I saw there was still a bitcoin puzzle going on I figured I would take a crack at it. Here is the research I have done so far

There is one old still unsolved crypto puzzle which hides private key to the bitcoin address which holds 5 BTC that is over 45000$. That riddle was posted on the twitter over 2 years ago - https://twitter.com/coin_artist/status/583979278238359552 and no one was able to solve it, maybe you can? Here are some links which you might need

Hint: 4.87 btc has to do with the horizontal size. Try to create a QR code.

Isn’t that an alice in wonderland reference? Yep it’s from Alice in Wonderland in 1951

Kinda looks like the Genesis block

So Legend of Satshoi is the name of the puzzle? Like a wonderland? Chess game? Oh and WR or White Rabbit. Just like the new cicada 3301 stuff

I received this tweet this morning - it appears to be related to this post. https://twitter.com/TR3N47Y/status/506830281064468481

Just a little bit of research:

If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be, it would. Take a W@@@lk with me. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see? 1follow me

is a quote from the alice in wonderland (1951) movie

Quote
If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?

source: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0043274/quotes

Again after "isn't. And contrary" in code directly below each other:

Code:
wise, what is, it wouldn't be, it would. Take a W@@@lk with me. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see? 1follow me
-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?

Apparently it goes under your skin (at least for some)

Take a W@@@lk with me and 1follow me stand out besides the differences in punctuation...

1follow me might hint towards a bitcoin address, searched it, ended up on twitter aaand Im out

Enjoy the rabbit hole

Our friend TR3N47Y--who we can assume is the MP of our puzzle since he was the one who invited us all down the rabbithole--has 3 friends on Twitter that I assume are his aliases or collaborators: @PO347, @N3v4Le7, and @Xavi3rM4x7. He sure does like the number sequence 3, 4, 7 Smiley

In brackets at the end of the puzzle clue are, yes, 3, 4, 7. The x's in the brackets (after the link to the genesis block) occur at 3, 4, 7, 9, 12, 16, 30, 37, 43, 48, 51, 55, 59, 65. 67 contains a dash. Then the "3", "4", "7". (not sure if i've numbered the brackets correctly because I don't know if the [altered] Lewis Carroll quote should be included in the count). And someone please doublecheck my counting of the brackets, please.

Are we looking for a bitcoin (or altcoin) address? The bounty? I like Shorena's idea that "1follow" may be a clue to an address. [And, Shorena, please don't bow out!!]

Could the extra characters in the Twitter aliase names lead to anything (subtracting the 347)? PO NvLe XavirMx (not necessarily in that order)

More on those Twitter aliases: @PO347's earliest tweet was "Negative Ghost Rider the pattern is full... #347." Which was retweeted and favorited by @N3v4Le7 (whose Twitter name btw is n3v4 gon le7 u down--uh oh, is this just a rickroll?).

If this puzzle leads anywhere, here's more Twitter info FWIW:

Today, @TR3N47Y retweeted @PO347 "Away we soar, away we fly. Bringing freedom, before we die. #347"

@PO347 has this quote in his Twitter profile header: "in the silence of your bones and eyes forgotten magic sits and waits for fire" (from Robert Montgomery)

@Xavi3rM4x7 has in his Twitter description a quote from Percy Bysshe Shelley's "The Masque of Anarchy": "Rise like Lions after slumber In unvanquishable number - Shake your chains to earth like dew Which in sleep had fallen on you Ye are many - they are few."

Well, if that's all I do on this puzzle, at least I had the chance to revisit a great Shelley poem..

I googled "Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is,", without the quotes, and got a couple of both:

"contrary wise, what is, it" example
"contrary-wise; what it is it" example

OP can be based on the "unofficial" version, being the difference:
"it would. Take a W@@@lk with me. "
" 1follow me"

If the ideia is to draw a blockchain:

GEN = Genesis Block
numbers = block height
MSG = message

-=[GEN]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[3]=-=[4]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[7]=-=[]=-=[9]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[12]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[16]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[30]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[37]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[43]=-=[]=-=[]*

• chain seems broken right before the msg, so I "forked" and restarted count

-=[MSG]=-=[]=-=[2]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[5]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[9]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[13]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[19]=-=[]=-=[-]=-=[3]=-=[4]=-=[7]=-=[

Also that strange block with "-" and the 347, can be a signature, or some kind of sequence of x's positions.
If so, you could even complete the blockchain, at least until you find the message, where the chain breaks, getting something like:

-=[MSG]=-=[]=-=[2]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[5]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[9]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[13]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[]=-=[19]=-=[]=-=[-]=-=[3]=-=[4]=-=[7]=-=[9]=-=[12]=-=[16]=-=[30]=-=[37]=-=[43]=- ...

Or not...

then click any recipient on the big list, doesn't matter which one, I picked one at random -->

https://blockchain.info/address/13vs7FtkeaT4Qd3SWz2ZVJqVot1znzMRtv
scroll down to the mirror transaction, click the sending address -->

https://blockchain.info/address/1LsGQV6DvhR1RuK9KX7GkLiGcQ7CEXrZN8
Aha, interesting binary transaction amounts. We know from the last ARG puzzle that the OP communicated to us in binary through the bitcoin amounts (for example, 0.00010001) (which was totally cool!) -->

https://blockchain.info/address/1TLSNYAx5P6Yjie3cF97fZh9U4B5UZ7PF
Aha 1 fat bitcoin! And another binary clue? The last puzzle began by leading to an address with, I believe, 1 bitcoin (or was it more?).

Is this address the starting bitcoin bounty?

If the amounts are clues, I have no idea how to convert them.... That's out of my league.

More: look more closely at the 1FoLLow page with the "Follow the white rabbit" clues embedded in the inputs. The full message reads:

Thank you game master for the high res picture !!!

This new tweet give us many information about the puzzle. We now have the answer to the following questions (as I see it).

1 The private key is only in the painting or also in the digital file ? There is nothing to extract from the digital file, all the information needed are inside the painting (because we have the .jpg and .tif version of the file). I spent time looking for the DCT coefficients histogram in the jpeg file which is useless, there was nothing strange but I wasn't 100% sure, now I have the answer.

2 I had the feeling that some text was hidden in the painting, for example, bottom right of the picture, in the jpeg file you can see a "2" in the Grec symbol. I also had the feeling that some text was hidden in a ray of light coming from the keyhole. Thanks to the .tif file I now know that there is no such text in the picture. The "2" is just a JPEG artifact and the text in the ray of light are just brush stroke. So to answer the question one person had on twitter, I don't think there were details we couldn't see in the .jpg file, just things we could overthink.
