Interesting Challenge
I found this challenge thing on a website (http://openchallenge-itispossible.com/) the other day. I've been working on it since but it's hard. Maybe someone out there can do better.
The text is mostly Latin and I'm pretty sure the bottom text is hex but it comes up as non-sense when I convert it ASCII or unicode. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the golden ratio since that's featured so prominently.
Anyone have any ideas or seen this before?
I posted this a little while ago when there was still some interest in the giraffe puzzle/challenge so this is technically a repost. Original post is here: http://imgur.com/gallery/if6FTeJ

I am working on using the binary to calculate the constants of an SHA512 has. let's see where that takes us.

hash not has...

oh crap guys, forget you saw this image. stop trying to solve it.... oh crap...

So I just opened note pad and did the top line of binary. Took a bit, but then I entered it into a translator. Came up with this?

Could be onto something here, not sure what but something.

That was with Binary to decimal. Binary to text doesnt do anything, and Idk wtf hexadecimal is but it's a bunch of 3's 0's and 1's..

hexadecimal is just base 16. binary is base 2 and our normal numbers are base 10. So you can convert between them pretty easily.

Idk how these things work so if you have already my apologies, but I'd suggest using all that code going around the swirly thing.

Also I feel like there are 3 seperate messages in the 1's & 0's because of the way they are colored. Some are bold, some are dark, some are

I didn't even try that stuff since it looks too hard to read and everything else is clear. Great idea, thanks!

inbetween

the bottom is probably some kind of hash
vintagejk
A 256 bit hash would only be 64 hex characters... Thanks for the idea, it's another path to go down.

I am sorry I cant tell you want algorithm it might come from but to help in your path but good luck
