Topic: To freebitco.in and their representative, TheQuin - page 8. (Read 7134 times)

I suppose there is a possibility his employer to him to not post a goodbye or change of duties message, we do not know.

Why they thought it was a good idea to remove a familiar name and replace him with someone else as a forum representative is confusing but he has had his duties allocated away from the forum according to this post by freebitco.in PR and that move has caused controversy because those members interested in freebitco.in viewed him as a reference point for the website.

and

I just checked some pages of his post history: he started as a normal forum user, but in the past 6 years, he almost exclusively posted about freebitcoDOTin. It looks like he went from forum member to casino employee, and that's where his loyalties shifted.

I didn't know about that because I don't visit Games and rounds section. It surprised me that wetsuit says Freebitco.in has a lot more users than this forum. Then why does he advertise here for 4 years?

At first I didn't believe there was a problem because bunch of newbie accounts were reporting issues, I thought it was a spam attack from their competitors but now it's clear that this website left carelessly, which I don't really understand. Wetsuit probably has bunch of coins, if he has no time, he could hire a team that would take care of freebitco. TheQuin is a DT member and this was the leverage of freebitco.in to my mind, now they lost this leverage. It's very pity that TheQuin, DT member doesn't care about forum members and didn't tell us a single word about what's going on. He hasn't logged in since 23 May. This isn't the Freebitco.in that I loved and was supporting.

There are basically two internet browsers at the moment.

1- Firefox and firefox based browsers (which are not many)
2- Chrome and chrome based browsers (basically everything that is not forefox. Opera, brave etc)

If chrome adds the new update that kills adblockers, firefox will be the only option left.


Agreed. Let’s stay in topic. Do not talk about browsers. If you want to talk about browsers, create a thread and talk there. Cmon people

I normally don't see the ads, but the link opened in another browser and I thought I'd watch the ads as they sometimes last seconds but he has put at least two very long ads. As not everyone uses blockers, I recommended him not to use such long ads while he has so few followers, as such long ads can turn people away.

Now, can we stop the discussions about ublock, Firefox and Opera please? They are off topic in this thread.

How so? I am genuinely curious.

What if we stop using sites cluttered with ads? You close it and move on. (From an SEO aspect, it will certainly harm domain authority)
I never use an ad blocker and I have nothing against the site having some discreet advertising (something has to bring money into my pocket), but if the ads (or any pop-up) are dominant, then I am not interested in the site's content.


Opera is even better than Firefox.

This method will no longer work once Brave imports the Manifest V3 crap that Chrome just added. I guess just use Firefox instead.

uBlock is one option and there are many out there but without commenting specifically about the member that has his videos online, just in the general sense (when it comes to gathering data about what the average viewer is doing) ads are doing much more than just showcasing a product or service. They are used as trackers too therefore should be blocked to increase privacy.

Use brave (disable its native adblocker) + ublock origin and you won’t be seeing any ads unless it embedded in the content video which seems not to be the case according to the reply above. I still find it fascinating seeing people using the internet without any adblocker software. The internet is the new TV. Unless you fight back, you’ll get overflowed with ads

Sincere apologies.
We don't control the ads, looks like youtube is doing whatever they want. Truly sorry about that.

We tried to use a different platform previously (e.g. Odysee) but youtube is simply the best from what we've seen.

I've seen that I appear on the video, lol. But I'm just a nickname here. Congratulations for having warned of the problems three months ago as well.

But you put too long ads before the video. For a channel that barely has any followers it doesn't seem like a good strategy. Better to put few and short ads at the beginning.

No, it doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

This is our newest video about the saga with freebitco, video #2 in these "series":

One would have to make a presumption that with it being a website they have their own customer base and not all of them are associated with this forum therefore would have no reason to post here about their winnings (or alleged winnings).

I cannot concur about his silence being incriminating but according to the post freebitco.in made today in another thread, it seems TheQuin will longer be posting in the forum. It does somehow look very suspicious as far as timing is concerned but the way he framed it was to appear as a business decision to allow him to focus on fraud prevention.

Another post by @freebitco.in PR in which all the blame for what happened with the hacking of a certain number of users is shifted to the users themselves. There is no explanation about the deposits that have been stuck for even 8 months. As for @TheQuin, we now at least know that he will no longer be active on BTT, so no explanations should be expected from him.

It's not that they pay anyone posting on the forum.
They give $5 to anyone posting screensheet of winning the two biggest prizes of their faucet.

Read the old post made by TheQuin about the live stats.

Any reason why you say that the Freebitco players get paid $5 to post on Bitcointalk? This is the first time I hear it.

Their counter must be fake. If it was 2014, I would believe that users win 1 Bitcoin every hour because the price was very low but there is no way users win 1 Bitcoin every hour. Look at their registered users counter. It goes up with a regular speed, doesn't matter when you visit the website, the speed of users registering on Freebitco is the same, I haven't seen a little delay in a number of registered users. To be fair, I never trust any live statistics that shows the number of registering users in live with some other live statistics.

Btw is Freebitco really as popular as this article claims? [urk=https://decrypt.co/11005/bitcoin-casino-third-largest-internet-gambling-site-in-the-world]Bitcoin casino Freebitco.in is the third-largest Internet gambling platform in the world[/url]

Nope, the topics about it were mostly ignored so I didn't bother. I guess TheQuin's "bullying" of people who complained worked well back then. I remember him posting he's just not going to respond anymore.

In casinos it is even worse, because you never have 50 to win. It is 48.64% in European roulette and 47.37% in American roulette.


That's what I was thinking.


I have to agree with you, I had the numbers in my head and it already seemed to me a deviation too far from the mean but I started to look at the other pages and they look the same, so everything indicates that with the larger sample we would still have similar numbers.

I think I flopped one Royal Straight Flush in my entire life (and only won the blinds because my opponents folded), which has a probability of 0.000154%. And I've played millions of hands. It's two orders of magnitude more likely than this.


This should be kept in mind in case they come back claiming to have solved all the problems. The numbers don't add up.


Well, you have just convinced me. Although I had already red tagged them for other reasons. You didn't consider a neutral tag then?

That possibility was brought up before (probably back in 2018). But I don't think that's likely: they get paid $5 to post on Bitcointalk, and we're talking about people who clicked captchas to earn $0.002 per hour. They literally earn 2500 times more by posting on Bitcointalk, so I don't think the larger prize winners are less likely to post. And they'd have to be 12.5 times less likely to post than $20 prize winners to make the prize distribution plausible.
The website's need for publicity turns out to be the smoking gun.

It's hard to convince people a tag is justified, when it comes to statistical evidence.

That's peanuts compared to the sample I mentioned. With half the data from 10 out of 152 pages, I got a 0.00000239452 chance of it happening. Assuming (I'm not going to count 152 pages) that continues on the other pages, the chance of so little $200 prizes is (give or take) 0.00000239452³⁰. That's around 2.4*10^-169. Your one in a million poker hands are going to happen eventually. The E-169 thing confirms foul play.

That's all I wanted to hear

Quick math:
I checked the "BITCOINS WON BY USERS" counter on their website. It increases by about 1 Bitcoin every 40 seconds. That's about 15 Bitcoin per hour. 360 per day. At 5% house edge, the house earns about 18 Bitcoin per day. That's $1.25 million. Could that be anywhere near the truth?
