Challenge: Decrypt my code!

I made a Cicada 3301 like code/puzzle. It's pretty short though... It was longer originally but I can't post the whole thing here... Code: 644731706147357965585231626E4A736244513D For added difficulty, try to solve it only using self-programmed decrypting programs!

644731706147357965585231626E4A736244513D From hex to text: dG1paG5yeXR1bnJsbDQ= After Base64 decryption: tmihnrytunrll4 After splitting into two words of alternate letters: tinyurl mhrtnl (and a 4) Final answer: tinyurl.com/mhrtnl4 😎 This was pretty fun. Thanks @Supersebi3

I have no idea where to start. Is this an encrypted message?

Any idea what the next step might be? I mean, what is tmihnrytunrll4?

Since Cicada 3301 is mentioned, I'm expecting this decryption process to be reaaaaally long. Jafca got a link through that, so the link is supposed to link to somewhere which provides another cipher of some sort, but first, we need to get the correct address.

Someone please look into tinyurl URL format btw. This: dG1paG5yeXR1bnJsbDQ= looks very relevant as part of the URL. You can either take all odds, or all evens, or even primes.
