Bitcoin and Minecraft Together At Last
What if you could really keep what you mined? What if you could take the rewards of all that hard labour with you? I set out to create a way to assign real worth, and external data to in-game objects. The first release is The Bit Mines. My vision isn’t just around a single server but as a way for players to move their “progress” from SMP server to server, or to entirely different games or markets.

I’ve found several issues related to the real-time cuboid reset plugin: Minecarts aren’t recreated Dispensers are missing their contents – no easy traps for me :( Items left on the ground cause problems resetting blocks (doors can be missing, etc) Blocks aren’t always faced correctly on restore (like dispensers – repeated restores seem to fix it) From what I’ve been researching these appear to be mostly related to issues in WorldEdit. :( So unless we want to track down and fix that code base we have to either...
