ENIGMA
Congrats & props to ProofOfDuck,
the solver of the Enigma, who solved it alone after 488 days: June 25, 2023
Enigma was a complex riddle made
within Postdigital Metafesto.
First pioneer
megasaurus_bleps from the ambition made the right approach – nice a shortcut and a legit "hack". Because the data loaded into NFT is stored on IPFS with simple file names like "1.mp4" ', "2.mp4" etc., If you find out the IPFS gateway, you can easily view the whole collection. If you combine this with the expected location of the Enigma tokens (described in the whitelist), you can find all the Enigma tokens. megasaurus_bleps got a certificate for this!
Cold state
Then megasaurus_bleps, BatmanNetopyr, noohp and Jerz did some research but with no progress, drowning in ancient and unknown alphabets.
But in the meantime, somebody slowly tried his best and make slow moves in silence. ProofOfDuck showed up in the very beginning as a skilled riddle-solver, but left very soon in the understandable context of a bad balance between effort and profit. He left from the eyes, but never left the Enigma! Check his approach here.
