Cipher Like Puzzle for Anniversary Giveaways

Open
MikBok117

Hello SteamGifters,

Few days ago it was 2SolveMe 2nd anniversary, so to celebrate I decided to create a small challenging puzzle.

Actually I didn't create the cipher myself, my friend who isn't on SteamGifts did. He really loved TomasMacMordain cipher puzzles, so he decided to help me to create one similar for this special occasion.

Award: Victoria 3 (plus 5 other giveaways).

Because it's a challenging one, I will add hints as time passes.

Puzzle:

if 'Hello world' is 'mmloow  ~ll'
and 
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 0123456789 ,.!@#$%^&*()'
is
'ccgeggoikkomoo qsswuww y{zaCCGEGGOIKKOMOO_QSSWUWW_Y[z01337577?99,./ac'% ~.*)i'

what "2Solve.Me" equals to?

Puzzle Link

Hint 0: It's not proper cipher, I am sorry, just cipher like puzzle. You can look at the SG puzzle guide or past TomasMacMordain puzzles, it's in similar fashion.
Hint 1: Left side and right side have the same number of characters (including empty space), so the answer would have the same number of characters as "2Solve.Me"
Hint 2: "SeeSharp" is "wew{isrs"
Hint 3: Think in binary!
Hint 4: It's not a proper cipher, you cannot decode the solution back to the original string.

Edit: Initial passed code had bad spacing (because markdown removed it for some reason), fixed

Well I got as far as writing it all down on a piece of paper and staring at until realizing that I'm not smart enough to figure this out without hints if I am able to solve it! (I did throw some 4 different strings of gibberish at it and it nada)

edit: oooh, okay, now all the strings have equal amount of characters now, that makes more sense (I think).
edit2: ah well, tried a couple more guesses and nada. I never could do Tomas's puzzles.

Bump for solved :D
The spacing confused me a bit, but it worked out after you fixed the issue.

can you decode an encrypted message, or is it a one way only transformation?
