RE: Steem Monsters Puzzle #2 - 5 Booster Packs to win!
Arrgghhh I give up! LOL
I also did manage to find this but don't know how to proceed. XD
I did look into it though and it gave me a somewhat ip address: 194.99.106.60 (totally shot in the dark answer here lol) and a simple whois gives me the owner as "RIPE"? (Close or going far????! XD)

Favorite Card: Flesh Golem
Haha nice find as well! Going too far with ip address and whois stuffs ;-)
You guys have to decode XU U9 V3 W3 ZU WY WW UZ UU ZW XS V4 to go further.
Thanks for your bonus pack entry!
@culgin I need help! Lol
Haha.. I am also stuck at decoding the string. Is there some kind of ID which represents the Cerberus card on the blockchain? It might be important to decode this

Indeed each Steem Monster has an ID, hence the picture name which is a hint ;-)
I checked the JSON representation of a Cerberus card and the ID seems to be 8. I initially thought it would be a Caesar shift by 8, but doesn't quite make sense considering there are numbers in the ciphertext.
The way the ciphertext is aligned looks it could be resolved to a string of HEX but I hit a dead end at that too. It doesn't seem like Octal encoding as well.
I guess I will just have to wait for the next hint :(. Anyway, I don't play Steem Monsters, just interested in this puzzle :). So if I do get to win anything, it goes to @jlordc.
Thanks! I already did try the caesar shift (from 0 -26) and it lead me nowhere too xD
Tried the hex and octal conversion, even ciphers like playfair since they are grouped in two but failed XD
You probably are on the right track though as @cknr7 pointed out the Steem Monster "ID" and it really seems that every card has a unique ID as seen here.
My Cerberus Card
I thought it was just a matter of copy-pasting the string above but it seems the "ID" only has a string of 10 and the one above is of 24 xD
Yea. Have to wait for the next hint. Lol..

Not bad at all guys! The next hint will help you for sure. I will do another post about it (at 4pm GMT or so) including the Bonus Pack draw.
Lol.. will take a look
