From the reddit thread, there's some information on how the basic wallet was solved.: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nUAhlC_n21ZLZcRAHpLw9G--...

Man I was totally off on how those hexes are used. Thanks for the link!

Also, that's just for the basic wallet with 0.1 BTC in it.

How out of possibly hundreds of different operations that could take the hex table and and that date in possibly 5 different date formats as arguments, would you find out that it's shift key and YYYYMMDD?

Wild guess: start with shift key "301", see "201" come out. Use an 8 for the next, and it's a 3. Bingo.

(I would never in a million lifetimes have guessed that bip thing. How do people even know this?)

BIP39 and 12 word phrases to backup/restore your wallet is common knowledge in the cryptocurrency community.

I think the question is going from decimals to bip39 seed words.

Looking at 426 252 813 1535 1935 1603 1068 1479 1168 756 878 1083 I sure as heck would not think, oh that's bip39 indexes.
