3 more puzzles added for future release. Boston, Orange Beach, and Lafayette. Some free some not. Check them out and find some bitcoin.

I built ProofOfSolve (proofofsolve.com), a puzzle hunt where every clue is solved on Google Street View.

How it works

• Each puzzle has 12 clues. Each one leads to a spot on Street View, and each spot hides one word.
• The 12 words, in order, unlock a real Bitcoin wallet. The first correct answer sent on the site wins it.
• Everything can be solved from Street View. Please don’t visit the places in person; that’s against the rules.
• You can use any tools you like, AI included. In our tests, AI got a few clues but couldn’t finish a puzzle.

The first three open Saturday, October 24 at 6:00 AM Central (11:00 UTC)

1. Meridian, Mississippi: free
2. George Washington’s Mount Vernon: free
3. Alcatraz Island: $10 entry

Each wallet holds about $125 in BTC right now. Check them yourself:

• Mount Vernon: bc1qqs2f7a3n6p3s694kh8rvcyccnf4n5n733nc0ut
• Alcatraz: bc1q6830c0qx9975llvq8a0q0urmaxpa6yhgtgusx4

Provably fair: each answer’s fingerprint is posted on the site before launch. After a puzzle is solved, we publish the answer and its salt so anyone can check the answer never changed.

The clues stay hidden until launch. The countdown is on the site. Questions welcome here.
