I have Satoshi's picture....please look.

in #bitcoin8 years ago (edited)

Here is a picture of Satoshi . It's one of two Perplexcity puzzle cards that hasn't been solved. ( Silver Edition, Card #256 - Billion to One: http://perplexcitycardcatalog.com/1/256/ ) The solution to the other is that it has no solution.

The guy in the picture has a code that he will hand to the person who finds him....let that be us!

The game has been discontinued....but there are some interesting relationships to bitcoin in some of the puzzles if you dig deeper into old forums archives. For example, card #251 - Silver - "The Thirteenth Labour" is particularly interesting because it seems to archive a history of the development of a distributed client to brute force a RC5-64 encryption key....somewhere in there they realize that they will have to figure out a recording mechanism so that the distributed clients don't waste resources recalculating keystrings that have already been calculated by other clients <----first blockchain ledger? (http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=14122)

Mysteriously, the game was discontinued just as these innovations were maturing. (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/gamesblog/2007/jun/04/perplexcitysh) The next year Satoshi Nakamoto published his white paper. (https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf) Coincidence? And, card #256 (256?) which states "find me" with a picture of a guy named Satoshi?

Let's find this guy....share, tweet, retweet, resteem....the more people who see the picture the better our chances of solving this puzzle....six degrees of separation?

wow! this is one of the most intriguing satoshi myths i've heard!

there's even a website dedicated to this:

Sweet....yes....there's a few of them. Did you look at the forum archive to see the relation to the bitcoin client....there aren't too many relating the two cards . http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=14122 It's an interesting coincidence....it seems they developed the first concept of the blockchain while solving card 251.
