🕵️ The Satoshi Cipher – Week 1

Prize: 500 sats ⚡

Cipher: ROT13 shifts every letter 13 places through the alphabet. Because it wraps around the 26-letter cycle, applying ROT13 twice returns you to the original text—making it easy to check your answer.

History: A centuries-old subtype of the Caesar cipher, ROT13 became popular on early Usenet forums for lightly “spoiling” jokes or plot twists.

Puzzle: FGNPX FNGF QNVYL

Reply to this email with your decoded phrase and a lightning address to win! First correct answer takes the sats.

Bonus: ⚡ Double the prize if you solve it within 10 minutes of this email landing.
