This doesn't seem like a bad idea at all. How does the queue system work?
For both free and competition games you need to register with an email address and verify your Minecraft username (we don't ask for your password to do this). After that you're free to join the queue of any game in the Games tab (https://minecoin.co/games/) -- need to be logged into to see this at the moment, will change this soon.
You'll be placed into the queue and if you're part of the first 25 to join the game, but your position will only be confirmed after you pay the entry fee in advance (refundable if anything goes wrong or you pull out minus the tx fees). You'll be whitelisted to the server once the game opens. If you're #26+ you'll have a spot reserved in case someone pulls out.
We have emails that we send to you at each step of the process.

Not that we're aware of... then again that's what the beta test is for, we appreciate any efforts by white hats out there.
We have also installed a number of anti-cheating and anti-xray plugins designed to locate certain types of block in the map... plus we track and observe user behaviour.
If you have Minecraft, the beta test has just started so feel free to join now as there are still some slots open.

Could someone analyse the map data that is downloaded to the client and automatically determine where the BitOre is located?

Quick update:
There are 8 hours until the Beta test game starts and there 17 spots left open to join. In the game there are 87 blocks of BitOre buried within an area 36 x 36 (from the surface down to the bedrock). Each BitOre block is worth 1 mBTC each.
It's free to join, please contact us if you have any troubles registering or logging in.

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.
