Please in this thread do not post anything related to the obviously fake cicada puzzles that have appeared, the real Cicada 2016 until now only contains this image:https://infotomb.com/4gq25.jpg Which was found in their official twitter :@1231507051321 The image is PGP verified therefore we should follow it if we want to work with the Real Cicada puzzle ( so dont post any of those mobi websites/countdowns/ qrcodes, etc, they are just trolling) Now the real image tells us of course to work on the pages unsolved of the liber primus :https://www.dropbox.com/sh/lkta4q921vliyuw/AADmZ1YUHXWSjSizlMGZHXVMa?dl=0
Good Luck.

Hello WhtChlk! Thanks for coming onto the forum.
I have ONE idea. When we brighten up/change the contrast of the Infotomb picture, there is black dots. If you open it up in Photoshop or any equivalent photo-editing software, and make a grid every 8 pixels, you might be able to find binary sequences with the 0 = not black, and 1 = black. Who knows? I might try this in a bit.

I found the page of the Liber Primus that has the tree in it I will be trying to decode it

Yes, but here we seem to have more info than the wiki.

What if the dead tree is a implication about the dieing world, and telling that it needs new guidance into the future

If you verify the PGP key using GPG on Linux you get this:
gpg: Signature made Thu 31 Dec 2015 07:01:07 PM EST using RSA key ID 7A35090F
gpg: Good signature from "Cicada 3301 (845145127)"
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
Primary key fingerprint: 6D85 4CD7 9333 22A6 01C3 286D 181F 01E5 7A35 090F Note the number in the key name. It's 845145127=3301*503*509. The image size is 563 x 569 (both primes). The difference between the numbers (563-503 and 569-509) is 60, may refer to the 60-base numbers found in the Liber Primus.
A more likely story is that it's a reference to one of the first clues (ever), 845145127.com

If you take the 256 digit/char pairs on page 50-52 as base 60, and convert them to bytes, the entire hex result is:
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
Given the distribution of the bytes, it's unlikely that this is a hash or an encryption key.

Hello, i joined Calypne today as this post-string has been of great help to me, i need a partner in this though. I know absolutely no cryptography, and that is where i'm stuck. I need your help! Thank you!
P.S: Don't start telling me "Then why are you even trying to solve Cicada 3301" Well, because i believe in the existence of hope no matter the circumstances, and when i can't find it: i seek it.
-Rain

titanpad.com/vFCy7T5p0OThis is a link to a forum in which i believe decoded all the Liber Primus pages. If this would be of any help.
