Kryptos key for sale

Since the artist James Sanourne revealed the veil KryptosIt erases the open air that sits at the headquarters of the CIA, amateur and professional analysts enthusiastically to break the hidden code in its message of approximately 1,800 people. While they dismantled 3 of 4 panels of encrypted text in the SI -shaped artwork, the final painting, known as K4, still challenges the solution. Only one person on Earth knows K4: Sanborn. However, someone else will soon join the club. SANBORN puts the answer for sale.

“I am in an auction on the simple text 97 of K4, which is the secret of Kryptos,” Sanborn told me. He even throws in a curved metal plate that he used as a cutting sample for the plate that is now located in the agency.

Sanburn hinted that the public auction was the possibility, the last of which is in March interview Do with me. At that time, he was frustrated by the idiots, inaccurately victorious that they broke the code with artificial intelligence.

But why now? “I wanted to be a healthy mind and a healthy body when that happened, so I can control it in one way or another,” said SANBORN, who is 80 years old while bidding will start in November. He can also use money. As a working artist, he does not have a huge retirement account, and he is particularly concerned that if he or his wife suffers from a serious disability, they will face great financial challenges. He says part of the returns will go to the programs of the disabled. The bidding will be dealt with through the RR auction and the reserve must be about $ 300,000.

It is his hope and assumption that the winning bidder, after trying an excitement once in a lifetime to see the solution, will handle the assumed answers from the community of people who are still active who are trying to break the symbol. Although dealing with queries was an intense work, Sanborn Fields is from 30 to 40 letters per week), the artist believes that he can soon become – with the help of artificial intelligence. After my wireless article last March, Sanburn says he had contacted him with a well -known figure in the field of artificial intelligence. (He will not say from.) This person explained how SANBORN can use Amnesty International to respond to Kryptos fans, which is funny because a lot of discomfort comes from responding to incorrect answers from people who use artificial intelligence. He says, “The paradox was not lost.” SANBORN does not have an interest at work along with the winning bidder to respond to the potential solvent stream, “I prefer to end.” “At this point, I am tired of that.”

But anything can happen. If some wise billionaire billionaire settles, it may explode as a whole. Remember when Martin Shukly, who is likely to be a wealth by raising the price of the drug that he dominated, was the high exhibitor of one version of the Wu Tang clan registration? Favorable! After SHKRELI was convicted of securities fraud, the registry was seized by the US government, and it was finally sold to people who planned to carefully released the album as NFTS. But SHKRELI kept its own copies, and briefly started broadcasting it. The experiment showed how the uncomfortable owner can violate the artist’s vision. However, Sanborn says that his sale comes without circumstances.
