Hand-sniping

Chearful recently has failed to get the names "Spawner" and "Graph", due to handsniping.
Does this mean hand-sniping is actually going to be a thing now?

https://namemc.com/profile/Graph.3 <- Has a youtube channel with a random boy speaking
https://namemc.com/profile/Spawner.3 <- Has some random girls instagram linked

Both would not have that shitty name history and would have 1 or no name changes

Well, like anyone here deserves the names. They're abusing mojang's systems, what makes that right?

Might be a thing, but the real question is why didn't SMKM try to get these accounts, as doesn't he/she have a good enough hand sniper? or did he/she not focus on getting these.

I don't know, maybe CrypticError could address this

Mcsniper comeback?

I'm speechless... How is this even possible... How can those buffoons get these names with 1000 searches when I can't even get one with 100 on it with a paid sniper

They've probably made the server that handles blocking go offline due to too many requests, therefore the name wasn't blocked and could be publicly claimed

I have a friend who handsniped Bar. Its hard but not impossible.

 

[jxhdvn]

Yes these have been definitely handsniped.

The people that claimed it deserved it more than these snipers tbh, they claimed it fairly without abusing the system, which is unethical.

I paid $150 for Spawner, it was handsniped.

I'm baffled at how a service dedicated to sniping can fail to snipe it. They use private proxies, and yet some randoms handsnipe?

I know everyone is saying 'Oh, they overflooded Mojang's servers'
If that's the case, fix the issue before taking $150 from me, or $4 from other users who purchase credits and fail their snipe.

Confirmed, Mojang disabled blocking.

Only reason I theorised that it was some 3rd party caused event was because a name was blocked mid-day, in between the two OG's, and the response signatures from mojang looked very different.[DOUBLEPOST=1520559628][/DOUBLEPOST]If you try to run

curl 'https://authserver.mojang.com/authenticate' -H 'Host: authserver.mojang.com' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{"agent":{"name":"Minecraft","version":1},"password":"PASSWORD_HERE","requestUser":true,"username":"EMAIL_HERE"}'

Then take the accessToken from the response.

curl 'https://api.mojang.com/user/profile/agent/minecraft/name/NAME_TO_BLOCK' -X PUT -H 'Host: api.mojang.com' -H 'Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN'

returns {"error":"UnauthorizedOperationException","errorMessage":"User not authenticated"}

Therefore, sniping is, dead ?
