gollark: Not really. I mean, with a big passcode like that, it would be hard to bruteforce it, but you also probably couldn't remember that and would have to, say, write it down somewhere, and the rest of this "lock" thing could be insecure in some way.
gollark: You could get the same hard-to-brute-force-ness with, apparently, a 37 digit base 10 one.
gollark: It's basically just a convoluted way to express a 60-digit base-4 number.
gollark: The important thing is how much y increases each time x goes up by 1, which is the gradient.
gollark: I think so, yes. Generally I would take the equation (y = 3x + c) and substitute in one of the points' x and y values, but I guess for this that works.
