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

[NorrisK]

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

I think 0.2 is quite a good reward for solving a puzzle already.

I think we are close, but I'm out of ammo at the moment.

Wow. That is a pretty big bump. Nice looking pot right there.

Good luck to the crackers as they race to the finish line (it seems).

No, he just added more to the pot address. The bounty for the cipher is now 0.56 btc.

Just a thought, but worth floating. In Puzzle (9), he uses 'then' rather than 'than'. Could just be a spello, could be saying to switch the e in the private key for a, or vice versa (notably the current suggestion has both e and a in it).

Edit: did some author research and came across this. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1129812.msg11983011#msg11983011
Seems this was a false alarm.

Haha, massive coincidence then OR number nine refers to your name somehow?

Did you try switching the a and e?

he's fooling us ! ! ! !!

This puzzle is especially tough because private keys are a bunch of random letters and numbers. There’s no error checking in the solution, so you can easily come up with multiple answers to each part and you wouldn’t know which is correct.

I can confirm I did not and have not.

The problem is surmised above. Just too many possibilities and no way of knowing if each mini puzzle is correct. Would be useful to get some ideas on which ones might be wrong and which are definitely right.

Would be nice, but it seems like the OP would prefer everyone to work amongst themselves.  I think he knew it was a tough one when he said he may raise the prize after 30 days or so.

Didn't he mean that he would decide whether to give hints or stop the puzzle completely after 30 days? Atleast that is how I interpreted it.
