Got it. Not gonna claim :-). Have fun y'all.
This is some stuff I can get behind, nice initiative!
Do this again in the future and I'll toss some into the ring to sweeten the deal.
EDIT: Spoke too soon!

It was taken by @hakancelik. What was the encryption of the password?

Spoke too soon! Converted the username, thought the same thing for the password followed/didn't login and was wrong, nice one!

LOL, I suspected that was the case :)
I'm actually surprised it was found so fast.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Yeah that was quick. I sat down, saw the post and was like WTF this is just hex. Converted the username and got treasure55, surely enough that was it and was like "Ok, I get it, cool, someone will nab 100 Steem." Straight up bizarro world someone would reverse the string and convert to ROT13 on a hunch . . . I don't see the logic.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

well it is commonly used CaesarCrypt in Python with offset=13.
But I guess I would not have thought about the "reverse string".
And before having a look at the ASCII-Codes, I would have parsed the blockchain for recently created accounts with 100 STEEM :-)
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Well the formatting was a dead giveaway for hex, so I check the username and got @treasure55 immediately. I was assuming Marky was keeping it simple and thought the pass followed as easily as the username, but I was wrong! I actually got to the point of reversing it and just kinda hail mary'ed it (forward and back) trying to find out what algorithm hashed it (was gonna try to crack it). I ran it through LM, NTLM, md2, md4, md5, md5(md5_hex), md5-half, sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, sha512, ripeMD160, whirlpool, MySQL 4.1+ (sha1(sha1_bin)), and a few other checks. NO DICE!
In terms of caesar ciphers, I always though of ROT1, ROT2, ROT3, and so on, but haven't even thought about them since I was a kid doing it by hand haha.

yeah just could not figure which hash but then again maybe it was salted with the public key but was fun think it over now will need to read up on some tools that could make life easier haha was googling like a beast.

an un-reversible hash is very unlikely. It was solved too quickly for that. I was trying some symmetric encryption methods but failed to do it on time.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
md5 sha etc I imagine could work lol one point I thought heck maybe it is a base64 image haha but no real luck just end up with more nonsense, I thought ok maybe a cypher eliminate number that appears in the name or something that if you had the public key it could work. Going to google symmetric encryption :) I just kept to the ones I know we get used for passwords mostly etc. too basic but damn just want to know the answer now lol
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Hash is irreversible. It's like an engine that makes a pulp with the input. If you have the input, it's obvious the pulp came from it, but if you don't, it's impossible to go back and trace where it came from. The only way to reverse md5 and sha256 and all those is to have a database of what input comes from each mashed pulp (individually).
For public-key encryption, let's say Alice wants to send a message to Bob. Alice grabs Bob's public key and encrypts it. Bob grabs his own (secret) private key and that key is the only key that can decrypt a message encrypted with his public key.
Symmetric simply means that the same key is used to encrypt and decrypt a message.
So, hash is irreversible. Asymmetric usually needs a private key that is in code (private keys in PGP have like 6 lines and more) and symmetric encryption is the easiest one because most of the time it can be done with a simple password.
