Well well well-- seems that Coin Artist has gone dark on Twitter. A few hours ago @PO347 posted this: ". @coin_artist She sits and waits, he lifts the gate. Goodbye, no stay. It must be this way. #347"
Then Coin Artist put her Twitter account to sleep... Same thing she did during the solving of her last ARG until the end.
So we can assume she is behind this new puzzle. Haha, good one, Y.T.!!

Send in the savants, anyone less will fail.

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

Here's an address that begins with 1foLLow: https://blockchain.info/address/1foLLowqCoVRDdaLY4syA8yo8kasLEmdK... but it only has 0.00000001 BTC from 2011. It was given this BTC during a somewhat-odd looking transaction that went to a number of addresses with interesting early strings, e.g., 1BiShoPZnh9y5oHFxvGQR69ezHb5fZVdSV. |

Great job, Mirth! We should watch it to see if there's any activity. What block was it in? |

Great job, Mirth! We should watch it to see if there's any activity. What block was it in? It's in block 136190: http://blockexplorer.com/block/000000000000062f5b02857af38c8afd0c3c84d75e35bc8a3ab1dca9913bd563It looks like it was a destination address used by some kind of tipping app or something. If you follow the BTC senders through blockexplorer, the addresses are given some number of BTC which is then spread out in tiny amounts amongst a ton of addresses. Oddly, most of the addresses these BTC fractions were sent to were never actually used. So there's basically a tree that built out gobs of addresses with quasi-interesting names that have amounts like 0.000001 BTC in them. No idea if that's part of the puzzle but it's certainly curious. |

Great job, Mirth! We should watch it to see if there's any activity. What block was it in? 50138 (bytes) Received Time 2011-07-14 04:45:00 Included In Blocks 136190 (2011-07-14 04:45:00 +0 minutes) Is there a link which goes into other puzzles? This looks very interesting and would love to see other previous riddles to figure out the "style" so to speak. |

One idea...
The OP depicts a blockchain with certain blocks "marked" with x's. micaman has found a chain of transactions emanating from 1FoLLowLTi93qmcJMtw7izh9RufBjtHUTg. Maybe the x's are clues for which transactions to follow in the transaction chain?

@TR3N47Y is posting screenshots of this post on Twitter. You're on the right track. I've been following the 1WTR4Bt... through the blockchain but nothing to share yet. Beware the False Satoshi? hmmm.... Also, @PO347 now has a new profile pic with the words "if at first you don't succeed - call an airstrike" |

@PO347 has a Top Gun quote in her/his twitter bio...I'm just wondering if the "airstrike" quote is pointing back to that.

Please feel free to tell me I'm crazy, but this is the path I've been on, thanks to this post by Micaman.... I followed the white rabbit (1WTR4BtM61k4NB52Zvdf79k4B7jiiepFC) through the blockchain and here's where it led From 1FoLLow... https://blockchain.info/tx/3a30ea334087825035d870f234d9704643b0add5034b68a68168c6ad74fa25c2 --> https://blockchain.info/address/1WTR4BtM61k4NB52Zvdf79k4B7jiiepFC then click any recipient on the big list, doesn't matter which one, I picked one at random --> https://blockchain.info/address/13vs7FtkeaT4Qd3SWz2ZVJqVot1znzMRtvscroll down to the mirror transaction, click the sending address --> https://blockchain.info/address/1LsGQV6DvhR1RuK9KX7GkLiGcQ7CEXrZN8 Aha, interesting binary transaction amounts. We know from the last ARG puzzle that the OP communicated to us in binary through the bitcoin amounts (for example, 0.00010001) (which was totally cool!) --> https://blockchain.info/address/1TLSNYAx5P6Yjie3cF97fZh9U4B5UZ7PF Aha 1 fat bitcoin! And another binary clue? The last puzzle began by leading to an address with, I believe, 1 bitcoin (or was it more?). Is this address the starting bitcoin bounty? If the amounts are clues, I have no idea how to convert them.... That's out of my league. ________ More: look more closely at the 1FoLLow page with the "Follow the white rabbit" clues embedded in the inputs. The full message reads: Follow the white rabbit Beware the false satoshi Lost in the white noise [ https://blockchain.info/address/1FoLLow3pd7y5Wvk2dWYqpH6YdaHTLcYmM ] |

Possibly interesting series of addresses that gave BTC 1FoLLow3pd7y5Wvk2dWYqpH6YdaHTLcYmM on 8/4. They also gave money to the next public address in the series, bringing all their values to zero.
168TCxCbhQp3u4ufE2TKeCuawiYmcYDThy -- sends 0.00004 to 1FoLLow3pd7y5Wvk2dWYqpH6YdaHTLcYmM
1HRQsC4M59sx5VdkheVeCgSLkbfcYjBehe -- sends 0.00014 to 1FoLLow3pd7y5Wvk2dWYqpH6YdaHTLcYmM
12eECVqNbcsULkKGuPcgQEdsfaNkvN1Nkb -- sends 0.00029 to 1FoLLow3pd7y5Wvk2dWYqpH6YdaHTLcYmM
1GKM8cqpWGrWMKUsZhw87LvjUB6Y52Qmuf -- sends 0.00011 to 1FoLLow3pd7y5Wvk2dWYqpH6YdaHTLcYmM
1JTSmmt6DiNhuKHCkqUYPau1VTFevEu3sC -- sends 0.00011 to 1FoLLow3pd7y5Wvk2dWYqpH6YdaHTLcYmM
4,14,29,11,11?
