Announcing MineCoin!

Hi folks,

I'd like to introduce a project that we've been working on called MineCoin (https://minecoin.co).

MineCoin is a Minecraft-based tournament game for mining gold ore blocks that are redeemable for Bitcoins (BitOre blocks). These tournaments are pay-to-play (in BTC) with the pooled entry fees making up the total number and value of BitOre in the game. We've retextured gold ore to look more... Bitcoiny.

Update #1: The Beta test is over, you can see the results on the leaderboard (https://minecoin.co/games/leaderboard)

Update #2: You can now access the game server in-between scheduled games to mine BitOre for play in-game currency. The server address is: server.minecoin.co:25580

Update #3: We have scheduled our first tournament match for the 6th of July, 7.30 pm (PDT). The entry fee is 10 mBTC. Entry fees are refundable up until the 24 hours before the game starts. Also allow for 12 hours after paying the entry fee for your balance to be updated and your position in the queue to be confirmed. We will make this process automated and immediate in the very near future.

We are really after your feedback, bug reports and suggestions, so feel free to drop them in the comments below.
