Hello Rat and BION!

In response to your questions Rat, I created this cipher on acaencodedecode.appspot.com using the Nicodemus or Gromark cipher! Or it was another cipher on the said website... The problem here is that I forgot to save the answer on my computer. -- Thus BION, I really appreciate your statement! As I'm pretty confident this is Gromark, while the other is Nicodemus(I'll get to the other later)

Regardless, the cipher in PLAINTEXT without quotation marks: "He who loves practice without theory is like the sailor who boards ship without a rudder and compass and never knows where he may cast httpsfilehostneteededcfd1fcb"(Plaintext for the filehost link lacks numbers, as those are obtained through something else.

I do remember one key MIGHT have been anger, and another key was 100% "Leonardo DaVinci"(Unsure which ciphers they were used for, and at the time I didn't understand the Gromark cipher and I didn't use a prime number while encrypting- So a bit confused how the algorithm still gave and answer)


My background/knowledge of ciphers = Nothing professional and mostly basic ciphers such as vigenere.

The source of this specific piece can be found here: "https://themolesdoorstep.000webhostapp.com"(The domain name has nothing to do with solving the ciphers within the website)
^The second cipher posted through Imgur contains the solution to the first cipher posted on pastebin, which was the one I requested help with originally Rat!

And this puzzle isn't a Hoax, but rather a random cipher? Unless it encrypted into random letters because I didn't use a prime numbers on the Gromark?(Again, I do not remember between the two textblocks which cipher is which, but I do remember those two are the ones I most likely used, and if not it was something else on the website).

It's 100% fine if the plaintext is lost forever, I can live without it!(With a friend online we've created a puzzle we're running on a discord server --I refrained from linking it, as I feel it's rude to advertise :')--, and I can still manage to continue working on the puzzle without this specific section, so I really don't mind if it's unsolved ^^

Forgive me if my text is jumbled/unproperly formed! I'm not *yet* the most profecient in English without the use of a text-editor.  Anyhow! Thanks for taking the time to look at this, I really appreciate it, and hope to stay and learn from this website!
