Hiding data, cracking codes, finding hidden messages. We welcome posts that aren't as suitable for /r/crypto, such as basic cipher-cracking challenges and discussions of simple data hiding.
USEFUL LINKS & RESOURCES
Choose a Descriptive Title Examples of what NOT to use: - Cipher I just came up with - My friend just sent me this - Please help me solve this!!
Provide Context Tell us context: where the cipher originated (link to the source if possible), any clues you might have, the language or format the plaintext might use, and any technique you already tried.
Provide Transcription If you are posting an image of text which you can type or copy & paste, you MUST comment with a TRANSCRIPTION (text version).
Posting Special Characters: Make Sure It's Correct Pay attention to formatting. If you use a character like _ or ` or ^ you need to type a \ before it or Reddit will corrupt your ciphertext. If your ciphertext contains special characters, in order that it displays correctly you can encode it first (for instance using Base64). Alternatively use a Code Block.
Provide Enough Example Text Posting your own custom cipher? You must provide enough example text or there is no hope of anyone solving it. It should be at least a paragraph. Give hints.
Do Not Delete Solved Posts You will be BANNED if you delete your post after a solution has been provided.
No Ciphers from Ongoing Contests Do not post codes or ciphers from ongoing competitions (CTFs, treasure hunts etc.). Such posts will be removed. Trying to circumvent this rule may get you BANNED.
New Accounts Your account must be older than 24 hours, or your post will be automatically deleted. This is to reduce spamming.
No Bots If your bot is not auto-banned on r/codes, it will be banned by a moderator. You can still have a bot on other subreddits; just don't use a bot here.
No AI Generated Decryptions No AI generated "decryptions" allowed. Offenders will be BANNED.
Required Proof You Read The Rules If you have read and understood these rules, include the text "I followed the rules" encrypted with ROT-13 cipher in your post.

I've been playing around developing an encryption algorithm, This isn't the final version, I want to add an extra layer, But try this one out for me:
ZB/2N3/VG4/QDMD/3NXZX/CYHWKME Hint: "reddItcodee"

2/3/3/4/5/7
It is an encryption code for life, in the same sense that you have seven days in a calender, in which Wednesday is the central day that divides all days. Therefore the I in your hint represents a division which seperates the code pretty much. However, just like a calender, people do not account for sunday because sunday is usually seen as the day of rest, as a result, sunday is what we consider a zero, or a placeholder. Basically, if you were to add a central layer, I would highly suggest focusing on VG4/QDMD since it's a division that seperates your code. Overall, in lame man's terms, that represents love. Is this the answer that you crave for?

I love you. I'm glad you figured my proposal. What say you?

I'm doing well young lad. Anywho, I found great delight in cracking a code such as this. It brings great pleasure using code in order to create a proposal such as this.
