The Vault
Michael_scott, Wed May 16 2012, 08:21PMThe Vault will consist of 26 letters A-Z and 10 numbers 0-9 there will be a random code with a random amount of figures depending on how many partners we get. If you are first to crack open the vault you will receive a hefty prize of diamonds gold iron lapis and more. Work together or on your own its your choice...
Our plan is to hide parts of the code amidst the best community and open builds on the map. It could be at a spawn tower or it could be somewhere completely different . When you find these you can either keep them to yourself in an attempt to steal all the prize or work together to scavenge the map for clues...
What we need... People to contribute. it doesnt matter if its letting us put a single sign somewhere in your awesome build or giving us goodies for the prize fund any help is appreciated.
If there is intrest this project WILL go ahead but not for a while as we need to prepare....
My hope is that this will be a fun event and that it will encourage players to view all the communities builds. I hope you will participate..

Disclaimer
Although the signs will be hidden you will NEVER need to place or break ANY blocks to see them. They will also NEVER be behind locked doors so you should NEVER bypass a deadbolt

Love the idea! Should spread the signs across worlds when they get implemented

Thanks ninja and aco, i was planning on asking him Maz, and that would be great discharge, as you saw dastardly i dont know much about redstone and could really use a hand building the lock. thanks all

Well my exams finish mid next week so hopefully i can start it then. Depending on how many people we have building the vault and placing signs it could take anywhere from 2 weeks to a month.

unless all signs must be in / on buildings on the surface.

He might walk in take a dump on the loo and leave.

Im glad to say that thanks to Discharge the vault is going to be even harder to crack.
Discharge and i have been talking and can confirm that the vault will have 31 characters to choose from and - heres the great part- they will all be case sensitive!
If you think that you can cheat the vault, ie use an xray to see the redstone workings, then your in for a nasty surprise. He has designed the redstone in the same way that your password is hidden on the internet (i have no idea how) so there can be no peeking!
Thanks to everyone who has offered their help.

Why not have it that when you find teh first sign you have 2 options. One leads to the right letter and one leads to an error.
Ask hard wuestions related to MC. The answer would be a clue to the next location?

Re: The Vault
Discharge, Wed May 23 2012, 10:22PM
I am still testing the circuits behind the lock. It's all looking good so far. If all goes to plan, it will store the correct code as a 64 bit binary number.
This would give 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 possible codes.
At a rate of 1 code attempt per minute, it would take over 35 trillion years to try them all.
2,550 times the age of the universe.
And the lock will use some rudimentary cryptographic hashing to prevent any attempts to deduce the code from the circuitry.
And just in case you are thinking of looking online for the schematics and a way to hack it, don't bother. I looked already and nobody has ever made a lock like this in minecraft before.
'tis secure alright!
(The concept of overkill means nothing to me)

Ok then =D Assuming it's ok with Michael, I'll see if I can't find something to try all those combinations in order, if that's even possible... Of course, knowing the peoples of the CFUK community, the correct code will probably be put somewhere WAY down the line so it would be a very long time before I found it. Yay family <3
