A simpler proposal would be to remove the website link until you become a Member.
I tried not to raise the bar too high, but I'd be totally fine with this too Smiley

Still not sure between Jr Member or Member but sounds like a decent proposal

Am facut precomanda la access pass pe canalul lor de telegram care cica va contine 3 nft uri.
Precomanda e 0.06 eth si la lansare o sa fie 0.09 eth, ma gandesc ca o sa pot sa vand ala cu cel putin 0.09 eth nu?

Faza e ca eu nu prea ascult dar am vazut ca e destul de celebru.
Am facut o investitie buna? sa mai cumpar 2 3? Lol

Nu stiu ce sa zic... singurul loc unde am gasit ceve despre voodoo vault astia e pe reddit.
ZIceau ca au twitter si insta "VOODOOVAULT" ... dar dupa cum poti vedea contul de twitter nu este al lor. Pare a fi un restaurant/pub/club din UK si nu a mai postat nimeni pe contul ala din 2013 (https://twitter.com/VOODOOVAULT)

Nu vad niciun site, twitter-ul nu este al lor...

Ori vrei sa ne pacalesti cu vrajeli aiurea ori ai aruncat banii pe fereastra. Nu sunt inca sigur care din variante dar alta nu prea vad, sorry

Ah its all lowercase. Then I would say the song is "Who Let The Dogs Out" by "Baha Men"

Method: Well I had already got the SHA-1 hash from the previous posts. Then I used the track_metadata from FMA Data for music analysis.

Then I wrote a short python code to get the SHA-1 hash name for each of the files and appended that with the track names. I wrote a pythonic script (instead of trying to find an online music search db) just because I wanted to check out some of its functions and also get familiar with some Capture The Flag contest method - this challenge was quite like some preliminary CTF contest

And then a simple search for the hash was enough to get the song name.

You went the whole nine yards !
I assumed at some point someone would get to the SHA1 hash and try some websites with different databases like this one: https://hashes.com/en/decrypt/hash

But because you did it all on your own and also shared the repositories and code used ... 1 merit did not feel enough.

You may not be a newbie anymore but heck, it's my thread and I'll merit if I want to

P.S.
Morale of the story: do not use generic passwords because even if they are hashed we can still find the hash online and whip up a small piece of code that finds it in a minute or two !

Okay the only one I could think of that had a dataset available was the Million Song Dataset, and I tried encoding all of the song title names to SHA-1 via some sqlite3 queries and python, and output that out to a csv file. But I couldn't find the hash that I had found in the previous step. My guess is that the database is some different one altogether, I guess I'll give it a few more tries later.

Do not complicate the trivial !
Search engines are your friend  Tongue

P.S. probably did not find it due to uppercase letters or stuff like that. wrote the name of the song by hand and all lowercase
225  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: 🧩 Newbie puzzles ! 🧩 Solve one and get the MERIT you deserve 🏆 on: March 21, 2022, 02:56:17 PM
But from what I know, SHA-1 is a one way hash right? It isnt possible to decrypt it without maybe brute forcing?

You are 99% correct.

But there's only about 600million song titles out there,
just make a database of all the songs titles, create a simple code to perform SHA1 to each of the titles

That would be 10 Merit worthy IMO !!!
But what if there already existed such databases somewhere... food for thought  Tongue
226  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: 🧩 Newbie puzzles ! 🧩 Solve one and get the MERIT you deserve 🏆 on: March 21, 2022, 12:31:01 PM
Well here's what I could get till now

Get the uid from each of the usernames >> we get a binary text >> convert it to ASCII and get "47a984720d165e0e10c64288f422a191594390ef"

Now that seems like a SHA-1 or Ripe-md 160 hash maybe? Not sure how to proceed but that's a clue I guess.

So far so good !

Hint #2: that code is SHA1. You have to find out the string that produced that hash by what ever means you see fit and you can give the correct answer Wink

Am not sure I know whatever is going on here. But my mind tells me that whatever it is must be, must be very relevant. But unfortunately my ignorance impede me.

