Title: Binary message in one of LTC's richest addresses?
Post by: tacotime on December 01, 2013, 03:46:27 AM
Address: LTpYZG19YmfvY2bBDYtCKpunVRw7nVgRHW (http://ltc.block-explorer.com/address/LTpYZG19YmfvY2bBDYtCKpunVRw7nVgRHW)

This litecoin address contains the following transmitted on 2013-04-02 as bytes following the mantissa of a number of transactions slightly more than 1 in value:
Code:
01100010
01110010
01101001
01100100
01110010
00100000
01100101
01100101
01100101
00100001
01110011
01101100
01110011
01100001
01101011
01110000
00100000
01101001
01100101
01100001
01101110
01110100
01100100
01101100
00100000
01110101
01101101
01110011

It's very clearly ASCII text, because if you convert it you get:
Code:
bridr eee!slsakp ieantdl ums

It appears they used a script to upload all transactions at exactly the same time, which makes ordering the ASCII letters difficult.  Can anyone decipher this message?

A treasure hunt! ^_^ Well played, in the values of the transactions. Since zeroes get knocked off the end, I padded the values with zeroes to get this. Definitely meant to be ASCII text, but I think because the transactions came through at the same time - as you found - the letters get scrambled.

It looks like the big block of deposits was a batch of all the "letters" being refunded. Below, they're broken down into three distinct segments, at different times. We can assume these are groups to be unscrambled on their own.

Code:
01110101
01100101
00100000
00100000
01100010
01100101
01101110
00100001
01100101
01100001
01100001
01101011
01100100
00100000
01110010
01101101

01101001
01110000
01101100
01100100
01100101
01101001
01101100

01110011
01110011
01110100
01110011
01110010

Which translates to:
Code:
ue  ben!eaakd rm
ipldeil
sstsr

Probably just mashing the keyboard or playing with a script :P

Hmm... a bit of re-arranging and I come up with:

Code:
armidillee dupes banksters!

Not quite right - but is looking closer to a possible message. :)
