Bitcoin Forum

I was reading some other threads and someone mentioned a way to make a couple bucks a day by playing minecraft....
That was all they said, and I e-mailed them asking, but no answer.
Can anyone tell me more about this?  :D
Thanks everyone!!

I dont think there is such a thing.

or I`d be playing minecraft just for that.

Perhaps through Youtube? A lot of minecrafters make some money via Youtube ..

I wonder where my minecraft login is... I might give that a try as well. I read about it several times now.

The only thing I know of that is still active is TheBitMines.com.

But they changed (for obvious reason) from paying you for mining/setting certain blocks to making the ingame economy bitcoin based.

Quote form the Site:

"> The Bit Mines is a Minecraft server that uses Bitcoin (BTC) for its economy. You can buy or sell items in-game, claim and sell plots of land, bet on PVP tournaments, bet on Spleef tournaments, and so much more - all with BTC."

Thanks for the links, you saved some time on my hands.  :)

your welcome, I doubt they will help you though :(

I found my minecraft login, downloaded the client and tried to connect to the bit mines, buuut I cant.


the "old" sever seem to be down and I cant find a new IP/address anywhere on the homepage.

I am online right now using thebitmines.com as server address. Did you make sure to run Minecraft Version 1.6.4??

Ah nope, was using the current version. Connected now, will take a look when I have time. Thanks for the help =)

There is no way of earning money playing Minecraft. It is possible that people there make stuff and then sell it. The same way the do with online RGP games. So you can do it with everything you want.

There was a server that would pay BTC for every mined block and for killing mobs.
So yes, read before posting stupid answers and misleading people.

I believe it was SgtSpike who was running a server where he was paying for certain tasks. This was however funded by mining equipment which is now past it's prime in term of earnings, and his server got popular, so it may not pay much at all now.

Hi! I found his server, its here http://minecraftcc.com/index.php?forum/ (http://minecraftcc.com/index.php?forum/) if any of you want the links.  It seems to still be active, people are still replying in the forum and everything, but I can't seem to get onto the server. GRRRR.  Not sure why....
However! it is there, it is active, as far as I can tell, and he still does pay out for every block mined.  It has dropped in price, dramatically, but I'm on a lot. XD so hopefully it will give me...something....XD
I hope this helps everyone!

It seems he just read the thread title before making his post lol. :D


Interesting. Thanks for the links. :)

Run version 1.7.2, works fine :)


Managed to connect, seems dead to me though. There is one place near spawn that buys wood, but I cant sell any for some reason.

Will try that minecraft cc later, I already waste too much time on minecraft without gain anything, and 0,02 btc/week can pay not pirate game in two weeks or so

Is your mumble server down? --> http://www.minecraftcc.com/index.php?wiki/mumble/

There is, I have done it before. It's not very profitable time-wise, but if you enjoy minecraft you can get paid for playing it.

I will post a link in a few hours (I am posting this from my ipad so I don't have the link here)

/edit it may have been minecraftcc btw

do a forum search for craft coin I think that's  what you are looking for

Are they still alive? There has been no activity in their thread for the last two weeks.

If anyone's interested, there's an active minecraft server which accepts Dogecoins: dogefest.coffeenet.org

Hmm, interesting idea. Though I mostly joined to find a Bitcoin community in Minecraft, now getting paid in Bitcoin for playing Minecraft sound more like the server admin is donating Bitcoin to its users for free...
It also says in the rules for http://minecraftcc.com that if you join just to get btc you are not welcome.

Did I get it right or did I miss anything?

Well in the world of Minecraft, you build something right.

What if you build a mountain, filled with BTC to be mined or well Satoshi, because BTC might be a bit expensive.  ;D

Then you have "destroyable" block, where people come do mining, like in a gold mine, and they search for these Satoshi's. They trade in these satoshi for real satoshi, and get it transferred to their BTC wallet.

There should be some way, in which you could show proof of work?

Can this be done?
