Off flame ramblings follow:

It's time well spent going back through this thread a couple times (long though it may be) and seeing for example that:

1) The Phoenix and the Turtle poem was referenced in post #338 on April 5th, 2015

Based on what I have read regarding previous challenges, ytcoin_artist doesn't give hints but does let people know if they are on the right track and confirmed found clues to previous ARG challenges. The fact that she tweeted a section of the poem might be to say "you found this clue but didn't think it was the next step, look again" I couldn't find her giving any hints or clues aside from this one...

2) The skinny inner flame data channel was detailed in post #404 possibly before that as well, then re-discovered recently by smracer. This game has gone on so long that people have forgotten what was tried, abandoned, rediscovered etc.


BitcoinArbiter in post #400 posted a link to some of Rob Myers work https://robmyers.org/blockchain-aesthetics/

It would seem that coin_artist and Rob Myers are tight collaborators

His blockchain-aesthetics code was done around the time this painting was created

some of the code has instructions to "draw" blockchain transactions using "turtle graphics"

I am not a programmer, perhaps someone with better skills can use the code here: https://github.com/robmyers/blockchain-aesthetics/

and make the turtle graphics code examine and draw the transactions done on the 1FLAME address like this one?


Just delving back into the crazy...
