I think that I found the solution.
The picture that @howtostartablog discovered is encrypted with the Bacon's cipher, after decryption you come up with the word SteemFest which is the answer for the defuse link. In there is a link for a website with the following image
After translating the letters on that image you come up with the word "laser" which I believe is the answer =D @timsaid
What about the hint of MD5... I think that this must coincide with the checksum of the final response
I can not figure out what is the language of the letters... how do you get "laser"
I cut the first letter and reversed searched in Google. Then I came up with the language. Actually is a language from a game, Legends of Zelda
Congratulations
Congrats man!
But the binary in the background!!!!
