are my eyes deceiving me or do you play cs 1.6 bluedragon? I was just looking at the blakecoin website
Thanks to the work by Ignatius, Blakecoin does have a custom CS 1.6 server online where you can play and use BLC within the game and I think this is absolutely awesome

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/blakecoin-based-counter-strike-16-server-594741I have played many games most the common FPS games CS&CSS/VC&VC2/OFP&ARMA/BF2&BF2142&BF3 and also a few MMOs GUNZ/WolfTeam/3Kingdoms/Legend Of The Three Kindoms/DriftCity/PathOfExile also many RPG games like Fallout1&2/Diablo1&2/Baldur's Gate/Sacred1&2 and the list goes on and on but listed most of my main favorites over the years
I enjoy playing in virtual worlds but I was not able to find the combination of feature that I thought could be done with a free to play model that's why I got into indie game development
I put a small team together back in mid 2011 to built a platform for MMO games that could support the size of world and features we thought were great, it has been quite hard and most of us also work but we have finished the main framework for the server side and tested it.
work is now being done on the first two games one is a FPS and other is RPG all 40K users per zone and each game title can have many zones that make the whole world with additional zones being added continuously.
When working on the financial system for the prototypes I thought it would be a great idea to use a blockchain for the storage rather than a database and you could mine the coins and play at same time this lead to the work on Blakecoin as long I did any extra work needed for it
Blakecoin was born about 4 months later "Its Alive Muhahaha" after quite a bit of benchmark and research on many algorithms(all the sha-3 candidates and a few others) and testing of the idea of mining and playing an at same time, Blake-256 was the best as it uses very few resources and was really fast
The work on the first game (FPS) is still ongoing Blakecoin has taken some of my time away but overall very happy and excited with the progress we are quite close to releasing information with videos of the game play, images and fly-through trailers before the crowd funding for the closed/open beta's
The game does have special premium items and a micro-transaction system based in Blakecoin
I need to dig my steam account out and get into the CS 1.6 server and get me some BLC "Boom HeadShot Muhaha" just not had the time yet been pretty busy with work and the merge mine stuff plus still trying to fit time in on game dev and schedules can clash with my team mates on that
really could not think of anything I would prefer to be doing than building technology systems and games it is a passion or love I really enjoy it *apart from the bugs or expensive licence fees (some game dev stuff is expensive)
Now with the merge mining it allows me to work with more developers and bring even better value to everyone's mining hardware which I think is cool
The mining pools for the MMO games will be merge mine you can be 100% sure of that
- Why pay to play a game when you can play them for free
- Why mine or play a game when you can do them both
- Why mine one coin when you can mine them all
- Why fight between each other when you can work together and have some fun in the process
- Why use a slow inefficient algorithm when you can use a fast efficient one
