Explanation
- Read the length. 1,296 hex characters = 64 × 20 + 16, i.e. N = 20 GUIDs encrypted with 3DES plus one 8-byte padding block. Every post-cutover filler post has exactly this shape.
- Key unknown. The post-cutover key (2013-10-16 onwards) has not been found, so the GUIDs themselves cannot be read. Everything else about the post is accounted for.
- Explain the count. This post is draw 139 of Run 73 (seed 546,388,634):
new Random(546388634), Next(10,35) per post. The RNG predicts N = 20; the post has N = 20 ✓. The seed is the machine's uptime in ms when the app started (boot 2016-01-13 11:18–12:18). - Conclusion. Filler. Structure and count are explained; the GUIDs are presumed filler like every decrypted post before the cutover.
