True dat. I just haven't had any more time to do any more. I wrote them all down in a google doc.

[Yoshi24517]

UPDATE: I have gone through 1/2 of my possibilities (60/120 possibilities) and I have still not gotten it however if I do, I will share some with the person who has helped the most. Probably 0.05 to 0.1 BTC, somewhere in there.

I could quickly script something to do the rest, and additionally handle any other possible inputs fairly quickly, for a small share if your current clues do find it. I can either run the code on my machine, or send it to you as source code you can run on your own machine.

That would be great. I have everything saved as a google doc right now.

Actually, never mind. I went through all 120 and they all dont work. what is the private key that we have so far?

Also, here is the doc that I've been saving them in: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mHkUFuV2JCPbe6fIn-CmAQaKckfgtM4DQu47flua7Z4/edit?usp=sharing

FYI, some of us have already tested millions of variations already.

Oh sorry I didn't know that. I thought the other people did not do that.

I tried the basic key 5Juu22CkB3EAaBpEcyH9dypNhDN8fZgh6Rqwwbo5jeBa6dRNoTt with replacing each character with each possible letter, e.g.:
5J1u22CkB3EAaBpEcyH9dypNhDN8fZgh6Rqwwbo5jeBa6dRNoTt <--first try
5J2u22CkB3EAaBpEcyH9dypNhDN8fZgh6Rqwwbo5jeBa6dRNoTt <-- second try
5J3u22CkB3EAaBpEcyH9dypNhDN8fZgh6Rqwwbo5jeBa6dRNoTt <-- ...
...
5Jyu22CkB3EAaBpEcyH9dypNhDN8fZgh6Rqwwbo5jeBa6dRNoTt
5Jzu22CkB3EAaBpEcyH9dypNhDN8fZgh6Rqwwbo5jeBa6dRNoTt
5Ju122CkB3EAaBpEcyH9dypNhDN8fZgh6Rqwwbo5jeBa6dRNoTt
5Ju222CkB3EAaBpEcyH9dypNhDN8fZgh6Rqwwbo5jeBa6dRNoTt
...
5Juz22CkB3EAaBpEcyH9dypNhDN8fZgh6Rqwwbo5jeBa6dRNoTt
5Juu12CkB3EAaBpEcyH9dypNhDN8fZgh6Rqwwbo5jeBa6dRNoTt
...
5Juuz2CkB3EAaBpEcyH9dypNhDN8fZgh6Rqwwbo5jeBa6dRNoTt
...
5Juu21CkB3EAaBpEcyH9dypNhDN8fZgh6Rqwwbo5jeBa6dRNoTt
...
5Juu221kB3EAaBpEcyH9dypNhDN8fZgh6Rqwwbo5jeBa6dRNoTt
...
...
5Juu22CkB3EAaBpEcyH9dypNhDN8fZgh6Rqwwbo5jeBa6dRNoT1
...
5Juu22CkB3EAaBpEcyH9dypNhDN8fZgh6Rqwwbo5jeBa6dRNoTz <-- last try

then with two letters:
5J1122CkB3EAaBpEcyH9dypNhDN8fZgh6Rqwwbo5jeBa6dRNoTt
...
5J1u12CkB3EAaBpEcyH9dypNhDN8fZgh6Rqwwbo5jeBa6dRNoTt
...

No luck!  

Then tried also all toggling case combinations for up to three characters:
5Juu22CkB3EAaBpEcyH9dypNhDN8fZgh6Rqwwbo5jeBa6dRNoTt <-- basic key
5JUu22CkB3eAaBpEcyH9dypNhDN8fZgh6rqwwbo5jeBa6dRNoTt <-- example

Again ... no luck.

