I followed the last hint, I built the matrix with black and yellow as 1, white and blue as 0.

0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1
1 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1
1 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1
0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1
0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 0
1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 1
1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0
0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0
0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0
1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1
1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 1
1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0
0 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 0
0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1

This time anticlockwise. We get:

01110010
01101100
01100110
00101111
01101000

00101110
01110101
01101001
01100100
01110010
01100100

01110010
01110001
01101101
01100000
01101111
01110101
01100100
01100101

Anyone still working on this?

Are the additional hints for after phase 3.2.2?

The wallet does not have the 5 BTC anymore...currently 2.49815966 BTC

What does this mean? Someone solved but did not take all? Or puzzle owner decided it was too big prize now?

The creator of the puzzle intended to halve the prize each time Bitcoin halving occurs. It happened for the first time on May 11, 2020, the current value is 2.5 BTC.

Ok, thanks for the info....I started on this puzzle just a while ago and still trying to pick up the parts....

Were where the hints posted on? I could not find a source....all reddit groups are archive with no activity.

Are you still working on this puzzle?

I said a bullsh*t, sorry guys... close it
