The artist announced via a Twitter update that she released a new    cryptographic image hiding a key to 4.87 bitcoins. Her \"crypto    art\" has created a frantic fever of excitement among    professional and amateur cryptographers alike. Reddit communities and Bitcoin Talk forums have sprung up as people    collaborate, trying to solve these insanely complex    cryptographic riddles.  <\/p>\n<p>    This is Driscoll's third cryptographic painting in her series,    \"The Legend of Satoshi Nakamoto,\" who is considered by some to    be the mysterious father of Bitcoin. For a glimpse into how    difficult Driscoll's puzzles can be, take a look at this    34-page report which divulges the    complicated steps necessary to solve the key to her previous    puzzle in the series.  <\/p>\n<p>    4.87 bitcoins is only about $1400 USD, so these teams of    decoders are more interested in the actual puzzle itself than    the money that comes along with it. Let's not forget that the    bragging rights that one would get from solving something like    this would trump almost any amount of money.  <\/p>\n<p>    Driscoll has been surprised by the frenzied response to her    puzzles, stating she, \"didn't anticipate how emotionally    attached people would become to the puzzles.\" She also believes    her crypto art puzzles are some of the \"new, innovative ways we    can educate the public regarding Bitcoin, cryptography and    blockchain technology.\"  <\/p>\n<p>    Her latest puzzle has yet to be solved and has no deadline, so    if your cryptography skills are up to the task you can join in    help untangle the complicated code.  <\/p>\n<p>    Source: Venture Beat  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Excerpt from:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/crack-the-code-to-find-4-87-hidden-bitcoins-in-artists-image-10378328\" title=\"Crack the code to find 4.87 hidden bitcoins in artist\u2019s image\">Crack the code to find 4.87 hidden bitcoins in artist\u2019s image<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Lindsey Caldwell Artist Marguerite Driscoll has created a fever in the cryptography community as she has launched her latest Bitcoin puzzle in the form of an intriguing mix of art and cryptography. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1600],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30412","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cryptography"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30412"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30412"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30412\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30412"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30412"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30412"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
