face though.

I see your sv now, but I'm not convinced by that.

Personally, I hope that the rabbit is not actually giving out clues. A large part of the reason I enjoy working on this puzzle, is because it has not been solved in so long. I enjoy the mystery behind it.., I also like seeing the ideas other people come up with..., IDK, I just feel like hints of this nature (If they really are hints) kind of ruin the whole thing..., Actually, the disappoint I experienced seeing someone posting hints is what prompted me to make an account in the first place.

Any who.., It seems as though the rabbit is actually giving plausible hints.., but please stop rabbit.

It makes sense that the picture should be oriented so you can see the rabbit. It also makes sense that the information we need to extract is in the whole picture, as apposed to just in the flames. I also think it is a pretty crazy that the portion of the keys containing ribbons that could encode A1, fall into the A1 tile. If we number the tiles as follows:

9 09  A9
8 08  A8
7 07  A7
6 06  A6
5 05  A5
4 04  A4
3 03  A3
2 02  A2
1 01  A1  B1  C1  D1  E1  F1
   0    A    B    C    D    E    F


I also have a suspicion (that if this hint is actually a hint) some of these tiles need to be flipped.


As far as the rabbits black and white picture, I don't see any face, I thought I saw the face of a joker in it the very first time it was posted, but upon closer examination i think it was just my tired mind.


I've tried a lot of different things, and haven't really discovered much that hasn't been said already, at least nothing I want to share at the moment.


One thing I did notice that I haven't seen mentioned, that may or may not mean anything, is that all of the tracks of flames are divisible by 4, except for three of them.



EDIT:

Since I posted, I might as well ask.... If you flip the picture so you can see the rabbit. It appears as though there is an arrow pointing to the flame in the bottom left corner. If you zoom into the arrow it looks like it is just a brush stroke, and so I dismissed it (for the most part). I'm curious if anyone thinks that this might actually be purposeful, or if the general consensus is that it is indeed just a brush stroke.
