In case anyone wanted to see how to solve it, I have written a python script using the solution posted here that decodes the flames.

You can test it here by copying and pasting the code into the online shell https://www.python.org/shell/

Hi,

How did you interpret the width channel?
See post #1410 for my problem (also quoted below).

The flame width mentioned by smracer in previous post is one of the 4 flames I had trouble with.

In fact, now that I see the output of your code, I also had the very first flame wrong, for me it is narrow.

Hello,

I just read the solution article and even with it I had troubles finding the private key. Either there are mistakes in the flame width channel or I did not understand which part of the flame is supposed to be narrow or wide.

I bruteforced the message I found with random permutations until it contained a valid WIF private key. I had 4 bits which did not match in the flame width channel. Here are the 4 flames to which they correspond.

I've written next to them what they are supposed to be, but I had the opposite value in my dataset. Can someone please explain why these flames are supposed to be narrow/wide? Especially why the two top ones are supposed to be narrow? Isn't it the width of the inner color which matters?

EDIT: the wrong flames were circled in the first posted image
