Chance to Win A Bitcoin by Just solving this picture Puzzle.
The given image was posted earlier this week on the Bitcoin subreddit by new user cryptogreetings, who informed excited readers that one whole Bitcoin (currently worth $8300) was up for grabs for whoever could figure it out. At face value, the image is a word cloud of words and numbers taken from Bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakomoto’s whitepaper, all different sizes and overlapping each other.
The words “blocks”, “transaction,” “attacker” can be seen among dozens of others, with the Bitcoin symbol superimposed on top, creating a white area.
The Redditor said about this image-
“This work is comprised of Satoshi Nakamoto’s famous whitepaper words, scaled by Log N. Disparate ideas inspired Satoshi to create a solution to revolutionize modern socio-economics and industry. The work reflects on the elements that brought this technology to life, and challenges the underlying security model. Hidden in plain sight lies something more: a treasure hunt. 1 BTC is concealed within the work.”
The poster did link a Bitcoin address(https://blockchain.info/address/37XTVuaWt1zyUPRgDDpsnoo5ioHk2Da6Fs) containing poster linked a Bitcoin address with 1.00152389 BTC in it, with the extra amount of roughly $12 likely aimed to cover fees.
“Some stuff I noticed so far:
- Some words start with a capital, when other words dont.
- Many words and math, but some letters just stand alone. You can find a C, W, M. Some digits are single as well
- There’s a number crossed out by some icon on the bottom right of the big Bitcoin B. I don’t know if or what that icon
means though. - There’s quite a bit of open space in the top right corner, given how filled the rest of the image is.
- Some numbers make sense as a part of math or whitepaper references. But the longer numbers make no sense to me, they are not dates or references to the whitepaper, like 19981101″
“Here are the most frequently used words in the Whitepaper:
transaction 69 block 67 hash 33 nod 31 chain 27 attacker 23 network 21 proof-of-work 18 owner 17 work 16 coin 16 one 15 honest 15 public 14 timestamp 14 trust 14 key 13 without 12 new 12 system 11 party 11 ne 11 probable 11 accept 10 value 9 cpu 9 z 9 k 9 longest 8 merkle 8 next 8 catch 8 p 8 header 8 nonce 8 problem 8 time 8 power 7 signature 7 proof 7 verify 7 prev 7 make 7 long 7 node 7 link 7 sender 7 majority 7 payment 7 q 6
If you save the image you get the image name as NdLEoUJCqNLlZFQBKEr7lxTK-PKQjqi5FtBM8k5lqs8
Remember me if you crack this code ;-)
An important clue came from u/cryptogreetings themselves. When u/mishax1 stated that “there are 239 BIP39 seed words in that picture,” the original poster said “you can throw at least half of those out. This is clue #1.” When asked for more clues, u/cryptogreetings was cryptic, saying that perhaps hints could be dropped in the future if the task proved difficult. They also revealed that 1 BTC was the first prize, but not the only one.
So now you can also try to solve this riddle. May be you are a winner.
