Nice story. I was expecting some sort of steganography in the actual bits of the image. Really cool how the author was able to encode binary in the actual content of the painting rather than the pixels themselves.
Damn, I remember spending 3 or 4 hours on this some months ago. Apparently I had everything that was needed to get the key, except considering the width a variable...
Upon closer inspection of the painting, I am still unable to decide whether some of the flames are actually wide or narrow.
IMHO all references to how much of a crypto-asset someone owns should be in reference to the total BTC (or the names of the smaller units), otherwise it's just feeding into purposeful misappropriation of the word currency.
It's really good to see when someone say something like "told me in telegram chat".
Looks like telegram is getting acceptance in spite of all those blames it is getting

Kind of figured the key was a literal key and could throw enough python at it to get somewhere but unfortunately not the right somewhere.
