Puzzle:
11101 00010 01010 11111 01010 01111 10101 00110 001011101100010001001 100111000110000000001 100110101010011010011 010010001001011000001 001011101010101011100 1100000101111 0110001100011 1011001110000 1010111100011 0101110100110 1000111011001 0010110010010 0011000010011

I'm not telling you what to do with this.
Result of solving is 5 letters of giveaway link xxXxx.
Giveaway ends at midnight CET.
Hints MAY appear here.

Also I'm pretty sure that nobody will solve this one :)

EDIT: you CAN solve it as group, I don't care. :)

Some answers to your questions:

  1. It's not just binary as you clearly see.
  2. As a result of 2-3 steps you will get 5 letters, 2 small, big and 2 small again. You will have to put it after www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/
  3. Hint(s) maybe at 7 p.m. CET. They still won't help you. :P

Solution:
Chris1507 was veeeeery close to solve this one. He made good choice to paint the numbers. And I'm very curious why nobody noticed it's QR code? Used Chris's picture to get solution. Ofc that yellow version is not readable (or maybe is, need to check it...) so proper one is here. After reading it in some online QR code reader we get "kvZoc" and that's proper part of giveaway link.

There's something called gray code that looks similar to binary. But I couldn't get anything from it. Anyone else tried it?

Putting the digits into Excel with conditional formatting shows this. Is there an answer in there somewhere??

I was thinking the 5-digit codes could relate to the first two (lower case) letters, the 21-digit codes could reveal the upper case letter and the remaining 13 digit codes would supply the final two letters. However, turning the image on its side doesn't seem to help.

Please look at my comment below, it seems I have figured out something similar.

"eight 5's, three 21's, and eight 13's"

I shall share my success:

Let us take the first 8 parts of this 'code' (pay attention):
11101 00010 01010 11111 01010 01111 10101 00110

11101 >>> 3+1+1 = 5,
00010 >>> 3+1+1 = 5,
01010 >>> 1+1+1+1+1 = 5,
11111 >>> 5 = 5,
01010 >>> 1+1+1+1+1 = 5,
01111 >>> 1+4 = 5,
10101 >>> 1+1+1+1+1 =5,
00110 >>> 2+2+1 = 5,

This brings us to a total of eight 5's.
Do this for the rest of the puzzle and as a total you receive eight 5's, three 21's, and eight 13's.
And now I'm stumped. GOOD LUCK

Comment has been collapsed.

are we talking "big" and "small" as capitalized and non-capitalized? cause if you mean that the 2nd is 'big' ( and therefore under this logic 'capitalized' ) that would be wrong because the sequence of the 5 letter is small-small-big-small-small

NOnono I think it's:

11101 00010 01010 11111 01010 01111 10101 00110 <- 1 letter

001011101100010001001 100111000110000000001 100110101010011010011 010010001001011000001 001011101010101011100 <- 2 letters

1100000101111 0110001100011 1011001110000 1010111100011 0101110100110 1000111011001 0010110010010 0011000010011 <- 2 letters
