- It's a Crypto-World -
If you do keep up with my blog, you will come to realize that it can be quite an eclectic mix of topics that I post about here on steemit. I have mentioned my love of challenges such as games like chess, 21 blackjack and No Limit Texas Hold'em Poker. I also love doing word search puzzles but much more prefer crossword puzzles.
So on that note, here is my first attempt at creating a simple crossword puzzle based on the world of cryptography. I hope some of the answers aren't too hard or the clues not good enough for a solution. All answer can of course be easily googled, or as I heard an older luddite say the other day, "kids, get out your googles."
Rules:
- Up vote this post
- Post your answers in the comment section. Correct answers will be up voted. You can answer or comment more than once, only correct answers will be up voted, and 1 incorrect answer will negate all other responses in same comment. So if in doubt, make separate comments for answers.
- The longer, harder or bigger the answer, the bigger the up vote
- Have fun and ask any questions
For example comment:
1A = whatever (which means the answer to 1 across is "whatever"
3D = Coin (which would mean the answer to 3 down is the word "coin)
Puzzle clues

Well done sir!
This was so much fun, thank you!!
Thank you for participating. I wasn't too sure how this would work out or if anyone would even be interested. Thanks again @predict-crypto
I would do this literally every day and I'm sure others would too, this was such a great idea.
Glad you liked it @rises9112 I will add hints to the clues if some don't get solved. I know some of my clues are not the best. Thanks for stopping by.

Never actually played one of these before, so I may make mistakes though.
I think 3A=Larimer?
@josediccus My bad, I guess the markdown code autocorrected my numbers, so I had to fool the markdown code to get the numbers rights. You are correct for 6 across though.!!
Looks interested game but be true my iq level is weak.
The ones I know are already filled and done. Lol
That's ok @wa2qr on the bright side, you will learn something from the ones that you didn't know when they are answered and filled.
27A: Alberti
@seha76 you are correct but that one has already been answered. Thank you though.
@seha76 you are correct but that one has already been answered. Thank you though.

30D = DOS (1st freeware encryption program for the public?)
I will be adding more clues to the harder unanswered parts of the puzzle later @wiseyes
17A = SATOSHIS (Bitcoin followers?)
@wiseeyes, this one has already been correctly answered. The answer is, "altcoins," because they followed after Bitcoin. Thanks for participating.
It looks fun maybe i will try it i mean i'm in my job hehehe. Regards
Really great and fabulous language
Good choice, dear

14 down=trash?
19d steemit
Wooooooooooo this is brain teasing, I guess a person vast in tech knowledge will do better, it may be so Wrong lol, but I guess I just wanna try 😂😂😂
@josediccus remember 1 wrong answer amongst good ones ruins the comment so better if you list them one at a time unless you 100% sure of multiple answer comment.... 3d is semi wrong and 14d is wrong
Wow my! I'm going to have to try individually

@journeyoflife got this one
12D = Turing
@jordangerder answered this one @journeyfoflife

Thanks for trying @roman-sabil but that one has already been answered.
