If it helps, I was the one who added .09 btc to the bitcoin address, so disregard that donation--which I assume you have done, obviously not a clue.  The other 1-0 deposits are certainly curious, though.

Also, before coin_artist silenced her twitter account last night, she made a few references to Alice in Wonderland. Wonder if there is a simple alphabet cipher involved a la Lewis Carroll. I'm not a cryptographer, so forgive the naivete. Perhaps all ARG puzzle constructors use Alice in Wonderland metaphors.

One more thing: in one of her tweets, she used the phrase "...what meets the eye." I can't remember--and it's driving me crazy--if she said "it's not what meets the eye," but I really don't think so because I was struck by her phrasing enough to write it down. What is it about the eye and what would be meeting it?

Good luck--you all are so smart!

In that triangle down the bottom I keep looking at that small piece in the top left corner. I wonder if it means something.

Quote
Red: Red is the symbol of adulthood (literally it can be taken to refer to menstrual blood, and thus fertility and vigor). The Queen and Alice are on opposite sides of this color, Alice just growing into her adulthood, the Queen just growing past it. It is over this place, this wise middle ground, that the novel fights. Red is, hopefully, a place (or an age) of balance between rules and mercy, between young and old, between wisdom and nonsense.

While 2BTC are a good incentive, I am not like you guys, thinking outside of the box(and I can see some people went outside what is outside the box). I could never solve this even if I spent my whole life on it.

But if I had to give an opinion. I guess looking at the pic reminds me of a QR code.

BTW, out of topic subject on our discussion (me and you): KwjWncep6f1o6PvoFQTGzjEHgBqtoqQWZrjSEcmvuYVcfjfnZ2iY  doesn't work either  Undecided

Can someone with a working QR reader scan this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=661781.msg7491776#msg7491776

Glad you found Coin_artist's (dormant) twitter account link. She tweeted about this puzzle quite a bit yesterday, simultaneously posting on reddit and here. I wish I had screenshot her tweets--they held many clues, I assume, arggh. At some point last night, after she made some cryptic comments referencing Alice in Wonderland, I went on Twitter to ask her a question and couldn't find her account. Another Twitter user informed me that she had tweeted that she was silencing her account until the puzzle is solved. Like Alice, she disappeared down the rabbit hole. She is otherwise quite active on Twitter. A talented artist and stunning woman, super generous and kind.
