[[File:Ecoininvite.jpg|thumbnail|The invitation email]]
 
 
 
On ''(date?)'', an invitation email was sent out to players subscribed to the mailing list.  The invitation describes an Ecoin launch party, to be held on October 5.  However, the email also contained a hidden message.  The letters above each large bubble of champagne spelled out the message:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
BITLYSEWGI
 
</pre>
 
 
 
By navigating to [http://bit.ly/sewgi bit.ly/sewgi], players were redirected to the [https://my.e-coin.com/event RSVP page] for the Ecoin launch party.  At the bottom of this page, the following image was found:
 
 
 
[[File:Launch-banner.jpg|800px|center]]
 
 
 
The image above spells out <code>SILENT SIN</code> in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_type Moon alphabet].  After responding to the RSVP page with <code>SILENT SIN</code>, the RSVP page's appearance completely changed, and displayed the following message:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
Congratulations, your eyes have been opened and we now call
 
on you to join our resistance. On October 5th, while Evil
 
Corp is blinded by its own opulence, we will seize control of
 
this Ecoin bacchanal and embarrass them on a global stage.
 
These bourgeois oppressors have fashioned themselves a golden
 
throne and placed the legs squarely on our backs. Together,
 
we will rise up and burn that throne to the ground. Stand
 
with us as we fight for a new tomorrow.
 
 
 
If, and only if, you will be attending the Ecoin Launch Party
 
in person, leave us your email below and you will be
 
contacted by one of our operatives with your directive soon.
 
You must enter the same email used to RSVP to the Ecoin
 
Launch Party. Do not share this page or this message.
 
</pre>
 
 
 
=== October 4, 2017 ===
 
 
 
On the day prior to the Ecoin launch event, the [https://www.red-wheelbarrow.com/ Red Wheelbarrow] and [https://www.conficturaindustries.com/ Confictura] websites (both of which were used earlier in the ARG) were updated.
 
 
 
==== Red Wheelbarrow ====
 
 
 
[[File:Color by numbers.png|thumbnail|right|The color by numbers page found on the [https://www.red-wheelbarrow.com/ Red Wheelbarrow site]]]
 
 
 
The [https://www.red-wheelbarrow.com/ Red Wheelbarrow] site was updated with an entirely new site layout, along with a kids section.  The "color by numbers" printout in the new "kids" section of the site contained several hidden messages.
 
 
 
First, the path traced by the butterfly is actually Morse code:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
- .... . -.--  -.. --- -. -  -.- -. --- .--  .-- .  .- .-. .  .... . .-. .  -.-- . -
 
THEY DONT KNOW WE ARE HERE YET
 
</pre>
 
 
 
Second, the numbers in the sun, when converted to letters using a simple [http://rumkin.com/tools/cipher/numbers.php substitution cipher], reveal the following message:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
19 8 5 19 14 15 20 8 15 14 5 19 20
 
SHES NOT HONEST
 
</pre>
 
 
 
==== Confictura ====
 
 
 
The [https://www.conficturaindustries.com/ Confictura] site was also updated ''(with what?)''.  The visitor counter at the bottom can be adjusted manually by clicking on it.  Setting the visitor counter to <code>0736565</code> ''(how did we get this???)'' causes the visitor counter to be replaced with a text box.  Entering <code>blackanddeepdesires</code> causes the Confictura page to completely change, revealing a message:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
If you drink much from a bottle marked “poison” it is almost certain to disagree with you sooner or later.
 
</pre>
