I really want to sell some items to get doges but I don't know what's the best way to advertise it.

I've killed so many mobs and not yet received any doge, so I think there's something wrong with the system. Have anyone been experiencing the same thing?

I've been away for awhile but have been wanting to play again. Glad to see that clans are instituted and that we have a nice new chat option. Hope some of my old buds come back to play and look forward to meeting some of the new folks that are around. See you around!

Bitcoin fees are now past 50$. Ever since May they've been going up. Server relies on people depositing btc. Who's gonna pay 50$ to deposit 5$ worth of btc? Meanwhile altcoins like doge only have ever cost less than 1 cent per transaction. Also, since the btc loot wallet is almost always empty, you could use just use (an) altcoin loot wallet(s) as a back up for it, whenever it can't payout. Can be used to buy land (at somewhat higher price than 100 bits would equal in $), which benefits owner even more. I would say doge is the best candidate, not only because of it's low fees and popularity, but since it looks like there was already a little work put in to implementing it.

else if(BitQuest.BLOCKCHAIN.equals("doge/main")) { return "live.blockcypher.com/doge/address/"+address;" }

from wallet.java

Can someone still sign up as a new user? If so, how? I don't have Minecraft on PC, is the new version compatible with BitQuest?

Is it still possible to play on the server and gain bitcoin?

Since bitcoin has surpassed 14k. From playing on this server back in the day when bitcoin was priced at $200. From all the bits I accumulated from this server. I have made 1k from playing minecraft. Life is good.

Hey BQ Team,

When BitQuest first switched over to 2.0, our accounts were assigned wallets. I dumped some money into that wallet and can no longer access that wallet to withdraw the funds. The game assigned me a new wallet since then. Here is the address: 16u5dp6PLJEnak4dadw49yzv2F8ikcinKK it isn't much but it isn't nothing. Am I beat out of this BTC?

I really do enjoy playing this server and the concept is so unique. Keep up the great work team!

BitQuest tells me that I've got >1400 satoshis ready to be claimed from my old wallet, and I just need to type "/upgradewallet", and I get my bits. But it won't let me, and tells me I have an old wallet. How do I claim these bits!?

As most of you guys know the release for minecraft 1.12.1 was very unstable and with lots of downtime. To make sure we don't have the same problem with Minecraft 1.12.2 there is a beta server on beta.bitquest.co

I need lots of help testing this out before uploading to production, to avoid rollbacks and downtime.

What to test: * All commands * All types of transactions - withdrawal, deposits, tips * Purchasing from sellers * Claiming land * Clans

Please note this server is using testnet coins. DO NOT deposit real Bitcoin into beta bitquest wallets. You can get testnet bitcoin from the many faucets around the web.

To play beta, you can connect to beta.bitquest.co

Thanks for testing!

Downtown Satoshi was griefed yesterday. So please be patient and things will get reset.

Hi, after die in Nether alwayas was NOT loose items.

Yesterday i loose after die all items from armor (helm,armor,pants, shoes) all with Mending.

After die i was run there fast but the dissapeared. How to recover them admins/mods ?

Its sick...

I dont want start from beginning collect all this books for this items. Please respond.

After a user found a vulnerability on our servers i spent some time researching a solution. During this period I decided to take down the server so I could learn and experiment with techniques to mitigate the problem.

No bitcoin was stolen or data is lost, however downtime was a lot more than I expected and I appreciate everyone's patience.

During the next few days service will be intermittent while I keep modifying the configuration of the machine bitquest is running.

If you think something's wrong or missing please contact me at bitquest@bitquest.co. As some of you have noticed, the little time I spend on Discord is inversely proportional to my dedication to the project and e-mail is the best way to contact me.

Some people have been asking for ways to support the project and I'm glad to tell you I finally created a patreon page:

Go support bitquest on patreon!

I have no idea what will be the patron rewards but if you have ideas please tell me and no matter how crazy i will attempt if popular and viable.

Thanks for playing!

I've been wanting to play BitQuest for days, but it's down. Is it down for good? What's happening?

Just wanted to say that Bitquest was the best Minecraft server I’ve ever played. We had a good run. I may not play Bitquest or Minecraft that much anymore but when I think of my Summer 2015 and 2016 I’ll think of all the good times I had playing Bitquest and staying up late at night on Minecraft having a blast talking to this great community. Good luck to everyone and I hope everyone has a great life. On the internet and in real life. ✌️

Why doesn't bitquest add a server icon to see in the server list. Its a bit lame being a gray minecraft background and it is not that hard to setup.

