I tried to overlay the 3 frames with the white noise but it doesn't look like much to me. There is obviously something going on in the center of the video related to how far away the pixels are from pure white.  |

I don't think I saw a link to beta.mp4 posted anywhere on the thread, so here is a copy for folks who haven't seen it yet: https://www.dropbox.com/s/84qene5knsmoaek/beta.mp4?dl=0The general theme of the video seems to be quantum physics / quantum computers with images mixed in from human biology, astronomy, as well as what appear to be court transcripts, maps, and various technical readouts / diagrams. The word "Vesuvius" appears several times, along with images of the D-Wave Two quantum computer (Code Name Vesuvius). The last few seconds appear to contain content lifted from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VIAL8gQRTI#t=124There are a lot of interesting frames in the video, but the one that struck me the most appears in a few frames near the end. https://i.imgur.com/n5VHF2h.jpgI have to say, now that this is delving into quantum physics (including the equation for the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle), the text from the OP seems to take on new relevance. "If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be, it would. Take a W@@@lk with me. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see? 1follow me" |

There may or may not be bitcoin along the entire trail.
It's very probable we have an answer to this question. Many people believe that this 0.3BTC is a teaser left along the trail: https://blockchain.info/address/1BZ3wRijRMcZ5u85fkPUgtpX3gbqBSEvQJand that below is the private key in picture form:  |

Hare-brained idea #1: 'PRINT' might refer to the typeface used in the messages. I was able to find the font using http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/ . It's Impact Wide. I tried a few variants of IMPACT_WIDE and IMPACT after whit3r4bbi7.com/ and didn't come up with anything. Hare-brained idea #2: What if the fruit jpegs were multiple OTP XOR images that were pasted together and there were more hidden messages if you overlaid them at the edges? Cherry is particularly noteworthy for attempting this since it's mostly whites and light colors, and there is a huge amount of space around the 'PRINT' message that it revealed in apple. I tried overlaying cherry over the other images in various ways with rotations and flips, and also moved it pixel by pixel to line up apparently content-free strips. I found nothing but also did not exhaust all possibilities. |

Here's the sample frame:  and here's the re-typed sample:  That font has only uppercase letters, just as used in the movie. Nothing gained when fontname is added to the site URL. |

Close but it looks a little different to me. The R has a straight line while your sample has a curved one. The G's bottom is slightly different too. |

You are right. Wonder what font is it then. |

This idea just popped into my head as I was walking down the street thinking about the PRINT clue. Unfortunately I'm not near a computer ... but this definitely looks like the dots on the bank note image. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_steganography |

And this is not all, there's more useful stuff in that, wouldn't believe so much info can be put into the 8x15 matrix:  Notice the date of the printer, looks familiar, doesn't it? Yet to determine if "Column 15 value: 107" is tied to his ARG. |

lots of IRC activity that I'll summarize briefly. all characters in the thing are accounted for. a hidden poem that snakes around the grid (me): Standing alone, A loving bee.
Today we Live, Ode to the Free.
Some will think, He is dead.
Is that Truth, Never misread.
All that are lost, Know the future.
Aeons will fly, Man will Alter.
All your heart, To the mislead.
Open your eyes, Give them Bread.
Ode to no one Ode to the Free.
Death may come, Black may be.
You will love, Eclipsed you will be.
Fortunes foretold, Rich men will cease.
I am not gone. Encrypted and free.
Nodes run wild, Dawn of the Bees.
I Will Never For...
a remaining chunk of text translates into a link to the original bitcoin paper (frisco / micaman) h t : / o r e o g . e / r j c s b t o

there's also 'DISABLE ....... DISABLE DISABLE' and '0.3.19' in the image (lots of people saw this immediately), which may refer to v 0.3.19 of bitcoin: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Changelog#0.3.19.5B22.5D (frisco) whit3r4bbi7.com/ is other remaining text, vertically in the poem the last characters are the bitcoin genesis wallet (micaman) 1 1 P e 5 G f 2 M T T 5 L v D v N
A z 1 P Q e i D P f L S m 7 i f a
==> https://blockchain.info/address/1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa
I think the next step is to find another internal link on whit3r4bbi7.com based on the above clues. other outstanding stuff: * the hex from the 404 page on the site * QR code in note.png * noise covering Th____ in alpha.mp4 |

Fantastic work everyone! It was fun surreptitiously checking my phone tonight during my boring work dinner and see the new revelations roll in. Has anyone noticed the capital letters in the poem? Something seems to be going on there, but the pattern is strange. Standing alone, A loving bee. SA
