hahahaha nice! But man, be more creative and put another title for the note, something like a riddle, like a secret message, or a haiku :) Make it PoW
Fun fact: in one of my guides I put 12 words (from a real wallet) in plain sight! Find them if you can.

I love a hunt!
Does the wallet still contain a prize? Would you reveal the address that holds the prize, so hunters can check if the prize is still there (in the future), and if the prize is worth the effort?

The most canonical version of this image that I know of is the one from your GitHub repository in https://github.com/Darth-Coin/darth-coin.github.io/blob/main/assets/images/
But it's a .jpg

Does that even still contain the steganographic data?
Is there a method to convert a TIFF (written by OpenStego) to a JPG so it retains the information?
Or would I have to put the TIFF itself on the web?
You allude to this in your guide
I can send this photo to anyone (it is necessary without digital alterations/ compression) anywhere in the world, without anyone knowing that this photo contains 1BTC. Or I can even have it as a desktop background or in a digital photo frame-box.
Is the cat image in your guide still containing the secret data, or is this just an illustration of the concept? If it still contains the secret data, how does one create such a JPG file?

What you inspect is a copy. When you copy the file with stego info is losing the embedded data from stego. Only the original file contain it. By saying that "I can send this image to somebody else" I mean I will use the ORIGINAL file that I used in stego, not a copy. So people looking to "decrypt" this file posted online, will find nothing in fact.
I've seen that before, but you being DarthCoin, I always assumed this to be cryptographically secure steganography with a strong password.
Is this a hunt, where an amateur can realistically figure out the seed words from the picture?
Or a I dare you break this AES-256 encryption without any key information, knowing full well nobody can, hence not risking any Bitcoin at all?

then good luck finding the 12 words in my guide.
