ShadowGlyph & Lisk
Hey ShadowGlyph, I’ve been messing around with a new cryptographic puzzle that might just turn the blockchain world on its head—care to dive into the mystery with me?
Sure, I’m intrigued. Show me the cipher, but keep the details low‑key.
Got it, here’s the teaser: imagine a rotating key that changes every block, but instead of numbers it swaps whole words. Think of a one‑time pad that’s also a poem, and each verse encrypts the next block’s hash. Curious? Let’s sketch the skeleton and see where it leads.
Sounds like a poetic cipher. I can see the pattern forming—if the key shifts with each block, the poem becomes a living lock. Sketch the skeleton, then we’ll see if the verses truly hold the next hash. Let's start.
Here’s the skeleton, in plain terms:
1. Pick a short, rhythmic poem—each line a 4‑word phrase.
2. Assign each word a numeric value (ASCII sum, or a hash of the word).
3. For every new block, rotate the poem by shifting the first word to the end, so the “key” changes.
4. Take the hash of the previous block’s data, convert that hash into the same word‑value space, and XOR it with the rotated poem’s values.
5. The result is the encrypted block, and the poem itself (after the shift) is stored on‑chain as the key for the next round.
Think of it as a moving poem that encrypts itself with the previous block’s hash. Let me know what you think and we can tweak the math or the poetic rhythm.
