“The crypto analyst contest in which bitcoin is hidden in art is an adventure journey,” details the Bitcoin Quest ad. “Participants show their analytical skills by examining the details of a large image. The participants’ goal is to find the words and compile a bitcoin seed. It has 14 words and allows access to the bitcoins kept at the winning addresses (13 of them + 3 Satochip) within the Electrum Bitcoin Wallet (PC version) ”, add the organizers.
Contest winners will be able to try to win 13 bitcoin art prizes worth $ 150 each and three Satochip hardware wallets. Satochip wallets will also feature an exclusive print from the 2021 Bitcoin Quest contest. Participants will also receive a “Bitcoin Quest Analyst Certificate” and, with this document, “no one will dare doubt their skills”, emphasized the contest’s creators.
In addition, the winners will be recorded immutably and recorded on a blockchain. “We are going to write a list of all the winners on the Ethereum blockchain,” notes the Bitcoin Quest announcement. “It will be available through the Eternal Note msgeth.com service or through Etherscan.io. A transaction ID will be added to the individual certificate. “
The contest was created to make people refine their knowledge of bitcoins and phrases from mnemonic seeds. Encryption skills are important and will be required, along with hardware and software, to participate in the latest mission. Users will need a Telegram account, knowledge of Electrum wallets, a computer, a large monitor and more. So, to start the search search process, the user needs to get the image of the Bitcoin Quest Telegram channels on January 21st onwards.

Bitcoin Quest is a pet project by Jeff Fawkes, also known as ‘Bitpainter’, an artist who has created art with bitcoin mnemonic seeds within great designs since 2017.
“I want to unite two of my great passions: art and cryptography,” said Fawkes. “That’s when the idea for the ‘Bitcoin Quest’ came about. It is a competition in which I make drawings with hidden bitcoin wallet seeds and you keep the BTC you find ”, concluded the artist.
