We had exchanged a few PMs and it's been a while since then. I thought I'd drop a message here, since you were worrying about FH being "new" and might have "security" issues when it first launched. It's been over 5 months since then, and we've taken over the faucet scene.
More than 60% of faucet industry coins are going through faucethub, and it can be seen on the stats page.
You remember that I offered you a direct withdraw option from faucethub to your site. That was the reason I approached today.
I'm not sure if your "community manager" consulted you before posting what he posted, but I find this very unprofessional and disappointing.
Anyway, forget I even asked you (wetsuit) to add FH as a withdraw option.
Wish you good luck with your business.

I apologise for Myfe, he wasn't aware about our past conversations. However, a lot of consecutive posts about FH in a short span of time would appear suspicious to someone who hasn't been around in this forum for a long time and I feel he was just trying to defend the thread against what he considered to be spam. I would have preferred if you would have contacted me directly instead of asking your users to post here.
I do not consider FH to be a competitor, it is just a different service from FreeBitco.in. I went through the slow payments that FreeBitco.in has made in the last 7 days and even with the current network load, we are paying 0.75% of the total transaction amount in network fees. The amount is even lower for instant payments. We have made 106.69799206 BTC in slow payments over the last 7 days and paid 0.79255268 BTC in fees. I have been working on consolidating inputs to further bring down the fees to about 0.3% or even lower. As you can see using FH would increase my transaction costs by a significant amount (0.8 BTC/week even without the optimizations and the current high network fees which is approx. $5,000 extra per month). This is of course assuming that everyone on FreeBitco.in chooses to use FH for their auto-withdraws. Then there will be additional fees with having to top up my FH account as well.
Costs aside, if enough active users request adding FH as a payment option, I would consider it but I have gone through the emails and to date we have only received 2 such requests via the contact form.
