Topic: To freebitco.in and their representative, TheQuin - page 5. (Read 7051 times)
I would not be surprised if we are now seeing the final stages of their website (and business) before it completely collapses. Like all businesses in all walks of life they also are fully aware that once they have a tarnished reputation it will be difficult if not impossible to win customer/client confidence back. They had their time and their best days are behind them now therefore they are probably not interested in it any more.
~ Freebitco doesn't care about what's going on and that doesn't need any proof. When was the last time wetsuit or TheQuin came here? When was the last time you heard a response from them? I have an impression that Freebitco.in is abandoned...
Wetsuit was last online November 26, 2023, and his last post was 6 years ago.TheQuin was last online May 23, 2024 and his last post was 7 weeks earlier.
Even if the site isn't abandoned, the users should abandon it!
3.5 years ago, TheQuin gave a small insight into how much money the site had made:
There is currently 229 BTC of dust deposits that haven't been swept.
The 229 BTC is made up of 1,382,227 UTxOs. So if 50 takes 9,850 bytes that's 197 bytes each meaning 272,298,719 bytes total or minimum cost of 2.72298719 BTC.
That's 15 million dollars in dust alone, so it's safe to assume the "normal" funds are many times more. I guess they're simply too rich by now to care about people scraping dust from their cheating faucet, and I guess the competition from much newer online casinos combined with Bitcoin's price increase may have diminished the inflow of new Bitcoins. 
I have an impression that Freebitco.in is abandoned...
I got a similar impression from several other users, but on the other hand, several users admitted that the freebitco.in representatives really resolved the problem completely and resolved it. It's true that many newbie come to complain and say something that further affects the reputation of freebitco.in, but I'm sure they don't mean to damage the reputation if they come to solve the problem. I don't expect freebitco.in to have been abandoned even though there is such an impression from the way they have handled matters so far. 
Actually csfbc responded to my message here so a little support from there is…even if it’s a little one
We will see how long the complaint-free period will last. We don't know if they only temporarily solved the problem or if it was eliminated.
It is still unclear why it was difficult for them to come here, they say they have a problem and are working on solving it. It happens and no one would blame them.
I don't understand Freebitco's approach to the problem. There were withdrawal issues, then they fixed it, then issues raised again and as it seems, they fixed it again. Every issue will damage their reputation even further and every fix of the issue in this manner will only drain their wallet. I don't know what's in their mind, they could do very well if they had fixed the issue immediately without scam accusations and negative reviews in their ann thread.It is still unclear why it was difficult for them to come here, they say they have a problem and are working on solving it. It happens and no one would blame them.
I do not want to put any negativity on anything related to recent posts from newbies about scam allegations including those that later posted to state they no longer had problems as they were now resolved but when allegations are made without any evidence being presented it does raise concerns surrounding the motives of those making the allegation.
As much as freebitco.in could have been (and still are) having problems, it does not mean every single allegation against them is true. Members should still be asking for evidence in the form of screenshots before accepting the allegation as being true. If there are circumstances where evidence cannot be presented, a reason should be provided and the community can then decide whether to accept it.
I agree with you but at the same time, to be fair, Freebitco doesn't care about what's going on and that doesn't need any proof. When was the last time wetsuit or TheQuin came here?

Screenshots don't prove anything. It's only useful if you trust the source, in which case you wouldn't need the screenshot.

It got fixed for me aswell, when request, confirm mail was within seconds.
-snip-
Finally I was able to withdraw now, BTC arrive, confirmation email arrive and payment was done quickly, no F2A activated account 
Meanwhile - I still found some other users complaining on the freebitcoin ANN thread. The problem may have been resolved for some users - but perhaps not for all. What's unfortunate - no representative came forward to explain what the situation is now.
Everything works now even without 2fa..they solved the problem
Right. I don't have enough balance to request a withdrawal and I also have 2FA activated.
To see if the problem with authorization emails have been solved, I requested a password reset and I can confirm that the issues have been solved and I received the authorization email without any delay.

I'm also confused why the people running freebitco.in haven't posted here to explain what's going on.
It's quite impossible.
We've been running faucets ourselves, 20 actually, for over 6-7 years now, and if one technical thing goes wrong the amount of tickets/inquiries you would be getting is enormous ... they can't respond to all inquiries.
Their best bet is to resolve the technical issues and post an announcement. Secondly, they should definitely change the way they operate, but so far they don't really seem to care.
Not even referring to the previous incidents reported about stolen/hacked accounts, take all the info posted here with a grain of salt (if you wish) and decide what to do next.
There should be a simple equation here:
No trust = No business
It is very sad that people are still being affected by the issues related to freebitco.in therefore it is not a nice experience for you but next time you post about your experiences regarding them, remember to post screenshots. Also it will be good if you could add as much context and background information as possible in order for those of us reading it to understand what happened.
I tried contacting support in so many ways but no response. If you cant login anymore you probably lost all btc and fun allready.
My account was also change of email / password and even 2fa but i can still see it. All btc is withdrawn, and support dont react on any way. The new spokeman for support also dont react. I guess there is something bad happening atm.

They care about their reputation here on the forum...
I don't think so. In that sense I am a behaviorist. If you tell me you take your reputation seriously on the forum but don't actually do anything to take care of it, you don't take it seriously. Period. It is an example that it is better to listen to what people do than what they say.
Persistent opening of new support accounts is a kind of "washing" of the biography. The moment they receive negative or even neutral (with a negative reason) feedback, they soon decide to create a new account.
I have already written about the mutual addition of FBin accounts between themselves on the trust list. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.64295307
One of the accounts somehow ended up with DT2 status, so this may be an attempt to abuse and transfer DT status to related accounts.
Only someone who cares about their reputation here does such things, which does not mean that it is the right way.
The new guy is offline since 11 July…don’t know what tf is he doing but lots of users like me can’t withdraw anything
I'm also confused why the people running freebitco.in haven't posted here to explain what's going on. Seems like they should give folks a heads up on the current situation, and maybe estimate how long before things get fixed or at least usable again. Back when TheQuin was around, issues were handled better I thought. If freebitco.in cares about their reputation on this forum, they oughta be working harder to protect it.
Yeah, under TheQuin issues were handled much better. Not sure what happened later, maybe they just grown into such huge website that could afford to not care much about their reputation on Bitcointalk forum and other platforms. They hired new support guy, but seems that he didn't improved situation much.
