Quick question, the word search is horizontal, vertical and diagonal? Or no diagonal?

 Horizontal, vertical and diagonal.

Well....here is another nice challenge that I think will be a bit harder and fun.....

    

You need to figure out the names of 20 forum members from this word puzzle. All taken from the collectables section today.

     Once this is done you will need to place in alphabetical order the names and take the first letter of each name in order and this will give you the password for the private key

     But thats not it, you need to wait until the 21st February to broadcast this timelock code. So in other words even though you have figured out the password for the private key, there is no bitcoin in the stamp. The coins will be available AFTER you broadcast the raw Hex code on that day, then the stamp will be loaded, then you can sweep.

    Keep in mind its for Sun Feb 21 2021 00:00:14 EST. Blockchain takes a median time, in other words even if you transmit at exactly that time, an error might come up, as the median time lags behind real time, even up to an hour or two depending on how long the blocks take to be added to blockchain.

 

Code:

020000000103bfdaa1eb2ddfe0f3413737fafb043f0607229643ba5934fcc1ce7455e23f31000000006a473044022007da6d883ee0952139a8b97c7c89503f4c13e6f69e213eec838a23e35f8808e102207082958fb7f01920e1fc89b2b08fb946f9a43da5f2604e334e28318f6c837b0201210372a52f8ef2e3663507477f7f0cf1994c8cb46252ca22bed4425a70cab09deca3feffffff01bd270000000000001976a914675bd20c10471947aa3ae1ef323d01fa41e7e2a588acdee83160

     So to recap,

      a) Solve the word puzzle by finding the names of 20 forum members

      b) Place names in alphabetical order

      c) Take the first letter of each name and altogether they will be the password required to unlock the private key

      d) Broadcast the raw hex code here https://blockstream.info/tx/push on the 21st February 2021.

      e) Once that is done, the stamp will then be loaded with Bitcoin.

      f) Sweep the private QR code stamp with the correct password consisting of the first letters of each members name from the word puzzle in alphabetical order.

    
   So even though you figure out the password now, you will still have to wait until Sunday, so many people can have figured it out, but still you have to beat your other competitors to broadcasting the raw TX and then sweeping.  Goodluck!!!
    

Cool.  
I'm proud to see you inspired yourself from my work !

Good luck to all participant's in Krog's game

Your name might just be in there somewhere in the word puzzle...who knows

good question
or it might just not be who knows

luckily I have time to figure it out

Found a few names but I give up. Might try and look for more names later as there's plenty of time left (till 21st).

What was the answer to original riddle btw, if you or tweetious don't mind sharing?

[Mbitr]

Wahey, looks like fun. When I’ve got some time to kill over the next few days I’ll definitely give it a go . Thanks Krog
PS aid also like to know the answer to the original riddle 

[doblezero]

This is more difficult, I only have 5 names, hahaha.

Perhaps I can provide the answer to the riddle... with another riddle!

A green egg? With a watery red "yolk"? sounds refreshing...   Also, it's all in lowercase.

[TheBeardedBaby]

I have a headache already... found approx 16 names, luckily I hang out in that section even if I don't post much there so most of the known names I know and are "easy" to find, well i needed to check the recent post from this section too, but those 4 are hard ones... If the headache is gone tomorrow I'll continue. It's really exciting, thanks krogo, I see you are still in a good mood. I love all your work man.

If I manage to claim those coins I will donate them to the SpamBuster club

[plen]

Good luck everyone! The sprint will be on come Feb 21.

I actually found 21 names somehow!  Took me a while to figure out which one wasn't counted.

[DireWolfM14]

Thanks for the puzzle Kroth.  This one is much harder, I must admit.  I'm up to nineteen usernames, and I found some that should be, lol.  I've had enough for tonight, I hope to find the last one tomorrow night.

Congrats on cracking the code, plen.  I guess it's going to come down who has the fastest connection and sets the highest fees, lol.  Good luck every one.

That's great news,and thanks for the tip plen, so now I have to find actually 5 not 4 names. It's gonna be fun to figure out which one is not included. Now I saw that the time of the locked transaction is actually Sun Feb 21 2021 00:00:14 EST, that means 05.00.14 UTC, I guess I won't be the first in that challenge but I'll try my best.

Good luck everyone and thanks for the tip again.

Oh I don't want to lead you on a wild goose chase. The member in question that I had to remove hadn't posted since 2015. I spotted a common word, did a member search and thought I had verified that they were active. Only after trying many things with me thinking I had the 20 usernames did I figure I got one wrong. So I revisited the list and spotted the error and had to thus go find the real 20th user.

Headache -yes
Sore eyes -yes
Entertained - VERY
17 names found , 3 to go  
Thanks Krog
EDIT - aargh - 1 to go

  Glad you are having a good time...wait until the next word puzzle of 30 names hits your brain  

[SatsLife]

Completed last night. Hint: it's much easier if you print it. Good luck everyone, the race is on.

[Gatorelf]

omg, I smoked to much pot when I was a teen

I need to change my glasses man, that's horrible. I think I manage to get all the names correctly after 2 more hours of staring like a crazy.
Just a tip for the others. Printing really helps but if you are stuck, print it in a bigger scale like A2 and hang it somewhere far from you so don't ruin your vision. I found one name when just randomly look at the word list hanging on the door at work. It helped me, it could help you too. If I don't get too lazy to wake up that early, I'll try to catch the prize

20 was easy, 30 wont be difficult either, just some more time spent in staring The worst think is when I close my eyes I still see the list.. and those patches of letters repeating are so heavily stuck in my head.. I LOVE IT!!!!! Thanks for the great experience I haven't been reading so many random letters for years....

....this post is a result of a brain damage.. sorry if you read it the whole...

[krogoth]

20 was easy, 30 wont be difficult either

  Oh really! Easy you say....next one lets make it vertical...diagonal...horizontaly and backwards as well now.

[krogoth]

I cant believe they placed this is gambling....wtf?
