New approach.

after conversion from letters to numbers, not all numbers are prime. So when I only add up the primes (17,3,19,3,23(25-2),3,11,5) you'll get 84.

Now 84 isn't prime. Next prime value is 89. Off by 5.

So the answer will be 5 because this is also a prime number.

(9+3+3) + (16+18+15) =64

(17+3+8) + (11+5+20) =64

45 + 64 = 109 (prime number)

(H == 8 )
 H2=64

H = Human
 H2 = Human Power

(9+3+3) + (16+18+15) =64

(17+3+8) + (11+5+20) =64

45 + 64 = 109 (prime number)

(H == 8 )
 H2=64

H = Human

Looks very plausible  Cheesy
In that case it could also be Hn or H' for Greek notation

Is it 55?

Sum of numbers for "currency" = 107

Sum of remaining numbers = 162
 
Difference between the two = 55.

I think we're getting too deep into the importance of primes but I'll try this guess: (26 or z)

If we place 26 in the centre square:
sum of all squares = 293 (prime)
sum of middle 3 rows = 229 (prime)
sum of middle 3 columns = 229 (prime)

Again the a² still has me bugged though, haha.

Are we sure the numerical representation of each letter is the right breakthrough? I think so but...

Also I'm curious, what are you going to do if someone guesses the proper answer but doesn't provide an explanation? Will it just be ignored or will you publicly ask them "why?" or ... ?

You probably won't answer this but is the answer only one character or can it be many such as a word or phrase

If the correct answer appears without an explanation I will definitely respond and ask for further detail.

But it's an unlikely guess, so I'm sure it'll be clear how it was derived.

Guys a while back he said that the primes had some importance but that we weren't at that point yet.  I think we should drop the primes for right now

The answer is alphanumeric.

Since just about every possible single letter has been guessed at already, it's safe to say it isn't a single character.

I had mentioned that a recent guess/solution was a breakthrough, but I didn't mention which one.

Is it POHW (Proof of human work)? The last two columns have P (Pi) O (omega) H (h) W (y-2)...
