Now, I am exactly 4 big steps ahead of you all. I'm stuck, and this is why I'm here. I don't know how far I am from solving, I think 2 or 3 more steps before knowing exactly how to fully decode flames, which surely (as many of you have rightly understood) they have what we are looking for.

What are we searching for?
I have read many times that 1FLAMEN6 is a "vanity" address, so the flames "couldn't" be the private key because when they were drawn (more than 2 years ago) the bitcoin address with the prize was different. Is it right? So, what do we expect to find?

So instead of bragging, share whatever you have, like all of us did, or... stop bragging about it.
