It’s the final week of our Satoshi Cipher quiz series!

If you haven’t taken part yet, you’ve been helping Nick Morris stack free sats. He’s been first to submit the correct answer almost every week so far.

Can anyone stop his winning streak and take the sats this week?

Speaking of sats, The Meetup Breakdown now has its own Lightning address. If you’d like to help cover the running costs of the newsletter and support the work that goes into producing it each week, you can donate to tmb@blink.sv.

§New Businesses Accepting Bitcoin

• 🦶 Footworks Podiatry: A specialist podiatry clinic in West London led by HCPC-registered podiatrist Joanne Ashton, who brings over 30 years of clinical experience in foot health, biomechanics, and custom orthoses. Based at 156 Northfield Avenue, W13 9SB, Footworks offers treatments including chiropody, fungal nail care, verruca therapy, biomechanical assessment, and custom 3D-printed orthoses through its private membership model. Patients may also meet Basil, the clinic’s long-standing rescue Amazon parrot, who adds a little extra character to the waiting room.

§🕵️ The Satoshi Cipher -Week 12

Prize: 3,000 sats ⚡

Cipher: Multi-layer (Base64 + A1Z26) first converts the plaintext into A1Z26 numbers (A=1) with “/” for spaces, then Base64-encodes that numeric string. Reverse the layers—Base64 decode, then map numbers to letters—to get the answer.
