What sound does a nuclear detonation make, if there's no nuclear scientist there to hear it ?
Half hour after my attempt to revive cryptographs, last night :
dignork http://trilema.com/2014/cryptographs-revived/
dignork Dunno, but: echo -n "teeming" | sha1sum
dignork 8d7ae863d9c10823e2af4cecd803e380dbcc3bf3
mircea_popescu Lol so post there with a salt ?
Half a minute later :
mircea_popescu Aw shit! I calced the wrong hash OMFG.
dignork I just googled the hash actually :)
mircea_popescu Ahahaha ok brb. http://trilema.com/2014/cryptographs-revived/ updated. Tyvm :)
dignork Heh, kill my comment then :) Although, if now your challenge is echo -n "something", you should mention it, because I'm not sure it's a default assumption.
mircea_popescu I did update the note. Basically using "trilema" as salt. (Also teh original hash was actually mistaken, I had hashed the wrong word).
The next morning :
dignork I solved it: http://btcbase.org/log/?date=12-05-2014#672531
mircea_popescu But pls to comment will you.
dignork And posted to your site, but I was drunk, and I think comment didn't pass through.
mircea_popescu I don't see it. Do it again pls.
Two minutes later.
mircea_popescu O wow motherfucker you're too good at this aren't you ? :D Lmme check! a66c1991dd3f13fc12238d88c80795d1e54631be yup you got it.
dignork I also gave a solution.
mircea_popescu I saw. Pls to make the post on Trilema so reference to it doesn't get lost in logs.
dignork And I still dunno how you derived this word from the pics, our cultural background is rather different I guess :)
mircea_popescu :)
dignork Added comment with hash and mention of irc logs. Btw if you want to avoid bruteforce, you either have to slow down/complicate the hashing, or just make it interactive, with new hash target/nounce via site, and rate limit per IP.

dignork :) So do I get the "key" thingy, or it's a cheating ? :)
mircea_popescu You don't because you need 5 solutions :D
dignork Oh, so 4 more challenges.
Ten minutes later, after having trotted around back and forth all over my garden...
mircea_popescu O I got you you little bitch you. I gohohohohot you. So : backwards hashed.
dignork But can you explain the derivation process? I mean why is this pic == esteem?
