Hello nixers,
Welcome to this June edition of the scavenger hunt.

Prerequisite:

- A good font that supports unicode display
- openssl
- patience

A third one if you are hopeless for the first step:

If you are stuck at any point you can contact me on IRC.

I was playing for a bit with this, but I'm pretty busy working on a few projects, so this hit the backburner.

Same here, I tried to, but noticed I'll have to make some time for it. Luckily next week I start part-time so I'll get my hands on it.

Just a reminder that this is still ongoing and that if you need any new hints or help I'm open for questions.

I just read the solution... The first step was just too hard for me and I couldn't pass through it.
You did an awesome job there buddy!
I wish I could finish it, really! Oh and btw, it's not my dedup program but sin's, I just gave a hand with dynamic chunking ;)
