Is it a vault? 

Correct! Great job! Please PM me your address and I will send your winnings.

I will start another contest shortly.

Great work Paul! This will be a fun month!

The second contest will involve Bitcointalk, Twitter, Facebook and Reddit. I have loaded a CGB wallet with 100 CGB. The balance can be checked and confirmed according to the address 5hDq6CmKzE6vGVwUyEGvxQvczMxqTPre6k. The private key associated with this address consists of 52 characters. I have broken this private key up into 8 sections; 4 consisting of 6 characters and 4 consisting of 7 characters (4*6) + (4*7) = 52 characters total. I will be posting these 8 segments of the private key via the afore mentioned social media outlets (2 segments per outlet). These 8 segments will need to be found and then assembled in the correct order. The first one to do this and redeem the funds wins. Make sure you follow this thread, subscribe to the CGB Reddit, follow the BULL on Twitter and like us on Facebook so you can race the others in the community to retrieve and assemble this private key first!

To kick things off, here is 1 of the 8 segments to the private key: RaZ4bnj

Good luck!

A fragmented private key, cool! I think someone might make a program to find the right order It would be earned!

Did you know CGB private keys begin with 'M'?

Congrats man well done!

Just in case you wondered, there were 5040 possible combinations.  

I patched the wallet to find the right one.

I patched the wallet to find the right one.

I wrote a Java key assembler - but my wallet PC let me down - took a fair few minutes to import the assembled private key by which time the coins had already gone 

[thokon00]

yes, it took quiet a while to import the new private key. Maybe CGB should switch to leveldb? 

I created a new rpc-command which assembled the key from the fragments, inserted the new key into the wallet and finally created a new transaction that transferred 100CGB (subracted network fees) to a new of-wallet address.

All in all, it was great fun!!

Thank to the CGB team for that great idea and the bounty

Haha cool! Great work! I suspected someone would be able to zip it together with some code! Awesome!

We hope to be able to attract the talent required to put CGB back on the cutting edge client-wise. I feel that our best shot at doing so is simply to bring CGB to the front of the world stage as we develop the next movement to really push all cryptos, not only CGB, into real world use, through our ongoing development with the CryptoTown project. We have a lot of momentum built, it will be leveraged to this effect. Once the real community excitement arrives, we should be able to better attract such talent.
