Aren't these on the scam and breached coin list?  0.05 btc seems pretty high? You’re correct and you might be right on the price! Still collectible to some. |

I’ve been looking at this a different way. What if the question’s anagram solution isn’t really leading to that being the private key. What if it is a guide toward the key? There are words like “obtain” and “key” that can be extracted. Similar bitcoin related words like “hash” and “satohash”, “combo” “name(s)” etc. I wonder..

So... You know how Watashi linked into a github repo by movedon2otherthings that included code for a tool called Satohash? Yeah...the code didn't work. BUT I FIXED IT! There were absolutely no declarations in the header file to match the definitions. https://github.com/jajorda2/satohashYou just need to compile in terminal: gcc satohash.c hash.h -o run You can then follow the example instructions in the readme.md. to execute whatever you're trying to do. DISCLAIMER I do not know if this has anything to do with the puzzle. I've converted a number of phrases this way into sha256 private keys, converted them to WIF, and no glorious "179..." Enjoy |

blockladder / watashi-kokoto GitHub connection
Looking at blockladder's "project pr" forks, there is a user called bakujo. Not much by itself, but they are following one and only person: our watashikokoto.
blockladder and watashi are perhaps close friends.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2044123.0Satohash seems like a commonly followed repository between them all on Github. I mean, there are several possibilities here. It could be that OP expects us to input a 32 (i.e. 32 bytes = 256bit) char english worded answer, convert it to private key through some algorithm like the one in the link. It could also be that OP is simply referring to an 8 word 32 char answer to be input into a brainwallet checker right away. It could be that the answer to the question leads to a second clue that will contain the private key. Who knows? Forget using the code in the repository. There's no .cpp file (which I am not skilled enough to compose) so gcc won't compile it--the header file contains undefined references. |

Totally hear you, Cassius. Here's my method, though.
Here are the steps...basically...and of course I could be wrong but take it with a grain of salt.
1. We know Natasha Otomoski is equivalent to Satoshi Nakamoto. That's very obvious.
2. To obtain NATASHAOTOMOSKI=SATOSHINAKAMOTO we know how the letters have to be arranged. Its exactly what Watashi-Kokoto said (whether he's the OP or not doesn't matter).
3. So numbering 1-15, we get "5, 2, 3, 8, 13, 6, 15, 1, 4, 14, 7, 11, 10, 9, 12"
4. Now let's use an alphabet:
5. A=1, B=2, C=3 D=4, E=5, etc..
6. Now rearrange the alphabet using step 3:
7. "E B C H M F O A D N G K J I L"
8. This is the decryption key.
9. (8,2,3,9,1,6,11,4,14,13,12,15,5,10,7)⇔(5,2,3,8,13,6,15,1,4,14,7,11,10,9,12)-1
SUMMARY
What I'm saying is that we know the NATASHA --> SATOSHI is a permutation. So, why wouldn't the rest of the phrase be as well? I could be totally in left-field, for sure. But this is my best assumption.

So I'm tired of trying this weekend. NATASHAOTOMOSKI --> SATOSHINAKAMOTO is a permutation cipher. I've known this for a while. Here's the key: e b c h m f o a d n g k j i l Here's what I can't figure out. If the remainder of the phrase is also a permutation cipher, how do we extend this key? It does NOT work for the entire phrase. If we can figure out the key for the WHOLE phrase, that'll give us the full translation for whatever the ?.txt file might be. Someone skilled in decoding might have some ideas. Let's keep this going  edit: E B C H M F O A D N G K J I L
5 2 3 8 13 6 15 1 4 14 7 11 10 9 12
S A T O S H I N A K A M O T O
How can you be sure this is a permutation cipher? It's equally possible the 'key' is just the result of a random anagram, right? I’ll type a detailed response after breakfast. You can use this permutation cipher silver to check the key. Type natashaotomoski in the bottom box, the key where it says key, and hit decrypt. |

As kind of a quick guess today, I thought to myself "Maybe Blockladder was a hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy fan". After all, 21*2=42, the answer to life, the universe, and everything. Turns out in ISO/IEC 14519-2001/ IEEE Std 1003.5-1999, IEEE Standard for Information Technology – POSIX(R) Ada Language Interfaces – Part 1: Binding for System Application Program Interface (API), "The Choice Of The Value 42 Is Arbitrary", a phrase which, when spaces are removed, = 8 words and 32 characters. I changed 42 to 21 and no dice. "TheChoiceOfTheValue21IsArbitrary" doesn't work as a brainwallet or through my Python hashing method. *SHRUG*
Just thought you all might get some out-of-the-box inspiration!
Oh and *edit* if that wasn't enough THE SUM OF ALL FACTORS OF 21 IS 32! Not that that probably means anything.

Thank you, Ligor. It is nice seeing the community come together.

Thanks for the python script...
However I cannot do the imports somehow,..?
I get :
----------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python\GPuzzelky.py", line 2, in <module>
from bitcointools import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bitcointools'
----------------
Any help is appreciated?
(i tried this : TheCombOfWatashiKokotoHas21Teeth and variations... no luck so far :-))
pip install bitcointools *OR* python2.7 pip install bitcointools You MUST have pip installed FYI |

Considering that: 1. watashi-kokoto was the first one to reply to this thread: Obviously she isn't him, but
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
S A T O S H I N A K A M O T O
8 2 3 9 1 6 11 4 14 13 12 15 5 10 7
N A T A S H A O T O M O S K I
who do you all think is she anyways?
2. Blockladder has 2 deleted posts, both were in the threads created by guess who? Correct, watashi-kokoto. 3. Based on posts history both accounts were active at approximately the same time. There is a very high probability that it's the same person. That was my thought exactly. Watashi has a post about buying accounts as well. Can't help but wonder if blockladder is a bought account. Anywho, might as well try the anagram solution. I'm offering to the community a full-blown Python 2.7 script to transform 32 character plain-text to priv/pub keys. The code is below: import binascii, hashlib, base58
from bitcointools import *
from electrum import Network
def priv2addr(priv):
pub = privtopub(priv)
addr = pubtoaddr(pub)
return (addr)
# Step 1: here we have the private key
#private_key_static = "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000002"
private_key_static = binascii.hexlify("InsertPlainTextPhraseHere32Chara")
print (private_key_static)
#private_key_static = ("Because it was an educated guess")
# Step 2: let's add 80 in front of it
extended_key = "80"+private_key_static.strip()
# Step 3: first SHA-256
first_sha256 = hashlib.sha256(binascii.unhexlify(extended_key)).hexdigest()
# Step 4: second SHA-256
second_sha256 = hashlib.sha256(binascii.unhexlify(first_sha256)).hexdigest()
# Step 5-6: add checksum to end of extended key
final_key = extended_key+second_sha256[:8]
print (final_key)
# Step 7: finally the Wallet Import Format is the base 58 encode of final_key
WIF = base58.b58encode(binascii.unhexlify(final_key))
print (WIF)
print (priv2addr(WIF)) |

The end has arrived!
Winning bids:
Lot 1: Hockeybum @.049
Lot 2: Bavicrypto @.046
Send me a message folks and we’ll work out the deets.

High bid 1. @0.041 ends 15 minutes from 7:25:39 should no further bids be placed.

1. .04
This bid was 5min too late as far as I’m aware. @jajorda23 can you confirm? The bid at 6:50 est should add 15 minutes from 7pm est. any bid in the last 15 adds 15 to the end. So if no bids are made 15 minutes after 7:15, bidding ends. Otherwise any further bids add an additional 15 |
