Wow great idea! I loved it. I new it was encrypted, but I was too dumb to decode it. Can you make one puzzle easy for idiots like me?

[Alaki]

A puzzle game. ( Goes above my head )

Same. The concept / rules / how to? of the puzzle is not clearly explained by the OP.
@OP : Explain the rules in simple words. Your current concept is against the solution/answers.
Firstly, clear me/us about the Concept for words -> words can be one or two or more ?
Secondly, The solutions/answers are "not" bitcoin related.
Thirdly and lastly Op says to find a "word" but the solution comes in "words".

It says something about requiring a key to solve the code. Don't know what's the key for this.

What really adds on to it is,I believe the contest is advertised on this forum and unfortunately nobody from the forum is solving the puzzle but somebody else.@OP is it like the puzzle is advertised elsewhere from this forum that we're unaware of ?

This was our intention, but we changed our minds on this. I'll ask my collegue to change the OP.

The solver of the puzzle apparently knows what he/she is doing, since address re-use is bad.

well absolutely scam,your solving the puzzle for free.

It is true that our puzzles are not "provably fair". We made the puzzles, so we could give away the answers to certain persons, this is unavoidable in this game type.

Absolutely! We post it on Reddit, facebook, twitter, IRC, our website and so on.
