Somehow that doesn't make much sense but whatever floats your boat I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you upgraded your old Honda Civic and decide to buy a new Accord can you retrofit all the upgraded parts to the new car that easily and without any issues ? Now multiply that with 100 and welcome to the coding world  Grin

Decided to post the response since there were no takers this round !

How to solve:

Step 1: decode from base32 to text
Code:
NB2HI4DTHIXS65DFPB2GE2LOFZXGK5BPOFRWI2DPMF2GMZDQ
and you would get
Code:
https://textbin.net/qcdhoatfdp

Step 2: The code from the pastebin is too big to fit in the post so if you are curious check the link yourselves.
Symbols are HTML URL-encoded. So you would need to decode them first. "%3A" would be ":", "%2F" would be "/" etc.

Step 3: Decode from base64 to image. For example I used https://codebeautify.org/base64-to-image-converter



And it shows you the image !
Uploading it to imgur and posting it here should not require any further explanations  Tongue

I've added the keyword to my Finding spam and scams by keyword list (still waiting for it to update).
It looks like the spam is only meant to promote a website link in their user profile. That's something I've seen happening for years.

It did not find all of them because they also added some dots or question marks after... so "Thank You...", "Thank You???" etc.
One even went the extra mile to change the text completely in this post

And yes, all of them have links on their profile. Most I came across appear to have links to some live sports like football, mma, rugby but with what look to be one time use domains like "england vs australia rugby [dot] com" .

So I can only assume it's not just a simple live stream

I'm starting to think you guys do not want/need merit !
Hint #1: it's not base58 or base64

Hint #2: if you would decode "NB2HI4DTHIXS65DFPB2GE2LOFZXGK5BPOFRWI2DPMF2GMZDQ" from base32 to text the output would be

Extra hint: 2 more steps and you can find the image !

pai plm de asta am si intrebat aici sa vad o parere lol, si are putine postari ca si le a sters.

si dupa cateva zile va sterge si postarile cu NFT-urile vietii  Cheesy

chiar n a auzit nimeni aici de ian??? are si youtube?
nu a cautat nimeni "trapper ian" pe google? chiar tre sa dau toate linkurile sa vedeti cn plm e....

Am auzit de el... de la decent in jos.

Daca tot iti plac NFT-urile mai repede iei unu de la Velea https://trust.market/buy/eGoldenBoys
In 2 saptamani si ceva s-au dat 226 din 10,000 cu 1 EGLD bucata. Ian al tau m-as mira sa faca jumate din asta... in caz ca nu isi cumpara singur cateva sute sa faca hype.

Tu de fapt vrei sfaturi, sau vrei sa ne convingi pe noi?! Incep sa cred ca e vorba de convins...

Pai dupa cum spuneam in prima postare:

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

IMO, posting news articles here from a news site that you're affiliated with, work for, or own, is on the borderline of shilling at least.  Personally I don't have a problem with what Coinshots is doing, because I get most of my crypto news from bitcointalk ...

As I said before, the fact that bothers me is not participating in the discussion afterwards, in the slim chance that the article's topic generates one.
If they would be active, reply, share some additional input, some personal oppinions ... act like on a forum I would not mind at all. Let them shill all day long ! I'll even promise to merit them once in a while  Cheesy

Would be harder for those who own the website. They would not have much more insight ... because it's all in the article ! IDK man... not really a YES or NO question here...
209  Other / Meta / Re: Is shilling links allowed now? on: March 31, 2022, 02:34:00 PM
In the last few days, I have reported about a dozen such cases from two users, so although all the others are (so far) unhandled, one is marked as bad which I consider as a kind of message that such posts should not be reported.

This is a very used MO to start a new thread. I bet there are tens of thousands of similar looking ones. I have mixed feelings regarding them but since some of them, at least, have 1 page of replies or more I might be inclined to also leave it alone.
The fact that this particular user, Wimex, has ALL of his posts like this is the real issue. Not a single reply in one of his started threads. Only bounty campaign and cointelegraph links. I might not like that but on the other hand he did receive 45+ merit in the last 120 days for such threads so...

