You followed your intuition and stayed on the right track. Solving the puzzle you saved your reward, 100 Steem goes to you.
Solution
Here is a breakthrough, showing step by step what you had to do in order to solve the crypto-puzzle.
and
You can see me on the top
https://defuse.ca/b/rn1J11so6P9DJpGhNCd54n
User @steem.engine knew exactly well what to do! He saw that the first image contains a morse code and successfully decrypted it. The Steemians then had a bunch of random numbers and didn't know what to do. @Steem.engine figured out these have to be coordinates! The problem was the coordinates were above 90° which made no sense. He went deeper and found out the coordinates were also encrypted (ROT 18). The solution was the password for the defuse file.
The string led to a YouTube video
Now the real fun began. For more than a day the Steemians struggled to find out what the second hint meant. They thought about almost everything! Through some religious topics to drugs and more. The answer however was just in front of them. They saw the answer and even thought about it but didn't mention it until one Steemian said the right words.
@kingmotan saw the connections others didn't and managed to solve the last part of the puzzle.
Great work and congratulations to the winner and all who participated. @engine you get 10 Steem for the first hint! Don't miss the next Steemit Crypto Challenge and be prepared.

Very, very tricky.

Lol it was a blast!! Thank you for the congrats , guys.
It took hard work from everyone and I went to bed that night thinking the video was the answer. When I woke up the next morning I found the guys in the chat, together with Tim trying to decipher that video .
Oh, I played that song for at least 20 times, trying to understand every lyric .
I also searched for the song's lyrics and read them a few times trying to find a key . He said it was under our eyes, so I started reading ALL the comments , trying to find a key , something that Tim might have posted but nothing.
Another hour passed and I thought ... it might just be the something to do with that Top comment since the hint was "you can see me on the top "
Oh and I played for about 30 mins on this site: http://www.allscrabblewords.com/word-description/decipher , trying to find the hint encrypted in the hint
It was hella fun (because I won ) and I look forward to the next one
Cheers guys

@timsaid I was so sure that I had the correct answer! So "stay frosty don't get lost in time", the bold text "image look closer" weren't tips then? What a coincidence that the first facebook profile was named "time to eat music" and that it has a profile picture with Charlie cC(& frosty) written on the LP in small letters. lol
