ARG Puzzle with 3.5 BTC Private Key Prize, Game Over

[Yemmster]

I think we might need to look a bit at Cory Doctorow. He is the author of both Ready Player One and Little Brother.

As far as I know, the phrase we found in the qr-code leading to Again.7z has yet to be used. Can someone please verify this?

Edit: "that phrase" being: "Never underestimate the determination of a kid who is time-rich and cash-poor."

Also, I just now realised that both these books are in the bookcase behind her in that google-video-chat-thingy screenshot.

I have posted that yesterday.
Actually all books whose titles I could make out and also links to them.

Check my previous posts, you will find them.

EDIT: Guys check my post and the link for clues pls.

EDIT 2: #867

Yes you did. Sorry about that, it's getting hard to keep track of all the details. :S

No need to be sorry bro/sis
You are doing the best you can
Also, I didn't mean to be a dick about it.
So please excuse me if I came of like that

So, can you check my links?
Sorry I am on the phone and 3G costs an arm and a leg.....

we're totally stuck again

we almost tested everything? I guess OP likes the way we try and try and try

edit: what bothers me most is that we do not have any clue if trying to open another.7z is the right way..

[Yemmster]

Apperently; Ask and though shall receive goes in many places. OP is a mercifull godess:

"Bitcoin hash is the hash of the hash, so two SHA256 rounds are needed"

*PA55WORD

[hoba]

New hint:

*PA55WORD

EDIT: From 1st post.

EDIT2: And its gone again now.

[mtgox555]

[micaman]

New hint:

You are not playing fair, no hoarding solves, remember?

[Yemmster]

I'm guessing for arg sharing is a one-way street.
Brace yourself for incoming MLPs...

So now we depend on random temporary clues? Nice.

No, now we depend on Marguerita (what a beautiful name, same as my wife's).

Her name is not Marguerita.

I found the original video. It's here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rysbn9bZ54

Riffing off of that, I've tried these passwords, including the 2*sha256 versions of them. None of them worked for me:

this is the post that OP mentioned in a brief clue then deleted by posting ***mirth2E so we should maybe focus on this a bit?
