Thank you! I'm so happy everything worked out. Pretty thrilled to close this chapter. I know there were many people who spent a lot of time on this puzzle. I appreciate everyone who was a part of this journey. The upcoming years of bitcoin are going to be very exciting, I'm looking forward to where this road leads.

I've found myself surrounded by some amazing talent because of these puzzles. It's turned out to be somewhat of a recruiting process! And with these friends I've gained over the years, we've enjoyed building other puzzles and starting this new indie game studio. If you haven't heard about it, this is my latest project: neondistrict.io. We have an easter egg puzzle with 15 ETH created by our lead game developer. The puzzle begins on the footnotes of the white paper https://s3.amazonaws.com/neon-district/NDWhitePaper.pdf. Some have gathered on ND discord to work together on the challenge, https://discord.gg/As654jg.

Many of the friends I've made during these puzzles have gone on to become active contributors to the success of bitcoin. I'm humbled to be amongst such great company.  

Some notes about the puzzle, yes the chessboard dimensions and the knight's tour were red herrings. Yes, there was the symbol of Œ on the queen piece for Phœnix. And there are many other forgotten details that Rob and I chuckled about these past couple of days while we were chatting with the journalist. Most of those were omitted, but I'll leave those to your imaginations. However, it was true that the painting subjects were a tribute to the poem, as it ends as a prayer for the two birds, and leaves the reader uncertain of what comes next. This was a very powerful poem for me at the time that I created this puzzle, as I too, was sighing a prayer during the process. Amazing how dramatically things can change in a few years. I wish you all the best!
