>>12917272my understanding was that the few kids who passed the cicada challenge were then instructed to do free codemonkey work. that sucks. nobody’s reward for any challenge should be a job offer for a job that pays 0.
remember when the US navy did an imitation of cicada? at least the navy offered a salary.
cicada’s tactic is really bizarre. they attract people who solve all these puzzles and the reward is “you can do work for us for free now”. and the winners don’t even know who they would be working for!
i am sure there is someone or some organization behind cicada 3301 but the way they have set the precedent makes any future cryptography challenges very unattractive to anyone. even if the navy did it again i am sure cicada made the marketplace quite barren since it very well could be a huge waste of time
anyhow OP, if you are cicada, then post liver primus decrypted. we all realize it is some sort of political shit but we don’t know the ending. plz post plaintext of liber primus
