Yeah, I thought that post deserved an answer.
Anyway, just wanted to point out that the text adventure is called "Days Destroyed". It might be a reference to "Bitcoin Days Destroyed"?
You don't need to brute force all the 26! combinations if you do a frequency attack. Unfortunately the frequency doen't seem compatible to english and the text is not so large, so a similar attack becomes very hard.
About "days destroyed", yes it could be a reference to bitcoin, but we should know on what period it refers to know the number of days destoryed (and of course, for what).
