It's not being abandoned, just when we rebrand it will no longer be in the name. That's about getting away from the perception that we are just a faucet.
That's a interesting move as normally freebitco is considered a faucet to collect free satoshis and this will help them in remaking their image, but I hope freebitco does PR also for this to get maximum out of their rebranding.
And I got email message about reward points bonus and I noticed this thing at the bottom of message
FreeBitco.in, 3rd Floor, J and C Building, PO Box 933, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands
So, this means that Freebitco.in now registered as official company?
Probably not. There are probably minimal laws and minimal enforcement there (however, they are sending out their location so maybe).
The British Virgin Islands are one of the places Britons use for legal tax evasion (probably what this site is doing also).
It's a normal practice which is no big deal and is done by all, it's actually a safe procedure I would say to do this can't say they're registered or no but they're more legit than the registered firms so doesn't matter.
