Welcome ! Members of the linustechtips comunity !
this, is the all new Internet challenge put up by me, for you guys.

the challenge is open to ALL of the linus tech tips comunity !

like the previous iteration of the challenge, there will be some encoding, encrypting and many different ways to hide keys, codes, adresses and other hints
nessesary to complete the challenge.the way these challenges are layed out is different, im starting to make them now and in my free time.
but I might add up some kind of story to this.  actually,this will happen. I just need time for it :P
 
the rewards won't be like the first small one that I did.  each challenge gets you a prize.   there will be a big prize for the final breakthrough in the challenge,
as much as there will be some other ones here and there to keep you guys motivated :)   though that does not mean there is a prize for each challenge completed.
as to what I plan. each prize will gro bigger. as the challenges get harder.
 
so yeah ! enjoy and good luck !
 

first unlock gets you a 5$ game on steam !
 
This is the first enigma. once its solved, follow the instructions and enter "  "  where needed. then follow the instructions.       ---> nvm for now. fixing that later... :)
work in group ! all can help though only one can win. have fun and good luck :)

 

Security is key. i ill be watching closely.you won't find the server easely this time. and anyway, even there its spread across multiple drives.Once you found it. it wont end here :)good luck !EnCt24d0a80ab295a386727e460b995c010ad687f28684d0a80ab295a386727e460b9k3Q5cct5uAMd7ZV721VF7lG9iWKt8qo9AcanbtV0XSlmyYMWCWGBpVP8we9qSvvPpLK31D4wQaX05wKWngiWvcqYCGmhD/Ges6DIOFITKZkdAC23mqouD6xw1qyXLN82RloCx4u03XJNCuwXj5u08dAKPRMvEkx+ZPhC0wwM+isS2pUzfhk=IwEmS
