If you don't already know about A858DE45F56D9BC9, I don't know if I can explain it. I've been following it for a while, but don't know enough about crypto to really contribute. An atypical post came up recently (https://www.reddit.com/r/A858DE45F56D9BC9/comments/2jtoce/201410210620/).. and was at least partially solved:
<################## A # # # 8 #N# #S# # 5 #E# # #T# # 8 #W# #N# #I# # D # #O# #L# # E #E# # #L# # 4 #Y# #A# # # # 5 #E# #N# #W#T# # F #5# #S# #3#O# # 5 # #W# #A#O# # 6 #E# #K#L# # D #R# # # # 9 #S# # B # # C ###### ### # 9 #AMOUNG#YOU# # <##################
I took roughly half of the source data provided in the post and used it to generate images (gifs count up to generate 16 unique tiles. Assign each hex character a tile. Lay them out left to right, top to bottom). Call it abstract art, I guess. It was an interesting project, but a maybe too labor intensive to see to completion.
