So this means only a computer genius that eats programs who can solve it? Lucky for you guys to crack it as it has huge rewards waiting to be claimed. I wonder if there were puzzles out there that does not require any computer skills just to crack it. Someone like me will surely cannot solve puzzles like this. 32BTC is a lot of money maybe I will have to find ways to participate and this is fun because the odds of me cracking it is so high maybe thousand times. 😅

Another puzzle that doesn't require any computer skills.

Throughout the video you heard and saw the scrambled characters. Quite a few people were on the right path. 1,2,3,10,33,45 and the last character.

The total scrambled characters for this puzzle was 8. Now before the wankers start to cry because it was like 40,320 different variations. It was also a little lesson in it. Our group conversation was the friend of the new user or anyone unfamiliar with compressed key formatting. Experienced user had a leg up on the first 2 characters.

The lesson here is, compressed keys currently start with K or L. Since this key did not have a L, we know it started with K. (now 7 scrambled characters) The following character would have to be an x, y or z (second lesson) and once you had the correct scrambled characters, process of elimination says its has to be y (an x or z was not scrambled) Now only 6 characters - 720 variations.



A bit confused on how we were supposed to unscramble the key.

Did the 1,2,3,10,33,45.. refer to the count on your fingers in the video? If that was the case, how did the shift work from there?

Thank you.

Personally, the most disconcerting aspect of BTC is the number of "lost" coins. I think some of the estimates I've seen are that around three million coins have been lost with one million being from Satoshi's wallets alone. That's a tremendous number when you consider the total supply is only 21 million. So you have what.....17-18 million coins that can be used?

I'm not sure if this was something that Satoshi considered when they developed BTC. Why mine so many coins in the beginning only to turn around and do nothing with them? Now it's mainly reverted back to the folks with tons of money who can setup huge mining farms or buy BTC on the market.

Don't get me wrong, I love BTC and everything behind it. However, I'm not sure how it can replace fiat currencies.
