Good progress, there! You're getting close, as Kris apparently solved 1, 2 and 4, too  Smiley

The picture hint was about the 5th one.
The best hint for #3 was given by you, actually, escrow (and I rephrased it a little, since then)

I have a guess for 3.  Lost on 1&2 now though.

You cannot have any doubt once you crack #1, as it gives a username, unlike some other who only give hints to a username, such as #5 or... #2 Wink

I thought about trying to brute force the first one, but I think I'll just go to bed Smiley

Haha! Brute force won't help at all, but a some sleep might. G'night!  Smiley

EDIT : Oh, you meant brute forcing the last username, that could work, in fact...
The brute force "protection" I had put was solved already. But that's cheating!  Tongue

Could you post the brainwallet address of each of the individual solutions?  Just to check our progress so far?

How did you found that? I mean A=T and B=N
OP posted a pic of caeser but i tried caeser shift and didn't got anything.

He gave us A = T in the riddle.  "ACO" appears twice, so I figured that was the word "the", the most common word in the English language.  That gave me over half of the letters in "NOAAOPK", and I figured that was the word "letters".  (I don't know of any other words that fit "_ETTE__".)  Just kept going from there.

I tried every Caeserian shift as well.

I was going to go back and look for "the" but had moved onto other things by then.

Quote from: RiddleMaster
Riddle # 1
- Nothing is c3rtain but Death and That.
- There are two of them to any question.
- Bob of all trades, master of none. (*)
- Never listen to those three advisors - The night, Love and... And... Errr...
- Two of those are better than one.
(*) Money does not do that on trees.

- Taxes (or tax3s? Maybe the 3 means it needs to go in the 3rd place?)
- Sides
- It is actually "Jack of all trades", and money does not grow on trees - so Jack/grow + a connection to the number one...
- ?
- Heads

Jack, Sides, Taxes, Heads, grow - that all sounds quite a bit like gambling to me --> could be evorhees for example.

If this helps, feel free to donate a few cents to Wikipedia (via BitPay) on my behalf...

My best guess was that the numbers corresponded to the letters to use.  But xig?e wasn't a valid username.  You're right about the gambling connection, hmm...

Can't think of anything.  Maybe a drink will help.

Is the brainwallet corresponding to the other 4 usernames 1ED7i2wqgWFRt9Pc21PJMn4UAt4R4ncea?

I won't do partial confirmations, sorry, would spoil the fun if you finally find it.

I will just add one last hint, since you're apparently so close, would be a shame if you didn't solve it.

Look out! There are 6 lines, not 5!

If not cracked before, I'll publish the solutions in 48h, and send back the (still) anonymous contribution to sender address.
Good luck!

- Bob of all trades, master of none. (*)
- Never listen to those three advisors - The night, Love and... And... Errr...

3)  Everything seems to be about 5 letters, and all I can think of are the three wise men, and Myrhh rhyms with Err.. (grasping here):  r
2)  Heads:  e
1)  Grow:  g

FUUUUUU, I just checked something, and the 4th one is actually kinda hard to find using google - though possible - because of a typo, I'm sooo sorry!
It's fixed.
