In the image to the left is embedded a private key to a wallet containing 1.337 ETH (worth about $1,600 right now). It's not encrypted, but it is well hidden with a nice scheme.
It's all yours if you can crack the image.
Don't know where to get started? Learn Python and PIL.
In case the image is lossy compressed by Sup Forums, here's an alternative upload: images2.imgbox.com

Could you not post this at 3am next time?
maybe I don't like yanks ;)
rubiks cubes are so boring and eth is so worthless
like why
At least I know how to use toothpaste.
Oh and when you do solve it, you can lemme know by posting a MD5 hash of the entire encoded message (DON'T just post a hash of the private key). I'll know when you have.
Why would we let you know? All I care about is the ETH.
its probably the fucking marine copypasta or some shit
for fun; you don't have to let me know if you don't want
once you solve it, move the ETH to a different address; and then I'll post the solution
bump for visibility (and competition lol)
Interested but not willing to participate
any reason its 900x900 if every 50 lines are the same
Inb4 there exist no unique solution. And how the fuck do you even know if you find it if it's a bunch of random bytes?
they are arrays of values you have to arbitrarily solve for, integrate, and then compute the eigenvalues for against size-of(eth_key)
the colors are the only thing that matters
it's not just the ETH key; that'd make impossible to solve because any sequence of random bytes is a valid private
there's a hidden English message there. In one of the sentences is the private key (in plaintext).
After two hours of sleep I’ll solve it.

Clearly it's hidden in that light green square.
seems legit
Uh-huh. So I linearize the data in a bunch of ways and apply frequency analysis, after which it becomes trivial to map characters to bytes. I win, but all I find is that **you lost the game**.
Meant to spoiler that but you get the idea. You're not fooling anyone, there is no prize.
ok you can stop playimg
to others: that isn't the message (the message is over 250 chars long)
how is this a programming challenge? learning PIL gets you nowhere closer to the actual solution and you could easily use any tool to extract data from this image.
all i can see is each pixel is either r, g, or b (which isnt even 2 bits of information) and then you have 8 bits from the respective colour itself. obviously if you specified PIL you probably just jacked some hipster code from github and decided it was a good idea to post here
All I see is grey and black
Just by the fact of boasting crypto I know you're not rich, so you wouldn't waste $1600 on something that's crackable on modern hardware and half decent cryptography knowledge within minutes, it's either a joke or literately impossible by design. Either way it's obviously bait that exists solely to stroke your ego, don't expect anyone to get busy on it. You may have better luck on plebbit though.
Trying to get us to stop solving this problem so you can do it with out any competition. I THINK NOT WE WON'T BUY IN TO YOUR LIES
Am I on good track here op?

Yes keep going
ROT13
Every colors appears either 1, 2, 3 or 4 times
This is what I found so far:
> 18 x 18 = 324 squares
> 212 different colors
>each color appears 1-4 times
>each color has only one color component (R/G/B) the others two are always 0
Feel free to continue from here
Also
>repeated 4 times: 3 colors
>repeated 3 times: 19 colors
>repeated 2 times: 65 color
>repated 1 time: 124 colors
In the image to the left is embedded a private key to a wallet containing 1.488.666 ETH (worth about $11,295,1245.4441123 right now). It's not encrypted, but it is well hidden with a nice scheme.
It's all yours if you can crack the image.
Thank you
I found the private key
Now I can finally rule the entire world and kill chinks while doing it
Throw us a bone OP
Post the wallet address and a signed message of proof
I discovered the private key: goatse
he won't because this is a shitty LARP thread
