Ok, here's a 1BTC puzzle.

[Wang Lee]

I have learned so much about BTC since i started this puzzle, that the 1BTC is not relevant anymore 

currently i´m playing with some possible information on the transactions.

[iq_armando]

SoThatItWasABitcoinsFiniteNumber

ToRaiseThePriceOfBitcoinOverTime

etc etc

assuming using Convert text to sha256, maybe is other



Or maybe you have an idea of the correct answer but the order is changed, example:

ToRaiseThePriceOfBitcoinOverTime    to   TimePriceRaiseBitcoinOverTheToOf    



We need another hint or more  

Or maybe all this is a Hoax

Funny that this is still going on, I thought for sure it would have been solved by now.

since there is no standard for brainwallets i would be surprised if using it would work. for example this one that you linked is doing a 1 time SHA256 on the passphrase, i have seen others do different numbers of hashes, or even using HMAC functions or use PBKDF functions and use your passphrase as its seed with 2048 iterations.
each of these methods would give you a different private key and without a starnard who is to say which one you should use?

I would guess that it would be this one:

https://brainwalletx.github.io/

When I was guessing I was sure to generate both "compressed" and "uncompressed" versions of the keys.

Not really solution but just came up with this: "BlueWhalesHaveNoTeethOfTheirOwn" - that is 8 words, 32 characters - I think it is a play on the idea that Satoshi is a "whale" and big whales - like blue ones - do not have teeth. Some sort of pun - that probably is not literally it - too easy - but playing along the pun lines might work, methinks. The question is a file name - so that file has two roles - it contains information but is itself in its own name also information - so that implies there is a pun going on - apparent meaning plus secondary meaning - two roles - so I think the question being in a file name tells us to look for puns.

Hi guys,
what is the probability that the "1BucK" is not a Vanity address and was just a coincidence?   1BTC=1Buck

[BitcoinHodler]

if not then OP should solve his puzzle. If he cant solve his puzzle then it was scam

you can only call it a "scam" if they asked you to pay some money to participate in this puzzle! since nobody asked for anything then worst case scenario is that you wasted your time and got "trolled".

It is 31 characters

I dont know why my message "Wait for OP and his solution" has been deleted by mod or admin? WTF with that message? If i cant solve this puzzule i want to hear the solution from the creator? Why have to delete it?

Because maybe you're starting to be annoying and spammy? Check your replies and see if they are helpful and fun to read.

[Shary]

the OP didnt even give a single hint, how can he expect us to solve this ?
billions of possiblities,, im done with it, best of luck everyone

[runlola]

anyone is still working on this puzzle?

stop trolling. some puzzles can take years before they're solved.

yup it just takes time and energy

[kaosbodol998]

I am still confused with this thread, so now I am reading the comments from the members while studying it.

[Alexxx787]

1814400 combinations can be from 8 digits. from 8 words even more

[HippiePyro]

I find it odd that the OP made 3 posts, 3 years ago then nothing until this puzzle. Not sure if it's relevant but thought I should point it out.

[starzero]

.txt extension suggest me a dictionary attack.

.txt extension suggest me a dictionary attack.

using the bip39 wordlist, there are a total of 161,735,049,399,563,309,103,078 valid possibilities to try.
this number was derived using the following algorithm:

Code:

for each combination with repetition of the set 3..8 of length 8:
    skip if 32 != sum of set of current combination
    for each permutation without duplication:
        size += product(size(number of words of length x for each element of the current combination))

Don't worry, i have a Qtrit quantistic qcpu

With this simple method, you will display this article in your local system language (keeping the fonts readable to you)

By the way, you can not waste time, because I've already checked it a few days ago and I did not find anything in this post ... Maybe it's some clue ...?

I think the first letters of the 8 words used in the answer maybe is to be used for the private key solution.

Im not too sure about that .txt what that means, but i've done some digging tonight, i've been scraping the bitcoin whitepaper for words starting with the letters used.
Having done that i now have a somewhat smaller list of words to be used.

I've then tried using watashi-kokoto's jsfiddle puzzler, but came up emptyhanded until now, it's pretty hard finding a meaningful combined text with the max of 32 chars 

I've tried these combinations:
WeTrustCodeOnNetworkOfHashTheory
WeTrustCodeOfNakamotoOnHashTrust
WeTrustCodeOfNakamotoOfHashTrust
WeTrustCodeOfNakamotoOrHashesToo
WeTrustChainsOfNetworkOnHashTime
WeTrustChainOfNetworkOnHashTrust
WeTrustCashOnNetworkOrHavingThem
WeTrustCashOnNetworkOnlyHaveThem
WeTrustChainOnNetworkOverHashToo

Maybe someone can actually make something out of the wordlist i've managed to get hold of from scraping that BTC whitepaper? would be great...

If anyone is lucky to get that privatekey, one little tip would sure be appreciated, thanks

Deepening myself more and more in this mystery, I seem to be closer to each other, but each circumstance leads me to a rather good path. I have spent a few nights and here are my current assumptions and results:
* .txt - I think the author meant that the way to solve should start in on this type (if not exactly): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_file [thanks to this and similar reading I took a step continue] ->
* I got to the place where you can probably put it all together: https://www.dcode.fr/permutations-with-repetitions
... in so far as it is not necessary to focus specifically on this particular script - there are so many combinations and uses that certainly one of these several hundred tools is the key to the puzzle.
* I think there is no SATOSHI NAKAMOTO in the solution ... These are not English words in any form.

If I helped through my contribution with this post in your progress on this puzzle - rate and mark as merit
