Very cool. Token controlled access. Listen to LTB episode 146. Now I can understand why coin_artist said it was a team effort.

So at the end of video we're being redirected to http://letstalkbitcoin.com/account?r=/rabbit-a01daj2dakf9

Looks like a referral, but when I put "rabbit" as login and "a01daj2dakf9" as password, all I get is "Account not activated. Please check your email"

EDIT: Entered my own credentials, and looks like the rest of the game will take place through the forum...not sure though.
Here's what appears after I log in with that referral:

This is definitely from that Golly program...

~~INTERNET ID turned out to be "star.mp3" - the title of the music file playing in the background.~~

EDIT: Turns out that the reason "star.mp3" worked is because I was connected via TOR. Anything works when you access http://whit3r4bbi7.com/onedoorclosesanotherdooropens/ via TOR network. Makes sense now...

How did you get that URL?

Quick observation:

The orangeish letters in the poem spell @WHITB3RI4B7 (a jumbling of WHIT3R4BBi7?)
The blueish letters spell $BEWARE.

Anybody notice the topic title?

I have been working on the gif and steg all the day, LSB does not seem to have any menaingfull information, at least not ciphered.
I have also tried a lot of programs and algorithms but always empty, the only one that is a bit promising is GiffShuffle (http://www.darkside.com.au/gifshuffle/) it always return some information but that doesn't need to imply that there is information in there, I have tried with a lot of passwords but haven't found anything.

If someone has a unix machine it would be great to try stegdetect 0.6 ( http://www.outguess.org/download.php ) as it is not compiled for windows.

I am puzzled about the url at the end of the Gif and the gliders, I am thinking that the next step is a custom GoL that is placed in http://whit3r4bbi7.com/ but we need more hints or crazy ideas.

Edit:
Damm, after coin artist message, maybe we are looking were we shouldn't, we still have the 0,3 address and the first message to decode and maybe we have now all the information to solve those.

Did anyone else notice the face in Frame 10 of the gif?

http://i.imgur.com/HP5onhg.png

I played around with the Game of Life a couple of days ago using this tool to try various changes to the game rules: http://sourceforge.net/projects/golly/. My overall takeaway was that I could find no obviously "interesting" patterns that naturally emerge from the initial whiterabbit state using any combination of game rules that don't immediately explode into endless growth or immediately disappear.

Also, I think I have to discount the general idea that you can predictably identify a GoL input state that will lead to an "obvious" output state (like a QR code or other non-trivial design). After doing some more reading, it appears that GoL is similar in many respects to a hash function in that it is computationally unfeasible to compute the input needed to produce a specific output, which is what you would have to do in order to create a puzzle where you were trying to generate a "designed" end state. (See http://nbickford.wordpress.com/2012/04/15/reversing-the-game-of-life-for-fun-and-profit/ )

It seems clear that GoL is a key component of the puzzle. I think that an alternate possibility is that "what lies beneath" the gif frames might reveal a key for encoding / decoding data into GoL cells, maybe using some form of coordinates. Anyway that's my best guess for now.

I think I found something.

I added the signed short values in the beta audio stream (which apparently is different than just merging left/right into mono) and looked at the spectogram.

Bar code? I tried to clean it up but the left/right start/end bars are not present. Not sure if its really a bar code or something else. Maybe they represent numbers according to their relative widths?

You can hear a short 'shhh' sound before the music starts and that's what things would sound like if you are encoding information with audio.

It also jives with the 'Bring it on' video that calls attention to 'stereo'.

This is the code I used. Perhaps its not doing the right thing. I'll leave this to the community to explore (I have a job/family to attend to

.

Code:

public class Reader {
    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
        File f = new File("beta.pcm");
        FileInputStream is = new FileInputStream(f);
        DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(is);

        File out = new File("mono");
        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(out);
        DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(fos);

        try {
            while (true) {
                short left = dis.readShort();
                short right = dis.readShort();

                dos.writeShort(left+right);
            }
        } catch (EOFException e) {

        }
        dos.close();
    }
}

This is how I extracted the audio from the file (which is in signed 16 bit stereo format):

Code:

mencoder beta.mp4 -of rawaudio -ovc copy -oac pcm -o audio.pcm

DISCLAIMER : This could be nothing....

I'm very curious about this frame from the latest gif. Is there a message hiding here?

Black & white squares are the only uniformly colored ones, the rest have (intentionally) different hues:

I am on the move right now and accessing this via mobile. Maybe it's something's in Braille language.

Glad you posted, alphabetacanary. Same questions about those frames.

OP put an astounding amount of art, intelligence, heart, and soul into this puzzle. And it has been a wild ride so far. We can show her our support by continuing to follow the path, see how far we can go. We may eventually get stalled and need some hints. But we can most certainly wait for those, as long as it takes. There's no hurry. The fun is in the journey, not the destination.

At the center of frame 6, there is an image of what appears to be some sort of machine. Table? Box?

Also, this frame's background image is another sketch but I can't find its source.

This could all be meaningless, of course....

I think we should leave interpretation aside for the moment and simply let her know she is in our thoughts.
