Hello Hunters of the Secret Challenge,

considering the problem with the Slack chat history we decided to create a bitcointalk.org thread where we are going to collect the clues for the secret challenge and/or the links to these clues.
We will also try to gather all useful articles, post's etc. about the secret challenge, which could be a help in solving it.
Dont forget to visit us at our Slack #secret_challenge (https://peculium.slack.com/messages/C7EGFFYAZ), Twitter @Peculium (https://twitter.com/_Peculium) and Peculium Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/PeculiumICO/) page to possibly find new clues!
Additionaly you can join the >> Peculium Bounty campaign (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2368249.0) << and earn PCL tokens while doing exactly that - a perfect win-win situation!


With this i wish everyone good luck and a lot of fun on the hunt for the 1.000.000 €!!! ;)

Here are the clues that were found so far:



1. The Memristor (Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memristor))

2. Alessandro Volta (Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alessandro_Volta))

Pioneer of electricity and power, who is credited as the inventor of the electrical battery.

3. Pinched hysteresis loop / similarity with loop, sine-wave function and "P" from Peculium

The memristor leads to hysteresis. The word means lagging behind. Hysteresis is not only used in physics to describe magnetic behavior, it can also be applied to economics:
When some negative shock reduces employment in a company or industry, fewer employed workers then remain. As usually the employed workers have the power to set wages, their reduced number incentivizes them to bargain for even higher wages when the economy again gets better instead of letting the wage be at the equilibrium wage level, where the supply and demand of workers would match. This causes hysteresis: the unemployment becomes permanently higher after negative shocks.

This hardware will be used to create a relatively affordable AI.

--> Volta + Tesla = ?



7. AIΞVE -> EVE = Equilibrium, Values, Ethics

From YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kg2vYFJ_R50
Thanks to AIEVE (Artificial Intelligence Balance Ethical Values), we introduce a formidable ability to bring savings into what it aspires for in the most beautiful way: stability and security.
 
Balance Ethical Values is translated to English from French equilibre, éthique, valeurs.

Also: Ethical parameters to enable transparancy and balance.



8. Saving is a part of us. It's one of our first subconscious needs; it's encrypted in our genes

Obj(Θ)=L(θ)+Ω(Θ) Objective Function containing training loss and regularization.

Is there no bounty program for blog / media
so I can participate in this project.
 Because the project is very good.

Any another bounty Traslation or social.  Media.  And more.?

Yes of course we have one!
Feel free to join the Peculium Bounty campaign (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2368249.0)!   :)

The Secret Challenge is just a big bonus on top for the community!   ;)

Thanks for that, it was complicated and even impossible recently to retrieve information on the Slack channel.
Anyway it's hard to find the secret ;)

thank you for making the Secret thread.  :) more chances of winning the secret challenge  ;D

It is necessary to solve the riddle from the first post?

On many photos there is this bird.
https://preview.ibb.co/kygpyR/image.png (https://ibb.co/dGSjXm)

I think that this is a mechanoid, invented: Salomon de Caus (1576, Dieppe – 1626)

All of above have only one general  property  namely  a pattern. So in my view the secret key or challenge if you want is a "pattern" ( one more option - 'fractal" which in fact the same pattern  but on the other scale

Arguably  you are right and we have to look for their general feature. I would suggest "symmetry". Seems it is general for clues that were given for us.

People keep going, i will update the thread over this weekend!

This is not an easy puzzle but the prize will definitely make good for it!!  ;)

A new clue from slack!

Woooaah. This so so so cool. Everyone is so genius in finding clues for this secret challenge. Very worth it! You are like Sherlock Holmes guys. Very cool indeed!

Now it was the third time I thought about the challenger. The first two times it felt like I have to talk about rocket-science what I have no clue about.
Well, this time, I´d tried to keep it simple:

AIEVE might come from A.I. Eve...
Let´s say it´s meant to be Eve, her, according to one special theory the first woman alive, the mother of all of us.
Maybe "AIADAM" would have been to obvious for a secret challenge? Maybe.

