Description
Build your own computer and mine some Bitcoin!

//

Important Update: Feb 15, 2025
CoinDesk shut down their free API, so this addon now uses a configured Bitcoin value. If you had this addon installed on your server prior to February 15, 2025, you will need to delete the config file at data/sweptthrone_addons/stbitminers.txt to let the addon generate a new file with the Bitcoin value field. If you made changes to your config file, you can back it up and replace the values in the new file, but you still need to let the addon generate a new config file.

Need a BitMiner addon that's completely and absolutely free? Then STBitMiners is for you!

STBitMiners is a moderately challenging and kinda fun way to make money on your DarkRP server. To get Bitcoins, you'll need a computer to use as a dedicated BitMiner. You must build this yourself with the parts provided. Then you must connect a monitor, and you can start mining!

This addon produces Bitcoins that give you a configurable amount of money per coin. It previously used the real-time value of Bitcoin but since the API I used went offline, it no longer does this.

I made this because I initially made the constructable computer, and wanted to do something more with it. Also I dislike paid addons, so I thought I'd make some of the community happy. I will never take any money for my work.

You can spawn all of the parts and monitor in any gamemode, but only DarkRP supports actual BitMining.

Features and Contents
A computer case and nine parts to assemble your BitMiner
A pre-made, less efficient BitMiner
Configurable Bitcoin prices, with a billboard to see it
Semi-FUNctionality in any gamemode
No additional content needed

Configurable settings include:
Value of one Bitcoin.
How much Bitcoin is produced each cycle by the BitMiner
How much Bitcoin is produced each cycle by the MiniMiner
How long a BitMiner cycle is
How long a MiniMiner cycle is

Order of construction:
1. Computer Case
2. Optical Drive
3. Power Supply
4. Motherboard
5. Hard Disk Drive
6. RAM Card
7. CPU Fan
8. Sound Card
9. Video Card
10. Computer Cover

Note that this addon may not work perfectly, as there are a lot of things I'm thinking of right now that could go wrong. If anything goes wrong, that means script errors, incorrect calculations, or anything else, leave it in a comment below.

Known "Issues"
None.

Future Plans
A weapon that lets you hack BitMiners to steal from them.
A physical BitCoin ATM to get slightly more money.

That was fast! It works perfect now, thank you. I don't know if you plan on continuing to add on to this mod or not, but adding a weapon that can hack and steal from the BitMiners is a cool idea. I would be curious to see how it would work in a roleplay setting, if you ever decide to add it.

okay it should be fixed.

you will need to delete your current config file at data/sweptthrone_addons/stbitminers.txt to let the addon recreate it with the value field. you can just back up the file you have now if you made changes and bring your changes over, but you still need to let the addon generate a new file.

The coindesk page is down or something and causing errors for the mod. Can you make it configurable so you get x amount of money every x minutes instead? I was looking forward to using this on my server as I like how you need to build the pc before you can mine.
