Congratulations Gatekeeper!

THE END. Game Over.

 

[bitbaby]

Is this a puzzle? Is the key hidden in the image itself? I don't get it..

[knightcoin]

I need to save it ...

 what is the game name ?

[rext]

PUZZLES!

[knightcoin]

No formal name, but "Bitcoin Quest for Epic Loot," about sums it up. Also - twitter hastags: bitcoin, art, treasurehunt, hiddentreasure. And don't forget to check progress made on the reddit post, linked above. 5 additions have been made to the bounty -- the public key -- today. Game on.

cool nice game beautiful illustration/art ... Can I give an inspirational idea to the next artwork ?

what about something about Voynich manuscript ?

IMHO Amir Taaki and Cody Wilson along with the all seeing eye refer to the dark wallet.

I even found a 12 word seed in the code.

If you take the part of the code in front of the address

Code:

S7ovY8tcakz3CmiuN2rh5

and convert it to poetry [1] you get

Code:

curl poetry crystal war bus possibly carve meant soar okay emotion joy

But the darkwallet that gets restored from that seed is empty.

I also tried several parts of the code and shortened them to get a 12 word seed. Ill just pasta the results here, none got me closer obviously

Code:

I think the important questions are:

- whats the meaning of the yellow dots
- whats the meaning of the blue dot


the green and red dots can be interpreted as binary data. But there are to many of them to make it a valid private key.

this is the data from the dots

yellow = linebreak, blue = #, green = 1, red = 0

here is the raw data ignoring yellow and blue dots:

Did an XOR because we cant know whether red is 1 or green.

I also tried to generated several private keys from various 32 byte sections of these. Nope none are the solution.

1 = green, 2 = red, 3 = yellow, 4 = blue linebreak = linebreak


I assume the key is somewhere in the binary data OR there is a 12 word code in there somewhere that will restore a darkwallet with the private key.

Maybe yellow is red + green? idk.

LX refers to line X. After -> is the "text" of that line, below are the colors coded with:

Code:

green = 1
red = 2
yellow = 3
blue = 4

the spaces represent a break between the colored dots.

Row 11 from the left has only red dots. Maybe thats a hint?

@shorena  I think we should be looking for a key-phrase to outguess the image

So far I have been unsuccessful  

EDIT: Also the number of characters between one 5 and the other are exactly 51, but none of the combinations work as a private key 

[S4VV4S]

Guys, I think the dots is morse code.

Green for dash
Red for dot

EDIT: Anybody better than me on morse code that can confirm my suspicion?

EDIT: Anybody better than me on morse code that can confirm my suspicion?

I dont think so, the codes are to long (>5) and what would yellow and blue be?


The blue dot is on 12,6 btw

I think that's it.
We are looking for a key-word or phrase to outguess the data out of the image.

It could be chapter 12, verse 6??

From where don't know yet.....
