    For those uninformed, this is what I have so far. I was looking at the sticknodes redacted page. I checked around a little, everything I found was useless besides this in the inspect element:

    Screenshot-2021-11-19-095858

    This was a URL, infact. Replace the “0096ff.php” in the URL of the redacted page with “17.txt” and you get to a raw webpage with a string of text:
    “vOPxrOQyueIirzSbuxgbtTS2s3ghr3QcuYPxsegaPpScQdjxt3PxuOQcveQ1TdkludMitTS3vd12ZXI6P2E6QdLxQYRxrecpuXAaudfxrOQcuOQgueLxQNoaPngiseQcr3Rxu3gkuzSbvdEavdQcZXInZXc2veycZYIdQXI2QOI2TdInO2c2P3QpreQwvdgwvdM2sOgiteEauz54vet=”

    By looking through an old reddit post, there is also another page I found with releaseme.png:

    • If anyone has any leads on where to decode this weirdass string of text, let me know. I searched shit up and I have no idea what is going on after this point

        Why don’t you make a post on Reddit? Maybe we can get some outside help?

        AH, the string of text is in base 16. What that means is that it is a hexadecimal value. I need to figure out how to decrypt it like that.

        EDIT: It is not base16, sorry. It has letters out of 1-9 and A-F.

        EDIT 2: It is base62.

            And also, I need base62 not base64. I am gonna convert it manually since I cant find anything online.

            EDIT: No, I am not converting it manually. I just converted base62 to base64, this is what I got out of it:

              So we need to decode this in base64 right?

              • Replying to: DarknessSo we need to decode this in base64 right?

                Yeah. So now weve got it in base64, there needs to be a way to decode what it says.

                EDIT: Tried it, and nope nothing lol. Just that weird unicode stuff again.

                EDIT 2: Converted to hex, or base16: 90 d5 3a 74 33 04 41 d1 fb e1 1d 43 cc c6 e4 1f 71 ec 83 c4 2d 87 8a cd 71 df 5d ac 69 19 58 a1 43 28 3e cc 6c 79 a2 1b a0 b4 ec 94 06 7b 70 52 e7 b9 04 d8 41 77 99 94 13 21 ac d5 5c f0 8e 2b f5 14 1e 64 48 12 54 37 00 41 ab f5 cb cf 8c 76 7e 29 e4 a0 27 5c be 30 e8 a3 9a 07 c6 2f 9c c4 8c 8b ec 67 72 9d 30 82 20 b4 af 6f 7d ce ef 81 35 8f 15 f2 2e 50 0b 40 32 59 17 0d 66 1d fd 4c 3e 0e 1b 38 32 9a 77 26 79 90 0e 32 17 9e 4f dd 46 41 fd a6 23 9c 8f cd 05 d4 ce f1 cc 14

                  I’ve never got into coding until today 🙂

          Question…are the commas part of the actual string?

                Nah they arent. Its base62 so commas arent even supposed to be part of it

        I beg you for direction master
        Is this something I decode, or is this just a solution hidden in plane sight
