Hey guys, not entirely sure this is the right place to ask but can anyone enlighten me (no pun intended) on how the portal info for the Flash Shards was encoded and whether it's possible to decode upon release?

    Richard Jennings First find a method of encrypting the padded string in the results post from Ingress, there are several websites that will do this for you.  Then compare the hash result to what was listed in the original post from Ingress.  You can't decrypt but you can verify information as being the same that was encrypted.

    One thing that I'm having trouble with is the words with lines through them, maybe someone else can chime in as to why they don't encrypt the same.

    daniel faulkner  the barred string is only due to G+ formatting options a row of chars that starts and ends with an "-" will be barred in the posts like -barred- . the sam goes for chars with leading and trailing "*" they willl be displayed as bold

    so if you have a string like -abc123def456- , you only see 1 leading and 1 trailing "-" & you need at add a second "-" in front and after the string to get them to encode/decode properly

*Is Abaddon to be feared?*

*Is Abaddon to be feared?* My argument is no. I'm interested in knowing the origin of the cited scripture. Or is it scripture? It looks like it may be another person's version of the scripture which comes across as... It feels evil and foreboding. I have 2 sources that paint a different picture. In biblical text the apostle John translated the Hebrew word Abaddon to Greek which is Apollyon. Apollyon means “Destroyer,” and is given as the name of “the angel of the abyss.” Though most reference works apply this name to some evil person or entity, the whole setting of the apocalyptic vision in Revelation is to the contrary. It consistently portrays angels being used by God to bring woe and destruction upon His enemies. Not the devil or his demons. Destruction is not always evil. The Interpreter’s Bible says: “Abaddon, however, is an angel not of Satan but of God, performing his work of destruction at God’s bidding.” It wasn't until the 19th century that the 'angel of the a...

Kalash of Cultures - Pakistan: http://youtu.be/qEXnEfdvv6s The argument: 1. Watch the video; this Dardic mountain tribe plays polo. They fiercely fought for their independence through the ages, till the British arrived; at which point they adopted some British customs like playing polo on weekends (although they claim they invented the game first). 2. The Kalasha have lived in geographic isolation for so long that their DNA has diverged. But, there are markers to suggest that they come from around the Mediterranean(that is, that they are Dardic). There are 2 theories as to how they got there: a. They were travellers along the silk route who decided to settle in a scenic location and sell spices, apricots and cherries (the latter two do not grow in the subcontinent, only in the Mediterranean; and with no contact with the outside world for centuries, there's no other way they could've gotten these fruits) b. They are descendants of Alexander the Great 's armies; who ref...
