Probably nothing, but: the archive name is 'Again', 2 july 1980 (the timestamp of the files) was a wednesday and 2 july 2014 is a wednesday.

Have anyone tried to look for QR codes in the audio spectrogram of the space.mp4 file?
yes. none.

The picture has not changed.

100% agree. uri is the same. http headers confirm last modtime. downloaded file hash is also same. so bs.

I can't check the address on Blockchain.info: "Got temporary error 1218 'Send Buffers overloaded in NDB kernel' from NDBCLUSTER"
Can anyone try?
That means blockchain.info site is having problems (mysql replication error). If it won't work for you, it won't work for anybody.

Out of curriosity, what software did you use to extract the spectrogram?

There's lots of programs to display a spectrogram (sox, audacity, ocenaudio, etc), then just take a screenshot.

The released version of the song is titled: 02 Laffe the Fox - Left Alone in Outer Space.mp3
The original version on their site is only available as an mp3, but the video probably originated from youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rysbn9bZ54

Wonder if there's a message in the timing of the rocket ship's flame.

When somebody has to keep saying "OP made no mistakes", I take that to mean OP just made poor decisions. This now feels more like a tour through somebody's warped mind.

Sadistic is more like it.

Some of the audio files have qr codes in their spectrograms.

You guys are getting sloppy...

SHA(SHA(Tetractys)) = cac911c02d8a37ffd20fb99aa21166160bc8f8c3c23ed119cabf36330bb35671

Opens 3.7z...

and in the folder is a game for windows? -.-

yeah WTF! i don't even know anybody with a windows machine.

The path split 2 ways - And one path is wrong.

So we chasing our own tails, like a crazy dog.

A road to nowhere.

OP updated: "- File "Onion" or file "Again," choose a path. Which one leads to bitcoin? *...Perhaps they both lead to bitcoin..."

- **New Hint: Continuing on from "Elements," keep thinking "Greek geek speak."
Another hint! OP is being generous (or has mercy) with us.
that hint has disappeared

Yemmster: Your answer is not an integer. So does that mean its a dead end

OP has confirmed the two different files are unrelated, so this was a dead end anyhow.

I have to challenge your result here Prospero, sorry about that. Dug out my old mathbooks from the university to verify, it might still be wrong though so if someone else could verify it Please do.
my bad. i forgot to add the sqrt() call while i was busy checking the parenthesis were where they should be Sad

Quote from: OP
*Hint for "Onion.7z":

- Match the implied platonic solids to their designated elements in the correct order.

- Always apply Bitcoin protocol - "Bitcoin hash is the hash of the hash, so two SHA256 rounds are needed"

- File "onion" or file "again," choose a path. Is one in the future, is one in the past?

- File "onion" or file "again," choose a path. Which one leads to bitcoin?

Is there a different Onion.7z? I take this to meat either solve Again.7z (Numbert.txt + Space.mp4) or 3.7z + Algo.jpg

According to Wolfram Alpha, it's not a triangular number.  Sad

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=is+2147129+a+triangular+number%3F

"if the positive triangular root n of x is an integer, then x is the nth triangular number"

$ bc
((8 * 2147129 + 1) -1 )/2
8588516.00000000000000000000

Edit: file named Algo.jpg

thinking about an algorithm ... thales' thereom? (no algo Cheesy )

Triangular numbers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_number#Triangular_roots_and_tests_for_triangular_numbers
And 2147129 from Number.txt passes the test.

*Hint for "Onion.7z":

Seem we might not be finished over here either...

means 2.7z is independent of Again.7z ?!
Onion.7z was the first 7z and that was already opened. OP must have made a mistake this time Tongue I think she meant 2.7z.
