[Challenge] Will someone decode this cryptic image?

34% chance. [image]This png image hides something very special and beautiful. I will the first person to decode it with Ṁ100 manalink, and another Ṁ100 to the person who will explain it’s meaning/significance/beauty. This market resolves YES if someone claims BOTH of those rewards in the next 72 ho…

Great work, @NeonNuke on solving this first challenge quite fast! Mana well earned.

I learned a thing or two about steganography via this (beyond just reading about it, like in cicada3301, for example).

I actually created a trail of images somewhere on the internet for some future challenges. Now that I got a bit of hang of this, I'd try to make the next market like this more interesting with higher bounties for more people.

I said earlier I'd wait until close, but the challenge was solved within 2 hrs of posting. Does anyone mind if i resolve YES, the challenge has been solved, we can free up people's mana

I can confirm that the manalink has been claimed by someone. I'll share who it was after the market closes, unless they're prefer to share it themselves

@firstuserhere

@firstuserhere damn it

I was 🤏 this close

@MayMeta I can post another challenge in a bit. I'll ask the winner of this challenge to not claim the next challenge's link, though feel free to attempt it and participate in that market.

@MayMeta you can complete this one, i will confirm if the code you got was correct, and for the next challenge maybe I'll post multiple uses of the manalink for anyone who solves it instead of the first person

I think I'm really close.

To make sure the uploaded image is correct, I went to the backup link (https://imgbox.com/fUibvKsu) , saved image to my computer and ran the extraction script i wrote on it, and got the text, so should be all good!

imgbox - fast, simple image host

Use imgbox to upload, host and share all your images. It’s simple, free and blazing fast!

In case the google drive compresses the image, then I've posted a backup link, please use that! Also, if you can suggest a good image hosting website where i can upload it, if needed, I'd do that!

Given how everyone is just buying YES, I think the challenge may have been too easy!

@firstuserhere will you let us know when/if the link is claimed?

@MartinRandall sure thing, i won't resolve market early though, it's only 48 hrs
