Many people showed interest for participating in Hive Wallet social experiment. Originally I was going to randomly select five people who are interested. However seeing twenty people showing interest to participate, I decided to increase this experiment to four separate ones, so that everybody can participate. If you haven't read the details about this experiment yet, feel free to read my previous blog post.
Nothing has changed about the experiment itself. There will still be five people who will receive parts of the private active key as an encrypted memo, and they will need to work together to put the key back together to gain access to @hivegiftcard account and transfer funds elsewhere.
I also created new accounts: @hivegiftcard2, @hivegiftcard3, and @hivegiftcard4. They all have 50 HBD in each as well. There will be 3 more teams of 5 who will need to figure out the key for designated account and obtain their funds.
@soyrosa was super generous and sent 5 Hive to @hivegiftcard to increase the prize. So the first team now can get 50 HBD and 5 Hive. Awesome!
There are 20 people who showed clear interest in their comments. I used a list randomizing tool and came up with the following list.
You should have received parts of the active key for the respective accounts as an encrypted memo from me already. Remember, you need to login with private memo key to see decrypted memo. Nobody else can see them. The account your key can access is in the team name. For example, if you are in team @hivegiftcard4, your key can only access that account and not the others.
Again, there are no rules. There is no desired outcome. All outcomes are good. Work together or don't. Discuss on Hive or elsewhere. Doesn't matter. You have seven days to transfer the funds out of these accounts. The private keys will be reset on the eight day. The purpose of this experiment is to better understand Hive wallet, discuss how wallet and keys work, network with others, and have fun.
One more thing, I sent first memo to @hivegiftcard4 without encrypting by mistake. I had to reset the keys and send the funds again. So if there is a visible memo in that account, don't let that confuse you. That key in the memo is not valid.
Thank you for participating. Have fun!
Update: Seflhelp4trolls has added 50 Hive to the prize pool. Now each wallet has 12.5 Hive too. Thank You!

Sent you some hive with my old account, add 10 hive to each wallet please!
Thank you very much! I will do that right away.
I just want to flex our team @sanjeevm @dragokazo @futuremind @kenechukwu97 has claimed the 50 HBD and split it 10 HBD each but haven't split the Hive reward part on the wallet.
Awesome! Good game!
Don’t leave the Hive there. Empty the wallet. :)
Thank you everyone for playing.
Thanks @geekgirl! This was so much fun!!!! :)
Very good work👏👏👏. What will we do with hive ?
Great Team work - I thought, we were supposed to return that for a next round of challenge ?
Going to tag @dragokazo @futuremind @kenechukwu97 here
what do you want to do with the Hive? There's 4 of you to decide now, I don't mind splitting it or just have it roll over to the next contest for other players to win over.
Seems we might have a unanimous decision here on what should be done with that Hive @adamada :)
Sent 3.5 each to you, @sanjeevm @kenechukwu97 and @dragokazo
Don't want to go into an internal debate on whether I should keep it all or just leave it sitting there. Send the hive back to the account if you disagree :>
I disagree with it so you have them on your account now.
It was very 👍 work, so you deserved . It was very nice to meet you and very good work 👏 👍 😀.
I hope very have a chance to do things like this together agian.
Thank you :>
How did I know you were gonna do that :P
It's cool, thank you @adamada :)
I originally said that I'm okay with the HBD. I sent the Hive back.
Thanks for your work ✌️
Thank you too, I just wanted to leave the active option on your hands in case you change your mind as I wouldn't mind you keeping the Hive. I appreciate it. :>
You got this.
I also think you should take the Hive
Well Done
roll over to the next contest for other players to win over - I would even do the same for HBD - if there is something to roll over.
I'm willing to donate some HBD to the next one too :)
I thinking the same @adamada who solved this should get that Hive. 😁😁😁
I was thinking the amazing @adamada who solved this should get that Hive. That's my vote :)
that's a good idea as well.
Yeah she did a really good job.
It was a pleasure working with you as well @sanjeevm, and I'm hopeful we will be able to collaborate again in the future.
