thanks for the reply i see now its not quite as free as i thought as it would be difficult to spend those sats, i guess it just another bitcoin mystery of sorts.

So I opened my wallet today and someone sent me two deposits of 0.00000546 btc
I am trying to identify who or why someone would send me btc randomly. my address is not posted anywhere online besides block explorers

The transaction is : 39b54f4e10800672a5f201cf3ff81d471274b4cff4d4423d35cf14eb4d2ff026

The weirder thing is he seems to send out thousands of transactions to active btc addresses.
Is this just generosity or something else?

It seems you have a lot of people professing they can solve your problem but the fact of the matter is that most ransomware viruses generate special keys per infected user usually something like (public key + master key) = decrypt files. most of the time the time these ransomware programs are impossible to decrypt unless there keys have been confiscated by authorities. I was surprised that google showed virtually nothing for igza4c as this seems to be there file extension. do you recall anything else around the time of infection such as a screen locker any relevant pictures or even a brand such as (coinvault) ?

well just so you are aware there are still 33 bcash coins left at "14UpfABacSUUM28gp8nb5BGbFS2aw2SMWR" worth 41,000 dollars

Nullius great project I wish you the best of luck

Just wanted to put this out there for window users looking to generate non-native segwit / native segwit vanity addresses
you can follow this guide "https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=229&v=YiMU_gtRrBQ" unfortunately the speed is slow
but if your a noob and have 0 linux experience like me it honestly wasn't that hard. It took me about 8 hours to generate the pattern a 4 letter pattern

this video might help you it explains how to make a raw transaction using btc. But most importantly it shows you how to use a "change" address with your transaction to avoid the super high miner fee.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWKuqP-zTFk

It doesn't seem possible for it to be decentralized.

If you were to go the DNA route you could do sha 256(DNA+password)
That would prevent problems with twins/DNA thieves

Dont know why but it seems the forum moderators are removing post that are congratulating the winner. so here it is again

anyone else see a rabbit/face

keep getting a "502 Bad Gateway" when I try to visit site

9 (000)short purple red    flames

26(110)long  green  red    flames
19(111)long  green  yellow flames
13(101)long  purple yellow flames

a little bit of what I was able to extract. maybe we should be focused on the small flames
I have tried brute forcing different combos of binary data to get any useful data but to no avail

I was looking at the key some more and 011010 is equal to 1A in hexadecimal. maybe that is where we should start on the "chess" board

Alot of solo people trying to solve it not sure on any teams but if you wanna trade ideas feel free to msg me.
I was originally looking for the pattern 011010 Because I figured the key would give us are starting point.
I ended up finding one for the outer right starting from top to bottom (inside color) 011010000001   1110010000000001   01110110   111010101101001001   (switch to inside flames) 100000100110111101001011   111100110010001110011101010110000   110111(LEAVES)1110001   0111001011010100001111000100   Unfortunately I could get no useful info from this text also i would like to add that maybe we are dealing with a Caesarian Shift since the image title is 1flamen6 here is a useful link for that http://rumkin.com/tools/cipher/caesar.php

Sold $500 dollars worth of btc, 6 payments came in totaling $500.
3 payments were put under review by PayPal but were released 24 hours later.
I am a happy customer.