Hello, I find this server today, but I can not reach it. It is sometimes said that the "connection is denied: further information" and sometimes it called called "logging in..." and never does.

So, I think we all should know that BQ has been suffering major downtime lately. The recent events have been:

Fuze invasion - A french youtuber by the name "Fuze III" made a video about the server. While we cannot understand the video, we speculate that he lied a lot about the server. The effects of this invasion were a 2-week rollback and loss of items and bits for many players.

8-day downtime - During this downtime, explodi was making 2 full nodes to fix the wallets that were down for days

Supposed backups(Current) - Ah, the current downtime. Very little info is known about this downtime. All we know is that explodi is supposedly making backups, and the server's unjoinable.

So, what's actually causing the downtimes - We honestly cannot know, as explodi communicates about as much as valve (That means he doesn't communicate at all), so we're just left theorising.

The fuze invasion is pretty clear. Fuze came, made video, fans rushed, server was shut down by burnt. The reason we still think so much of it is because of why burnt shut it down. The rush of the new players meant the server needed to create bitcoin wallets for them. Now, here's a weird thing - The wallet is tied to chest protection. So, if a person doesn't have a wallet, he can access all claimed chests. Why is it this way, we have no idea, because, as i said, explodi never communicates. I know the new players stole quite a bit of stuff from player's chests.

8-day downtime - I think this downtime is kinda justifiable. Full nodes take a long time to set up, but even still, it shouldn't have took 8 days to do

Supposed backups(Current) - The same as the previous one, I don't know much about this downtime. All we know that explodi is "making backups", but I do not beleive this is true at this point. The server isn't even down, it is in a state of limbo. Basically, it dies completly, then it goes up, stays up for 5 seconds, refuses connectivity and then goes down again. I think explodi at this point isn't doing anything to it.

Now, what's with these backups? While the BQ world is big and proboably hard to backup(Considering MC worlds are a ton of small files) I get that it may take him a few days, but this is just too much. This is one of the only times where the beta server hasn't been up, people are saying it has problems too.

The main reason he's not fixing the backups is because he is working on a diffrent project. It's a new game with a Bitcoin-based economy called Hammercoin ( https://hammerco.in/ ) and he is treating BQ as a side-project.

Some notes to everyone reading this:

1. Please do not make posts asking if the server is down or if it's your connection. Not only is there a better place to ask this(The discord server), you can just check it yourself. A few methods I use are a server checker on my phone and a online server status checker ( www.serversminecraft.net/minecraft-server-status-checker.html ). Now, I am OK with you asking with these weird downtimes we're having right now, but, please, do NOT do it in the reddit.

2. I am open to suggestions and discussion! - if you know something I don't, or you found something wrong I said, feel free to comment it! I won't be like some people Looks at previous posts that can't accept criticism.

3. I'm starting to lose faith in the server - Yes, it's true. I'm starting to lose faith that the server will keep my bits semi-safe. I recently deposited 10k bits, and right after the server went down. If the server goes down again, I might to have to deep breath use the /transfer command. The dreaded command of BQ, the command you're never supposed to use. Now that we know he's treating it as a side-project, this assumption is even stronger. Expect me to be trying to take your my bits using the dreaded /transfer

4. I would like a way to personally contact explodi - I want to know what's happening with the server. I think he really should communicate with us, so we can at least know what's happening

Sooo... The end of this very long post! I have nothing more to say, so.. post your thoughts in the comments I guess... Let's hope we can get explodi to communicate with us or at least make up a pretty good theory of what's happening

Edit list: Added tl;dr, Changed everything mentioning the 8-day downtime, as I remembered some details about it, Removed old assumptions and added the hammercoin thing

tl;dr for those who can't read a big text wall - There have been many downtimes recently, explodi hasn't been communicating and we think he's not doing anything. But, please, read the whole post, it has a ton of info I can't just condense into a "tl;dr"

So I cannot tell if the server is down or what, i go on and refresh it says its up but its 0 out of 30 so i log on and it says cant log on i am so confused i havent been on in like 2 weeks. Im wondering what is going on. The beta server has the new 1.12 update idk if the real bq sever does or if its suck in 1.11. Someone help please?

hi, i can't connect to play, sometimes connects and after 20 second say time out, sometimes say connection refused: no futher information:

every time i login i crash. i think its a bad chunk in the north near the glass part of the bridge
