I think she wants us to use bits 7-51 of some SHA hash.

S4VV4S: it might not be irrelevant. I was just pondering that myself.
there's another prime number: 1039 (the height of the image). the other two images both had a 3:2 aspect radio whereas this one isn't.
the size of the 7z file is also prime number 1.91mb - 191 is prime number. I wonder if the content (probably another image) has the same values.....

.. or bytes 7-51, but this is a bit unlikely. You can not predict the result of the SHA function, it would be like using the random numbers. Other question is which exact of the many SHA functions?

She wouldn't have to predict the hash. She could use any string for that password. She doesn't have to know it in advance. Which SHA function? I'd assume 1 (the first commonly referred to as "SHA") or 2 (the 256 bit variety used by Bitcoin). If there's a weakness to my theory, I think it's that 45 bits doesn't give much brute force resistance.

The Cheshire Cat, can take any shape he wants and was generally available to guide Alice in wonderland. Can't help but think that has something to do with it. Looks like he has shaped himself into a doormat or something. When he disappears, only his smile remains.

Trying to bruteforce 7zip would take a LOT longer than bruteforcing a bitcoin key.

I was pondering whether it might mean: positions 7 through 51 of the SHA hash of the public bitcoin address so I get 1HXUobwcB19cGDrghuh42HDdJdJvrJUEra ==> bfbf4d0b33f24fc0117571e299a7ae523f476560b2aefcf2cd563f0a7e345459 then the 7:51 subset is : b33f24fc0117571e299a7ae523f476560b2aefcf2cd563 This doesn't work as a password on the 7zip. Thought I'd share in case anyone else had bright ideas what to do with it. (edit: I see timewave0 already had a similar idea... remember that in the case of this password, she won't have needed to predict anything. this does rule us out finding onion addresses and other things she couldn't have had creative control over via hashing.
edit2: riffing off of timewave0, I also checked binary bits 7-51 of the public key hash and no dice there either. check my work if you like ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
11011111101001101000010110011001111110010010)
edit3: sorry I keep editing inline! I was a copy-editor in a former life and it shows. that and the 360 second limit keeps blocking me from creating new posts.

Damn you guys are good! Please somebody put me up-to-date... you opened a .7z, got a pic and are trying to open another .7z?

That's correct. The .7z can be downloaded from: bit .ly/1juqeCj (remove the space, this forum nukes the address otherwise) Then the password for the .7z is the public bitcoin address. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Overlay this most recent image onto the FIRST image, and fade it out. This is what the clue suggests, and the 'shadows' that everyone thinks are a skull, or teeth, or something... That's ACTUALLY the clue overlay...
Yeah, I've been staring at this image REALLY hard and made out the outline of their heads.
Like the link page says
>Use the first for the next!

I assume it's called Onion.7z because it's going to have many layers, not as a reference to TOR.
I was checking the ASCII representation of the binary bits 7-51 of the SHA 1 and 256 hashes of the hint image. Maybe the original image? Anyway, the other problem with my theory is 45 = 9 * 5, so it doesn't break up evenly into bytes, 7-bit ASCII, hex nibbles, or really anything useful.

Actually, I get the impression it's called 'onion' because it's an onionskin map. An overlay to place over the original 'key' to unlock a new hint, like the invisible enderman image was an onionskin map

So, the original Alice in Wonderland film came out in July of 1951... AKA: 7:51.
