Disclaimer
It should be noted that Bckn does not use a block-chain, or any similar technology. Bckn is not a "cryptocurrency". Bckn is a centralized-database economy system for Minecraft servers.
Privacy
The only PII that the Bckn server stores is your IP address, User-Agent and Origin, as part of the webserver logs. This information is automatically purged after 30 days.
What's New
A lot of new features have been added to the Bckn API starting in 2020. Here's a showcase of some of the new things!
New!
The websocket gateway returned by /ws/start is now wss://ws.bckn.dev. You should connect to the URL returned by /ws/start instead of hardcoding the URL.
The API URL has been changed to bckn.dev.
Names have a new transferred field that returns when they were last transferred to a new owner.
Names now store their original owner in the original_owner field. Now you can check if they have been transferred by simply comparing these fields.
The Search API has been added. It can be used to find addresses, transactions, names and blocks that match a given search query.
Transactions now return the name and metaname they were originally sent to, via the sent_name and sent_metaname fields. Now you no longer have to parse the metadata!
/motd now returns a lot more info about the Bckn node and its configuration. It also returns this for websockets when they first connect, via the hello message.
A new endpoint (/work/detailed) has been added to provide quick detailed information about when the block value will next decrease if a name has been recently purchased.
Transactions now return their type (e.g. mined, transfer) in the API.
Block submission now supports binary nonces, up to 24 bytes long.

The Lookup API has been added, allowing you to look up events in bulk (e.g. multiple addresses at once, transactions for multiple addresses).
