On February 2018, a series of videos depicting cryptic monitors and symbols were found on a YouTube channel named 'RW50cm9weQ'. This page documents the efforts made to decipher the videos and uncover the mysteries behind the channel.

Shortly after the discovery of the channel, users quickly found that the channel name, RW50cm9weQ, was base64 translating to Entropy.
The channel consisted of two playlists named |||||||||| and -||||- respectively.
||||||||||
The playlist titled |||||||||| contained 10 videos depicting a monitor showcasing a series of symbols. All the videos in the playlist lasted exactly 1 minute and 22 seconds and possessed a similar structure.
00:00 - 00:08 - Monitor boots up. 00:08 - 00:13 - Initial symbol (thumbnail) is shown. 00:13 - 00:18 - A low-quality image is displayed. 00:18 - 01:03 - A sequence of 15 additional symbols is shown. 01:03 - 01:07 - Monitor fully lights up. 01:07 - 01:12 - Channel logo displayed. 01:12 - 01:22 - Monitor shuts down.
Note: The tenth video in |||||||||| contains 16 additional symbols instead of 15.
The ten videos give us a total of 10 initial (thumbnail) symbols and 151 additional characters. The thumbnail symbols are speculated to be a base 10 number system, and the additional characters part of an elaborate alphabet.
Note: This chart is for lookup purposes only and should not be used as a translation tool.
-||||-
The playlist titled -||||- contained 4 videos lasting around 30 seconds. The video shows the same monitor found in the previous playlist, displaying the channel logo followed by various combinations of the known symbols from ||||||||||. The last video accompanied its strings with background images, possibly hinting towards the meanings behind the strings.
Users are currently attempting to solve the meaning behind each symbol in ||||||||||, in order to be able to interpret these strings.
This page will be updated as the ARG progresses.