So, if that´s the direction, where "AIEVE" comes from, eat the whole apple instead of just taking a bite - this might infringe Apple´s copyright... ;)

The pattern of the dates posted starts of Monday, Friday, Saturday, Wednesday, Sat, Wed, Sat, Wed, Sun, Wed, Sun, Wed. Wednesday appears most...

Wednesday is associated with the god Mercury and planet Uranus, whatever that can help...

Originally, I was on the path of saying the flower of life, knot theory or ribbon theory, string theory or singularity but I'm still stumped for now...

Also found that "plasma" means the fourth physical state of matter (the other three are solid, liquid and gas). This state represents a gas containing atoms and/or molecules as in an “ordinary” gas plus some or all of the following: excited atoms, excited molecules, charged particles including positive and negative ions, radicals (these are characterized by the presence of a lonesome electron in the outer valence shell and may therefore be unstable and chemically reactive) and photons or light. Though containing charged particles the plasma as a whole is neutral.

Ozone is O3... Anyways, that's where I'm at for now...

Sometimes our lifes seem to be way to complicated.

Well - let´s keep it simple Part II

EVE (Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator)... seen 2004 in cinemas around the globe

http://i.vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/disney/images/6/67/3625885-4897998087-Wall-.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140429123418

Is it the interpretation of the something like AI will bring forth the EVE of Singularity which would allow to anticipate and avoid future hysteresis and it's a female for Eve and also because they give birth? Just a shot in the dark...

Or that the name Peculium is from the Latin "private property" and that AI would could help monetize the infinite, such as zero point or vacuum energy?

Or maybe just Ether or Ethereum, the concept of an unknown intelligence that surrounds us like, or more like a "couple" using an oxygen atom in chemistry, basis for the smart contract, which tur a it into private property, back to the name...?

I'm givin'er everythin' she's got Cap'n!

Or what about the electromagnetic theories of consciousness and the implications of quantum brain dynamics on AI?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_theories_of_consciousness

Fibonacci?

Any direction if we get close?

This is campaign for us? I think only AI can solve there questions!

PHI, as in the Golden ratio?

There is an infinite flow of information?

I am still thinking overall in the patterns. I do see always the pyramid, which is keeping on its sceles all of Peculiums values (Saving, Connection, Connectivity, Data, Action, Transparency, DQ, Market. It follows the pattern to calculate its predictions. For me the secret it is the allogorithm, how those different aspects are coming together.

Peculium, another clue

peculium (plural peculia)
(law, historical) The savings of a son or a slave, with the father's or master's consent; a little property or stock of one's own.
(Can we find and add a quotation of Burrill to this entry?)
A special fund for private and personal uses.
Sir Walter Scott
Still, however, he gained something, and it was the glory of his heart to carry it to Mr MacMorlan weekly, a slight peculium only subtracted, to supply his snuff-box and tobacco-pouch.

1. what above formula means.

Phi Symbol =  Golden Section/Golden Ratio
M = Market
D = Change
Q = Rational Numbers
M = Market

that function will serve as the brain of the AI

5.Golden-headed quetzal = Golden Ratio (PHI)
that is why there are images of peculium with bird

6. Algorithm with 3,6,9?

still looking for the secret.

Is the secret that you're using quantum computers as the hardware that AIEVE runs on?

Quetzalcoatl - Aztecs

To the Aztecs, Quetzalcoatl was, as his name indicates, a feathered serpent, a flying reptile (much like a dragon), who was a boundary-maker (and transgressor) between earth and sky. He was a creator deity having contributed essentially to the creation of Mankind.

The god Quetzalcoatl, is the Feathered Serpent or Precious Twin. He is the god intelligence and self-reflection, a patron of priests. Quetzalcoatl is a primordial god of creation, a giver of life. With his opposite Tezcatlipoca he created the world.

Aztec - Quetzalcoatl god intelligence and self-reflection

Tezcatlipoca is the Smoking Mirror. He is the god of the nocturnal sky, god of the ancestral memory, god of time and the Lord of the North, the embodiment of change through conflict. Together with his eternal opposite Quetzalcoatl, he created the world.

