Title: Pay to Play Minecraft Server for Bitcoin Users Post by: Ryland R. Taylor-Almanza on June 27, 2011, 09:12:15 PM offtopic: what about a minecraft server for bitcoin users? I believe this was discussed in another thread, but I'm not sure if it ever got anywhere. I do have an extra 4GB Ram VPS I could use if your interested, but I'd want to at least make some of my money back. Maybe users would pay a small bitcoin fee to get whitelisted? It would be like a pay2play bitcoin server.We would probably need about 50$ per month, I can get 10 of it (in bitcoins).

Title: Re: Pay to Play Minecraft Server for Bitcoin Users Post by: aceman1011 on June 28, 2011, 12:44:58 AM I'll make one for bitcoin users for free. The best i7 and 6GB of RAM.

Taylor-Almanza on June 28, 2011, 12:56:27 AM I'm not a very active Minecraft user so I might be missing something, but why charge for something that is (I presume) universally free? The idea is that only real bitcoin users will be able to join, because they'll have to pay with bitcoins to get in. I already have a minecraft server that I run for free, but the one proposed in this thread would be for bitcoiners only. Also, it'll help pay for the server.Title: Re: Pay to Play Minecraft Server for Bitcoin Users Post by: fabianhjr on June 28, 2011, 02:04:35 AM I am already hosting in my home PC, not on 100% of the time, friends only.
I have been planning on buying some real hosting should I be able to cover the costs. I would must likely bootstrap the iConomy plugin to manage Bitcoin donations and give some anti-grifing and access to some plugins for those who pay the fees. I am configuring it so that you can get anything with time and effort, though Bitcoin donations to keep the server up are a short-cut.

I dunno if I like paying twice to play Minecraft, but putting some of my bitcoins in to buy some lapis would be pretty sweet....maybe there could even be an exchange like Virwox has on Second Life? maybe.... Title: Re: Pay to Play Minecraft Server for Bitcoin Users Post by: pharno on June 28, 2011, 11:54:43 AM I think we should integrate Bitcoins, yes. But you shoudnt be able to withdraw money. Because If you can, you can just get a bitcoin, join the server, mine like an Idiot, get a few bitcoins, and withdraw them, leaving the server in a minus.
Title: Re: Pay to Play Minecraft Server for Bitcoin Users Post by: pharno on June 28, 2011, 07:40:34 PM changed my mind a bit:
I can definitivly host the server, I just would like some donations, especially when resources on my server get short Title: Re: Pay to Play Minecraft Server for Bitcoin Users Post by: fabianhjr on June 28, 2011, 08:52:50 PM As I said, you are able to donate and get the iConomy(bitcredits, or whatever they end up being called) credit and use it at "unlimted" stock shops set up by me, the admin. You will still be able to do everything mining. So, who is up?

Title: Re: Pay to Play Minecraft Server for Bitcoin Users Post by: pharno on June 29, 2011, 02:39:07 PM all right, I set it up, its up and running: 78.47.204.106. there are NO plugins atm, I dont know what to install besides anti griefing tools, and iConomy.
Title: Re: Pay to Play Minecraft Server for Bitcoin Users Post by: pharno on June 29, 2011, 03:41:25 PM I've installed a few plugins: iConomy,Jobs,Permissions
At the moment it is free, you just need a few postings in this forum here. Title: Re: Pay to Play Minecraft Server for Bitcoin Users Post by: fabianhjr on June 29, 2011, 10:58:06 PM So no one is on the server?
Title: Re: Pay to Play Minecraft Server for Bitcoin Users Post by: flailing Junk on June 30, 2011, 04:47:48 AM I made a tent to the east. At night you may see a signal flare in the general location. Also:

You should make other topic about your server in the forum, so more people will play. Title: Re: Pay to Play Minecraft Server for Bitcoin Users Post by: fabianhjr on July 02, 2011, 02:04:11 AM I offer stacks of 64 smooth stone for 0.02 BTC. PM me for details.
Also, I suggest LMC is installed and configured. Title: Re: Pay to Play Minecraft Server for Bitcoin Users Post by: themike5000 on July 19, 2011, 07:55:13 PM Any update on this? Working well?