Wooww... It finally got nailed after all the maths and statistics and dice rolling. That's Fabulous.
Thanks for the good work and special regards to the team
I just wanted to say Big THANK YOU for doing this fun but an educational event!

Thank You Nathan!
@kenechukwu97 is in two teams 🤔? @geekgirl
Looks like I made a mistake there. It's too late to change now, since all memos are sent out. I guess we will just leave it like that. Thank you for catching that.
P.S. It looks like Kenechukwu97 left two comments, and I ended up writing down the name twice. :)
Haha. Lucky @kenechukwu97
Hahah... Ami @amberkashif
Your eyes are so sharp 😂
Really! I am mayopic @kenechukwu97 with - 3.5, wearing spectacles all the time 😂😋
Lol... Hold my beer. I need to have a good laugh 😂😂😂
😂😃
As I'm writing this, the word cool has already been used 7 times in this comment section, but I can't say how cool is it that you actually named this account @hivegiftcard. That's kinda awesome. Good luck to the participants or... volunteers? :D
Interesting experiment. I will follow along to see how this ends up. Already the teams are working together, and it's good to see them coming up with solutions. Nice way to educate everyone about the wallet features.
Thanks
It looks like all the teams do succeed widthrawing the funds of their respective accounts which makes me conclude "give me the pieces" and I will control your account.
I wonder how one could get those pieces or the "big piece" from our accounts and I got some answers:
I'm not comfortable enough with my security measures and will for sure digg more to improve them.
For those curious, here a site that may help:

Those are good points and useful guide. We often neglect basic measures we can take to keep things more secure. Thank You.
Great idea. Would love to see a multisig solution coming up. Would still require trust to initially set it up but nevertheless a great learning opportunity.
Thank you Shaka!
Good to see there's so much interest! And more HIVE added to the pool <3 Love it :-)
Very interesting experiment indeed! you geek indeed but I like it! 😄 I predict that there will no cheating across all groups but only differ in if they will send you $ back to double it or not.
Thank you @deanliu. I tend to agree with your prediction. We will see.
Wow this is super cool @geekgirl!
I wish I would have caught this, looks like the entry period wasn't very long at all! :D
You're a very creative thinker and always come up with ways to improve things around here and educate people.
I'll have to check your blog more often, sometimes I find myself falling behind on peoples blogs, and get consumed in certain projects like a recent 3D printing project I was deep into.
I need to work out some kind of notification system for people I'm following. There's probably a way that I don't know about, but I don't hit that following feed enough.
Thanks for the awesome work you do on Hive.
It's great to see you and I hope you've been well! :)
Hi @futuremind. It’s been a while since we talked. Good to see you.
Thank you. Next time I will try to make the entry period a little longer. If any of the teams return the funds there might be a “double or nothing” part 2 experiment next week. I doubt they will though. lol.
3D printing sounds interesting. Yes, there is never enough time for everything.
I haven’t been playing poker in a while. We should play sometime.
I'll keep my eye peeled for a potential part 2! :D
I still think about that torch experiment sometimes.. Didn't someone just send it all to the exchange then said he would give it back then never did? Going off memory and not prepared to go searching for it... but I just remember he tried to play stupid I think 😄
3D printing is pretty awesome yeah, and is useful for things like Raspberry Pi and Arduino board cases. Today I repaired the flusher in my toilet with a carabiner clip. The possibilities are pretty endless :D
The poker site is still up and running? I haven't played in ages, but it would be super cool to get some games in, yeah I miss playing with you. It's like we could read each others minds on the table sometimes but you were always one step ahead of me ;)
Ending of steem torch was a little different. The last person who had it by mistake powered up the funds. After realizing that they started powering down. But that halted the torch from moving to someone else. And then the blockchain split happened. At that point we came to a different solution. They powered up and delegated the funds to a light-painters community. After the split it didn't make sense to continue the experiment.
Yes, poker is still going, I think. Bigger games are on Sundays, if I remember correctly. I was able to play for a while too. We all need to get back to the tables. It is always fun to play with you.
