I guess we should break down the video in all its seperate components.

The video is too fast at the moment and pauzing and playing through the video is very annoying.

Maybe we can screen cap every image and post the solution we have for each one? Would make the thread quite big though, so maybe only the images in the starting post and then refer to numbers from then on.
The url at the end points to a page on the author's site which has an animated gif of the clues instead of a video. Use imagemagick's convert command to split the gif into separate images:
  
Code:
convert GUESS_MY_BITCOIN.gif clue.png

And this is interesting:

At the end of each level there will be a prize in Bitcoin.

Everything you need to know is currently found in the cell you're trapped in and a high resolution image of the map can be found at http://whit3r4bbi7.com. If you can't see it or interact with it, it's because it serves no purpose at this stage.

The image associated with the account on textadventures.co.uk might also be a clue:

you should update your post here to make it less ambigous. the description here makes it sound like you're give away 0.01 to 100 subscribers, but it's only a single 0.01 to 1 random subscriber. and the description also says you're giving it away today, but the video states you're giving it away next week on the 19th.

in case you haven't been watching @coin_artist's twitter stream, here's two tidbits: "this puzzle is more straightforward - for the most part", and "New puzzle is more user friendly". At least we can rule out wild ideas like using her freckles as a bitmask Smiley

The 3x3 grids could be magic squares.

For this possible word I found only 1 match in my wordlist:
Code:
3d 2b 7b 2b 2b 7b 2a 9b 5b 4d
$ egrep '^.(.)(.)\1\1\2....$' /usr/share/dict/words

Surely that's not an english plaintext, frequency distribution doesn't fit.
We can try a bruteforce and see if something show up.

Brute force is against the "rules", no?
The earlier brute force comment was related to my not-so-serious suggestion that the password could be brute-forced against their api, which be similar to a DOS. There are no rules to anything that is done offline that doesn't affect others.

Code:
1b 7a 6b 3d 8a 7b 3b 9b 2b 1a 9a 7d 6a 8d 8b 4b 2a 6d 5b 5a 2d 5d 4d 4a 3a 1d *b *a
12 10 10 10  9  9  9  8  8  8  7  7  7  6  6  6  6  6  5  5  5  4  4  4  4  4  1  1

So there's 26 unique characters, so we probably just have to assign the right letters to these.

Some of those might be numbers- you can see there's a 3-character "word" of the same character, so it's not like this will be an average text that would fit the standard frequencies.

The picture has many cells and the colors and triangles could all hold information.


im guessing u mean something like

This looks like a pigpen cipher which was also used in the previous unsolved puzzle.

Also note that the placement of the white triangle on each 3x3 grid can have 4 different orientations, but only 3 orientations are ever used. There is no grid that has a triangle in this orientation: ◣

Using the grid numbering as above, and the position of the triangle, where ◤=a, ◥=b, ◢=d, the map becomes:
Code:
6b 7a 8b             7a 2b 2b    1d             6a    9b
8a    1d    1d    3d 7a 1a       1d    2a 3b 1a 6d 5a
         7a       6b 1a       7b 5d 5b 4a    7b 2d
      9b 2d             8a 3b 5a 3d 8b          2d
         6a 7b 9a    8d          7b 7b       8d    4d
4d    6b    3d 2b 7b 2b 2b 7b 2a 9b 5b 4d    8d 1b 4b
   1b 8a    2a 4b                      2a 1b 8b
6d             3d    6b 9a 4a 8b 3d    7d 8a
   1a    9a 4a 6d    7d          1a    5a
3a    6a 2b    7d    4a    7d    6b    3d    3b 7a    4b
               3d    3d          9b    4b 3b 4b    1b
            9a 5a    9a 5a 3a 6a 4b    8a             9b
         3b 1a 9b                      2b 8a    8d 6b
   8a 2a 6a    8a 1b 1b 8a 7a 1a 7a 3b 9a 7a    6b    4d
   7d    9b       5b 2b    6b    6d    1b 1b 1b
      *b          3b 1b 6b 3b 3a             3b 7d
      1b 6a    3a 8b 5b 9a       7a 2a       8d
   2d 6b *a 6d 5d    5d    1a 1b 7a 5b    6d    7b    5d
7b    2d             3d    8d 3d 9b             7d 8b 6a
And the character count is:
Code:
1b 7a 6b 3d 8a 7b 3b 9b 2b 1a 9a 7d 6a 8d 8b 4b 2a 6d 5b 5a 2d 5d 4d 4a 3a 1d *b *a
12 10 10 10  9  9  9  8  8  8  7  7  7  6  6  6  6  6  5  5  5  4  4  4  4  4  1  1

The puzzle is confused how about the reward how much reward we will get if we solve this puzzle..
Honestly i dont understand the puzzle.. and looks like there a qr code and it needs to send few bitcoins before you can start a puzzle..
Maybe you should try her previous puzzle which still has an unclaimed 4.87 BTC prize: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=766000

I found the extrazoom interface to be annoying so I downloaded all the tiles and created a single large image at full resolution: http://speedyshare.com/V7qbW/826cb985/download/map.jpeg

Thanks for that! Very handy.
In case anybody wants to do that for a future puzzle, this is what I did:
Code:
for x in $(gseq 0 15); do for y in $(gseq 0 15); do wget http://extrazoom.com/files/nhm/image-60156/13/${x}_${y}.jpeg; done; done
Code:
montage -tile 16x16 -mode Concatenate $(gls -v *.jpeg) map.jpeg

Really cool game, but it almost made my computer crash because the imagine resolution is so big that it was struggling to render it. I guess I need to buy a new computer.

What is the total prize of BTC for the winner? only winner gets BTC or you can find small BTC rewards?

your computer could handle a 1 GB image

i opened a 512 MB 10 years ago
The largest tile image size is 150K, so it's more likely his browser has an issue with the flash plugin.