And regarding Coinshots ...the fact that (s)he was not even adding links in the first few posts makes me think it's not really shilling.

We are a news aggregator and we distribute crypto news as and when it happens, earlier we were just posting the snippets but some BTCtalk users asked us to post links too hence we are adding links.
do let us know if posting links is against forum rules.
Our mission is to distribute updates as they happen.

Am o mare nelamurire: ce te-a convins ca aceste NFT-uri o sa fie valoroase vreodata? Sper ca nu promisiunea lui ca la lansare vor valora (pentru o milisecunda) 0.09 ETH...

Multe se duc in cap dupa mint si se dau pe pietele secundare sub pretul de mint. Depinde doar procentajul... daca pierzi 10% sau 99%
Au fost cel putin 2 proiecte NFT romanesti care au fost SOLD OUT si s-a facut profit cu ele, de exemplu Stramosii sau Subcarpati OGs. Acum asta e trendul. Am auzit ca si Alex Velea isi face NFT-uri sa faca un ban cinstit Cheesy
Desi sunt si NFT-uri de la Stramosii care se dau pe 0.5 EGLD (mint price a fost 1 EGLD)

Dar sa zicem ca toate vor fi valoroase este prea mult!

Te gandesti ce iti pot oferi, ce utilitate au. Fizica sau virtuala. Cunosc persoane care au dat aproape 3ETH pe un NFT si dupa devii si-au bagat picioarele, au fugit cu banii, desi doxxati (vezi linkul de pe medium din postarea mea trecuta) si acum nu mai da nimeni nici 0.1 ETH

Dar acum na, faci cum crezi @art5! Vorba lui Neurotic, sunt banii tai pana la urma  Wink
211  Local / Altcoins (Monede Alternative) / Re: VoodooVault NFTs, nft uri create de trapperul Ian on: March 31, 2022, 11:55:05 AM
haha pai nici eu, nici nu stiam ca exista pana recent lol

Doar 4-5 postari pe instagram si 170k followeri ... doar un grup dubios de discord si nu facem site-ul public pana la mint date sa nu il copieze cineva pt vreun scam ?
Fishy as fuck !!!

Si tu cum naiba ai cumparat deja daca nu zic datele astea ? Sper ca nu ai primit un DM de la "admin" : "da 0.06ETH si te las sa cumperi inaintea celorlalti" ca asta 101% e teapa.

Sunt foarte sceptic.

Poti citi aici https://medium.com/@apenheimer/vasco-rouw-tamara-weeda-and-dutch-rapper-boef-are-infiltrating-the-nft-business-by-ripping-off-816833579b06 povestea unui olandez tepar care are zeci de proiecte la activ. A luat banii si dupa isi baga picioarele si facea altul.
Macar olandezu' creea o utilitate fictiva pe un roadmap sclipicios. Asta nici macar atat...

Mda ... multa bafta !  Nu e de mine !

Din cautarea mea rapida Google nu prea a auzit de VooDooVault astia.
Pai daca tot zici ca ai vazut da si tu un link, ceva... ca nu il urmaresc pe baietasul asta Smiley

How about member or Jr. Member + Copper?

Member or anything (Jr Member, Newbie, Brand New) + Copper seems more fair. Newbies buy Copper to be able to display images for their business, project, ICO etc. So letting them add a website would be a logical thing to do.
216  Other / Meta / Re: Suggestion: remove spam 180,000x: hide Website links for users with 0/1 posts on: March 29, 2022, 12:53:08 PM
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
217  Local / Altcoins (Monede Alternative) / Re: VoodooVault NFTs, nft uri create de trapperul Ian on: March 29, 2022, 10:32:40 AM
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 !
219  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: 🧩 Newbie puzzles ! 🧩 Solve one and get the MERIT you deserve 🏆 on: March 21, 2022, 04:21:54 PM
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
220  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