I felt it was one of the coolest social experiments ever done on the blockchain, and it sounds like it was a rather happy ending despite the power up mistake. Thanks for explaining how it ended.
I'm gonna need to get my rounders sunglasses ready :D
I would like to believe I have a unique style of play that frustrates my opponents. I messed one guy up so bad one time he started insisting I was a secret operative put there just to mess with his head :D
Poker is quite the psychology game. It's fun playing with you too :)
One member of the team 1, @hazmat is not around and/or not able to participate. We need a replacement. Would you be able to join @hivegiftcard team?
I will send the encrypted memo to you as soon I see a response from you.
Thank you.
Yes! Thank you @geekgirl! 😃
Awesome, thank you. I just sent the encrypted memo to you. Good luck.
Received! Thank you @geekgirl

It's a pleasure to embark on this Hive Wallet Social Experiment mission with you all.
Perhaps we can meet up on Discord if possible. I can be reached @ futuremind#5073
Perhaps we can set up a team discord to begin work.
If discord is not a viable option, please let me know so that we can explore other avenues of communication, such as telegram or something else.
Thank you!
How do I get in to these kinds of events and challenges?
I am looking to learn and expand my presence on HIVE.
Awesome 👏🏻, let’s do this!
@amberkashif @cst90 @kemmyb @mistural
You all know how to read the message with the key part?
Wow!!!
I'm so excited... The best we create a discord channel where we can communicate and start immediately.
The earlier the better....
Just my suggestion though, any other suggestion is welcomed by me 🥰
Do you know how to create the. Channel. Create one, it seems a good idea @mistural .
What is your discord user name?
If you other team members give me the permission to create one, then I will create one right away and drop the link exclusive to our team members.
mistural#1560
Let's wait for the other members then
My discord user name is cst90#4026
@mistural and @cst90 , I have sent you the friend request
@mistural and @cst90 , I have sent you friend request.
I think @mistural , you should create the Channel and share the invite here, so we can communicate smoothly. I think no one would disagree?
Am I right @kemmyb @manniman
Where can we communicate and chat? @manniman
@geekgirl thanks so much for the opportunity 💓
@hivegiftcard3 Team:
@vikisecrets
@tattoodjay
@stdd
@ganjafarmer
Shall we make a private group on discord, and get this going? 🙌🙌🙌
yeah good idea, we can meet on Discord, if everybody is on Discord.
I'm not sure about Ganja and stdd but the rest of us are 💓 What's your id? Or we can meet from the Dreemport or Terminal or Pizza servers 🙌
!PIZZA !ALIVE
Add me to discord please, or drop the link
Discord name Гаврилин Александр.
What is your id? Mine is oldschooletwdwn#3191
Гаврилин Александр#4462
You Are Alive and have been rewarded with 0.1 ALIVE tokens from the We Are Alive Tribe, and it's paid for by the earnings on @alive.chat, swing by our daily chat any time you want.
I am on discord, not sure of your name on there, but I think you know me on there, so send me a message if you do
Yeah, I know you from the Tester Teem :) I just need to make sure I have the right part, as I could see the key Geekgirl sent me without the memo key.
Hmm thats strange unless your already logged on with the memo Key
She sent at least one off unencrypted
I think each part is 10 characters
I took a look I can’t see the portion you were sent it looks encrypted to me so maybe you have the memo key loaded
No, I was mistaken, I thought it was the key, lol
My people! let's do this, got a discord or you want peakd beechat?
@hazmat
@kenechukwu97
@dragokazo
@sanjeevm
I have discord
What's you discord name and 4 digit number at the end so I can reach you there? I'm planning to just setup a group chat over it than DM individually.
Dragokazo #9606
Nice plan... Mine is below
Kenechukwu Ezeme#1086
Group chat perfect! :D
They sent their keys over via beechat on peakd. Sent you a message
I responded in bee chat. I'm a bit confused how we are operating with this. I think it's appropriate for us to all gather in a group chat setting, not one on one.
peakd beechat works for me, can't do discord.
