I just checked the eth address and till now, no one has been able to solve this amazing puzzle. I wonder how many months will it took to solve this kind of puzzle. I have no knowledge about this kind of thing all I had to do is watch the image carefully that might lead me to another clue.

yah, keep on looking for that nothing.. the only clue i find is a cheap scam advertisement to auction off their shit token.

Great competition but to me it  seems to solve private-key based on a painting is very difficult for people like me, i wish there are great and research-full  people who will solve it because the offer is given quite a appealing . May be this is a appealing plan for marketing and to get all that they are doing is gaining attention for their project .

Thanks for this. What are the main platforms the solvers discuss this puzzle? Here, in this topic there are only posts like "the puzzle is difficult" or "the puzzle is scam" and so on.

I have seen this puzzle is being discussed on multiple Telegram groups.

Can you please share some ideas the puzzle solver have at the moment, if they are really solving it and really have some ideas there to go...

CPD Project has already stated in their group ( https://t.me/CPDProject ) that hunters need to focus on the whitepaper. So, I assume, picture is the key and answer is in the whitepaper.

In any case, they said there will be multiple hints provided, first being on the halving day, which is less than 3 days away. Hence, for now, I am just sitting in their Telegram group and waiting for hints.

They posted in twitter the 1st hint:

Hint #0: Follow the Roadmap.

Waiting for them to explain for stealing the image from someone else work..

Dont waste your time this was fake to steal peoples money.

No puzzle in the picture because its a stolen art.

Thanks. Two hints are out so far. OP updated with latest details.

And we have the hint #1 here:

https://twitter.com/CPD_Project/status/1267535237069897729

Hint #1: Five keywords will become a 64 digit hexadecimal number through various transformations.

We need more hints, with those ones still difficult to solve it.

This is really interesting crypto puzzle and its really difficult  to determine the exact password key of this wallet address. I think we need more hint for this since private key of any Ethereum wallet is really hard to guest. We need to guest it for a million times then we can answer the real password.

I give up lol.. It is now 50 days still no one can sweep it. This is hard to crack this puzzle, I guess we need more hints here, 2 hints is not enough.

Five keywords? Bitcoin, Vitalik, Buterin, Ethereum and CPD? Anyone tried transforming these to 64 digit hexadecimal number?

Some crypto puzzles are hard to resolve, I've seen so much coming up and some are still unresolved.

The only concern I'm having here is that the artwork is used without consent of the artist. At least you could have done a collaboration!

Following up on this thread to see if someone manages it, please write a blogpost/thread about how you cracked the code.

Transform how? Write them side by side and perform SHA 256 on the whole? That's not giving us the private key.

hahaha, challenging puzzle, maybe you can see the same puzzle like this, to see how they solve it, I see that I need special skills, and I go back in this puzzle, because I think that I can't

[Davee294]

This is even harder than the one been hosted by Phemex and if no hints to be given I think no user/s will ever solve the puzzle. I think this was just some sort of advertisement on their platform hoping it wouldn't be turn out to be the same by the above exchange which many thinks it's really unsolvable, I'll be a watcher by now until a hint/s are out.

Indeed. I've spent about half an hour trying to play in Photoshop, changing colors to find some hidden clues, I've tried to use certain list of bytes from inside the file as private key, no luck. I gave up.

how are you looking at the bytes from the file?
I also tried photoshop and didnt really see any clues.

[posporo]

In my opinion, it would be best to show the solution for this one to prove the people that the hints are legit and make another puzzle to have a lots of legit followers in their social media accounts and for their project. I am sure there are lots of people who would loved to join this kind of puzzle.

With a file viewer in hex mode. Most file managers I worked with (on Windows) have that.

It seems like this puzzle will be solved if 50% hint has been given by CPDProject, maybe only PugoBounce can quickly solve this puzzle since before that person has often solved Image Puzzle.

This will be very difficult to solve because there are no detailed instructions of at least 50% that you say, and my question is, what if this puzzle cannot be broken in a long period of time?

I think it will continue to exist until someone can break it. And at that time its value could increase many times compared to the current price
