There was very little information posted, if we can figure this out there is a prize of 5 Bitcoin.
Here were the two original clues that we were left with;
44e9c30ef2ee5efd5143a0fc9020c71b
104bf393ae90eac7e3045a657d5adb84

Here is what I've discovered so far.
1: Putting the two hashes together gives you a 64 character string, which decodes to Base58.
44e9c30ef2ee5efd5143a0fc9020c71b104bf393ae90eac7e3045a657d5adb84
Base 58: 5e1TttAEeAQZrC7vQZ7SWJibFhXVBonw2F5r65jeu9vs
Not a private key, so that didn't help with anything. Might be a clue.

2: When you put the two hashes together, it becomes a Base58 encoded text. Once decrypted, you get this HEX value;
44E9C30EF2EE5EFD5143A0FC9020C71B104BF393AE90EAC7E3045A657D5ADB84
Not sure what to do with it.
On the other hand, the hashes can be considered MD5. I ran a brute force attack and got these results;
44e9c30ef2ee5efd5143a0fc9020c71b MD5 : Cayse
104bf393ae90eac7e3045a657d5adb84 MD5 : Blanco
single google result for Cayse Blanco, and it's treasure related:http://www.piratetreasureisland.com/island_location.htm

3: Putting the two seperate hashes & making them one gives you a SHA256 hash, which may or may not help with the puzzle once cracked.
For those interested;
44e9c30ef2ee5efd5143a0fc9020c71b104bf393ae90eac7e3045a657d5adb84 - SHA256
104bf393ae90eac7e3045a657d5adb8444e9c30ef2ee5efd5143a0fc9020c71b - SHA256
Very hard to crack, near impossible.

Let's do it

May I ask where and what this is from..?

It originated on the not evil tor search (clear web) chat box, and from there on to multiple sites. I found it on Bitcointalk & talked to some guys on IRC about this

If it was solved, we would know
The BTC is in a Bitcoin address. Once you solve the clues, you get the private key & you can send the btc to yourself
