1A as on the ribbons, using a proper Yari Shogi notation, would be at the first board-cell from top/left corner, exactly where the 011 flame pattern starts. This is how data on its own matches something else that makes sense, unlike far-fetched WR-troll garbage posts.

I'm pretty sure white_x_rabbit's only goal is spreading misinformation, to slow everyone down, perhaps so he/she/them can buy themselves more time to win. Do not feed him & ignore everything he said.

Interesting, you know something without reading my clue

Look now at my selection (red color)

(Marked very quickly)

But it's a curiosity. You managed to hit, even though the interpetation, think again

Satoshi Nakamato started the CPU war with miners and works for the bankers and big oil with his PoW
bullshit plus more and now people are learning that BTC won't scale using the current design but he is
smarter than Madoff because he has already "Made off"

IOTA has a better design using Tangle but that nothing to write home about and did you like the
clap trap about "No inflation" if you ignore the doubling of the money supply on each fork.

Lightning is just a sticking but if your not a software engineer and want to understand why i
say this then see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYHFrf5ci_g and then feel free to
debate the issue because i am telling you that the king has no clothes on but many here will
refuse to see it until the price starts to pop and what was it our great leader said about transaction
fees again "Virtually free" in the white-paper or was that toilet paper used by bankers.

Yawn.. Let me guess, your next post will advocate BCH .. Is the earth also flat?

I won’t say what I did because I’m about to go through a divorce and have a kid in college, and so I don’t want to help a competitor (I hope you understand). However, I’ve made it a lot further than anyone speaking in this thread since I first looked at this puzzle almost two weeks ago. It’s been daily work, but the image does indeed contain a Wonderland, and more, as the White Rabbit says. It’s a real rabbit hole, so to speak, and it doesn’t require specialized software that you can’t find for free online. I hope to solve it in the next few days, and when I do, I’ll show you some of what I found. I do recognize that anyone who’s gotten anywhere with this might have kept it to themselves, and so I might not be the first to solve it. In that case I’ll still show you some of what I found.

Truly, it’s the most impressive work of art I’ve ever seen. Its appearance is deceptive.

Pretty cool, however, if you didn't land on anything concrete (url, new image/data piece, a set of big values that make sense), but instead, you think you've made progress just around this piece of art (clue kind of pointing one another clue that kind of points on another clue), there is a chance its all in your head, and you know... https://memegenerator.net/img/images/600x600/15956180/charlie-day-conspiracy.jpg

Good luck nevertheless

I have a small team working on this. If anyone with a professional crypto/dev background wants to join send me a PM. We all have solid reverse engineering/crypto/development backgrounds. PM for more info.

[kreeoz]

First of all, sorry for my english, I'm not native speaker but I hope to be understood.

I've read almost everything I could read in 36 pages.

I'm working on this puzzle since the week after CoinArtist uploaded the high-res TIF on her Drive and posted on Twitter. I didn't know she and her works before.

So, I have made progress recently. I can safely say that you are all so far away even from the start (yes, the start! Figure out how much you are far from the solution).

Someone is very close to the first clue to follow, but he/she is also slightly blind and did not see it in the proper way, so this clue was left behind.

White Rabbit, I don't know what your goal is, but from what I know you are saying random things. If you knew more, you could simply solve this puzzle and go away with money. You probably, as 99% of people here, don't even know where to start and why. So, do you want tips? Do you want to bring people out of track just to have more time to solve this? I don't really know but I don't think you are in some way related to this puzzle as someone guessed before.

Now, I am exactly 4 big steps ahead of you all. I'm stuck, and this is why I'm here. I don't know how far I am from solving, I think 2 or 3 more steps before knowing exactly how to fully decode flames, which surely (as many of you have rightly understood) they have what we are looking for.


I really need to win the prize, but I can't win if I'm stuck like now. So I decided to reveal to you what I know, only if I will not be able to solve this in 1 month from now.
I will do a video and I will upload it on youtube or vimeo the 1st february 2018 with details of all the steps I did before getting stuck.

I would like to see this puzzle solved. Maybe some of you, with help to get started, can show me how to go forward.

I will not ask for a part of the winnings, or something. I only ask the possible winner not to run away with the money without explain to all of us how to solve the final steps.
This is the only condition.


For now, open your minds. Good luck to everyone and happy new year 

[crax0r]

...

Or, you know, you could just write about it here, since you're stuck. Nobody will wait for your video that long. Also, nobody will give up because you said they are far away and you're so much ahead, so your plan will not work (if that's your plan ).