Finally, I tried every possible private key starting with:

5Juu22CkB3EAaBpEcyH9dypNhDN8fZgh6Rqwwbo5	(11 chars missing at the end)	= 5811/232 = rougly 5 800 000 000 combinations
5Juu22CkB3NAaBpEcyH9dypNhDN8fZgh6Rqwwbo5	(11 chars missing at the end)	= 5811/232 = rougly 5 800 000 000 combinations
5Juu22CkB3EAaBpEcyH9dypNhLN8oZgh6Rqwwbo5	(11 chars missing at the end)	= 5811/232 = rougly 5 800 000 000 combinations
5Juu22CkB3NAaBpEcyH9dypNhLN8oZgh6Rqwwbo5	(11 chars missing at the end)	= 5811/232 = rougly 5 800 000 000 combinations
5Juu22CkB3EAaBpEcyH9dypNhDZ8fXgh6Rqwwbo5	(11 chars missing at the end)	= 5811/232 = rougly 5 800 000 000 combinations
5Juu22CkB3NAaBpEcyH9dypNhDZ8fXgh6Rqwwbo5	(11 chars missing at the end)	= 5811/232 = rougly 5 800 000 000 combinations
5Juu22CkB3EAaBpEcyH9dypNhDN8fZgh6RQwwbo5	(11 chars missing at the end)	= 5811/232 = rougly 5 800 000 000 combinations

Total Keys: 7*58¹¹:2³² currently tried = rougly 40 700 000 000 combinations

No luck  

I think at least one answer in the document is horrible wrong.

[Yoshi24517]

We should probably go figure out which one is wrong. Also, what program did you use to test the private keys? Because I don't want to have to do anymore manually.

[coblee]

I got this PM from OP:

here's some clues. these are the ones i've seen on the document which are currently Right
1 5Juu2
2 2CkB3
4 EcyH9
5 dypNh
7 gh6RQ
8 wwbo5


Also here's a Clue ''sometimes going back will refresh your memory''

Not sure if there's any significance of him using two single quotes (') instead of a double quote (") to quote that clue.

[HugoTheSpider]

Also, what program did you use to test the private keys?

I was using a self made program which directly loads the OpenSSL library and does (simplified pseudocode):

Code:

function tryBreak(start) {
  trial = EC_POINT_MUL(G, start)
  for i = 0 to 5817656405 { //This is just for showing how it works - I did some optimization of course (eg. checking many private keys at once)
    if ripemd160(sha256(trial)) = "7d1646c1d03dcaad05ffaf3d05590a87a957c352" {
      alert("Key found! " + trial)
      break
    }
    trial = EC_POINT_ADD(trial, G)
  }
}
thread[0] = new Thread(
  @tryBreak(base58toHexIgnoreChecksum("5Juu22CkB3EAaBpEcyH9dypNhDN8fZgh6Rqwwbo511111111111"))
)
thread[1] = new Thread(
  @tryBreak(base58toHexIgnoreChecksum("5Juu22CkB3NAaBpEcyH9dypNhDN8fZgh6Rqwwbo511111111111"))
)
...

So basically, what Im seeing here is 5Juu22CkB3-----EcyH9dypNh-----gh6RQwwbo5----------- so far for the private key. That means we should probably look at #'s 3,6,9,and 10 to see what went wrong.

)
...

How can I test that on my own computer? Because I don't want to do it manually every single time.

There's a number of clues that the OP is apparently PMing only to you. It would be nice if the OP would publicly confirm them here so we know we are not being misled, and to make future clues publicly here.

I think OP was just going through coblee because he is the one who organized the google doc that OP was confirming answers in and coblee donated to the prize.  I thought it was fair.  Plus OP can do whatever they want, OP made the puzzle!

[Sakarias-Corporation]

These are the clues ! i wanted to ask coblee first if it would be okey ( since he made the donation )

These are the  ONLY clues i've given out. no one here got any more clues than these ones

Hi all,

I really enjoy this whole puzzle solving. Unfortunately I do not know much about cipher.
Just found something that might be the clue from the clue ''sometimes going back will refresh your memory''.
I repeated the process and sent an email to cipher1337@hotmail and this was the reply:

Don't make it harder then what it really is.



LeveL: 6RQ Has been Triggered.

''And then Jesus said to Judas, your name shall forever be ''Udas''
---------------------------------

The answer to #9 may become ueBa6??
Hope this helps!

I will be very happy if the winner is kind enough to share the prize  
 

[Yoshi24517]

Hmmmmm that may work. I shall add it to the private key that I have so far.

''And then Jesus said to Judas, your name shall forever be ''Udas''

Note that one of the confirmed sections also includes the sequence 6Rq, and the odd capitalization of "LeveL: 6RQ Has been Triggered."
