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

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??
