vCrypt - The greatest dupe of them all

Time of Discovery: 04:00-05:00, 2018-10-01
Player: VADemon
Server: "2b2t replica"

2018-10-01: Showed my 2 IRL friends this exploit on my test server dubbed "2b2t-replica". We've had a lot of fun messing around with nearly everything. Entities can also be duped and that opens a door to many new possibilities and designs for how to improve the speed of duping. I think duping Minecarts with items and driving them from one chunk to another is the way to go.

2018-10-04: Completed my second test on 2b2t with my alt account to confirm the dupe is indeed working. Shared the secret with hanscor, jordanl666 and WarLordN1k (/that I can supply them with items now/) who were in the discord voice chat at the time and working on the trench. Now I had to reveal that I've found a working dupe. I told them it's a "whole chunk dupe" and all agreed on how major it is. (Their first guesses went with entity dupes, since the donkey dupe was patched a few weeks ago)
Jordan tried to trade it in PMs but I decided to not share it with anybody and told them I will dupe the items for them instead, free of charge and whereever they want.
2018-10-05 00:00: Discord DM Group chat created, posted a screenshot of the duped "Crystals from VA with ❤" shulker.
> "[00:01] VADemon: Okay so I created this DM group to be sincere and transparent with all of you about this"

2018-10-05: Created the first stash at -5k in the evening, with items needed for the trench
2018-10-05: jared2013 received the coordinates - he was supposed to be teleported to a portal _nearby_ but he spawned right above the dupe stash. He only needed items for the Incursion work. He didn't say anything, either he is no longer surprised about dupes or has completely stopped caring a long time ago. I left a cactus there with a sign saying: "The  Cactus  Dupe"

2018-10-07: Left a chest with just a few shulkers for Elusive_Ice to start with.

2018-10-07: WarLordN1k had to destroy the stash because he found a group of 3 newfags settling down nearby. ThebesAndSound was evidently surprised and saddened by this move, after all a lot of items were destroyed. Certainly he doesn't know of any working dupe.

2018-10-07 23:28: WarLordN1k showed a new location for the stash - 3 old glitched terrain chunks in the middle of an ocean.

2018-10-08: Spent 4-6 hours after noon duping items there. Started with 1-4 shulkers of each item and ended up with up to 3 double chests full of shulkers per item; total ~80 double chests. It's not too fast if you're moving items between chunks on your own... But a railway setup might take just as much time for a little spawn stash. Although... "little" is a little subjective.

2018-10-08: Elusive_Ice received his mini-kit:
[04:19:25] Elusive_Ice whispers: just to state, if u ever decide to disclose it to me, i swear on my mothers life i would never leak it.
[04:19:31] Elusive_Ice whispers: and i would respect you indefinitely
[04:19:58] to Elusive_Ice: noted.

2018-10-11: I haven't been online in the past 2 days, Elusive_Ice started bugging me again by messaging me. That's not how it works with me.

2018-10-12:
[19:35:15] Elusive_Ice whispers: can u tell e the dupe method
[19:35:32] Elusive_Ice whispers: before i slit my veins
I checked the RusherBot logs and the last time he was seen online was 2018-10-13... it's been one week, 2018-10-19. We may never find out.

2018-10-16: Since the "Incursion" split, ThebesAndSound decided to continue working under "Public Works" banner to continue the Trench. Yet the new Incursion discord server by jared2013 "The Seventh Incursion Reloaded" united many more players than before and is currently the main force (as for the trench: including me, jordan666, hanscor). I said in Thebes' PW discord I would deliver kits and supplies in the morning if I get sober again (inb4: I didn't & the server was down too)
2018-10-18: Delivered kits for Thebes, and gave people working with jared2013 on lava-filling at spawn a few stucked lava shulkers and echests.
It's now clear most people wouldn't do shit if not led by the major figure that is jared2013. And they actually don't when he's not online. Zero self-coordination.
2018-10-19: jordanl666 managed to get a set of unbreakable armour and asked me in private to dupe it. Sure, just not right now. The trench needs to be finished!
2018-10-28: Not much happened. In the Build and Restore Foundation Wireboi cried out that he has long run out of totems and begged for some since he is actually losing equipment due to deaths. I offered him some, no response. This shows that first of all, not all people had enough time with the donkey dupe and secondly, some are running out of essential items already. I still believe we're months away from 1.13 although Mojang finally released 1.13.2 with the worst of the bugs fixed.
