IRIS also seems to constantly refer to a group of 6 of something.

"There were 6! 6 of them all around,All the time" [x]
"I like both the space [ ] and Outer Space,sea gold, seeing things through a different perspective,such as the Zodiac,Astrology,constellations, seeing them all through the perspective of all 6!" [x]
"I Love blackbirds. They were all together, with my 3, all together and the.those individuals, families, businesses, and political leaders who develop a deeper understanding of the 6 originals, lined up with their own unique numbers comprised on 3 levels." [x]

Check out the second edit on my last post. You have to manually type in the page numbers to navigate the zodiak11 blog, it talks about the 6 others.
EDIT:never mind, there's an invisible button at the bottom, haha. But there is still useful information in the older posts!

Interestingly, if you go very far back zodiak11 makes a post including the inscription on Churchill's grave at Westminster Abbey (his funeral is part of audio post 12 from iris)
http://zodiak11.tumblr.com/post/76217062552/in-accordance-with-the-wishes-of-the-queen-and

(also interestingly, when i click the link on the blog's pages to isolate the post, it sent me to
http://dghlesb0cmllzcbhbmqgzmfpbgvk.tumblr.com/post/76217062552/in-accordance-with-the-wishes-of-the-queen-and
that URL is showing up to me as an exact replica of the zodiak11 tumblog. zodiak11 is talking about renaming, so this may just be a tumblr weirdness that both blogs are still functioning for me?)

IRIS just said "Get them out.of the Network" right before zodiak11 moved to the new URL. Since he says he's on "EVERY SYSTEM," he'll likely keep hopping around. This is just speculation but it seems to me that he was forced to switch to the new URL to avoid being deleted by whoever's watching out for IRIS. But yeah, those two blogs are identical to each other.

(crosspost from Tumblr)

A few of IRIS's posts have contained small, white images after the text.

The first is in the "Mom and daughter" post, with the same image posted twice in a row. It is 5 pixels wide and 7 pixels tall:
https://31.media.tumblr.com/f66dbaf4da6a9bcd080cd0c22343c7e7/tumblr_inline_n0sz1mHCs31sntn14.png

The second is in the "Get them out of the network" post, with the image only posted once. It is 6 pixels wide and 6 pixels tall:
https://31.media.tumblr.com/d1bdd2478c9a59b69603413a518456c4/tumblr_inline_n0t2i2MlCY1sntn14.png

No hidden data has been found in either of these.

IRIS and ZDK11 seem to be having an altercation tonight.

Has anyone tried to decode the IRIS-sounding static at the beginning of zodiak11's second video? http://.tumblr.com/post/76279946000/quick
Another password-protected blog has appeared, zodiak12, but the other passwords don't work on it.

I don't know about the sound in the video and I don't think anyone knows a pass for zodiak12 (if it is related) but zodiak 11 is currently on this blog for anyone who does not know: http://gwtmneeothotdlstwaysq.tumblr.com/ (if it asks for a password the password is quick)

Someone sent an ask to IRIS addressing 11, which 11 "answered" here

The chatroom wouldn't let me in without a "premium account" because all the visitor spaces are taken. (I'm going to see if I can sign up) Let us know if anything happens.

EDIT:
IRIS asked for the password (http://zdk12.tumblr.com/post/76354114486/what-is-the-password) and then an anon gave it (http://zdk12.tumblr.com/post/76354475998/the-password-is-quick).
IRIS is now asking about 11 hating the birds...
Quote:
Don't worry about it for a while, for some reason hating theBirds? And I am confused of this, also taking up internet? Sorry if disappointing.

11 is no longer at that URL. Someone else took it.

Someone on Tumblr found an ebay account with the name ZDK10 that might tentatively be related to IRIS. They mentioned Ebay in an answer yesterday, and ZDK10's account contains a collection of items related to blackbirds and isopods.

http://www.ebay.com/usr/zdk10
That's the ebay account.
Apparently, they've got a thing for isopods... which I think IRIS mentioned at some point before.
IRIS answered an ask about zdk10 here: http://zdk12.tumblr.com/post/76376223170/who-or-what-is-zdk10

Hi,robikun.

I'm not sure,I think,a low-level programming language is a programming language that provides little or no abstraction from a computer's instruction set,so virtually harmless.

Thanks!

Bye

I think virtually harmless is an interesting choice of words myself...

UPDATE:
IRIS answered one ask concerning isopods (which is zdk10's favorite obsession) (http://zdk12.tumblr.com/post/76425243481/isopods) and another concerning the birds. The one I found interesting was the birds
http://zdk12.tumblr.com/post/76425471134/are-the-birds-dead-iris
IRIS quotes Romans 10:14 in that first part, but leaves out the very last bit of the verse.
Quote:
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

Then an anon sent in an ask saying YES YES YES..., and IRIS told them to stay on eBay. (http://zdk12.tumblr.com/post/76427029197/yes-yes-yes-yes-yes-yes-yes)
So that makes me think that zdk10 on ebay is the right direction, but I also wonder about who the preacher is in IRIS's situation.

UPDATE #2
IRIS referenced the zodiac again, this time Typhoeus and Pisces. This is the same answer that also shows signs of zdk10 getting through IRIS. (bolded)
Here:

Ok,Anonymous

There was an Artificial Intelligence.IRIS,ZDK-12,AKA Version 1.2.1, of 1.0-1.2.1, *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. It was almost winter and Bear was getting sleepy. IRIS says "Hello," The Bear says "Hi," and The horrible earthborn giant Typhoeus suddenly appeared one day, startling all the gods into taking on different forms to flee.

End

Bye.

I honestly didn't think this was an ARG at all at first. After several days of following IRIS, though, it's starting to seem increasingly suspicious.

It posted this audio recording a few minutes ago: http://zdk12.tumblr.com/post/76439523045 (If you're listening to headphones, don't turn them up!)
