First, I did not use that dynamic IPs and did not record the address when I used it to test freebitco.in registration a few days ago
second, I am just like you, some time ago when your IP was blocked and TheQuin asked about your IP and you decided not to reveal it.
I'm just not comfortable when revealing my location
if my analysis is correct then maybe this also happens to many Dynamic ISPs and will cause a decrease in traffic to freebitco.in
but TheQuin was very sure of the system he designed, so maybe I was wrong
-----------------
@TheQuin
I have considered ISP with 150 million customers as a clue
As I said we don't block ISPs so I didn't research how many customers they have. The IP databases are not 100% accurate and sometimes when the database is updated an address range can be reclassified as a VPN, proxy or whatever. I try and only block ranges that are heavily abused rather than rely just on the classification. I respect all of our customers' privacy but I'm sure you understand I can't look into it without the IP address affected.
Thequin has given a fair reasoning there.
@garry, if you want to contact your isp to ask them to give you a new IP address then that might help you and mean you don’t have to hand it over to thequin.
Otherwise, you’ll hav pe to give your IP address to thequin to try to remove you from the database.
TheQuin already said he blocks a range of IP's, if and when it is found that it is abusing the system. A new IP from the same ISP will most probably be in the same range or subnet, so this will not help.
I respect the fact that people do not want to dox themselves, by giving out information that might help people to reveal their true identity, but then they will have to be willing to cut their losses.

I mean when I did it I got a completely different range, the first number was still the same but depending on the depth of the range, Garry could request one out of it. Ranges are used for locations (supposedly), in my country most towns with a population high enough have their own range of first letter,
