SOLUTION

Step 1: The first post has the contents: [᠎color=#ba58ec][᠎url=https://27ebfGNx4nJQT2dfs3E4mxV3tuytamWeJm86K77pa3SDrzk]. ba58en → Base 58 Encoding on the 273bf... string.

Step 2: Decoding the 27ebf... string leads to the 1NEGtaGs... address which sent the prize to 1shBNg... and on my trust page, I was given a neg tag that included a shebang in it.

Step 3: The text was: "part of the corrupt gang#! with tman laudaM Darkstar hhampuz all 5 collude" with a reference of search. This was by user "dtmorelikeshitty"

Step 4: MD5 hash of "search" is 06a943c59f33a34bb5924aaf72cd2995 and searching for it on-forum leads to this post: (irrelevant parts deleted)

06a943c59f33a34bb5924aaf72cd2995
Example (with only 4 people):

check

bct admins'

trust

from me

i agree because the bitcoin will rise and fall because volatility

Step 5: I sent a positive trust to Cyrus: "4᠎ real, a ᠎g᠎reat ᠎q᠎uality admin with ᠎Z᠎eal. I'd trust them as a proper Ad᠎j᠎udi᠎cA᠎tor. ᠎6᠎" and the characters 4gqZjcA6 were surrounded by 0-width whitespace characters.

Not a chance my friend :p I reached this part and I told you that this was case sensitive.. I thought the 6 pastebin link letters were 4 + Z + A + A + 6 + the hex of one of the shebang chars, 23 or 21.

I was never going to figure this one out, but hey I've learned something this time, good puzzle!

Are you really complaining about someone giving away free money? I was one step away from the end.   I appreciate it, not for the money but for the challenge.   Negativity like this is a cancer on the forum.

So, i only get to step 3 so far, lol. I know the part of the private key in your profile but don't have idea about the rest of it, and i use base58 to encode "dtmorelikeshitty" and combine it with that half private key and since you write "Brevity is the soul of wit." i thought this will be Shakespeare's Hamlet reference, but looks like i'm wrong .
