The Post
Post #9 is the moment the hunt moved from X into the website portal.
Website Portal: PIN → TV Interface
Opening neuko.ai revealed a TV with an Unlock section and a 6-symbol PIN prompt.
The PIN was found in Post 7.
After entering the correct PIN, the site unlocked a TV interface with channels 0–999.
Most channels were static, but a small set contained signals.
Credit: A lot of channel discovery was accelerated by @afkboom, who used software to locate the active channels quickly.
Additional discovery credit goes to @thrax_nft, who identified a disabled “Saint Juniper Research Campus” portal through console and source inspection. Extracted .txt files contained G*Boy logs detailing badge protocols, integrity checks, and operational directives, confirming the planned structure of badge distribution.
Active Channels (at the time)
| Channel | Title |
|---|---|
| 1 | G*BOY |
| 13 | GAMBLIN! |
| 28 | The Crubtub |
| 49 | Real History |
| 55 | No Signal |
| 77 | archives_x_01.vid |
| 86 | archives_x_02.vid |
| 101 | archives_x_03.vid |
| 200 | Rabbits! |
| 203 | archives_x_04.vid |
| 463 | Moths! |
| 550 | archives_x_05.vid |
| 717 | archives_x_06.vid |
| 777 | archives_x_07.vid |
Channels with obvious broadcasts drew attention first (1, 13, 28, 49, 200, 463), but the important ones were the “quiet” archive channels and Channel 55:
55, 77, 86, 101, 203, 550, 717, 777
These could appear empty until you stayed long enough-then they revealed hidden messages.
Channel 55 - Spectrogram Message
Channel 55 contained an audio clue with a spectrogram message:
Decoded message:
signals hide where the channels hum.
the key is underneath the static.
This was the “you’re close” signpost that pushed people to keep extracting.
The archives_x Series (01–07)
The channels below followed a consistent naming pattern: archives_x_01.vid → archives_x_07.vid.
- 77 - archives_x_01.vid
- 86 - archives_x_02.vid
- 101 - archives_x_03.vid
- 203 - archives_x_04.vid
- 550 - archives_x_05.vid
- 717 - archives_x_06.vid
- 777 - archives_x_07.vid
View archives_x frames (optional)
Each archive video contained one or more messages that functioned like riddles.

Interpreting the Riddles → 12 Numbers
There were 7 archive channels with messages. The community realized these messages referenced the NeukoAI X videos released up to that date.
Each riddle resolved to a number. Across the full set, 12 numbers were obtained-strongly suggesting a 12-word seed phrase.
Extracted sequence: 9 10 17 7 24 4 12 8 14 15 25 2
Underneath the Static: key.txt
By inspecting the website network requests in devtools, a file was found:
It contained 30 indexed words:
| # | Word | # | Word | # | Word |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ember | 11 | moss | 21 | synth |
| 2 | farm | 12 | focus | 22 | delta |
| 3 | static | 13 | gravel | 23 | echo |
| 4 | first | 14 | step | 24 | chicken |
| 5 | pulse | 15 | ready | 25 | square |
| 6 | fracture | 16 | lantern | 26 | coil |
| 7 | apple | 17 | crawl | 27 | fever |
| 8 | wife | 18 | glass | 28 | shrine |
| 9 | record | 19 | tether | 29 | token |
| 10 | deny | 20 | marrow | 30 | hush |
Mapping the 12 numbers to the word list produced the seed phrase:
record deny crawl apple chicken first focus wife step ready square farm
The Reward
The seed phrase unlocked the wallet: 71o2Q6oKUbTujnHmKXSSj2VD3EJZ3vUbwGTRN9yei32D
The treasure was 3 Snake Badges, claimed in a timed race by @DendiRedemption
Extra Note (Channel 717 Message Correction)
During the solve, Channel 717 originally displayed:
“JPX SPEAK ONCE. NOT ITS CHANNEL.”
This appeared to be an error and was later updated to:
“THE SNAKE STRIKES. RECORD ITS CHANNEL.”
