Take my BTC from my Digital postage stamp challenge

[krogoth]

Well....been asked about that loaded online stamps password http://www.crypto-stamps.com/private3.html..which I think according to https://www.betterbuys.com/estimating-password-cracking-times/ will take about forever to figure it out.

   So that being said, I made another one loaded with about $5 worth of BTC or 0.00010246BTC.

    The BIP38 password is the answer to the following riddle....Goodluck!  

    Red as fire, yet fire I am not
    Green as grass, yet grass I am not
    Water I have, yet a lake I am not.
    
     What am I?

Was asked how to sweep the btc from the stamp.

Use your bitcoin wallet to scan the right qr code...thats the private key. It will ask you for a password..if its correct then it will sweep the bitcoin and you can send anywhere to another wallet address or sweep into the wallet you are using.

[tweetious]

aaaand... swept! 

tx is still unconfirmed, hence there is still time for someone to figure it out, and "steal" my precious sats...

Damn I was 4 minutes late! May just try to beat you out for the fun

  Congrats...i see it is indeed swept away!

    I need to come up with something a bit more challenging next time!

I am getting worried here... my precious sats are in danger... prolly should I do RBF ? (after all those tx fees, not a lot of sats will left)

I know the password, but I didn't have any wallet installed on this phone, and now that I installed mycelyum they went ahead, haha, it was nice and fun to try.

   Hmmm....be ready for another one soon...just need to make it a bit harder..too many smart people here!

   You can still try this one http://www.crypto-stamps.com/private3.html

    It has 0.02BTC

Was there any hints for this one or another post about it?

   Its been online since 2017 and never been cracked.

    No hints as the password was created by me punching keyboard symbols randomly to create a ridiculously 100 plus pass word that will take millennia to crack.

     Thats why i did this one today with a riddle.

Okay, but please don't do this:

I just punched the keyboard randomly for a few seconds...Goodluck!

Maybe I'll try to emulate your exact random keystrokes?  I might be here for a minute or two.

Lol, I'm coming for your $4 in change.

Just kidding by the way, I'm not sweeping it.  I just wanted to see if I figured out the password.

Just 6 random characters would already make it expensive to crack, see I'm BIP38 curious, please help me out!.

I'm curious: what is it? I tried "I am not", but it's not that one.

[Danydee]

 I just want to ask, how's the postage is dued using these stamps  ?!

"100 plus"?

[yogg]

"100 plus"?

Assuming these are only small caps alphabetic digits, a 100 digits passphrase would take at least 3.142931e+141 (26^100) trials to bruteforce it.
You have pretty much the same chance (or better?) by going after Satoshi's BTC stash at that point.

  Its worth close to $1000....I do hope I remember where I placed that damn password....

     Every possible key caps symbols all been hit randomly...call it a drunken keyboard dance. 

[krogothmanhattan]

are you a lefty or a righty?    we can try to restrict the possibilities ... 

  Lefty and righty when punching...

[krogothmanhattan]

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!!!
