Server down?

I can't seem to connect.

Firewall, duh, lol.

thanks, i will try it this week !!

nice explain
love 1.6

You would need to own or purchase a game named Counter-Strike version 1.6. It is a very old game and many people already own it so the server is intended mostly for advertising the existence of BLC. Players see the server in a list with other servers and may choose to join it, once they do they are bombarded with Blakecoin related information and given 1 free Blakecoin.

The game has a built in text chat system. Pressing Y lets you type a text message, hitting enter sends it. Pressing U lets you send a text based message to only the other members of your team, there are 2 teams. The only "command" one would need right away is to say "/guns" either to everyone (with Y) or to their team (with U). This opens a menu which allows you to get guns and equipment. It is helpful to bind this to a key, so every time you want to buy guns you don't have to hit Y then type /guns then hit enter. You can bind a key by hitting the ~ key, this opens up the console. In the console type:

Now every time you press B the gun menu opens. You can replace b with any other key.

A friend is making a video explaining all of this, hopefully he does a better job than I do.

The Blakecoin related stuff has a help page, you can pop it up by saying "blc_help". Either hit Y, type blc_help, hit enter, or put blc_help into the console.
It's all fairly basic. If you wanted to deposit coins you would issue the blc_deposit command. If you enter that command in console it will return a unique BLC deposit address, valid for one use. If you send coins (whole amounts only) to that address, they are added to your wallet in game. In order to withdraw coins you need to first use the blc_address command. By entering blc_address into console it will set your withdrawal address to . Once you have set a withdrawal address you can request a withdrawal. This is done with the blc_withdraw command. By entering blc_withdraw <#amount> into console, it will initiate a withdrawal request. Sending <#amount> to .

That's really all there is to it. I wouldn't necessarily recommend buying the game, as it is very old. At some point Steam will run a sale and a newer version of Counter-Strike will be available for as little as $5, I may very well buy that deal and set this whole thing up on the newer version of the game, with its improved graphics. (Though I will likely be keeping this 1.6 version server around, as it's my favorite version of the game)

Special controllers are not needed, most people play with their keyboard and a mouse. The WASD keys control forward, strafe left,back, strafe right movement of your character in the game. Your aim is controlled by your mouse, and left clicking fires your weapon. Many (all?) first person shooter style games use this control scheme.

Unrelated-related note: The bots are set at a difficulty of 50 on a 1-100 scale, 100 being the hardest. For someone new to the game this could be painful, for someone who has played CS for a while this is very easy. When admins have noticed players struggling they have lowered the difficulty of the bots. Ideally, 8 real human players or more are in the server which automatically causes all bots to leave.

EDIT: Added new commands:
blc_listwit -- Lists your withdrawal history
blc_listdep -- Lists your deposit history

forgive me , i want to try to game , but i am totally clueless as to how you play

do i download the game from somewhere or do i have to buy it ?

also do i need any special controls,  i know a lot of people into bitcoin and coins are into gaming,  not me.

but it sounds really cool and I would like to test it out ,

also thanks for the make file i merged your gitpull into photon source,   still a mystery why i could not get that to show up glad it's corrected now....

Buy Counter-Strike v1.6 Here, or preferably from a forum user with coins!

The traditional CS currency system has been replaced. When a new user enters the server they are given 1 BLC to get started. The server supports the depositing and withdrawal of Blakecoins. Blakecoins deposited are placed into the players wallet in the game. Players may set a BLC withdrawal address in game, and request withdrawals to that address. There are currently bots running around with fat wallets and low difficulty settings. The bots leave the server when enough players have joined (set to 8 currently). When only 2 players remain alive on oppossing teams dead players are presented with a menu which allows them to bet BLC on which player will win the round. There is also a bounty system, where players can place a BLC bounty on another players head. The person who kills the target first will receive the bounty.

Currently bonuses are given out to players who complete game objectives, such as:
1 BLC bonus for planting the bomb
1 BLC bonus for the bomb exploding
2 BLC bonus for defusing the bomb

A variety of other bonuses are enabled from time to time, such as a bonus for the first,second, and third killer in the round. Round Win bonuses, etc...

When you kill a player you receive 1 BLC, the victim LOSES 1 BLC.
When you kill a player with a headshot you receive 2 BLC, the victim LOSES 2 BLC.
When you kill a player with an HE Grenade you receive 2 BLC, the victim LOSES 2 BLC.
When you kill a player with a knife you receive 3 BLC, the victim LOSES 3 BLC.
If you are killed you LOSE coins per the above. The coins are taken from your wallet balance. You have been warned Of course, this also opens up the possibility to profit from game play. If you kill a target who's wallet is empty or does not have enough coin to take you will not receive any coin, and they will not lose any coins and will not go negative wallet.

If you see the error in chat:
There was an error loading your wallet, please try re-connecting to the server.

Reconnect to the server and if it still fails, call an admin with the /calladmin command.

Owners of Counter-Strike 1.6 can test the server: 207.210.117.83:27015
Helpful commands:
blc_help
rank
/guns
/bounty
/calladmin

Screenshot, Blakecoin logo's added to a few maps. Some original BLC logos and some by bzyzny (nice work).

Please note, no coins are actually stored on the server at that IP



You can open the console by pressing ~. The command to bind keys is:
bind "key" "action"

So:
bind "b" "say_team /guns"
And/Or:
bind "F10" "say /bounty"

It is possible to vastly improve performance via various client side settings. Inside my steamapps/common/half-life/cstrike directory I have created a file named userconfig.cfg. That file is automatically executed when the game client is run.

This sets my rates to 20000-20-20-512K Symmetrical, and also binds the F8 key. Everytime I press F8 a new set of rates are applied, allowing me to test the different values and see which results in the best performance.

Cheating is NOT allowed in this server. Admins have the ability to spectate game play without being visible on the scoreboard. If you require assistance or think someone is cheating use the /calladmin command. In the event a player is not obviously cheating you may opt to put up 500 Blakecoins and open a cheat resolution case. An admin will *secretly* spectate the accused player and make use of the ability to take screenshots and demo's on the targets client. If the accused player refuses to upload the recorded screenshots, demo's, etc, or if they are otherwise found to be cheating they will be permanently banned and you will receive your 500 BLC back. If after a thorough review by an admin an accused player is not found to be cheating you will forfeit the 500 BLC you paid and the accused player will receive 400 BLC.
