I got my programs finished and ran the private keys but no checksum matches.  I guess I was only expecting a match if we found the answer but wouldn't that have been disappointing to find we built a valid base58 private key that wasn't the answer?!  I'm going take a break from it for a while and come back fresh.

I managed to remember enough of my Perl programming to generate the possible WIF private keys based on the answers and their combinations.  I made some executive decisions to try to pare down the number of results which number to 5568 private keys.  Basically I used all 58 possibilities for the unknown LED puzzle, 5 pairs and 1 with three possibilities.  Idiotically, I closed my text editor without having saved my work so I can't even tell you what criteria used (I should be able to remember most - I know I selected i for the ice skate for example).  For now though, I have to figure out how to decode base58 to hex so I can validate the checksums to see which private keys (if any) are valid. If one is valid, it's probably our answer... if not, I will have to prepare a larger set of possibilities to churn through.

What is that rhombus with a Z in it? It looks like a logo, but I don't know which one.

Does anyone know this :p?
I've been through this site and I'm just not seeing anything.  This is why I went with the generic word pill or tablet...



I've looking for that and I found this twitter account : https://twitter.com/kensington1829
Check the profile picture. Is it just a coincidence ? or not?

 Whoa.  I think that's a bit of a stretch... maybe if we could make a connection to Jan Godfrey?

Okay I'm officially changing accordion to concertina based on this

  • Eiffel Tower
That could also be Paris.

 True but I'm going with Occam's razor otherwise we're going to have so many combinations to try...

  • b this is how "b" is represented in Braille
It also represents "2" in Braille.

 Well I see your point but the numbers are supposed to be preceded by the number sign which is a backwards L.

Here is mine:
  • Nakamoto
  • Satoshi
Those should be capped as all the other letters in those clues are capped.

 Awesome point!  Merci Wink

I think that since "LED" is too short the four letters represent the contacts of an rgb led.
Those would be red-ground-green-blue (according to some images I googled).
So it could be g(reen).
It's more likely the date the LED was invented.

 There are a few different dates for this as it was invented in increments.  Maybe the date for this particular model?

Not bad but i'm not sure on

accordion
and
dryer balls

hmm???

 The date for the invention of the accordion matches and for the life of me I can't tell what that image is supposed to be otherwise.  It looks like a simple diagram of an accordion.
As for the dryer balls, I'm pretty sure of that one.  The e o would stand for essential oil - this alongside the image of a ball of yarn. 
Do you have a different idea?


It's the Xerox logo.

 Lol! Why is it when I hear a better answer I feel so silly?
I guess I have to do some searching.

Oh thats basically the alphabet lol!

The marked letter is an x

 Nice!  I don't think I would have made that connection.

So it could be g(reen).

 Possibly but the depiction is of a two-lead LED.

Yes thats right but I have no other idea atm..
Don't give up!  What about the phrase with the two 10 letter words and the 6 letter word?  It might be something Bitcoin related.  Maybe a name or a process...

 Find a letter that completes the word.

Good day xhomerx!
Today I am repaying my loan.   https://blockchain.info/tx/9565df3560f74720cf946860812a4a4388a77c84900ce4791e003d1a245f9c3c
Thank you. Smiley

 I saw this last night but was waiting for it to confirm before I confirmed repayment.  Glad I didn't stay up until it happened!
Loan has been repaid in less than the 7 days promised.  Thanks!

Why do you think that J stand for glasses ?
The dates are the more important clue there. It's Steve Jobs.

So why not 5S instead of 5J? Seems more logical to me Tongue.

 5S would not yield a valid private key.  Base 58 encoded private keys will be 51 characters beginning with 5H, 5J or 5K so an S wouldn't be a valid second character.

still there for the taking? what does the chemical formula stand for?

Yep you can check at https://blockchain.info/address/1qkCBiEjY4GAUFBcrsDXqyM6EPbZKTqCW

IDK. That Chem form is wrong, i tried with the elements with no result..

 LOL the Chem formula is not wrong!  Perhaps you are unaware of the skeletal form of the benzene molecule C6H6. The chemical formula in the third image is actually the chemical composition benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid and 1,4-diaminobenzene with the water (H2O) removed from between them.  The structure shown represents the basis for the aromatic polyamide better known as Kevlar.
