Solution

Here is a breakthrough, showing step by step what you had to do in order to solve the crypto-puzzle:

Having a look at the rules, terms and conditions you might noticed a hyperlink. The link leads to xup.in, a filehoster, where I uploaded a .rar file for this challenge. However, this .rar file was password protected. Here comes the first hint into play.

Thanks to @bitcalm @raymonjohnstone was able to contact me on Line and receive the last task.

Find out where I am

Congratulation!
200 Steem goes to @raymonjohnstone and 10 SBD to @bitcalm and @cherish
