Ciphermysteries.com is back online!

I got back from holiday yesterday to find that ciphermysteries.com’s hosting account had silently been suspended. Aargh! webhostingpad claimed that there had been a “load spike” for the home page… but… here are the stats for the site:-

Having been well and truly Slashdotted before, I can say that that ain’t no spike. So, I’m very sorry for the brief interruption to service, but hopefully all is well now!

“#1 cipher to be announced soon……” has been up there over a year – surely it’s just some kind of marketing ploy….

Tony: nope, it’s just such a big story that nobody will want to hear half, they’ll want to hear it all.. 🙂

Nick – skip the story – just give us a page of the cipher

Tony: the ciphers are already all over the web but nobody recognizes them as ciphers. That’s why it’s such an interesting story, one that I want to get right. 🙂
