Operation "muh sekrit place" merry No.5022 [D][U][F][S][L][A][C] >>5026

ITT we discuss on how to advertise nanochan to receptive anons found in the interwebz in a stealthy way; For example let's imagine that you find a cool anon on another imageboard that says interesting stuff, makes cool discussion and seems to not be a retard, how would you point him to this hidden service without:
1. Attracting other unwanted retards to this holy place.
2. Attracting the attention of the other imageboard mods that will remove the post.
and at the same time making it at least possible for the anon to interpret the message in a consistent way?
Possible stuff that i thought:
1. Using a GPG encrypted message, the problems with this are that you need the anon to give a GPG key first and it would attract the attentions of the other imageboard mods.
2. Using some kind of proxy website like a pastebin, this still doesn't solve the problem of what message to put in the paste without making it obvius for other people that will click on the paste.
3. Hiding it in plain sight, with some kinds of double meaning phrases, not sure how to do this without making it either too easy or impossible to decipher.

Or a combination of the three.

Of course just pasting the link is not an option for obvious reasons.

Some other ideas:
1. Using a specially edited image with visual clues hidden in it.
2. Using a specially edited gif or webm with stuff hidden between frames and secret messages at the end.
3. Morse code in an audio file.
4. Using simple(and insecure) ciphers, like substitution ciphers, transposition chiphers and Vigenère chiphers, while giving clues on the solution in other ways for example in the image or email.

Even if some of these are insecure, i doubt retards are gonna go through the effort of solving the puzzle right?

PGP seems like the most straightforward way to do what you're talking about, and I don't really see what the harm would be in drawing admin attention, especially if this was on a tor image board.
I like the idea of making a little puzzle that reveals the url when solved though. It would naturally filter out retards and also it's fun! Maybe some sort of steganography image puzzle

The easiest way is to just attempt to establish another mode of communication, as in to try to get their email, IRC nick, forum username, steam account or whatever, then give them the url in private messages. But PGP's fine too
>>5023
Script kiddies would, quality posters usually wouldn't give enough of a fuck to solve the puzzle, and you might attract the bad kind of autists that ruin threads with their obsession or something like that.

I got here by asking around in IRC.

Any input on how difficult the puzzle should be? I have some skill at this.

Yeah, that's what I would be wary of as well. The trouble is making the puzzle obvious enough for people so they don't have to put in tons of work to obtain the answer or learn specifically obscure shit. ASCII art with the URL baked into it via patterns could work.

Still, if you wanted to go the route of >>5023, there are some ways to embed what you want. Babby's first with images is least significant bit for PNGs (which is why I chose it). Lots of fun to be had with that one, from just embedding text or base64 to bicolor black and white images baked into the original. Speaking of which, mine should have the url in those bits at the very start, just be careful of parsing non-standard characters and input from things like this in general - or you can get pwned.

There's always the possibility of using a test server with an "I found it" button or something like that. That way methods could be tested, to see if any of them actually work.
