Hey guys this is quiz time!
You will be able to withdraw 1 BTC, if you are the first, to find the private key. This is no joke, just check, I transferred right before 1 BTC to this address. The winner please post that you were first, upvotes welcome ;-)
I will split into parts.
First Part: QR code
Second Part: Blowfish
Cipher block chaining Blowfish encrypted with the first part as a key:
fCWBLoeH6/o=
Third Part: Binary
In Binary:
01101110011101110101001101000010011011110111101001001110011011110111000001000101010100110101101000110010
Fourth Part: Find the characters
Find the following characters. Numbers counting as words, capital and non capital letters as they appear.
W = Word, L = Letter
In this very article (first chapter):
W21, L3
W3, L2
W27, L2
W48, L3
In the Bible (ESV):
Ezekiel 1:9 W6, L1
Ezekiel 7:26 W1, L1
Ezekiel 14:14 W22, L3
Corinthians 10:25 W1, L1
Fifth part: Shifting Characters
From the previous key parts take the character on the position P and go X further though the alphabet (negative means backwards). Leave the capitalization as it is.
P9, X+2
P4, X+3
P6, X-1
P31, X+0
P2, X-5
P5, X+8
Sixth part: Translating Words
First characters of the english words. Bold means the character should be capitalized, normal not.
Beware. There could be more words with that meaning. Try google translate :-)
German: Jahr
Italian: chitarra
Spanish: flecha
Frensh: se leva
Russian: разбавить
Seventh part: another Format?
Ok this is the rest of the private key. Somehow the format changed. This was only 7 characters. Don't know, why they are double now? Do you know why? :-)

I got similar (but not the same results)
Part 1: 5KXNaH
Part 2: X2Uf5w
Part 3: nwSBozNopESZ2
Part 4: niovEDgE (we differ here, i think i may have used wrong text/version of bible?)
Part 5: switching based on above
Part 6: YgARd (I had translation as Year. I think you put Jahr "J" by mistake)
Part 7: RoY8dJp I converted the string from hexadecimal
My result:
5GXQiGX2Wf5wnwSBozNopESZ2niovEDgEYgARdRoY8dJp
Hopefully the real key is posted soon so we can see where we went wrong :)

So far no one has come forth as the winner, and timotirado hasn't posted mentioned that someone cracked the code. This was fun though. I did some and learned things that I probably wouldn't have otherwise, especially as it pertains to the inner workings of cryptotech. Pretty cool on that note, kinda like a treasure hunt.

blowfish.decrypt('fCWBLoeH6/o=', '5KXNaH', {cipherMode: CBC, outputType: string});
output: "CÔ>vS"
I can't understand what i'm doing wrong. Please, when someone get this BTC to write here to all who want to learn - how he did that.

No idea wich library you use and wich parameter sequence you need. maybe the other way around?

I've tried 4 online decryption tools. All of them shows me different results.
Should the result be clear string without special chars?
And is this the plain text "fCWBLoeH6/o=" or it is the result?

@lioliomir the given string is the encrypted result. The key is the previous part. make sure, that you use the right character format.

you can for example add it to blockchain.info wallet. Hopefully you have the right one. As I said, you may have to check again, if you made a mistake or the translation can also be another word.
