1. Good question...

2. It looks like the funds were moved into that address just a few days after this thread was updated. I don't think this discredits the possibility of finding a private key.

3. Yes to all of those, except maybe the text (I have not tried converting anything directly to text yet). I have generated many many, empty, addresses of various forms from data generated from the picture to no avail. Honestly though, I don't think we are simply just looking for a private key.

Thanks for reply.

Damn, it could be everything.

The whole image reminds me a QR Code, maybe the flames could supply all the bits needed to generate a QR Code with a private key inside or something else.
How many bits for a QR Code with a private key? 400?

389, without static data (3 squares 8x8 each, alignment pattern 5x5, and others) - with that you can encode 32bytes on a 25x25 QR, version 2, with L-level ECC.
