1160, 123, 51, 149, 186, 1021, 101, 67, 1184, 1157.
These are the numbers Mindrod found.

and: 3/4 of all messages encoded this way will have numbers that have one where it's important
What I make out of that: the place where the 1 stands in the number is of importance, he actually says that two times. So I first thought that it might be a sort of binary code (he used that in the start of the puzzle already). But then there's the 3/4 remark which I understand as that there are 1/4 messages whose numbers don't carry 1's. This implies that it is not binary or whatever base.
The big question remains, why is the place important?