I have sent you beechat, and also @dragokazo @kenechukwu97 and @hazmat
The exact same messages. If you doubt it, you can message one another and confirm or screenshot the messages I sent out. Think about who you want to nominate as the holder and remember that it's possible for this to take more time figuring out the combinations. I can't seem to add some people on discord but talking on beechat here works. Peakd.com
I am there now.
I have received the 10 digits sent via memo.
What's the next step?
I haven't used Beechat before, but my discord is working well.
Kenechukwu Ezeme#1086
We need to have the 5 parts and then see how to combine it
Use peakd.com and then see I sent you Beechat messages. Sanjeevm and Drago already gave me their parts. Now waiting for you and @hazmat
Okay... What if I send mine the same way we got it.
I will encrypt and send as memo.
Sounds good?
Done ✌️
From the the looks of it @hazmat has the 1st position
@kenechukwu97 has the last position
@dragokazo has the 2nd position
@sanjeevm or me has the 3rd or 4th position keys. I'm leaning on my key position as the 4th one.
Hi @geekgirl since I don't want to compromise anyone I've decided to give my HBDs to the Papillon Charity registered organization and sent them to @combination the account we use to drive our weekly draw. I will make a post about what are my feelings on this experiment later on and will provide more data on the project itself.
Sent you the remaining 2 HIVEs for you to use in coming "experiments" or in the way you think more convenient.
Thanks so much for giving me this oportunity and for providing us with such kind of thinking stuff, really really interesting to get to know how the hieveans around do behave.
Hugs.
Pd: I will also record the donation as made by you so I'll give you de PapillonCharity Badge and star (one each 10 HBD or HIVE) since those HBDs came from you and I'm only a "transmision chain" here.
Thank you very much for participating and making this experiment fun. It's your money, you should spend it as you like. There was no need to send back to me though lol. There is no guarantee there will be another experiment anytime soon.
Thanks again.
cool, looking forward to solving the puzzle :) we can either meet on Discord, on Hive Chat, or in a Hive post :)
Team 3:

Pinging my team;
@kenechukwu97
@drakernoise
@readthisplease
@odsam2
@thedd
As far as I know we have to calculate all possible unique combinations with 5 elements...I Would call a friend that knows everything about such stuff.
I would suggest asking for help. There are many many many possible combinations so maybe we could calculate them with a script. I ask you to allow me call him here.
Note: I'm in Europe and I'm working so maybe I cannot answer immediately but I will try to do it as soon as possible.
@kenechukwu97
@drakernoise
@readthisplease
@odsam2
I have found the correct key. I have sent 10 HBD and 2 HIVE to everybody + the remaining 2.5 HIVE to myself for the heavy lifting :D
Thank you all for the cooperation and the trust.
@geekgirl thank you for the oppurtunity, let me know if you have something similar in your mind
Wowww... That was soooooo FAST!
Thanks @thedd, you made this look easier than it is. I sent 2 HBD to for the heavy lifting 😂.
It was nice playing this game with you ✌️
Thanks!

Thanks @geekgirl ✌️
The magician in our midst got this whole thing covered.
Good Game! Well Played!
Thanks a lot for this opportunity. I’m grateful I earned I learnt a lot.
@thedd thanks a lot for your work, am truly grateful. Thanks for being sincere and sending the keys. I’m super excited.
Thanks thedd you really made things easy and amazing ....Good job
Congrats @thedd I was sure you would do it, that was fast!
Thanks for your contribution to our team success. I'm giving away my prize to the non profit project driven by @combination upon Papillon Charity registerd foundation.
Hugs
@kenechukwu97
@drakernoise
@readthisplease
@odsam2
I received all of the puzzle parts, give me a few hours until I find the correct order.
Then I will send out the reward for everybody.
I can't thank you enough for taking this upon yourself ✌️.
Well Done Buddy.
And thanks to the team for stepping up the process
This is cool, thank you for taking your time to do this.
Hi everybody! Where should we communicate? We can use this thread for example, or we can head over to discord.
@drakernoise I am a programmer, so computing the correct order should not be a problem, first collect them :)
Wow that's good @thedd. We can pass the "pieces" to you then so You can put the script to work if all agree.
