Bitcoin Cipher/puzzle - 0.56 Prize ! Bitcoins [SOLVED]

then we get

5hee2

which looks like the beginning of a private key.

The second character in an uncompressed private key has to be one of H,J,K. If we use 'XoXo' from the hint to indicate case, we get 5HeE2.

[Jin xiou]

i don't think it's even 5hee2, i'm certain of the ''5 and 2'' ofcource.

[Jeremycoin]

Oh... I want it, buy I don't know how to solve it.
btw, is that the private key or what?

If you decode 5hee2 with the same shift cipher as the hint, it comes out as 5juu2, and 5Juu2 would also be a valid start for a private key. Also, part of the hint was "UU EqUAl SmAll lETTErS", which further points in this direction.

Bingo. I think that's it. the hint is actually all upper case "UU EQUAL SMALL LETTERS"

That makes sense. So that string is probably the start. Maybe the "replace 1 and 2" hint also meant to swap 1 and 2? So it starts with 5Juu22CkB3

Did someone clam the 0.2 BTC prize for solving the puzzle or is it still live?
And more important, did OP pay the winner or scammed-away with the money?
Dont want to spend a lot of time solving it it has alreay been done.
Nice game though.

It's all still there. The puzzle seems to come out to the private key for the address. It would be nice if OP could add some more to the prize as this has gone on for a few days already.

I think enough of the puzzle has been solved to brute force the rest.

7 and 10 are not correct , l and O characters are not allowed in bitcoin private key

Doh! Good catch.

How about using X: to get 6:

if i may, can't edit the document gh6RQ (Q should be Uppercase)

[achow101]

We've definitely messed up somewhere since the checksums don't match. The key does not validate properly.

I wish i could increase the prize, but i currently do not have the resources

It would be nice if the participants that received some enjoyment and entertainment from the puzzle could add some more to the prize.
