It's actually 'steGAnography', right? I made the exact same typo a while ago.

People then said it was a dead end. But it could've been shills trying to fend off. I'm interested.

I brought this up well over 2 months ago in the riot.im chat. It was agreed that it is being used, but not sure as to what lengths. I was pointing out the techno/random music of Heavy Breathing and the likes, wondering if there is rhyme to their bullshit music.

For some reason, this made me think of SSTV. Don't ask me why. It's a way to transmit photos using sound.

Here's how rendering one sounds and looks.

So theoretically, you could send around an audio file that, when opened, simply sounds like digital, ear-killing racket and of no tangible use, but the person on the other end will know how to turn it into a photo of a child, or a location to meet for "pizza".

I made this same connection a month ago... https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1479134/7186154

I noticed that in another post where someone linked to an image of the spectrogram, and it looked really weird (I'm an audio guy, so seeing something pegging off the top end of the scale like that tells me there is something wrong with it). You could say that their audio guy is a total newbie and is higher than hell and doesn't know how to prevent a cymbal crash or snare from pegging the meter, or you could hide CP images (or video if the song/file is long/big enough) using SSTV. Anyone remember the noise of dial-up when you were using AOL and picked up the phone? Same thing... those blips and everything was the data being sent to your computer, but only with the right software that understood that that one blip was a period and not a semi-colon, would you get usable output. One other thing I noticed, in the Majestic Ape songs folder... a lot of the songs are the same file size, which tells me either they're really good at repeating a performance, or the fact that the song is a front and is just padded out with something. If I had the time (currently job hunting), I'd be willing to put my computer (which runs BOINC 24/7, and doubles as a space heater) to work to run all of those songs through any available SSTV decoding software.