So I hope am ain't making a mistake by asking what's this about, from the question to even the expected answer?
Thanks!


Thought to award some newbies with merit if they decipher my little puzzle questions. Either if they have the knowledge or learned a few things to figure it out. I know I learned a thing or two while making the questions  Cheesy

decode from base85 ->  encode to ASCII


What does the following sequence represent? 4405b78d6059e536c36974088a8ed4d9f0f29898

That's the first commit in the Bitcoin github - first version of bitcoin Smiley

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/commit/4405b78d6059e536c36974088a8ed4d9f0f29898

And we have another winner ! Good job !

Code:
5wUP8bK2gm91cAcRa5wCXm89Rx91nrx8sCBYsGGghYcaDeWyJtUnejg8mEwYjUnRegSEJ7qPpmDh5fVyMmdL4KUtKxxNV7ycgb1FcGH9SCvpNGmWmiAYexUqdC8gzuH69cauBVcnFVsps2EWKw8QnVkP1Vv5Do1nGYujGPbyHo3nqVcf56USwaQud7ezCiZS8mt6pMnkkoqrpWQCqvc78p3KQKXeBnAj8h7YadRh2rqvBi96hM1sfjk5jaQqbHKwLnhETi7ZpGMCcrZpTw3rdMfSdUnkXGQMs2SkCuEURoutBGYentNN6UBPTwitJEuk95VDADjBizVjfxkqaCtFh1R

decode from base58 (aka satoshi's version of base64) and you would get
Code:
57 68 61 74 20 64 6F 65 73 20 74 68 65 20 66 6F 6C 6C 6F 77 69 6E 67 20 73 65 71 75 65 6E 63 65 20 72 65 70 72 65 73 65 6E 74 3F 20 34 34 30 35 62 37 38 64 36 30 35 39 65 35 33 36 63 33 36 39 37 34 30 38 38 61 38 65 64 34 64 39 66 30 66 32 39 38 39 38
decode from hex and you would get
Code:
What does the following sequence represent? 4405b78d6059e536c36974088a8ed4d9f0f29898
And YES, 4405b78d6059e536c36974088a8ed4d9f0f29898 is the id of the first bitcoin commit on github !

P.S. I removed your friend's proxy ban as a bonus  Tongue

P.S. 2
That's the first commit in the Bitcoin github - first version of bitcoin Smiley

More precisely the first version of bitcoin was posted on sourceforge. Since then there were many updates to the code until they started using github

And from this post made by nutildah we can find out that spammers are paid with 2.38$/post. Or, at least, they were, in 2019. Probably the payment rates are higher now. Pretty good, right? Not many signature campaigns can pay this amount.

TBH I was surprised to see there is a fair number of users on fiverr still ofering bumping services.
On the other hand I was not surprised to see that their reviews are fake Cheesy old habits die hard I guess...

Should there be a new flag type for "fake discussions" ? Not sure if it would break more than it would solve but might be worth discussing at least

Thats a nice thing and i am more surprised that somebody already managed to get the right answer !

I was more surprised a user named dataispower said it was too hard  Cheesy
IMO it was pretty easy. This is a bitcoin forum after all... not World of Warcraft so I assumed the correct answer will be give sooner rather than later

Well done Rizzrack , and i guess that some kind of questions like this one will be good to get new Users into researching about it.
Hopefully we will see more in the future like this one here.

Thanks! Have a few ideas... Will post the next one sometime this weekend

Answer:
BTC block 272326 was mined by F2Pool and the weight was 65884

That is correct ! Well done sir  Grin

The question was: "who mined BTC block 272326 and what was that block's weight" and it was encoded in base64 and the result was encoded in binary (that's what you saw 10101001101101101).
You just had to reverse the process !

Stay tuned for new questions ! ... didn't think of a next one yet  Cheesy

Now thinking what to do with this information next.

You're on the right track !
It is nice of you to post the current findings. Will give 1 merit only to the newbie that gives the final answer though  Tongue

Keep going, you're almost there !
