In "EOS Treasure Hunt", Treasure Wallet Gets Fatter Everyday

in #eos5 years ago (edited)

About 10 days back, CPU Emerrgency co-founder Chaney Moore came up with this EOS Treasure Hunt.

Chaney Moore had recently won a PIXEOS challenge where he deciphered the private key to a wallet worth $750. In an attempt to pay it forward, he created this challenge for EOS wallet thesecretkey.

If you can discover the private key to thesecretkey, all the tokens in it is yours!

This EOS account was initially funded with 50 EOS and several tokens on EOS platform. But today, it's worth more than $5000.

This puzzle now has dozens of partners who keep releasing some clue for figuring out its private key. Partners also keep loading their tokens in addition to what the wallet already has.

Now this puzzle has become a great tool to promote EOS blockchain and projects using it.

In addition to 50 EOS (worth about $180), the account has following 17 tokens worth over $5000 as on today:

A few hours ago, UXfyre.io donated 1001 FYRE tokens to thesecrekey making the plunder more enticing.

But figuring its private key is a tough nut to crack. An EOS private key has 51 alpha-numeric characters. However there are several clues to it, which different partners keep releasing at different times but only an EOS Guru who is very passionate in solving enigmas can probably get it.

For those interested, here are the clues released thus far:
