Maybe you are right. Maybe you know all of the secrets to this image and for some reason decided not to move the BTC to another address. I doubt it, though. I get the impression that you are nay-saying anything that is outside of the path you think might be correct out of hubris. Either that or you want to demoralize others, throw red herrings, troll, or some combination.

Welcome to the puzzle. You have very interesting ideas, don't let feedo blow the wind out of your sails, he's just bitter he hasn't solved the puzzle yet.

What exactly do you mean by that? Are you referring to the freenode ##paintingsolvers  group on http://webchat.freenode.net/ that has been previously mentioned elsewhere? Is it what you mean by your off site?


I tried joining the chatroom several times and it was empty.

I feel that I tried so many combinations that by this point it's considered brute-forcing  Grin

How about we invert the image like this:

On the key the ribbons would read 010110 which is 16 in hex. That would mean the key we are looking for is in hexadecimal.

omg! i've discovered where is the start point of those fucking flames!
W@@@k with me, 1follow me, 1 from me, all of them mean the same thing that the first flame is from the rabbit head (there are three starting flames above the rabbit head @@@ forming 011 (every flame with outer red is 0 and with yellow is 1) and with the next 2 flames following we have 011010

then when we finish all those inner flames we continue to the outer flames and the first 6 flames are also 011010 !!

see my counting order of flames here:
https://imgur.com/a/ncQ6q

if we add the length data then we have 304 bits:

without the length data: (152 bits):
[Start of the first 6 inner flames]0110100100011010011111111010001000111000011110101000111100011101000000010100011 0000101100111110101[start of the first 6 outer flames]011010101100100110011100001110011110100010100111000100

with the length data: (304 bits):
0111100110000011000101101101100101101011111111101101110101001101000111101101010 1011010111001100010010101101010110000011011110111010001010101011001110101011010 0101010010011110010110111011110011011000111100100110011110010110010010100100111 11001010101111010010011101010011101010010011001011010010100100101

(we could also add the length data in the second round after we finish the first round with colours in order to keep that 011010 order in the inner and outer flames)

THATS WHY THE RABBIT IS HERE TO LEAD US .... 1FOLLOW ME, 1 FROM ME, W@@@K WITH ME
THOSE THREE @@@ REFER TO THE FIRST 3 FLAMES FACING THE RABBIT HEAD (011)
OUTER RED IS 0 (THE SAME COLOUR OF THE RIBBONS & THAT KEY HOLE O REFER TO O)
OUTER YELLOW IS 1

THE EYE OF THE RABBIT POINTS TO THE FIRST FLAME!


We have ourselves a flame believer!

Also, for the person who suggested the rabbit takes up 32 tiles..., it does. I went through and grabbed every possible character from the tile.  I was left with a string of 64 hex characters that I began to permute, after running all night and generating a 44gb text file containing ~601million keys, the program had only gone through permuting something like 10 or 11 out of the 64 characters in the string.Then i stopped, far to much to deal with for just a random guess.

One of the rules of the previous puzzle was "Thou shall not brute force". I went down that route and stopped. The solution should be simpler than that.

I can't see anything because the album is only viewable by you. Use imgur.com for easily sharing images. I've also found some letters and arrows in the images I shared above. I would love to see your findings.

Hello all,

the previous puzzle was solved by collaboration, on this one people are reluctant to share information. I've only looked at the puzzle for a couple of days, but in the spirit of the previous puzzle, I will share what I have found.

Bringing the brightness of the image to a minimum and adding lots of contrast will make some parts of the image glow:

https://imgur.com/a/MuBr8

The rabbit has shown you this by posting an image with an overblown brightness. I do not know yet what it means, but it's interesting nonetheless.

Part of the original clues was a quote from "Alice in Wonderland" and a big theme in that book is following the white rabbit. Whoever denies that there is a rabbit in that picture is delusional or trying to misdirect other people. Interestingly the rabbit occupies or touches 32 squares. Giving those squares coordinates would result in a string with the length of 64 or a private key written in hex. But what is the order in which to read them and what are the coordinates?

Using 0-9 and A-F seems to work and would generate a valid hex string, but what about the order?

The spirals in the corner have a direction for the upper part and a reverse direction for the lower part. The rabbit seems to be torn in half by the vine, almost symmetrically. 17 squares on the lower half, 15 on the upper half. I tried reading the bits using these patterns, but they failed.

The fact that the bitcoin address is a vanity one tells us the bits are random, so I guess reading them in a certain order is not possible. So that route is dead.

There are also letters scattered about on the painting. Arrows also. Found at least 3 of them. The last image in the imgur collection will have them.

Good luck to you all and a big thank you to the creator, it's been an interesting couple of days.
