So this means only a computer genius that eats programs who can solve it? Lucky for you guys to crack it as it has huge rewards waiting to be claimed. I wonder if there were puzzles out there that does not require any computer skills just to crack it. Someone like me will surely cannot solve puzzles like this. 32BTC is a lot of money maybe I will have to find ways to participate and this is fun because the odds of me cracking it is so high maybe thousand times. 😅

Another puzzle that doesn't require any computer skills.

Throughout the video you heard and saw the scrambled characters. Quite a few people were on the right path. 1,2,3,10,33,45 and the last character.

The total scrambled characters for this puzzle was 8. Now before the wankers start to cry because it was like 40,320 different variations. It was also a little lesson in it. Our group conversation was the friend of the new user or anyone unfamiliar with compressed key formatting. Experienced user had a leg up on the first 2 characters.

The lesson here is, compressed keys currently start with K or L. Since this key did not have a L, we know it started with K. (now 7 scrambled characters) The following character would have to be an x, y or z (second lesson) and once you had the correct scrambled characters, process of elimination says its has to be y (an x or z was not scrambled) Now only 6 characters - 720 variations.



A bit confused on how we were supposed to unscramble the key.

Did the 1,2,3,10,33,45.. refer to the count on your fingers in the video? If that was the case, how did the shift work from there?

Thank you.
