As anyone can send transactions to that address, we could end with some fake hints... i'm not saying this is the case.

It is a problem though.
That is why I asked the OP to confirm which transactions should we consider part of the game - coming from her.
I don't think she is coming back before this ends. She must be enjoying driving us maad!  Tongue

No, in other words follow the rules, share information and play fair Wink

It doesn't matter if you are technical or not, so long as you are part of the team and share your findings.
Playing games like this I have come to the conclusion that technical guys/girls usually get stuck because they think of things well, too technical....

That being said, if (and that's a big IF), I find the solution I will share the spoils with everyone who has actively participated.
Here's a hint: You need to look at the picture very closely, each dot is important.
That's about as far as I could get.  Cheesy

OK, since I have work to do and I wanna do this can you convert the dots for us?

Green = 0
Red = 1
Yellow = Space
Blue = Line break

And

Green = 1
Red = 0
Yellow = Space
Blue = Line break

Thanks Wink

Can you do it or not?

I have converted the red and green dots and came up with more than 200 private keys.
I believe I posted my conversion earlier.

So, what is left is to include the yellow dots and the blue one.
Give it a try and see where it leads Wink

EDIT: Does anyone know how I can export the actual private keys from blockchain.info - Sorry not much of a blockchain.info user and I would like to post my findings Smiley

I will do it at least half of it.

Yes, I did.
I said I have converted the green and red dots which led me to become the proud owner of 200+ addresses which I will never use.
So what is left are the yellow dots and the blue one.
Since yellow is more than just one blue I figure yellow is space and blue is a line break Wink

Have you been going left to right or top - bottom?
So first I get the 1's and 0's then convert from binary?
What about the letters/numbers?

Left to right.
I have started with a 0 because our first obvious message that it's binary came from 0.1010101
From there you convert to Base58 or B58Check - feel free to test my dots conversion - you will end up with 200+ addresses with 0 balance  Undecided

None the less, you wanna play or not?

there're some issues with shorena's transcriptions.

the red/green bitstream breaks around dot number 58 or so. an entire sequence is inverted. I didn't bother checking the entire bitstream after that.

the character stream has definitely invalid characters in the already-known valid bitcoin address ('g' instead of '9', IIRC). I also question the '0' and '1' near the end. there may be other issues. try comparing with the string I posted earlier.

So I should start all over?
