Hello again.
I was not the first to find the key this time, props to EnigmaZer0 for this one! After seeing that everyone enjoyed understanding how the first clues were solved I thought I'd provide an explanation for The Leporine Key.
The second clue dropped early afternoon EDT on (easter) Sunday April 21 2019. The clue can be viewed on the satoshis treasure website here and looked like this:
_____ _ _ _ _ _____

Today (April 16th 2019 at noon) the first major clues to discover key #1 was set to be released in a few cities. A QR code with the words 'orbital' were found at these locations and looked like this: (https://imgur.com/a/6rNmz7T). If you read the QR code with your phone you will be directed to this url: https://satoshistreasure.xyz/k1
At this URL you are prompted to input a passphrase to decrypt the first shard. An obvious first guess was to try the word 'orbital' from the QR code. Not suprisingly this worked! This reveals a congratulations page and presents the first key shard:
ST-0001-a36e904f9431ff6b18079881a20af2b3403b86b4a6bace5f3a6a47e945b95cce937c415bedaad6c86bb86b59f0b1d137442537a8.
Now, we were supposed to wait until April 17th to get clues from the other cities for keys #2 and #3 but that wouldn't stop me from digging around with all the new information we had. All that time "playing" notpron (http://notpron.org/notpron/) years ago was going to help me here.
The first thing I noticed was
An easy to refer to document for regularly setting up macOS 10.13 High Siera, in flavor of my previous macOS/OSX setup gists:
I use this gist to keep track of the important software and steps required to have a functioning system after a semi-annual fresh install. I generally reinstall each computer from scratch every 6 months, and I do not perform upgrades between releases.
| After automatically updating Postgres to 10.0 via Homebrew, the pg_ctl start command didn't work. | |
| The error was "The data directory was initialized by PostgreSQL version 9.6, which is not compatible with this version 10.0." | |
| Database files have to be updated before starting the server, here are the steps that had to be followed: | |
| # need to have both 9.6.x and latest 10.0 installed, and keep 10.0 as default | |
| brew unlink postgresql | |
| brew install postgresql@9.6 | |
| brew unlink postgresql@9.6 | |
| brew link postgresql |

Custom recipe to get macOS 10.12 Sierra running from scratch, setup applications and developer environment. This is very similar (and currently mostly the same) as my 10.11 El Capitan setup recipe and 10.10 Yosemite setup recipe. I am currently tweaking this for 10.12 Sierra and expect to refine this gist over the next few weeks.
I use this gist to keep track of the important software and steps required to have a functioning system after a semi-annual fresh install. I generally reinstall each computer from scratch every 6 months, and I do not perform upgrades between releases.
This keeps the system performing at top speeds, clean of trojans, spyware, and ensures that I maintain good organizational practices for my content and backups. I highly recommend this.
