I contacted him - still not understood the publicity-pushed self proclaimed 'solution' - I just could not figure out yet, how that should work. He said more to come but I have the impression that he simply relies on what is carried towards him. Anybody with a 1:1 explanation regarding the 'solution'?

Quicktrader, have you watched the video? It explains it really well and even accounts for the line which has some flaws in it. This solution seems rock solid to me.... words and phrases like 'paradice', 'slaves' and 'gas chamber' don't just start rolling out of a code when this little manipulation has taken place.

I HAVE watched the video. I also USED the KEY given in that video. Applying the method ("one below, two to the right") I get THIS gibberish, which might be accidential or not:

THUS, I can follow some words to be found (by using exactly this key). However, I do not get the same results as shown in the video but the text above. But even CHAMBER can be found, if creative, as it was CHAMBEF instead. Also I can see the SLAVER as well as the ECIDARAPDEATH, whatsoever.

But can you see more than this in the rest of the cipher? IF SO, please let me know. Because if you start to write ANY matching text according to this method as well as ADD some words such as LIFEIS or DEATH, you most likely will end up with a similar result??

All I ask is this:

Where is the complete solution of the cipher?

And the rest, using this method, imo is gibberish (rather all). So please, if you can - help and explain. Because I simply don't get it, yet (call me stupid if you want to).
