So where are you guys at?
What is the current quest?
What are the clues?

You can extract a 7z-File from Space.mp4. Take the last 2147129 bytes and 'cesar' shift them by -100, that reveals the file.
The current quest is to get the password for the file.

Thanks.

Will look in to it when I get a chance.
Hopefully I wont be needed Smiley

Sha-256 I apologize bro

because you dont know me

Hey, you don't know me either.
But truly I apologize.

Ok, so I've been following along since the beginning (mostly fact checking and throwing theories at arg) and I'm ready to dump all my current theories/knowledge.

------
From the list:

Quote
Coin_Artist: A secret
2009
And then there was Bitcoin
Monsters!
space
more words
Muhahahhaa
Satoshi was here
That's all there is to it!

"That's all there is to it!" is part of the OG file, so not part of a clue.
------

It's possible that we're meant to join these into something cohesive "[..] Satoshi was here, 2009 and then there was bitcoin, monsters!, muhahahhaa [..]"

Doubtful but possible
------
In the licence file for the DoD game, a version number was changed from 0.4.0 to 0.5.0.

Reason unknown.
------

Two changes to the readme.txt.
First at 23 bytes (0x135)
Second at 36 bytes (0x307d)

Nothing interesting here. 90% sure it's nothing.
------

The "Such wow" is odd.

Very unusual, mostly because no one likes that meme.
------

EDIT: "Monsters!" is another interesting point. Posted at the top instead of the bottom, with a section on monsters below.

Played the game, read the docs. Can't seem to make anything stick
------

EDIT: It's not possible for the first half of Space.mp4 to /be/ anything because it is an exact copy of the source posted on the 25th feb 2014 (the same date as the album).

Probably just padding but its contents /may/ be something for the password. I've ran so many double sha's on everything about that file. No joy.
------

Will update with theories as I remember them.

If it is really the OP then I hope you get banned.

You joined to reveal the identity of someone?

This is the internet for fucks sake.

Plus this whole thing is based on anonymity.

If it is the OP, you have it coming.......

Uh, you realise that is from a news article that has her name and handle, right?

She is a public figure and she was interviewed in a newspaper article, so the anonymous coward hasn't really exposed any private information. It's equivalent to revealing that user jgarzik is Jeff Garzik.
