That one looks interesting but it seems to be dead now (no activity whatsoever for 5 months on reddit), but the server is live and it is what counts Smiley

The server responses but its ssh responses changed during the course of the day today, as if they are constantly changing something.
Is anybody else trying to solve it maybe, even if it is a shared effort in between other puzzles - maybe we could create a dedicated thread (?)

I spent about two hours last night looking at that challenge. I ran all the commands I could across all the files and directories and saved a copy of all the files:

I wasn't able to get anywhere via SSH and I have no idea yet where this address comes from that someone on Reddit suggested is the one holding the coin: 1KWkDsv9VsdwsCWpJ2mu9R5AgUWgSPQHjf

I'd love to hear any thoughts that you are anyone else has.

OK, I'll share, why not? First of all, the address follows that path, but I am not sure why they are 100% positive it is the one. I think it may well not be THE address, but anyway, here is the path (and the path starting point is one of the addresses in /public/sql_out.txt):
  • 1GEbVB6X4bwQu2QCUNH7phuMAwmc2Jvmb8 
  • 1BgoUL3Mf8vDSDU4jjpFARKBJ6zPDpa4RU
  • 1AeRaPFTj3emEQPZjGDXBjhXKNQK8SkGaR 
  • 1N5L7AwQBiHP23sbLWfR1WtqBbr5FeiRoC 
  • 19RcXw9Pvg1sfF919YZLZUsgYnnh8yTufT 
  • 1KWkDsv9VsdwsCWpJ2mu9R5AgUWgSPQHjf

Also, note the executebles begin with Hex transliteration of "BIOS FOOD".

These are all my findings for now. I was not able to connect to SSH with the private key to any of the users listed on the server, either
