[i]Edit: New wrinkle for today - the hidden message is rotating :( time for some new code
Some paranoia links I made last night that demonstrate this (Notice the central line):

Day 6 is Up! (these links will always point to the most recent version):

Lol, the image is rotating? Clever bastards.
-
Looks like I won't be able to automate anymore - not only was it rotating but it has a random jump about once every hour.
-
i wish you the best of luck.

-
Looks like it's rotating ~10 degrees every 5 minutes.
-
I don't think we'll be able to automate the inverse rotation. We should just increase the sample rate and provide all outputs as a gif in the dropbox if that's possible
-
It's definitely possible. I'll make one now with what I have so far.
-
I'm watching the IRC now so i've seen what's thrown up in there but it would be useful for those not watching.
-
I posted the gif in in the main thread.
-
We really are going to need more people for this one - it's strange.
-
Anyone notice the usual spike of data appears to be missing? Not sure what that means.
-
This is a weird one - I don't see any numbers yet. What's more strange to me is most of the FFT's are greyscale - but some produce colors. I wonder if the black circle is sitting on top of color information underneath? Some of the outputs contain the black circle and some the color data?
-
Edited by Specops115: 2/16/2013 6:40:48 PMLooking at the different channels though I don't see any numbers anywhere. I think this one is just a different "puzzle". Not a uncover the numbers and find the link. Edit: any chance the produced colors are just noise?
-
Probably right - I'm just starting to get paranoid.
-
Do you know if the outside loop extends outward or is it a full circle with some noise dots out near the corners?
-
The whole thing is pretty noisy - because white dots represent known white dots as well. Those white dot's won't become another color later - only regions that are transparent are unknown.
-
Edited by Specops115: 2/16/2013 7:18:05 PMI just saw a change. I wonder if they're hiding different data in different images today? That seems like an awful awful trick but earlier I saw the two lines in the middle circle move from one image to the other. Let me know if you notice the same change. Edit: this would mean we can't stack data - we would need some number of perfectly clean images which I really don't think we can accomplish with our current numbers
-
I had a feeling they might do some time offset stuff last night so I made some paranoia links with different time combinations. Over in the IRC we just figured out it's spinning. Lots of code to rewrite. (also added some new links above to illustrate)
-
Yes, I thought it was a spin. The center part looked like a line and that line kept moving for me. Might I suggest making a gif of all of the activity instead of stacking them. (i.e. instead of making a gif of the geomask - make a gif of the activity on the output. You should be able to do that with a minimal code change and it would give people a starting look at the data.
-
Not getting as many outsiders today. All of the visible dots are localized to the center. Also probably not as many people forming a central base so that when someone in a remote area logs in we don't clear up as much of the outer regions. My guess is most people are out for the weekend - not sure what to make of the visible data so far. It almost looks like the letters/numbers might be in a smaller font today which is unfortunate because those numbers will be more difficult to detect.
-
Usually in the thresholding/levels we see one big spike of noise followed by a smaller segment of actual data. This smaller segment seems to be missing.
-
Not quite understanding the phrase. Could you elaborate using an example from an earlier day?
-
Usually I see something like this in the image (this is an example from Day 2) This is not the case today, though I do see it in the histogram analysis for some reason, but in the levels and threshold I can't locate it.
-
Ah, ok. Got it now just misunderstood the earlier comment then.
-
It doesn't look like a circular spread of numbers.