I think we can communicate here so it's also accountable for others to see how we work it.
Nice call... Seems like @thedd is also good with running such calculation.
We can use Discord for communication.
@kenechukwu97
@drakernoise
@readthisplease
@odsam2
I thought about it and we dont really need discord. My proposal if we follow the trust route:
Reply here if you can sucessfully retrieve the keys. Don't post them here!!
If everybody got them, and all of you trust me, then send the parts in an encrypted memo to my account (start it with an #)
After I roll the dices I will send 1/5 of the prize back to you.
Let me know if you want a different approach.
It's ok for me 😉
Sent already?
If you've seen yours, we can go ahead with the trust route. Hehe
Hi @kenechukwu97 I was waiting for the others to agree.
Anyways I'll do it ASAP when back at the office since I'm travelling now...
Ohhh... Okay.
I've already sent mine and we have 7 days so, no cause for alarm.
That’s okay, but I will need help on how to send encrypted messages using the memo
Lemme try mine. If it works, I will show you how to do it
So, if you already have your part of the keys, you can in the same pattern,
But, while on the memo, start with an # so that it will be encrypted and sent to @thedd.
GoodLuck
Done it
I just got mine and I will send the message right away
Successfully Sent.
GoodLuck with the dice rolling and thanks ✌️
okay got your part, 2/5 in my wallet
Nice... Let's wait for more.
Well Done ✌️
Sent my "piece" ;)
3/5 almost there
Just got mine so will send asap
Hi @thedd
I see that we had all sent you our "pieces", are they ok, I mean, are they complete and so on? ... are you already putting your script to work?
I'm curious, how many combinations are possible taking into account that any of those sent pieces could be the first one since the first character "5" wasn't in any of them?
We are waiting for a response
yoA, we're done too. What tools did you use? Some custom code I can look at and admire?
I was sure your sheet was to do it too. Congrats @manniman, well done.
Maybe I'll post mt sensations later on too.
Nice, nice. I think Excel is very helpful in such cases.

Everything is going just fine.
I haven't been in a situation where Memo key was needed, and it doesn't seem to be displaying details on my wallet via Hive.blog
But on Peakd, it's showing a combination of 130 alphabets or so. Heheh.
I dunno if I'm getting it wrong.
As for the multiple response, the first was a reply to the person that tagged me in the comment section whole the second was a direct reply to the post. Heheh.
But, I will have to take things as it is and have a blast.
You need to sign in with memo key to see the message. The message is encrypted, that’s why peakd shows that and wallet.hive.blog hides them instead.
The point of these encrypted secret messages is that only the owner who has memo keys can view. Nobody else can.
Let me know if you still need help figuring it out.
@drakernoise
@odsam2
@thedd
I’m in your team, how do we do it
Hi @readthisplease please read my commente here: https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@drakernoise/re-geekgirl-r1knit
I have logged in my account with my memo key but I can’t read the message part. How do I do that please?
Are you using wallet.hive.blog or other app? Private memo key should work to see the message.
If you are on mobile phone then you may need to flip the phone to landscape to see memo section.
I confirm you that I've received my 10 character part @geekgirl.
I’m using wallet.hive.blog
I have seen mine, thanks
Hi @readthisplease switch to pc if possible as @geekgirl told you loggin in using your MEMO key.
Take into account I'm in Europe and I'm working now so maybe I cannot answer immediately.
@readthisplease using a Pc and Hive Keychain extension (where you can import your keys including the memo one) and Peakd it would show you a lock besides the transaction in your wallet that you can open easily.
Download extension: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobilekeychain&hl=en_US&gl=US

mhkay..
Sum ting wong? Or do you agree? I's excel, I can send it around.
You sent me an encrypted message. In private keys capitalization is important. Don’t change the upper and lower case characters.
In the memo you sent to me you made all characters lower case, that would make them invalid. Use them as you have received.
Interesting, I wonder how that did happen. It was not on purpose.
I'm working on a matrix to get the possible solutions faster for everyone... give me an hour.
Sent you some hive with my old account, add 10 hive to each wallet please!
