For c# fans This assumes the "z69JZ..." above uses an alpha "O" instead of a numeric "0". Converted from the posted code snippet earlier. (Thanks) class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { Test(); }
static string alph = "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"; static void Test() { string s = "z69JZqlJn862D1ndx7oLVEMmVOlP1zewEeUCrsI7Roahzpeny7P"; string p = "6EQUJ5";
int i = 0; while (i < s.Length) { int n = idxof(s[i], alph); int v = idxof(p[i % p.Length], alph); v = (v + n) % 62; Console.Write(alph[v]); i++; } Console.WriteLine(); Console.WriteLine("Press any key"); Console.ReadKey(); }
static int idxof(char c, string alphabet){ for (int i = 0; i < alphabet.Length; i++) if (alphabet[i] == c){ return i; } return -1; } }

Ok, here's some collected thoughts (yet again). What have we got?
1) 0=0A=10BABYA=36 (0=0 A=10 a=36)
I am 95% certain this is the description of a mapping of [0-10A-Za-z] to numbers starting with 0. It tells you the three starting points of each substring in the list. All other interpretations that I have seen make no sense to me.
This mapping could have two uses: character shifting or transformation.
2) The hidden XMP data.
This seems to cross out all the data on the left. It also crosses out the 51 byte string. Lastly, it appears to highlight the positional codes in the RT. ASCEN section (or possibly cross them out). It even points at the 6 in '36' which seemed noteworthy since 6 shifts is what's needed to turn the z into a 5. OP went to the trouble to hide this XMP data so we should assume that it must somehow hint at the solution.
3) z69JZqlJn862D1ndx7oLVEMmVOlP1zewEeUCrsI7Roahzpeny7P
Most of us have shifted the hell out of this in various straightforward ways. Several of us have used the WOW signal strength as an alphabet cipher key, and at least a couple of us have used series of timecodes over on the right as a cipher key. It either doesn't want to want to turn into a private key address, or we're barking up the wrong tree.
Interestingly enough, it appears to be vigorously crossed out by the XMP. This made me wonder if there is some sort of 3733T instructional message hidden in it, but I wonder that less and less with OP's more recent hints.
4) CHANNEL NUMBER (TWO DIGITS, WRITTEN VERTICALLY)
This was recreated by OP for this image, but was text from the original document. It's possible that OP preserved it as some sort of hint. That said, most instances of "two digits, written vertically" are crossed out by the XMP.
5) Some timecode and other data on the right
This stuff is not crossed out by the XMP, some of it seems to be specifically called out by the XMP, but it's not clear what to do with it. It seems worth calling out because I think it's been largely ignored.
6) Various OP clues
"Final countdown" - Either we're near the end, or it is somehow referring to the time codes that are called out in the XMP.
wow + crops - we need to use something from the Crops puzzle. I am assuming the character map, but could there be more?
6EQUJ5 - This is the Wow signal strength. We must need to use this somehow, but it doesn't work as a key.
No sha or hash needed - any transforms we solve will be relatively straightforward
the prize awaits you the final palindrome is key: hints at wow being a cypher key? once small is now tall: all uppercase?

OP is killing everyone's sleep. I have had this puzzle in my mind for over a week now and the sad thing is that I can barely contribute since I don't get half of the stuff you guys post. I could help out a bit with the MC related stuff, but that's all.

Guys, I believe it's a shift of the original text. Each character is shifted within the 62 character alphabet described by Crops clue. The amount to shift is given by the WOW signal characters. This program, for example transforms the "z69JZ..." string into 5KZnsvrXDcP7JFD7GCuZvifrbcBtK4kAe8nHx6ibktgvPJxs4Lp Notice how the first two characters changed to 5K ? That's what private keys start with. However, the answer I get doesn't transform into a valid private key since the checksum doesn't match. I'm posting my program in the hopes someone else has a better variation. I just want this thing over... #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h>
char* alph = "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
int idxof(char c, char* alphabet) { int i; for (i=0;i<strlen(alphabet);i++){ if (alphabet[i] == c) { return i; } } return -1; }
main() { char* s = "z69JZqlJn862D1ndx7oLVEMmVOlP1zewEeUCrsI7Roahzpeny7P"; char* p = "6EQUJ5";
int i =0; int n; while (i < strlen(s)) { int n = idxof(s[i],alph); int v = idxof(p[i%strlen(p)],alph); v=(v+n) % 62; printf ("%c",alph[v]); i++; } printf ("\n"); } EDIT: I believe there is either more after the 6EQUJ5 or the algorithm is slightly off. Remember, if you are trying variations of the 'p' string, you must only use characters from the alphabet. So no punctuation or spaces. answer is in here somewhere

Oh well I'm trying it from several hours It's 4am here now and i can't do it anymore.. I did some mistake, probably you guys can do it properly.
OP said A = 10 BabyA a =36
Now take a look at your keyboard.
QWERTYUIOP Q=0 W=1 E=2 R=3 T=4 Y=5 U=6 I=7 O=8 P=9 ASDFGHJKL A=10 s=11 D=12 F13 G14 H15 J16 K17 L18 ZXCVBNM Z19 X20 C21 V22 B23 N24 M25
Now if we will carry digits to lower case qwertyuiop q=26 w27 e28 r29 t30 y31 u32 i33 o34 p35 asdfghjkl a=36 s37 d38 f39 g40 h41 j42 k43 l44 zxcvbnm z45 x46 c47 v48 b49 n50 m51

So something in the lower case set, maybe "W", is changed to capital? Like 1=W, 27=W too? I'd love to know...
