Awesome! I had trouble being convinced that narrow/wide flames were a data stream since some flames seemed ambiguous to me, but turns out it was! That's where I spun off, sadly. Really fun puzzle, and honestly it came to be an iconic cryptocurrency puzzle that gave people a lot of enjoyment and knowledge. You should be really proud coinartist!

Thank you! I'm so happy everything worked out. Pretty thrilled to close this chapter. I know there were many people who spent a lot of time on this puzzle. I appreciate everyone who was a part of this journey. The upcoming years of bitcoin are going to be very exciting, I'm looking forward to where this road leads.

I've found myself surrounded by some amazing talent because of these puzzles. It's turned out to be somewhat of a recruiting process! And with these friends I've gained over the years, we've enjoyed building other puzzles and starting this new indie game studio. If you haven't heard about it, this is my latest project: neondistrict.io. We have an easter egg puzzle with 15 ETH created by our lead game developer. The puzzle begins on the footnotes of the white paper https://s3.amazonaws.com/neon-district/NDWhitePaper.pdf. Some have gathered on ND discord to work together on the challenge, https://discord.gg/As654jg.

Many of the friends I've made during these puzzles have gone on to become active contributors to the success of bitcoin. I'm humbled to be amongst such great company.

Some notes about the puzzle, yes the chessboard dimensions and the knight's tour were red herrings. Yes, there was the symbol of on the queen piece for Phnix. And there are many other forgotten details that Rob and I chuckled about these past couple of days while we were chatting with the journalist. Most of those were omitted, but I'll leave those to your imaginations. However, it was true that the painting subjects were a tribute to the poem, as it ends as a prayer for the two birds, and leaves the reader uncertain of what comes next. This was a very powerful poem for me at the time that I created this puzzle, as I too, was sighing a prayer during the process. Amazing how dramatically things can change in a few years. I wish you all the best!

Can you shed some light on the mystery I proposed above?

Yes, the solver left something for others to find.

Of all the answers I expected, I'll admit that that wasn't one of them. Given that we're at a crossroad and you're a truth teller, please provide proof of such since obviously you're in the know. If Isaac supposedly lives in a country that highly frowns on the trading of crypto according to his testimony, I find it highly unlikely that he opted to create additional paper trails in advancing a riddle et al. so that whatever authorities can eventually isolate his identity.

That said, are you still sticking to your story?

Quote

According to the biblical Book of Genesis, Isaac (/ˈaɪzək/; Hebrew: יִצְחָק‬, Modern Yiṣḥáq Tiberian Yiṣḥāq; Arabic: إسحٰق/إسحاق‎, Isḥāq) was the son of Abraham and Sarah and father of Jacob; his name means "he will laugh", reflecting when Sarah laughed in disbelief when told that she would have a child.

Convenient that you tweeted the above after I posted my "mystery" post and your reply, eh?

Im not going to just say what it is. Its something that was there all along. And the solver decided to leave it for someone else. I dont know why youre insisting that I ruin the mystery. Its not a big deal, and someone will eventually stumble on it. Or they wont.