Will we find the solution in "Lectures on the L2-Sobolev Theory of the [d-bar]-Neumann Problem" ?

Or will the key be found in the roman antique?





Source:  "AGENCY PROBLEMS AND ORGANIZATIONAL COSTS IN SLAVE-RUN BUSINESSES" (Abatino & Dari-Mattiacci)

Or finally (for tonight) let´s dive into the complexity of "the Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT), Gauss's algorithm to solve simultaneous linear congruences, a simpler method to solve congruences for small moduli, and an application of the theorem to break the RSA algorithm when someone sends the same encrypted message to three different recipients using the same exponent of e=3."

PECULIUM originates from the Latin word “pecul”, which literally means “a sum of money saved for the future”  :)

Hi Guys. I really hope we find the secret...

For those who aren't on Telegram, I hope I can find some further direction.

Apache Hadoop, programming language. Apache is another Native American bird like Quetzal...

pq is in ARIMA programming...

In Latin, Animus is consciousness and maybe there's a Latin phrase... https://animus.io

Meaning of VE
Value Engineering?

Need help!

maybe the answer is APGQTAS

OK, I think I´ve got it:

The secret is: "The mathematical fingerprint of god" - Rodin´s Vortex Based Mathematic

"Mathematics as we know it today is only a tool to symbolize quantities. Vortex-Based Mathematics (VBM) is completely different because it is a dynamic math that shows the relationships and thus the qualities of numbers rather than the quantities.

Marko studied all the world's great religions. He decided to take The Most Great Name of Bahaullah (prophet of the Bahai Faith) which is Abha and convert it into numbers. He did this in an effort to discover the true precise mystical intonation of The Most Great Name of God.

Since the Bahai sacred scripture was originally written in Persian and Arabic, Marko used the Abjad numerical notation system for this letter to number translation. This was a sacred system of allocating a unique numerical value to each letter of the 27 letters of the alphabet so that secret quantum mechanic physics could be encoded into words.

What Marko discovered was that (A=1, b=2, h=5, a=1) = 9. The fact that The Most Great Name of God equaled 9 seemed very important to him as everything he had read in both the Bahai scriptures and other religious text spoke of nine being the omni-potent number.

So next he drew out a circle with nine on top and 1 through 8 going around the circle clockwise. Then he discovered a very intriguing number system within this circle. Marko knew he had stumbled upon something very profound. This circle with its hidden number sequence was the "Symbol of Enlightenment."

This is the MATHEMATICAL FINGERPRINT OF GOD.

There was still one more very important number pattern to be realized. On the MATHEMATICAL FINGERPRINT OF GOD notice how the 3, 9, and 6 are in red and do not connect at the base. That is because it is a vector. The 1,2,4,8,7,5 is the third dimension while the oscillation between the 3 and 6 demonstrates the fourth dimension, which is the higher dimensional magnetic field of an electrical coil. The 3, 9, and 6 always occur together with the 9 as the control. In fact, the Yin/Yang is not a duality but rather a trinary. This is because the 3 and 6 represent each side of the Yin/Yang and the 9 is the "S" curve between them. Everything is based on thirds. We think that the universe is based on dualities because we see the effects not the cause.

When I say the oscillation between the 3 and 6 what I mean is that 3 doubled is 6 and 6 doubled is 12, but 1+2=3, and then 12 doubled is 24, but 2+4=6 and 24 doubled is 48, but 4+8=12 and 1+2=3. So the 3 and 6 go back and forth in their own separate dimension. This creates the other important pattern of (3,9,6,6,9,3,3,9)".

... include all the pictures & maths explained here: http://vbm.isteaching.com/ we have the SECRET! Or?

So did you find it ?  :D

I want to join but seems its very difficult, but it I think its closer to the "secret of life" since the Fibonacci, Tesla, Phi - The golden ratio is involved.

Is it related to Quantum/AI Computing ?  Where PCL or Peculinum wants to become a center knowledge among all cryptos. or PCL wants to become the power, stabilizing,give balance, the center or gateway among cryptos.

 ;D :D ;D
