Who this is

klems is the name on the Nostr profile. cryptop1r4t3 is the handle in the EXIF of all 34 frames and on the X account that announced the puzzle. The Movie Enigma went out on Twitter, Instagram and Nostr in March 2022, the platforms compressed the stills badly, so a small website followed. The prize was 100,000 sats of the author's own money and the donor list on the wallet page never got a second entry. It was solved in September 2026.

There's a personal site behind the analytics domain the puzzle site loads. The record doesn't go there. A puzzle published under a pseudonym gets a page about the pseudonym.

What the record says

The announcement post for the date and the author's own framing, 80% movie quiz and 20% reflexion. The About page for the publication order. The frames page for the signature in the metadata, which is a fact about the files and the one thing that ties the handle to the carrier. The wallet page for the funding and the donor list.
