What have I typed here and why?
500 sats for the first person to tell me what I've said.
Another 500 sats for the first to explain why it belongs on SN...
You've until @k00b gives the winner to the Meme Monday competition, on Tuesday, to solve it...
For those who don't know already - The answer is quite interesting!

We have a 500 sat winner! 🥳
If it's just a lucky guess, well done. If not, how did you work it out? Can you show your steps?

Indeed a lucky guess! I thought it might be a playfair cipher, or one of Carroll's after I read your other post on SN. I tried some sites that encrypt/decrypt ciphers and had no luck.
I guessed it because it didn't seem like double letters in the hidden message translated to double letters in the encryption. Was it a mixed alphabet cipher? Or Alice cipher? Or are they the same thing?
And maybe you reached a 404 error on SN and got lost in a maze? Is that why it belongs here?

Hi. Well done on your successful guess.
Try out these two ciphers from Carroll - I'm sure that you'll be able to do it. https://lewiscarrollresources.net/ciphers/alphabet.html or https://lewiscarrollresources.net/ciphers/telegraph.html
I really like your 404 idea - It's almost as good as the real reason. As the deadline was approaching ( and I felt that no-one would get it) - especially the second part. I decided to write out the whole shebang about L.C. being a cryptographer. That seemed avgood enough reason for the puzzle to be on SN!
The chancellor thing really was an accidental find. I stumbled upon it when I read about his ciphers - and I felt it was far too good not to include...
Really well done Monsieur! Hope you enjoy his ciphers too 🧐

I think this is way too difficult - even if it's a 19th century cipher.
It does have rabbit-hole connections though.

I have no idea but if you're the bitman from the crypto casino sites, 1000 sats is less than pennies to you and you should be giving away an amount that isn't a slap in the face to people.

A crypto casino site?
Yikes! That's definitely not me.