So instead of bragging, share whatever you have, like all of us did, or... stop bragging about it.

Now, I am exactly 4 big steps ahead of you all. I'm stuck, and this is why I'm here. I don't know how far I am from solving, I think 2 or 3 more steps before knowing exactly how to fully decode flames, which surely (as many of you have rightly understood) they have what we are looking for.

And this is coming from somebody who on Dec 22 - a week ago - was asking what a vanity address was... wow, you (kreeoz, thoth1978) guys have egos the size of a planet I must admit.

What are we searching for?
I have read many times that 1FLAMEN6 is a "vanity" address, so the flames "couldn't" be the private key because when they were drawn (more than 2 years ago) the bitcoin address with the prize was different. Is it right? So, what do we expect to find?

@crax0r

So instead of bragging, share whatever you have, like all of us did, or... stop bragging about it.

I can tell you what he has: nothing

[kreeoz]

To do the first steps, just to let you know, you don't have to know about vanity address, it's everything in the art piece and all you need is to think different and to use your brains.

I don't mind if you think I have nothing or you don't want to wait. You waited 2.5 years, I think you could wait 1 month more    bye

The one thing that comes to mind is that the White Rabbit is part of the team that designed the puzzle and is frustrated that most people are stuck on the first page, counting flames. The first real step and beyond goes many, many layers deeper. I have found dozens of significant images in that file, or hundreds if you count intermediary steps. There are two big stories, told graphically in there. It’s almost a game, more than a set of images, and appears to descibe at the very least, a vast 3 dimensional space to explore. There may be more dimensions there, if you go by the nodes between them. The white rabbit is the key, and you won’t find him (I don’t think) on the first image.

Everything White Rabbit said in this thread, that I’ve seen, applies to the puzzle. This isn’t bragging, more of a sideways hint because I have a sense of honor. The flames, and counting them may have later relevance, I’m not sure, but I haven’t used them directly at all, and I’m hundreds of steps deep. Lateral thinking and a sense of aesthetics will serve you well. This is an amazing feat of software engineering, but the progress I’ve made  has mostly involved my artistic skills. In fact, I’m stuck, a bit, on a more traditionally cryptographic aspect of the puzzle. It involves decrypting symbols that serve as instructions in a long series of chains.

If you figure out the first step, save early and often, and set aside gigabytes of space for the data you pull out. I lost a few days before I got back on track after a mistake in that department.

[Tory26]

Puzzle or elaborate rock roll?

Or elaborate puzzle?

I suppose they're not mutually exclusive!

I suppose too

[ladislav.czech]

How can I try?
Do I need to decipher the whole secret key?

You could refer to all these small drawings spreaded throughout all the art piece: https://imgur.com/a/5z9WL

They are thousands and more, they are people, animals, creatures... I noticed them the third day spent on this hi-res image at 200% zoom, I thought I was visionary. Thanks for noticing them too.

By the way, they are not the very first step that lead to something useful, they could be only funny easter eggs, or maybe they become useful later. I don't know. My workflow is much simpler and straightforward, it involves only what everyone can see without the need to zoom. You will eat your hands when I, or someone else, will reveal it to you.

I hope to solve this before being forced to tell you.

Are you sure you're not telling yourself a story that you simply want to believe? To me, internal part of the art simply tells how to interpret the flames properly, so you wont have to brute-force them. It might tell something quite specific, like read only reds, or skip this, jump over that, flip bits of flames related to the "partially turned page"  (that reveals the blue side), etc. I really doubt you need to go hundreds of steps deep in order to see N-th meaning of all of this. Remember, if you stare long enough at the cloud, you can see anything, and usually those are things that directly reflect your life somehow. Make sure you'Re not in a rabbit hole, dug by the author of the puzzle, cause you might get lost in there.

I’m absolutely positive. I have multiple friends who have seen what I  have seen. You’re a true skeptic, though, and that’s a virtue.There is a small chance that the valid and incontrovertable data I’ve pulled out is an ornate red herring, but I don’t think so. However, I’m not going to defend my statements at this time, because the proof is in the pudding. If the creators of the puzzle see this thread, they’ll know if I’m onto it.

To be honest it’s in my best interest to not have people believe me.

Yes, the puzzle is 100% solvable with low-res picture, as initially released. The fact that while zooming in you can find certain things is the cloud-effect playing on you. There are hidden things left on purpose, like the rabbit, but these are all clearly visible with the original JPEG image. TIFF/hi-res-JPEG were released only so people stopped following JPEG-related compression artifacts NOT so you can zoom-in 1000% to find hidden birds singing songs to you.
