I made this into a separate blog entry today to not draw focus away from the server, while allowing me the opportunity to provide full disclosure about how any income generated from this blog is done.
Ads? Income?
In time if Google allows I will also activate Ad Sense on this blog, meanwhile the below are my active sources of income.
On the right I provide affiliate links to two paying websites, detailed below, that I have used to make some extra pocket money on the internet and I would appreciate it if you visit them via those links. You don't lose anything by visiting and/or subscribing via my affiliate links, all gains from affiliates are paid by the people who run these sites, however it is a simple no cost means of supporting me and my blog.
MCCC
Following on briefly from my previous blog entry, I earn a small amount of Bitcoin via the actual game play on the server of mining/gathering materials for my builds and then later the placing of blocks during build construction. Yep, save Creative maps all blocks on the server are hand crafted block-by-block creations. Current figures can be found by joining the server and using the command /btc crypto4coin (works for all other players, use /btc <playername> ) to see this amount, updated weekly since the server updated to version 1.7 around 15 January 2014.
Note: Program has ended early 2016.
Tremor Games
While the games are nice for a few minutes at a time; I find the offer walls to have a decent pay rate with current Tremor Rewards have Bitcoin available on exchange for earned Tremor points. Better than current Bitcoin faucets, though some users prefer to redeem points for Steam Game codes instead of Bitcoin.
What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is a crypto currency people use on the internet in exchange for goods and/or services; but unlike government issued currencies though it is a deflationary currency with a hard limited total amount that will ever exist. This limit will not be reached until all coins have been mined (21 million at around the year 2140), after which miners will be paid to act as bookkeepers that maintain the Bitcoin blockchain (like a banks ledger) to process Bitcoin transactions.
To learn more I suggest a visit to the Bitcoin wiki FAQ page.
Enough walls of text; get to Minecraft already.
My next blog entry, coming soon, will feature brief information about the Minecraft client I use, the 2 mods that are approved for player use on the server and why mini maps are useful. I will also finally get on with Minecraft itself and begin with some quick tips that I use whenever I make buildings and similar structures with both an interior and exterior.
Happy mining,
Crypto.
