This can be found on the internet and when overlapped with Crops.jpg you can see a difference in the dots.

I am finding the original colored image file from the puzzle here: http://kodczasu.pl/viewtopic.php?p=8866

Not sure if the overlay approach makes sense.

of course it makes sense. That way i was able to quickly see what was changed. Certainly it is only the change dots that are relevant. The decoded version is somewhere above.

Ah sorry, I thought you were using a B&W I'd seen previously, didn't realize the colors were changed. Interestingly some of the greens in the outer spiral are not changed in hue but made a little larger.

Now I'm caught up, whee. Wish I had a little time to focus on this today.

You are not caught up no. arg has the answer - we don't

arg-sidekick what about this quote?

So, nobody has gotten the prize yet?

This will consume me if i get started on it.

Trust me and my partner. It does.

To this day I still measure files sizes in the fraction of a 1.4MB floppy it will take up.

Here's the inner bit before it switches to binary:

Code:

----- -...- ----- .- -...- .---- ----- -... .- -... -.-- .- -...- ...-- -.... .-- --- .-- ..--. ---

Translates to: 0=0A=10BABYA=36WOW O

This is the raw binary with the two yellow dots and 1 purple dot included:

Code:

01100010 01100101 01100001 01110010 01100101 01110010 01110011 00100000 01101111 01100110 00100000 01000110 01000001 01001100 01010011 01000101 00100000 01100111 01101001 01100110 01110100 01110011 00100000 00100110 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 01101001 01110010 00100000 01000010 01010010 01001111 01001011 01000101 01001110 00100000 01010000 01010010 01001111 01001101 01001001 01010011 01000101 01010011 00101110 01001101 01110101 01100011 01101000 00100000 01010000 01000001 01001001 01001110 00100000 01100010 01110101 01110100 00100000 01110011 01110100 01101001 01101100 01101100 00100000 01110100 01101001 01101101 01100101 00101110 01000Y10Y 01000101 01001100 01001001 01000101 01010110 01100101P00101 00101110 01010100 01101000 01100101 01110010 01100101 00100000 01101001 01110011 00100000 01000111 01001111 01001111 01000100 00100000 01101111 01110101 01110100 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 01110010 01100101 00101110 01010111 01100101 00100000 01101111 01110000 01110000 01101111 01110011 01100101 00100000 01000100 01000101 01000011 01000101 01010000 01010100 01001001 01001111 01001110 00101110 01000011 01101111 01101110 01100100 01110101 01101001 01110100 00100000 01000011 01001100 01001111 01010011 01001001 01001110 01000111 00101110

The segments that have the yellow and purple dots are:

01000Y10Y
01100101P00101

The binary with the two above segments removed converts to:

bearers of FALSE gifts & their BROKEN PROMISES.Much PAIN but still time.ELIEV.There is GOOD out there.We oppose DECEPTION.Conduit CLOSING.

BELIEVE is missing the B and E which are represented by the following in binary:
B= 01000010
E= 01000101

So what is the purpose of the yellow and purple dots? hmmm

When you morse-code translate what is different you get

I'm not sure about the question mark at the end. Perhabs it has to be omitted

Also the Crops.jpg image part has the creation time
1601:03:24 20:18:26.00

If you reverse that, you get:

$GOG47-NQVNV09-N0-0

where $ is a special character.

Thank you for confirming! Cheesy

However, it would be nice to just tell us stuff like that, wouldn't you agree?

I'm having too much fun.

This is not about the original cropcircle picture.
This is about coinartist's version. Get back on track

we have the decode the inner part of the circle, about 3 lines

I have already done that. See above

The empty spaces represent the binary number of ZERO and the blocks represent the binary number ONE. Using this cipher we get the following message:

"Beware the bearers of false gifts and their broken promises.
Much pain, but still time. Believe there is good out there.
We oppose deception. Conduit closing. 0x07"
The binary code of 0x07 at the end of the message would produced a bell sound similar to that of an old typewriter / bell sound (Example: DING!).

This has clearly become a game of bruteforcing your way to the next step with a few of new, selfish people ruining the atmosphere around here

Nothing was solved with brute force at any point. 7z is much too slow for that.

The crop circle is taken from the Wiltshire Alien Face Crop circle, and the message within it has been decoded, i'm trying to find exact decoding but not on it yet.

The disc was deciphered by Paul Vigay by simply using ASCII computer code:
"Beware the bearers of FALSE gifts & their BROKEN PROMISES. Much PAIN but still time. There is GOOD out there. We Oppose DECEPTION. Conduit CLOSING."
