[InDev] [ANN] The revival of BitVegas - BTCVegas

[9inety7even]

I've toned down our initial estimate of 16 GB as I don't plan to launch with 150 players. However if 4 GB really isn't powerful enough I'll run it on a 8 GB with 50 players. That should be more than enough.

I'm telling your right now your going to get ddosed to hell so prepare for this. Also a bit off topic i know bitvegas had a copyright so you might want to not name it the same thing because you could get in legal trouble. Check if the copyright expired/

We're called BTCVegas, not BitVegas, however I will remove references to BitVegas in the OP to prevent legal trouble.

We will see what we can do about DDoSes.

Like I said in an earlier post, I can develop you some custom DDOS-prevention software. Let me know if you're interested and I can outline how it might potentially work. I think it would be really easy to integrate with your website and effective at preventing attacks.

Thanks for the offer but we'll see how it plays out. Right now we're still in the planning phase.

We've decided to scrap our design for the interior (too many colors + too childish) and focus on making our games big and elegant, kind of like the first BitVegas! We'll keep you updated with screenshots.

bitvegas still has a copyright so your still infringing on it. Which means murderscene can sue you for everything if he feels like it.

Explain what copyright we're infringing on. Last time I checked the idea of a Bitcoin casino in Minecraft is not copyrighted.

Also, if Murderscene had a copyright he damn well didn't defend it:

No mention of copyright, trademarks etc.

Server will be ran on a small VPS at launch as it seems we have not gathered enough interest for any sale of ranks yet, so we will need to rely on rake. It's likely rake will be higher than 1%, maybe 2% or so. At launch we predict interest will not be as great as BitVegas was at it's peak so we will predict a cap of about 15 players.

Q: "OMG YOU'RE GOING TO GET DDOSED"

A: If we get DDoSed we will deal with it as it comes. Withdrawals will continue as usual if a DDoS occurs.

That was accidental and nothing to do with the current staff team. However we are currently on whitelist so you can't access the server.

Anyway guys, we may lift the whitelist today or tomorrow so you can preview the BTCVegas beta design

[birkomester]

That sounds great. I hope this will live for long!

[DiamondCardz]

Thank you to all of those who have shown their support in the BTCVegas project so far.

We are currently running on the VPS of a member who would be staff but has instead decided to opt out and become a VIP. Note that no funds will be kept on that VPS so you do not need to trust him, his identity will be kept a secret unless he decides to reveal it.

As of now I have lifted the whitelist on the server, you can connect by connecting to the server IP "starbound.li". Your Minecraft must be updated to the latest version. We have tried to make the beta design as simplistic as possible, so you should not experience any lag! No game plugins are currently running so the only function of the server at the moment is to give you an idea of what BTCVegas will be like

Again, the IP is starbound.li. The official texture pack for BTCVegas (inspired by BitVegas, some of BitVegas' old textures currently still reside in the texture pack but it will soon be removed) will soon be posted below, so you can see what it will look like - connecting to BTCVegas without the texture pack will result in you seeing a lot of randomly placed blocks.

Hey guys, Untitled here. I'm one of the people working on the BTCVVegas project and I also happen to be making the texture pack.

I've got an alpha of the resource pack up here if you want to download it and look around our WIP Casino. I'm working off the original BitVegas resource pack here so if you dig through the files you might find some aspects of it still identical to the BitVegas pack. I'm working to make it more unique and it's going pretty quickly, but that's something to keep in mind.

You can download it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/sf7vkd819aeweo6/BTCV.zip

I look forward to seeing you all on the server!

Confirmed, this is the official BTCVegas texture pack and is required to make it look correct.

EDIT: Texture pack is now auto-install.

Can i play with cracked Minecraft?

Can i play with cracked Minecraft?

We are working on making the server cracked but due to security we can make no guarantees.

[Bittoclick]

I would like to get on as staff and help fund the project as an investor, I can also bring thousands of players to the casino through www.bittoclick.com

I'd also love to help build the casino. Please send me a PM if you're interested and I will give you more contact info.

Not interested?

Please add me on Skype, my username is HardMyDisk - I'll add you into the staff chat and we can discuss there.

Note to others, we are changing servers so the old IP will no longer be usable & the beta preview will be down for a day or so.

as someone who knows how to exploit a lot of bugs i strong urge you to not allow cracked minecraft

Right now we are considering it, if we think it poses a security risk we will not implement it - right now it seems unlikely, anyway.

[steveds]

here is what happens if you make it cracked
someone logins as you and can ban people
