@mirth23

Is the code comprised entirely of alphabetical characters? (You don't have to answer if you don't want to

.)

The code is entirely alphabetical characters, all-caps.

When I said the "6b 7a 8b.." was 'correct', what I meant is that it is an accurate mapping of the 26 unique dot+triangle combinations that can be used for simple substitution, I did not mean the answer is literally "6b7a8b..."

Only I didn't understand if the prize was actually claimed by mirth23 or if it was merely moved as a part of the treasure hunt and the endgame is actually in levels to come

Level 1 was solved and a 1 BTC prize was claimed. It looks like the game is set up with prizes per level.

seems the guy saying he solved first level is just poking the bear and doesnt have the answer and is just trying to 'bump' the topic

My goal is to help curious people along without just giving the answer outright. Besides, there's 22 days left before the next gate opens.

Hint #4: The code is nonsense. This is why frequency analysis has failed.
