1BTC - Bitcoin Treasure Hunt - Can you crack the code? [competition now closed]

So if you have thrown it in the 'bin', the outcome is the password?

 

This looks like a yes.
But when I throw something in the 'bin', the outcome is always a number without letters. You said that 000000000 - 999999999 were wrong, so how is that possible?

it would all hinge on the input, that is why you have to ask 4 the key

[steveturk]

from now on I think I will only be responding after every 5 or so posts ...

ok then, here is my question:

Where is the key? Is the key located at the 3 virtual coins or it can be found in your answers?

hope you can answer this

Well it definitely has something to do with the number 4 since he is saying ''4 the key'' and not ''for the key'' 

Binary-coded decimal, or BCD, is a binary encoded representation of integer values that uses a 4-bit nibble to encode decimal digits

Perhaps something to do with this?

Yeah, I was thinking about that as well.

Of course, the decimal 4 is 100 in binary, so that might tell us that we have to look at the 100 image.

dec 101 in base4 would be 1211. Is 000001211 the answer?
hex 101 in base2 would be 100000001. That's a wrong answer.
dec 100000001 in base8 would be 575360401. is 575360401 the answer?

"ask 4 the key": what is the key, please?

[Wendigo]

The 4 letters on the coins need to be substituted for numbers?   Or the 9 numbers have to be substituted for letters?
And you said calculate the answer then bin it.  How can you calculate something that has variables and still it doesn't affect the final answer?

the sum of 5 + 3 = 3 + 5

I got to this point too Neurotic. Not sure where to go from here lol

[Wendigo]

What are the letters for?

[Astargath]

What are the letters for?

Do you want him to tell you the password too?

[cdanilo]

For me confusing part is "bin" since in this case it has multiple meaning requiring completely different approach. Beside obvious binaries it could mean "dont dismiss solution(delete it) instead trow it in bin (where it can be restored from) or more likely refers to bin in "bitcoin".
Anyhow its a great brainteaser

Dude with bin he referes to binary as binary code, thats already has been solved

Here is another example of confusing "bin"
I thrown bin in

I have already told you, he said you need to use BINary language

i think it is this:
