arpox

Who this is

A Twitter account, @Arpoxy, older than the puzzle it solved. Arweave Puzzle 4 went up on May 25, 2019 with 250 AR, got another 250 at the end of August, and moved on November 10. Text riddles, and an answer string with a percent sign, a name and a long run of zeros in it. The kind of answer where you're sure you have it and the page still says no, because the separator is wrong.

Almost five hours after the claim, arpox replied to the series account: "I solved puzzle 4." Then the whole answer, then "Thank you for these puzzles!" No thread, no victory lap. That's the whole post.

What the record says

Two facts. The solver's own tweet, which is the stronger one because it has the answer in it, and ZorenX's write-up that credits the handle. The tweet is archived in the repository, because tweets have a habit of disappearing.
