Ok, here's a 1BTC puzzle.

[runlola]

Can anyone paste in a big .txt (rar) file of all permutations contains every of possible generated 32 character-8 words texts ?

I don't really know why I can't run this 1btc searcher tool but if somebody has all generated possible words I will be glad.

You don't seem to understand the math involved. There is no hard drive big enough to store such a list.

You just know what guys ?

I don't really know it would be solved ever.

The answer to this puzzles is 50/50% real or just created for ppl trolling...

Many of riddles was solved in a few hours/days after it was created and there was a more cash to win than here we just have.

IMHO the only one person which know the pass is the OP creator, no one else or OP creator just forgot this and his crying right know and can't believe of this all sh1t we have talking about

GIVE SOME HINTS THO!!

f###ing right!

I believe I have decyphered the meaning of the .txt part. Other than that, no luck.
I've also tried contacting blockladder on the email address blockladder@yahoo.co.jp, but unfortunately, it's been long disabled. You can send messages to watashi, but don't expect an answer. Though, I believe they are still watching.

I haven't given up yet.

P.S: I'd like to see thinking-out-of-the-box people as Tsuyugushi appear again. It is not over.

P.S.2: I'm getting some serious progress now. Or it's one huge coincidence.

P.S.3: Assuming all I know is true, and hell, this would be a magical coincidence if not, I have also decyphered the whole meaning of the question. What remains a mystery is the logic behind the anagram and a correct combination.

[GBT_User]

Hee SirVladimir,
sounds like you are getting closer

Yeah the anagram still blows my mind as well.

I have been trying lots of connections to the BIp39 list but still no luck..

Also have been thinking :
What if this is not really a Puzzle, just a "I dare yout to open my wallet" kind of thing.
I mean, who just gives away 1 BTC just for fun??
(except maybe "saatoshi_rising")

Anyway keep at it.
and if you do, please come ba ck to tell us how you did it.. :-)
cheers

Any way you can solicit help without giving up critical information?

[SirVladimir]

Glad to see you guys still sticking around.

Currently I am running a collider on carefully chosen words, though I do not have high hopes on it. Mainly it's because I want to have a program running in the background while I focus on the main theory. Assuming it's correct, I have got some serious information to give away. There are many ideas to test, many hours to meditate and contemplate upon the question. I have been thinking about it every single day, almost dedicated my time to it.

Eventually I might give up. But I am willing to sell all of my progress and clues for 0.1 BTC for you who value the art of poetic and pragmatic answers to these puzzles. It is a risk. You do not know whether I am correct. Neither whether I am speaking the truth. Please, be aware that I am aware of this inter-being problem too. But if I am correct, this information is basically 50%-75% of the puzzle solved and you are still 0.9 BTC up, assuming you've managed to solve the rest of it. A whole bitcoin is a lot. Even 10% cuts it for me. Take it as a way of cooperation. I can then drop all my effort and focus on other things.

The offer stands. You know how to contact me. Only serious inquiries, as I am not dic*ing around. Make sure you have got a trust in your skills.

For the rest of you, sorry for being a cold-headed selfish dude. It is frustrating and I hope you understand. It has been half a year and nobody has made progress. Until now.

P.S: I am willing to drop the price to 0.05 per person if more people show interest.

Joker!

[Wendigo]

Haha selling a half-baked solution to a possibly unsolvable puzzle? Nice one 

[BearCorsar]

I think The Question Is't about amount/// Because Satoshi Don't answer for this question clearly , and from this , or this person is Satoshi ))) or He or She think Them Answer on this question....

Looks like the puzzle was solved.

Can the people who solve it to give the solution after the tx is confirmed?

Yes  the Puzzle has been solved  after sharing it to the Major Crypto Puzzle group on Discord

Holy moly! They finally did it. I'm curious as to what the answer was as well because I spent at least 2 hours thinking about it, entering different word combinations into brainwallet and so forth.

It was real all along. I kind of suspected as much.

Where you see BLOCKLADDER logged in? Here on forum?

[SirVladimir]

What's the Discord group's name? Wasn't me, I would like to see what's the solution and how close I was!

[morvillz7z]

Looks like the puzzle was solved.

Wow damn! I thought this puzzle would never get solved, it only took 7 months though. 

I had my fair share of guesses, theories and whatnot. My main lead was the genesis block and the Times article, but it turned out to be a dead end.

Anyway, I would appreciate (like everybody else) to know the answer/solution.

Oh, and congrats to whoever figured it out!!!

Someone decided on August 21 ?! January 12 created ... Suspicious ... From this puzzle, everything seems not random

If creator make new puzzle with the same rules I will publish how I found solition

[BearCorsar]

The answer has nothing to do with the question! The question was WHY and not HOW ....

[SirVladimir]

SheHadTheIdeaWhileCombingHerHair

Looks to be correct. That's basically relevant words to the puzzle + most common english ones. I guess I'll have to wait for more poetic puzzles. There's no need to hide my approach now. Here is the overall progress.

If you type "WhyTheCombOfNatashaOtomoskiHas21Teeth? filetype:txt" into Google, a file called big.txt will pop up. That's what I believed the .txt part to be. You can browse it yourself, but here are some basic facts:
1) There is a woman called Natasha Rostova, whom I believed to be Natasha Otomoski.
2) Interesting paragraph: "Too dear!" Natasha remarked. "How pleased the children will be
and Mamma too! Only you need not have bought me this," she added,
unable to suppress a smile as she gazed admiringly at a gold comb
set with pearls, of a kind then just coming into fashion.
3) Natasha Rostova was born in 1792 and married Pierre Bezukhov in 1813. She was 21 years old at that time.
4) At the end of the file big.txt, there is a list of the most common words, and in the file count_big.txt (change the URL) there is a number of how many times they were used.
5) some code at the very very end of big.txt? (That's why I hoped the answer would be big-picture-thinking, not technical, perhaps irrelevant)

My best tries:
TheCombDoesNotHaveTwentyOneTeeth
ItHasOneToothForEveryNatashasAge
NatashaMarriedSatoshiAs21YearOld
OneToothEqualsAYearOfNatashasAge
SheGotMarriageInOneEightOneThree
SheHadMarriageInOneEightOneThree


P.S: Congratulations to the winner, but again, it could be blockladder themselves after seeing a marketplace starting around their riddle (aka me, quoting, selling my half-baked solution). Now you understand why this all seemed like the correct approach, or just one huge coincidence. Reality works in strange counter-intuitive ways. The answer seems... just a bit off.

See you in another life, guys!
