I am not good at this stuff....


I immediately regret this decision.

I'm sure Reddit could solve it.

I'm making a little headway with my version of this cipher, but it is not as much as I hoped, as I don't know how to solve it yet. I just have managed to work a few things out.

I'm starting to go a little crazy. I kept wanting to see a Fibonacci sequence. It was maddening. I wish I didn't need to use numbers to solve this and I am almost positive that I do.

Speaking of ciphers, any encryption over 128 mb is legality considered ammunition.
"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful" - Edward Gibbon (Offen misattributed to Lucius Annaeus Seneca or Seneca the Younger) (Thanks to apophenia for the correction)
'I am driven by two main philosophies:
Know more about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you' - Neil deGrasse Tyson
"Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." - Mark Twain

I believe he's talking about US export restrictions on strong encryption - where technology that implements strong ciphers are put in the same category as munitions.

Shit, I have about three encrypted messages in this cipher and have yet to figure it out.

@Cthulu:

My point was, the phrase "encryption over 128 mb" is completely meaningless. It makes no sense.

Well, I have some of it figured out. I am sorely tempted to post them, so I can get my love letter!
