The solution is a 32 characters long plain-text (the private key).
Hint: 8 camel case english words, no special symbols
Happy puzzling!

How many bit and what algorithm?
cracking algo is ecdsa multiplication, I obtained the ecdsa public key.. the OP message was signed with address 179sxfh6rw6bHSo5wVUhLP96k46QaEzVP maybe large bitcoin collider can crack it ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) brute force attack cost: 8 top 10000 words ... 107 bits 8 top 50000 words ... 124 bits 8 top 100000 words ... 133 bits But what I believe when we exclude certain words we can bruteforce the answer faster.

Are you going to place the 1BTC into escrow or do you have a signed message that you own the 1 BTC for this prize? The address 179sxfh6rw6bHSo5wVUhLP96k46QaEzVP might have 1 BTC, but who says you own it and that it is accessible by you and that you know the Private key for that Bitcoin address? Let's have a signed message from that address please, showing that you own that address and that you know the Private key, before we put the effort into this. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

8 camel case words is so easy to find but fitting it in 32 characters long is too hard. Lol By the way i don't want to waste my time on this puzzle. Kindly show first your proofs that you own that address .such sign message like what kakmakr said.!
By the way, why would you bother mentioning you don't want to waste your time? Given by the profile's unusual post history, I would venture to guess there's at least a 50% chance this is legitimate. Fitting it in 32 characters isn't too hard, see? It Has One Tooth For Every Million BtcsThat's my best guess, and that's not it. I'll let some new people find this thread and work on it with this incidental bump.

The solution is a 32 characters long plain-text (the private key). As far as I know, there is no 32 character private key. A mini private key would have 30 characters.

I can only guess he means it is a brainwallet mnemonic. Don't mind giving additional hints, I've given up guessing... A couple parts that threw me was the anagram of Satoshi Nakamoto and the fact that it ends with ".txt"... "WhyTheCombOfNatashaOtomoskiHas21" itself is 32 characters long and consists of 8 words... Hmm...

My guess, So based on this thread, Natasha Otomoski probably Satoshi Nakamoto, number 21 probably max supply of btc, based on coinmarketcap max btc supply is 21,000,000 which is have 21 too. It is possible to turn the question into "Why Satoshi Nakamoto Create bitcoin with 21 million supply?", Its pretty similar tho, "Why The Comb Of Natasha Otomoski Has 21 Teeth?" , but idk, just guessing.

this may be bullshit, but out of curiosity i entered "hal finney comb" into google and got one hit: > On Sat, Aug 1, 2009 at 8:40 AM, Hal Finney<hal.finney@...> wrote: ... >> non-working BIOS. So clearly there is no point in going over those >> tables with a fine tooth comb to figure out what SINIT doesn't like >> about them. Something else must be different. I'd say the SINIT error ...
However fine tooth comb is not one with 21 teeth on it Unfortunately I can't be puzzling for much longer because I go to work tomorrow.

Obviously I'm not sure how serious this offer is. At the end of the day someone gets the Bitcoin in his wallet, saying that I've done it.
How do we know that the person who opened the thread didn't do it to collect appreciation?

The solution is a 32 characters long plain-text (the private key). As far as I know, there is no 32 character private key. A mini private key would have 30 characters. usually every character is represented as 1 byte and considering a private key is 32 bytes you can simply convert a 32 char long string to a 32 byte long byte array and use it as a private key. for instance this sentence ("Hi this is satoshi nakamoto comb") is 32 byte long and can be represented as "48692074686973206973207361746f736869206e616b616d6f746f20636f6d62" in base16 or "KyeU5gX2cQJvtJkSGLetfHPmZaBJpauf3D6yDuP6tDAdzjCrAHnL" in base58 WIF.
