 		Also FLACON/A86-WJCR came back as ALREADY AUTHORISED which may be because FLACON by itself had already been submitted.

 		Are we missing two corresponding phone codes then?

ETA: reading back, yeah we did already have FLACON authorized. So just PHYFE outstanding I think.

The problem right now is that someone has submitted the code and received an authorization, but hasn't posted a) the authorization code, b) a recording of the authorized audio, or c) a picture of the resulting SSTV image made from the audio.

and d) brute forcing an 8 digit code is just a little too time consuming Wink

 		New Video Tweeted
I'm just about to start looking for clues but here it is: I could only find the single barcode shown.


YouTube: Link
There is an Aztec barcode on the first frame after the 2nd Ascend logo with the presenter talking about Bitcoins.
It decodes to:

 		Coffee Beaut catch, GuestUser17. There's a block of text (almost indiscernible) at 2:46 under the final Ascend logo (lower right hand side). Have tried & failed to get a clear screencap/view.

So, my *sorry* refrain again and whoever has the PHYFE authentication please post it b/c better late than never. Am continuing to work on these curses deleted codes. TGIF all.

 		Here is a quick grab of that block.

ALSO, there is another Aztec code at 0:49.

 		2nd Aztec Code
I would assume there is one hidden in the 3rd clip too as both of those are exactly 200 characters long and the text block appears to only be 120 characters. If someone can find it and post it I'll adjust it so that it will scan and post the results here. Here is the 2nd code that was just posted:

I'm trying to get a larger capture of the text block but even knowing where it is I can't see it!! Maybe once I can get inside somewhere dark I will be able to get it. I've attached the best I could do on adjusting brightness and contrast for now.

 		What are you using for the Aztec? I've been trying Zxing with a better enhanced image and was still unable to get it to decode.

 		Aztec Reader
I went to my iPod and searched the App Store for "aztec" and found the first app that was some kind of barcode reader - NeoReader. It still took some messing around with brightness and contrast but being able to tilt the reader seemed to be the advantage over Zxing.

 		New email image
There are letters running down both arms but I have not attempted to transcribe them yet as it's really late and my eyes are having a hard enough time staying open never mind trying to read that text! Smile
