The increasingly inaccurately named weekly crossword puzzle is up!

Since @OneOneSeven is the general reigning winner of these, the theme this week is UFOs!
Last week's puzzle still has an unclaimed bounty on it, although somebody's already made 7000 sats from a deposit by @OneOneSeven himself. If you would also like to contribute to this bounty-avoider, you can do so at bc1qswcrkuu5mfs2vg9y52xc2543zmnqmz3j9jwnyn, but I'd just recommend solving the damn riddle yourself.
I've decided to give this week's bounty to the first person to finish the crossword to go back to simplicity for a bit. So if you're a dumb dumb like me and find that @south_korea_ln's new fun daily puzzles are just too hard, this is the opportunity for you!
Arg, I forgot to include the bounty! First person to finish this crossword and prove it here gets a 2000 sat zap!

I'll make those sats back through crossword bounties lol!
If I had understood the riddle I probably wouldn't have sent anything. I think you're right, probably just bots that monitor wallets made with that low entropy.

Holy shit, that was quick!

I was most of the way through making it and was doing my best to shoehorn the Drake Equation in and just couldn't do it. There's probably a handful of other fun things that I missed. Oh well, gives me an excuse to make another one with this theme sometime.

Nice!
Almost out of the fiat mines to work on this!

Good luck!

This shall be a tough one for me but I will give it my all.

I tried to give plenty of clues so that the more obscure answers could be arrived at by other knowledge. We'll see how it goes...

I definitely got stumped and moved on. Will go back to it later.
