What is the current quest?
What are the clues?

Ok, so I've been following along since the beginning (mostly fact checking and throwing theories at arg) and I'm ready to dump all my current theories/knowledge.

------
From the list:

Quote
Coin_Artist: A secret
2009
And then there was Bitcoin
Monsters!
space
more words
Muhahahhaa
Satoshi was here
That's all there is to it!

"That's all there is to it!" is part of the OG file, so not part of a clue.
------

It's possible that we're meant to join these into something cohesive "[..] Satoshi was here, 2009 and then there was bitcoin, monsters!, muhahahhaa [..]"

Doubtful but possible
------
In the licence file for the DoD game, a version number was changed from 0.4.0 to 0.5.0.

Reason unknown.
------

Two changes to the readme.txt.
First at 23 bytes (0x135)
Second at 36 bytes (0x307d)

Nothing interesting here. 90% sure it's nothing.
------

The "Such wow" is odd.

Very unusual, mostly because no one likes that meme.
------

EDIT: "Monsters!" is another interesting point. Posted at the top instead of the bottom, with a section on monsters below.

Played the game, read the docs. Can't seem to make anything stick
------

EDIT: It's not possible for the first half of Space.mp4 to /be/ anything because it is an exact copy of the source posted on the 25th feb 2014 (the same date as the album).

Probably just padding but its contents /may/ be something for the password. I've ran so many double sha's on everything about that file. No joy.
------

Will update with theories as I remember them.

So where are you guys at?
What is the current quest?
What are the clues?

You can extract a 7z-File from Space.mp4. Take the last 2147129 bytes and 'cesar' shift them by -100, that reveals the file.
The current quest is to get the password for the file.

If you speed up 16_kaboom.wav by 225% or so it's clearly a song fragment, and is not the original game sound.

Not sure if any useful, but DoD file readme2.txt has some sound naming described:

Code:
At present, all the sounds are stored in WAV files and loaded into memory during initialization.  The names of the sounds are taken directly from the 6809 source.  They are: squeak (spider), rattle (viper), growl (club stone giant), beoop (blob), klank (no-shield knight), grawl (axe stone giant), pssst (scorpion), kklank (shield knight), pssht (wriath), snarl (galdrog), bdlbdl (wizard), gluglg (flask), phaser (ring), whoop (scroll), clang (shield), whoosh (sword), chuck (torch), klink (player hit creature), clank (creature hit player), thud (player hit wall), bang (player killed creature), kaboom (wizard fade in crash), heart (heartbeat), buzz (wizard fade in buzz).

(...) kaboom (wizard fade in crash) (...)


EDIT: after listening to the speeded up version of the file, it reminds me of the drums on the 2001 Space Odyssey Intro... or maybe i'm just loosing it.

Because we're at the end with nothing else inside the Again.7z that hasn't been used as a clue/hint. So, logically, we're going back a few steps to see if we missed anything.

Good point. Ignore previous post. I have been playing around with the idea that we need to look for duplicates, but I doubt that that would help us.

Past hints have never meant anything for future puzzles. Best to ignore them.

Well when you do something like this, the international exposure, is your friend as a artist anyways.

Only if you like Sia, and you want to avoid the public eye, and get extra publicity, would you hide your identity.  Grin
