ARG Puzzle with 3.5 BTC Private Key Prize, Game Over

[cryptozim]

Here's the original image with the redstone pattern on top. Using our elusive blue dot as an anchor point to the middle. Not sure how relevant it is since the bottom row goes across Cody's body.

Can you please reverse (mirror) this transparent layer from bottom to top and from left to right? And after that place it in on first (top left) block? If you do not do this before that. Maybe it helps. Maybe there is a broken QR-code that we need restore for next step.

Hex value of Binary posted = 738AC3244CFFE88C

Binary to hex conversion result in base numbers

Nothing?

Did anybody scan that?
Sorry don't have a QR code scanner.

[Yemmster]

Yes, tried to scan it but it wont scan.
Could be just one part of a qr-code though.

This is a black and white representation of how the 'redstone' pattern ingame looks when complete.

I've got slightly different image, created from the colored Minecraft screenshot someone posted above. The difference is that you've interpreted neutral elements as black, me as white:



Added elements to try to interpret it as Data Matrix code, result is this:



Tried two online barcode decoders, both claim it is not valid Data Matrix image. For instance http://boy.co.ua/decode.php gives me:

Sorry, couldn't find datamatrix within the image Why?

Possible reasons:
1. The uploaded picture contains not a datamatrix, but one of other symbologies of matrix codes. ClearImage reader is generally more robust.
2. No, or insufficient "quiet zone" surrounding barcode region. In this case tick "Draw White Border".
3. Low image quality, or lowest possible resolution (single pixel module). In this case enhance or enlarge an image in an editor before the upload.

Haven't tried your version.

Nothing... at first view. Thank to you.


Also... about yellow dots, can they are represents any structure?

[Kprawn]

I tend to agree, it's part of a QR code - Find the other 3 and we in? 3 x skulls?

4 pieces of a puzzle.

Great!
So now I and others have to depend on those who actually play MC?

OP: Sorry but you lost it. ARGs are about knowledge, mostly.
Not having to play another game to continue yours.....
Disappointed at you girl......

EDIT: I know you are reading this Alice, so, ARGs are also about freely available info, so long as you know or know how to search for them.
Once again, disappointed at you.

[Prospero]

If the end is nigh, that probably means the first one through will get the answer. This feels like a giant promotion for minecraft.

[pr0d1gy]

It don't make sense MC wise... Sounds like someone kept digging down, like your not suppose to cause you more than likely fall from a high cave and die or hit lava. Unless they get down to bedrock... No clue.
