Prepare - Uncover - Outwit - Find - WIN!
The first Steemit Crypto Challenge is running and so far, everyone is doing great!
Here's a summary of what's going on so far .
The Steemit Crypto Challenge #1
The first clue concealed in the cover image is on the bottom right. Using image manipulation software i.e. Photoshop, reveals this hint.
Now the bin is coming into play. This is a hint to pastebin.com. Using the code from the cover imagine you will find http://pastebin.com/B6Pm52ts
well done cryptofriend
you came one step closer

In the comments to the video you will see the next hint. Nh5LTQ2x
Again, well done!
I wonder where you got to know from me.
Things will get complicated now

Caesar Cipher
The Caesar cipher is another example of Roman ingenuity. First described by the Roman historian Suetonius, it was used by Julius Caesar to communicate secretly with his army: If he had anything confidential to say, he wrote it in cipher, that is, by so changing the order of the letters of the alphabet, that not a word could be made out. If anyone wishes to decipher these, and get at their meaning, he must substitute the fourth letter of the alphabet, namely D, for A, and so with the others." Suetonius, Life of Julius Caesar

YOU WILL ALWAYS FIND ME IN THE PAST I CAN BE CREATED IN THE PRESENT BUT THE FUTURE CAN NEVER TAINT ME WHAT AM I
The correct answer here? History.
Currently the Steem Crypto Taskforce is working on solving the following Cipher:
²×+\¯*m¡ÈZW§æ éWhµÊ&
Which results in an email address.
10 SBD goes to and for uncovering hints. Another 5 SBD to 
for this creative masterpiece. Made me chuckle:
There is much to decipher.
The challenge is not finished.
All submissions are due by Monday August, 22 @ 6pm (UTC -4).
Good Luck and Happy Hunting, Cryptos.
Do you have any suggestions how to decipher the last code?
You might join the #steemitcryptochallenge channel in the chat.
Good luck and happy encipher,
