$1 Million Bitcoin Puzzle “Satoshi’s Treasure”

in #bitcoin6 years ago

A mysterious $1 Million Bitcoin Puzzle “Satoshi’s Treasure” has been discovered. A private key has been split up into several pieces using a technique called ‘Shamir Sharding’.

The puzzle apparently came from space through the Bitcoin satellite. I don’t know what to think about satellites, but that is a wholeee other subject..

Apparently some Bitcoin user (@grubles on Twitter) was listening to the blockstream satellite and said he received the message.. I guess you have to find 400 of the 1,000 pieces and that will allow you to build the private key..

Count me out but it sounds cool. Is this a scam? possibly because the public address has not be reviled and who knows if there is actually $1 million dollars worth of BTC in this wallet. A Public key would make this much more interesting.

A venture fund called "Primitive Ventures" has claimed responsibility for this puzzle and apparently they have a pretty good reputation.

That being said, the market is up 2.8% (that's an extra $28,000 as of today)

Primitive Ventures gave three GPS coordinates where were found three QR codes with a word.

The first code was found yesterday with the word 'orbital' and scanning this code brought them to https://satoshistreasure.xyz/k1 and this led them to three more shards...

Other QR codes bring you to https://satoshistreasure.xyz/k2 https://satoshistreasure.xyz/k3 https://satoshistreasure.xyz/k4 and so on..

This guy found out that the following shards were in encrypted right into the browser.. I'm no dev.. but if you are.. maybe some brute-force attack on the text entry box with every word in existence would find the remaining 397 words?

Go in a $1 Million USD of BTC
