Don't worry guys

from the mature responses it seems this is the first time in his life that he has something that others want.

give it a awhile and he will eventually figure out that he has no chance by himself and will post the answer, alternatively someone else will find the solution.

look at the date the again.7z was uploaded!

[arg]

what's the password then? i cant get that code to decode with the online decoders

I don't think arg has it. He posts stuff 4chan would. He is a troll.

I'm pretty sure this has to do with the elements. Just have to get the password right!

The answer is in the middle of my post, in a QR code, under a description of how to get the QR code from the Hint.jpg.

I checked the EXIF data for elements.jpg, couldn't find anything related to the QR code.
Where did it come from?

Someone please verify, I am kind of "occupied" right now.

I'm not buying this. Upload date is today. Someone thinks they've found an opportunity to get people to download his wallet stealer by acting like his shady file is part of the game.

how comes that Again.7z is bigger than 2.7z :DDDD

your so fail...

arg is correct. using the exiftool command line:

exiftool -b -PhotoshopThumbnail Elements.jpg > Elements.psthumb.jpg

Presumably you can do something similar if you have photoshop.

[Yemmster]

Again.7z contains two file:

Number.txt: ASCII text, with no line terminators

and

Space.mp4: ISO Media, MPEG v4 system, version 2

[arg]

Bullshit. This is what that site shows for the actual image.

Upload the one from your computer, not the one you copied from this thread. imgur.com strips EXIF data from everything uploaded.

Upload it here to verify http://regex.info/exif.cgi

Cheers got it, didn't need to use command line, it comes up as the thumbnail in photoshop elements!

[Gatekeeper]

going to http://regex.info/exif.cgi  it does come out with the QR code but i was never able to get it to read, another user posted what it converted to , shame Arg is such a dick head

[Kprawn]

10 Days we being going at it!

So let's not get side tracked now. Whatever I get, I will share here.

Let's continue. OP will say if there was tampered with further clues and/or if it was solved.

Upload the one from your computer, not the one you copied from this thread. imgur.com strips EXIF data from everything uploaded. Stop being such a twat and verify things properly next time rather than half assing it.

You're right. I used the one from the thread because I'm at work and don't have the original on this computer. Didn't think the EXIF-stripping through. If you weren't acting so shady, though, I wouldn't have even bothered with trying to double-check a random zip file from a new user that was uploaded today...

[escrow.ms]

So now there are 2 files (txt file with number and a video)

Number is : 2147129

Video is :
Odyssey 8081-va015
http://8081netlabel.ru/news/8081_va015_odyssey/2014-02-25-119
http://chipwiki.ru/wiki/Odyssey

Ps: we have txt also

“Never underestimate the determination of a kid who is time-rich and cash-poor.”

It's from a novel Little Brother (Pages : 380)  which is written by Cory Doctorow

One of the popular online QR readers was unable to read the original file as QR. I had to find a second scanning option than the one I've been using all game. That, combined with your initial taunting, made people assume you were lying and trolling.

Chill out.

So how did we extract 2.7z exactly and who did it and how?

[protokol]

Wonder if that's a code on the rocket in between "ODYSSEY" and "8081-VA015", those weird patterns that look a little like space invaders?
