We're considering it, but one of the maintainers of minetest plays on Satlantis and he doesn't feel its production ready for what we're trying to do
Forwarding the announcement post from our discord:
Satlantis Community,
First of all I want to thank you all for playing and supporting Satlantis for nearly a year now.
Mojang, the developers of Minecraft, have contacted us stating that we must remove the play-to-earn functionality from the server.
What does this mean for the future of Satlantis?
This sucks. There’s no getting around that. But,
SATLANTIS WILL LIVE ON
“The Game That Shares its Profits with Players” works. And it works well. All of the time, money, and energy that we put into this game together will not be forsaken by a few dinosaurs at some conglomerate. We will be porting the Satlantis community to a platform that encourages innovation, instead of stifling it. We are currently exploring platform options and I will keep you all updated in regards to that.
What does this mean for you, the player?
We will continue to do right by the players that make this all possible. All of your sats in-game will be honored. Please submit your withdrawals and I will work through the weekend to ensure they are processed. All of your ASICs will be ported to the new platform, as well the prize pool, your premium battlepass status and all other progress and data that is possible to transfer.
The minecraft server itself will continue running(without any pay-to-earn functionality) for the foreseeable future. This is to ensure the transition to our next game platform is as smooth as possible and allow you all to continue enjoying the great world you’ve built.
Stay tuned to our discord for further updates.
Yes, definitely!
I'd say the majority of our players had never sent a lightning transaction before playing. And I know many who had zero bitcoin experience at all before joining the server.
And now they teach others how to use lightning :)
The revenue from our advertisers seeds the prize pool, sort of like the block subsidy.
Then we split all the revenue the game generates from purchases like the battlepass and include that in the prize pool as well
Yup!
The commodity trader is a new way to earn emeralds and will rotate to trade for different items over time
Java edition.
You can get it here: https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/store/minecraft-java-bedrock-edition-pc
Java edition only at the moment. Though some users have found work arounds to play the java version on mobile devices. If the tablet is android based it is possible to play
Yes, Java edition only at the moment. But some players have found ways to boot up the Java on mobile
Hey, there is no app associated with Satlantis. It's just like any other Minecraft server that you can connect to with an IP address. Curious to hear where you are reading negative reviews.
We've processed millions of sats worth of withdraws. They do go through a verification process for security purposes to ensure their legitimacy. A game with as much depth as minecraft comes with some potential exploits that we have to keep an eye on. We also host bug bounties for such things.
You can spend all day explaining bitcoin to children and people in general, but for the most part the majority of them will simply not take an interest. They need a compelling reason to use it over the default options they have today.
Which is why I created Satlantis (shameless plug incoming)
Satlantis is the best bitcoin video game to date; because it utilizes bitcoin not just for the sake of bitcoin, but because it opens up whole new ways to play. Like the fact that all the revenue that the game generates can now be shared with users via the LN.
Theres a lot more to it, but this one simple feature of sharing profits with players, made possible with bitcoin, is a powerful concept that will continue to onboard nocoiners who would have never stacked sats otherwise
