What’s this Phyllotaxis thing about?
Decoding the Phy Challenge

If it’s a cryptographic puzzle, I haven’t found anything like an answer yet. Why’s that?
code: 0d1vHyLWQXkQWZBhfQmZWu8jgXA54DgLx+bPJQNBrL4AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABbiQspK6Gr2bE
That’s 64 bytes in hex. 0x16E242CA4AE86AF66C. No deterministic way to get phy back... Seems like some international cryptography, but no obvious plaintext or answer.
Really? You think it’s that simple? Look at what’s been shared.

There's a missing character in the second code from the first post. I’ll correct it once someone cracks it. Everything else is spot on and there’s a prize involved. If you’re thinking it’s unsolvable, you might be overlooking some clues.
You mentioned a password already being there, and the missing character is. = E.

Nice work on the puzzle hint, but that’s not the missing character.
Does the image tie into this at all?
Am I even close? Like, 1%?
I think I figured out the missing character!

Can I ask if the final address is a legacy/SegWit/Taproot? Is that too much info?

The image is key to this whole thing.
A P2P system of modular values would let payments go directly between parties, bypassing traditional banking. Digital signatures help, but if we still need a trusted third party for key recovery, we lose some benefits. We have a solution using a peer-to-peer network that timestamps info in a phylo-based proof-of-equivalence chain.
I’m thinking the missing chars are G, H, I, J. I believe it’s H 🤷♂️.
Got any hints for us?
Hey, the missing character’s A at position 86, right between b and E.
I’m still working on pulling data from the image. Thanks for this challenge!

Thanks for putting this challenge out there! I keep hitting a wall trying to decode this, nothing’s coming up. No funds found yet.
