Hello,
This puzzles are really good, I spent a lot of time with trying to solve but without a positive results yet.
I want to share one of my point of view that You can use to solve this riddle by yourself;
1. Open ->
https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/convert-sentence-equivalent-mobile-numeric-keypad-sequence/2. Scroll down and at the bottom look for section "48" in C++ with "string input" and remove this word "GEEKSFORGEEKS"
3. Between " " put Your random words e.g "PHEMEXBTCETHXRP" OR "ETCPHEMEXBTCXRP" and above all numbers on the left side click Play button to get a result
4. In the section "Output" You should get 27-digit number, to make sure it is go to this page ->
https://www.lettercount.com/, paste the results and check.
And if You have 27-digit number You are at the 50% of the road for 2.1 BTC but now I'm really don't know what should I do with that number next, so...
Good luck!
