If anyone can guess what text hashes to the following (SHA256), they will win 0.05 BTC

c1271518875164d4fdf824bff61dcdc59e56ecd2967e8620db86e4acfbf62e1b

Clues:

- The text is available on the Internet
- It's a proper sentence, with capitalization and punctuation
- It's a quote from a conservative leader
- The quote is _not_ in quotation marks

Good luck. If nobody has guessed it in a few days, I'll post the answer.

EDIT: I forgot which quote I used, fixed the clues 11:52 AM EST 2013-10-23

The answer is:

If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom.

The quote is by Dwight Eisenhower.

It's a hash not transaction id.

And how can we figure it out?
Do we have to try everything?

What hash algo is it?

I don't know. I've tried md5, sha1, sha2 and base64.

It's sha256:

- md5 is 32 characters
- sha1 is 40 characters
- sha2 is not one algorithm, but a series of them (including sha256)
- base64 is not a hash (the opposite, actually), and it has A-Z, a-z, 0-9, whereas most hashes only have a-f, 0-9

I thought so, but it could have been SHA3-256

I call for yet another hint. Already tried lorem ipsum Wink.

The signature campaign posters adding useless redundant fluff to their posts to reach their minimum word count are lowering my IQ.

Expanded on a few hints, and moved all the hints from the thread into the OP.

I believe the hash is sha256 and it is an "anarchistic" quote!

It's a quote from a conservative politician. Politicians are always talking. How is anyone going to guess this??
