The Legend of Satoshi Nakamato, FINAL STEP PUBLISHED.... 4.87 BTC GRAND PRIZE!

[sonihr]

The image on the LTB forum seems to be different(smaller, different size,different exiftool result). Also this is the HTML tag of the image.

<img data-reverse="true" alt="r3ts@m" src="https://letstalkbitcoin.com/resources/abpt/hyap.jpg">

Notice the ALT description "r3ts@M" which is in reverse M@st3r (MASTER).
Not sure if data-reverse="true" is a good attribute but first time I see it.
Also the md5 sums of that image end with 7dead or dead7.
I also tried the convert to text site which was earlier posted which gave the word Miagi before and a lot of number and text were detected.

I have no idea if this related but I thought I would share.

I counted many times and I get 98 inner flames so I don't know any more about about base 6.

On another note on the LTB forum there is a link to the image with an input to put an answer.

The page is called https://letstalkbitcoin.com/torched-h34r7s

torched-h34r7s I believe is Torched-Hearts is this related?

that link is not publicly available, and even if you create an account on that site, the link says permission denied.

You need to get the special tokens from the LTB site to view it.

Which of the 3 puzzles are you guys playing?

Which of the 3 puzzles are you guys playing?

I already have 3 tokens on LTB I was just wondering about the difference between the image on LTB and the one posted on imgur/twitter and the extra information on LTB...

iirc they are identical according to bindiff

The final stage of the puzzle - the painting - remains unsolved.

[Delek]

I loaded the painting on my Multivac and I got a message that reads: "Insufficient data for meaningful answer."

[Todamont]

I scanned the painting with a tricorder. It detected subpace vacuoles with a covariant triaxilating frequency. I'm still waiting for the computer to finish a multipolar analysis.

Geordi and Data had already performed that analysis, in a previous post.
They determined it was just subspace distortion related to a Romulan Warbird being cloaked near by.

[Todamont]

Yeah but Geordi inverted the polarity. He always does that.

[Todamont]

Anyone have any new ideas on this thing? New hints still popping up anywhere?

I have no idea what you just said, but it sounds so advanced. Like something from a sci-fi move.

...Ok I just googled it... It turns out it is from a sci-fi movie...

welp.

I haven't read through ALL 22 pages, just the beginning and ending pages and thought I'd throw this idea out and see if it benefits anyone.

If you use this (example image) and drop it on this page http://mozaiq.org/decrypt
The password is: alice

You should get a message that = the bitcoin address


This is hiding a message inside an image (AKA steganography). Some require passwords, some don't. So if you know the password, you could unlock the hidden message in the image.

Might be useable with the original photo. If you figure out the password, you may could unlock the real hidden message in the photo. Cheers! Send me a tip if you find this useful 

My Bitcoin Address: 1B2tpddvJbdqQUvivw2XvqGVLdxdnoUXom

I used stegdetect and it did think there was a jphide message hiding in there, with the sensitivity turned up high enough. However, I've tried over 300,000 passwords with stegbreak, including every odd word or phrase mentioned in any of the threads here. Nothing so far. I'd be surprised if this was a brute force cracking problem, anyhow.

Here are my results from that:
OSpEZtA.jpg : jsteg(Ca/Q) Processed 1 files, found 1 embeddings. Time: 92459 seconds: Cracks: 450945859
so stegdetect claims that Ca/Q was a valid password, but no file was output

[Cryptarch]

Any new leads?

[Todamont]

Hmmmm, I wasn't able to replicate this result. What version of stegbreak are you using, I could only use 4.0, couldn't get 6.0 to build for the life of me. Apparently stegdetect is known for false positives, telling you there's a jphide message even if there is not, if you turn sensitivity high enough.

I'm using stegbreak 0.4.
I also think its a false positive caused by upping the sensitivity to around 1.4
The only thing that confused me was, that stegbreak didn't output any file on that.. i'd have expected some gibberish file to come out of a false positive

[Todamont]

There's a stego tool called Rizzy, also, written in python, but you still need a key or keyfile. I got this warning when I input "Ca/Q" as a possible password:

Input strings must be a multiple of 16 in length


I think if you really want to look at steganographic analysis of this thing, you may actually have to get into stego theory and manipulating raw bits in the image file. It's not clear which toolset may have been used to encode the data, if any actually was, at this point, and without a key, it's a brute-force thing with little luck so far. I was sure the Bacon cypher thing would turn up something.

[AgentofCoin]

anybody claimed the 4.87 BTC yet?  looks pretty complicated...

Not yet. https://blockchain.info/address/1FLAMEN6rq2BqMnkUmsJBqCGWdwgVKcegd
Complicated indeed. It is either extremely over my head, or so simplistic no one is able to see the way.
From reading all about the last one, it is probably over my head.
