Crypto is fun, crypto is interesting.
If you are on Hive, on LeoFinance - you deal with crypto. Cryptocurrencies.
Which all in turn are so much tangled with cryptography. Encryption. Various ciphers.
Today, while studying various wallet and crypto tricks, I came across something very interesting and new (to me) in cipher. And it gave me an idea to make a puzzle.
Lets see if anyone can recognize this thing. Here is a string of 24 words:
town dance wife warn cover somewhere caress serious daddy foot whistle problem clearly grandma hey play surround experience tuck blanket compare scary parent poet
Behind this string is hidden a five word secret phrase. A short statement, which is actual to most of us today.
It is very recognizable.
First person, who will post this secret phrase in the comment section, will win a prize from me.
At first I was thinking of making the prize 10 or 20 Leo.
I have no idea if this task is hard or not. Somebody who has seen this page (which I found today) - may recognize the pattern easily, and can figure out the right answer without to much sweat. But maybe all is not so simple.
So I decided to make the winners prize variable. It will start from 4 Leo, after 12 hours it will double, and will continue to double after every next 24 hours. Doubling just like Bitcoin mining difficulty every 210K blocks. Just like this:
So if you find the answer (which, again, will be very easy to recognize, once you get to it) you have a choice - give you answer right away, and be the first to win whatever is actual that moment, or wait for several days, maybe even all seven, and let the prize grow bigger.
Your risk, your challenge.
Get less for sure, or wait and let your reward grow (but it may be taken away any moment by somebody else)
I hope you like this.
I hope I am not the only one here, who likes risk (and adrenaline) 😃
Spoiler 1: This has nothing to do with BIP39, 24 word mnemonics seeds.
Spoiler 2: It takes only ONE copy-paste to get the right answer. Second "paste" can be used to post your answer in your comment.
Reward will be sent to winner in staked LEO, in <24 hours after right answer is posted.
Disclaimer: The methods used in this cipher are recognized as being not secure enough to protect your sensitive passwords, seeds and/or private keys. Never use them to protect your valuable assets!
The time is now 11:50 UTC, so the first doubling occurs at 23:50 UTC, 5th March 2021.
Good luck.
P.S. (update @ 19:14 UTC)
I just discovered smth interesting (and funny) - a totally different string of 24 words is also giving exactly the same result, the same secret enciphered phrase.
This one:
crap demand eventually strong leap glass mind flat torment winter apologize worth should stolen ready yell certain echo hunt heartbeat ready cheek bliss glass
P.S.2
