From the looks of it. It would be ALPHA- then a random character. From the two we have here we have a + and . after the ALPHA. Perhaps hints to where they are going to be put?

Yeah you could be right there mate. Might be a coincidence, but we'll have to see. Nice spot.

Think they're ok on here mate, we can just extrapolate them later.

I think that's what this thread is for...Compiling can be done on the wiki.

Should there be a thread to post JUST scans of the QR code pieces and nothing else? I know there was an ARG where people had to combine this that or the other to unlock something.

It's hard to tell at the moment. It looks like people who have gotten packages also had their pictures up on their profiles. I don't think anyone has reported a package and an icefly image yet. However, not everyone who has their picture up has gotten a package yet.

The picture thing may be a glitch, and maybe everyone is supposed to have it up now. Judging by the amount of glitches this has had so far, it seems most likely. However, maybe it was on purpose to some degree- so far all profile pictures reported have been genuine and unobscured. It also seems that many people without a profile picture signed up early, which could support both theories.

Are people getting badges also getting their profile pic online or are these independent events?

QR code huh? .....Déjà vu

It does look like a 16 piece component to me assuming its one singular code....uhh or 36..I give up

So assuming the above have we a final count of how many badges have been sent?

I have a picture of my ugly mug on my profile but alas no badge

A QR code *needs* a square on 3 of 4 corners to orient and align itself. Other squares can also appear inside the grid. See varients
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code

But i would laugh if we are building a larger mosaic which turns out to not be a QR code at all, possibly a giant pixelated image -- of an icefly.

(edit later to add, not that people will return to read it)
Our profile's QR piece has a 1x1 pixel inner square, making it an internal data bit per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:QR_Code_Structure_Example_2.svg

When I replied, I meant to emphasize the relative difference between the squares. It's the size of the black square inside the white border inside the outer black square which matters, the number of pixels making up the innermost square. Assume the white and outer black borders are each 1 pixel, then the inner black square would be 4x4 pixels to identify a corner block.

YES! Thank you for understanding hahaha. but I just found it. I knew I had it written down somewhere! This is the link: sc.com/images/profile/qrs/qr/qr?.jpg and if you change the numbers one through nine I believe, you can see the different possible ones & I guess people all had one of them? So. If you had QR7 then the one on your badge is probably part of THAT code. Any thoughts??

It's a good theory but I believe everyone had the same piece of the QR code on their profiles - QR9, the center piece.

If we take the two pieces we have already there are actually only 2 valid QR code sizes, given that each piece is 7x7 pixels. The two valid sizes are either 21x21 which would be a 3x3 grid or 49x49 pixels which would be a 7x7 grid. There are actually larger sizes that would also work but they would have a lot of pieces so I'm ruling them out for now. If we can get one more piece I could probably confirm or deny the smaller grid but given there are 7-1 symbols under them I'm leaning towards a 7x7 grid. As more people get their ID's and post their pieces maybe we can figure out the symbols and the placements of the QR code pieces.

[Bizzaro]

I can't tell, but has the QR piece on our profiles changed?

Here's some scans of the back of my ID badge.
