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.

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.
 
 
 
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 kids section contained several hidden messages.
 
 
 
The path traced by the butterfly is actually Morse code:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
- .... . -.--  -.. --- -. -  -.- -. --- .--  .-- .  .- .-. .  .... . .-. .  -.-- . -
 
THEY DONT KNOW WE ARE HERE YET
 
</pre>
 
 
 
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>
 
 
 
The numbers in the butterfly's wings, when converted to letters using the same cipher, reveal the following message:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
19 8 5 19 14 15 20 19 1 14 5
 
SHES NOT SANE
 
</pre>
 
 
 
The [https://www.conficturaindustries.com/ Confictura] site was also updated with a new quote in a hidden area, last accessed earlier in the ARG.  The hidden quote can be uncovered as follows:
 
 
 
The visitor counter at the bottom can be adjusted manually by clicking on it.  Setting the visitor counter to <code>0736565</code> causes the visitor counter to be replaced with a text box.  Entering <code>blackanddeepdesires</code> into the textbox causes the Confictura page to completely change, revealing the hidden message:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
If you drink much from a bottle marked “poison” it is almost certain to disagree with you sooner or later.
 
</pre>
 
 
 
This message is a quote from Lewis Carroll's [https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rgs/alice-I.html Alice's Adventures in Wonderland].
