This is part performance art, part raising awareness. My intentions have always been good. I am bad at marketing I guess and now I am in the marketing stage.
This cipher is probably the hardest cipher of all time. But not because it is necessarily super difficult. It is, but it isn’t. I still think it could have happened a long time ago. Perhaps if there was some sort of monetary reward offered, even if small, that would have encouraged more people to try.
But they would need to use a computer. There is just no way around that. Too many possibilities that need to tested, and a human isn’t going to be able to do that. You might get lucky subjectively, that is possible, but how would you prove what you found is right, when you didn’t try all of the others? That is what I did, as we see with the code.

You need to find a landmark with Z32, like I did. It’s purpose is clear. “Look here”. Good idea.

Anyone is allowed to protest actually. Doesn’t bother me anymore. For awhile it did, but now I realize it isn’t going to get anywhere trying to set people straight. It isn’t going to work, and it is best to not even try. I just put it out there, people can decide for themselves. I have done so, and I know Zodiac constructed that triangle. For me it is beyond any doubt, but we all see things differently.
Since we have a way to know, I feel good about that, and await the results.

It was merely a matter of poor early distribution strategy + bad luck, right after the great luck of finding the landmark.
And there was luck involved, no doubt about it.
I wasn’t planning the distribution of the information very well. I just found it and started sending it everywhere I could. Since that didn’t pan out, it felt like a wasted effort. The whitepaper isn’t written for a forum audience. And so it isn’t the right fit. A forum audience wants a Youtube video. I could have made a great one, and still will.
But I just know I should have done that right away. I just know how hard it is to do it right. Forums seemed easier on getting the word out quicker.
But the forums are pretty much wrapping up at this point. This one has.
I am adjusting my approach based on testing the waters with this. I see it is how it is communicated, and visuals are better than text. This is highly visual if done right.

Apologies, typo. That should, of course, have been ‘S’ as the second letter.
