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

[ndnh]

Good Eye!!! I wonder what the 100 means on the top right corner.

It might be the order of on which the numbers are to be applied.

We have a 000 which comes first and a 100. Next should be?

Or it could be 0 and 4 (in binary) which could be the order or a number of the code or hex.


I have omitted this part since it will be clear only after we get the next image. If it is 200, it will be surely the order in which it should be read. (The site says location 2 not location 3, so I think the clues are given in random order)

If only 0s and 1s are there, then of course, it should be binary.

@ndnhc  I think 2nd image is releated to the exchanges name which is 5 chars.

 So My guess is CATGBEXCB

I've already told  "BCTGBEXAC" (whose first and last 2 letters were found by your way).

My observation is that two already known images have given just 2 letters each.
It is more likely that the clue will have around 6 letters. That is the second image will give around 2 letters.

Since all the letters known till now are a. b or c, which could be hexadecimal digits.

I think the second image will reveal 3 characters, and when we convert it to decimal we will get a 9 digit code. all numbers.

Also;
Well actually we got 3 digits also (which could be binary)
000 -> 0 hexal
100 -> 4 hexal
so we got 3x2= 6 hexal parts of password.

Yes, if the next coin has only 2 letters, then this is the answer

Shouldn't there be some kind of consolation prizes? Anyone could simply watch this thread and jump to the answer and get the prize.

That will be very disapointing to those who cracked those 2 virtual coins.
I was right on track with the first clue, but I haddn't found this thread.
With the third one, I went a completely different way, lol. I caught another train from another planet.

The OP probably will give only 1 coin and that will be.

[ndnh]

I think the second coin will have 001 on it.

If I win that 1BTC, I will tip something to the three guys who cracked that 3 clues.

We should all split the profit . Said the guy knowing he will not win

lol, I am not interested in the money much. All I said is I will share. You don't have to do it.

[steveturk]

So we got 'ca   cb' till now?
I think the 2nd image will give 3 characters.
I am assuming it is read clockwise of course.

So we will get something like: ca___cb

and using this: http://www.binaryhexconverter.com/hex-to-decimal-converter we will be able to get a 9 digit pass code.

1:


A and C appears pressed in this image.
Clockwise it is CA


3:




C and B appears pressed in the image.



Edit: To see this clearly, Right click and open in new tab both images and simply switch tabs quickly while looking at the coin. You will see the difference.

seems to be getting interesting now ....

I understand the sentiment, the goal is firstly to increase bitcoin adoption and raise community involvement. Secondly, we also then want to get exposure for our site, as well as publicity for other bitcoin companies. We therefore only have one "valuable" treasure which was co-sponsored by TGBEX (so we can raise awareness of their product too).

We feel that the fact there is only one treasure still accomplishes our above goals.

I am not a supporter of sig campaigns, not necessarily the concept, but more the result (companies competing for advertising space indirectly encouraging spam posts).

I hope our approach is recognised as "different" and everyone enjoys the Treasure Hunt.

Look at it the same you would as building a puzzle. There is no fun in someone else building it and you just come and complete the last piece.... You haven't really built the puzzle and there is no real satisfaction.

Yeah you are right.

I am very happy with the existing workings of the game. ONly I missed out the beginning since I was not aware of the discussions here in the thread.

Père Lachaise Cemetery ?

Can you confirm this is not the answer to the second clue?

I also want to know whehter it is not New Lanark. I don't remember now how I connected it.

I can confirm that it is not. (keep an eye on the first post of the thread, all the wrong answers are updated there periodically.)

It wasn't likely to be the answer. I was guessing it will be a cemetery too.

I should have thought it would be in Asia. But then, there are not many cemeteries there, right?

Edit:
In the 1980s, a grave of an Eleanor Rigby was "discovered" in the graveyard of St. Peter's Parish Church in Woolton?

Is it Cairo?

Can it be cities or just cemeteries?

A "City" would be too broad an answer. Who said it was just cemeteries?

[Wendigo]

Pearl Harbor maybe?

[The Young Turk]

is it  Tilsit, East Prussia (now Lithuania)?

[The Young Turk]

river Tagus near the City of Toledo, Spain maybe?

The contest seemed to have an obsession with cemeteries and computer science.
