Keybase proof

I hereby claim:

• I am qlrd on github.
• I am qlrd (https://keybase.io/qlrd) on keybase.
• I have a public key ASB_YwZ61fpD7VSXOlE5REPV2Wr5IszndPbhg4Z_9AIW_go

To claim this, I am signing this object:

a derivation path m/48'/0'/0'/<index>'

Once you have entered the passphrase, you will need to select a miniscript policy with a specific type of descriptor (either P2WSH or P2TR), and a custom derivation path m/48'/0'/0'/<index>' to spend the funds.

Basically, the index is a number that you will need to figure out to construct the given descriptor:

# <descriptor> : wsh || tr
#  -&gt; 0, 1, 2, 3 ... who knows?

Find a password to decrypt a qrcode;

After finding the mnemonic, you must find a 13th/25th word for this mnemonic. To find that, you will do the same thing as in the first part of this challenge:

derive_this_to_generate_the_passphrase = b" ".join([
    b"word 1",
    b"word 2",
    b"word 3",
 b"word 4",

Get the correct mnemonic

To solve this puzzle, it is useful to know that krux supports:

• BIP39 with and without passphrases;
• DoubleMnemonic (a valid 24w BIP39 mnemonic where the first and second halves are both valid mnemonics);
• BIP85 derived 12w and 24w BIP39 mnemonics

To find out the "password", you will need to edit solution.py. It have a line where you'll find a certain variable that require a byte string as input to the solution function. The output of solution will be the key to decrypt the mnemonic.

For example:

Miniscript challenge

Build a simple inheritance scheme on Liana and try to spend a ~170000 sats.

Prelude

During the workshop at BTC++ in 2025, the speaker created a simple inheritance scheme and put you as his heir. He can spend at any time, but you only can spend after some time.
