    I ride electric scooters for fun and plan to learn lockpicking. I’m a sucker for cryptographic puzzles but not really good at it.

      I made a replacement cipher for my friend. I sent him a very short story and he was able to decipher it! Made me happy!

      Lockpicking is a blast, you’ve inspired me to bring my kit back out

      I love puzzles like the ones from Huzzle. I should get more but have trouble sitting down and concentrating for longer periods of time if there is no screen in my face.

      Same, I love the idea of cryptography and breaking it but I’m not that good and don’t really have the time, so I dabble a bit and mostly enjoy from afar. I’ve made a few pen and paper ciphers but don’t know how to have anyone test them.

          Yeah I thought so, but I feel weird asking people to solve my random cipher (I feel like a Reddit sub had a rule against asking that). I don’t actually know if it’s good or bad or ridiculous. I barely know the terms. I will have to look around more I guess. I’m sure there people who are the opposite and want to break random ciphers.
