Re: The Legend of Satoshi Nakamato, FINAL STEP PUBLISHED.... 4.87 BTC GRAND PRIZE!
Hi ytcoinartist, I'm from the Pineapple Fund. I can't PM you, so I'm writing publicly. Hope you come across this!

Hello ytcoinartist!
I'm Pine from the Pineapple Fund, the largest cryptocurrency philanthropy project donating ~5000 BTC. The recent media articles reminded me of your puzzle that I came across years ago, and I'm curious if you'd be interested in a collaboration!
I'm sorry to see all the negativity and FUD on bitcointalk in regards to the puzzle, by the way.
For the remaining 100 BTC of the Pineapple Fund, I would like to leave it up to the community to choose which registered charities receive it. I was thinking of making a reddit post, but that is prone to being gamed.
A puzzle artwork could be created where a number of tokens are hidden in the image. 50 BTC of the last 100 BTC could be dedicated to the puzzle, and each token could say allow you to choose where 10 BTC goes. (It'll have to be a registered charity).
Alternatively, there could just be X different private keys of 1 BTC hidden inside, and who can solve the puzzles would be able to have a reward for themselves. It'd be an answer to all the people sending begging emails to the Pineapple Fund.
Let me know if you are interested in working on a collaboration! My email is contact@pineapplefund.org

This sounds like an amazing project. I have a team of professional puzzle makers who could help with this effort. I'll send you an email now. Thank you for reaching out, I love what you are doing at Pineapple Fund, it's incredibly inspiring.
Seriously? I'm seeking an honest team to develop a real-life 3-D puzzle. I've worked out most the particulars, ready to bring it to fruition. In fact, I even have an idea as to how it could be introduced on a popular TV show still running today, albeit a cut in profits may have to stem their way but such would no doubt increase sales several fold. A stretch, I know, but still worth a shot if possible and not really needed if the product is viable enough to stand on its own, marketed via conventional means. Also, the puzzle can readily be played on handheld devises as an APP or on PCs, thus working in concert with one another in advancing the project. As an APP, I truly envision it as addictive, with the same for the 3-D puzzle measuring ~6" square (no, it's not a Rubik's Cube). Back to the APP aspect, yes, a crypto token can easily be incorporated in the mix, thus allowing players to earn while playing.
You interested? If so, I'm willing to share everything as long as there's no chance of the idea being stolen from underneath me.

I have a huge project on my plate right now with Neon District. I have to be incredibly selective with projects that I take one right now with my team. But this channel is FULL of talent. There's plenty of people here that would be worth recruiting for projects. If you think you have a cool idea you should hit some of these people up to collaborate. That's all I've done over the years to build my team. I appreciate the offer tho! And it sounds interesting!!
Thanks kindly for the quick reply.
I forgot to mention that there's at least three levels of difficulty, at least three different puzzles to be purchased: moderately hard; very difficult; diabolical (just formulated in my mind a few minutes ago as to how this level could be created/achieved). The number of pieces is less than two dozen.
Since it looks like your plate is full (unless you reconsider), anybody else interested in teaming up? Before offering up your services, there is one caveat: I would need to know exactly whom I'm speaking with, thus would need to verify who you are.
Since I'm also interested in the other mystery of this puzzle: what is the relation between white rabbit and coin artist?, I have in mind some questions:
- There's a diagonal line at the phoenix wing, which seems to be drawn on purpose. To me it looks like the move of the waffle ( inverted knight ), also named phoenix in the shogi chess. The white rabbit instruction is to turn the picture according to that line.
- The WR always says time is short, he is late, for a very important date. What date is that?
- There's a website called 17leaves.com which at first the content looks like about yoga and spiritual stuffs. But if you investigate more in the blog, the time of events implied in it will point to an account named StephenMorse. This account is the first one who mention about using leet (1337/1347) to decode. And there's also an account named StephenM347 on bitcoin stack exchange. Is it a coincidence or does he have some relation to the cr347or?

If that's the case, perhaps the transaction on Dec. 14, 2017, was a clue of sorts, with even the date 12-14-17 chosen on purpose in making the transaction. Probably not, but still something to consider.
