The Bitcoin network protocol was designed to be extremely flexible. It can be used to create timed transactions, escrow transactions, multi-signature transactions, etc. The current features of the client only hint at what will be possible in the future.

I wouldn't call it any more time wasteful than the find the obscure google maps picture game someone else made. Just requires a different skill set. |

Meaning make a post announcing the private key and that you took the btc? I thought the point of doing it this way was that the winner would have automatic access to the reward when he cracked it.

Yes, just post that you solved it, after you claim the BTC. |

I'm halfway there, but it's too long O.o as if there's too many characters.

Interested...the time it will take me to figure this out is N+2 minutes, where N is the amount of minutes the guy who claimed the prize took to solve it.

I will estimate my time to sove at N+4 minutes since I am only 1/3 the way there right now.

Well, the first layer should be pretty obvious to anyone with programming experience, I'll give more hints as the week progresses. |

well first you turn that freaky thing into a form that looks like a private key. it is encoded rather than encrypted. so likely a given chunk of the key produces a given chunk of the freaky thing. then you try to add it to a wallet using the recovery tools which do it for you and see if you get that address. |

Actually, it's a post hoping for subtle hints that help me do the second half. Still no ideas though  |

Got it! - Decode with base64 to 360 bits
- Split it into 51 7 bit integers
- Decrease each integer by 1
- Convert to ascii-string
