Title: [INTEREST-CHECK] A Minecraft server where you get BTC for killing mobs / mining
Post by: Boelens on August 11, 2013, 06:17:50 PM
Just curious if there's interest for it, I understand this has already been partially done, but the point on this would be, there is NO entry fee and you'd get satoshi's based on mobs killed, and ore mined, coal,redstone,gold,iron,diamond, etc. Would this be a good idea? Please vote here for the global poll : http://strawpoll.me/325356

Or vote in the forum poll if you don't trust third party links.

I'd be interesting. But from where would the bitcoin come from ?
In-Game Advertising ?

First part would be from own-funding, just like I did with my faucet. Afterwards hopefully I can get some donations / ad revenue, yes.

Seems like the poll got a very positive result so far! Guess I might just do this.

there is Craftcoin, which is designed to be a Minecraft currency. maybe check it?

I've heard of that, but I prefer to just use BTC for simplicity.

I agree with Boelens, using Bitcoin may be more "user-friendly" for people who don't want to download another altcoin wallet (+ miner (+ whatever it can be)).
And if this is designed to be used on only one server, there's no need to do with something else. :) (of course that's only my opinion.)

Are you going to make a website about your project Boelens ?

Would be very interested in this! Let me know if you need a hand with anything, like building the spawn or something.

Maybe, if I feel it is neccesary. It might be useful for certain things, and I have some web hosting anyways.

I actually am not that good at building, so I'll definately contact you if I need help with the spawn ;)

Meh, I'm not the best of builders but I'll help to the best of my ability. :P

Yes, but make it so you get a small amount of satoshi for every block, not just ores. Also, can you PLEASE release the plugin you use to the public? Even if it is closed source, I would love to use it. Let me know if you need a tester / Admin! I go on minecraft a lot.  Plus, I am good with YMLs and I run my own server.

I am not developing the plugin myself, but I do have the intention of sharing it.
