I'm not disagreeing with you that you (and the other two members) are experiencing issues. I'm simply pointing out that, despite your claims, the problem doesn't necessarily originate from FreeBitcoin. As you can see, the "problem" doesn't seem to be affecting everyone, and I can attest to that.  Whether you find this information useful is entirely up to you. However, until we get more information and hear their side of the story, we cannot definitively conclude that it's their fault. We can't exclude the possibility that something else is causing the issue.

Yes, the newly generated addresses are also listed in the OLD DEPOSIT ADDRESSES list. I think it's always been that way.



Yes, I saw that screenshot. I noticed that the QR code of the generated address is missing. That in itself is suspicious. Also, pay attention to other users' responses below that post. None of them have seen such a notification and some other members are also skeptical about the legitimacy of the notification.

Yeah, gambling addiction may initially seem like an individual's personal struggle, but its impacts spread much further.  While one person battles the addiction, their loved ones shoulder burdens too.  Financial woes, strained relationships, even domestic violence can result when desperation sets in.  And when gamblers exhaust legal means of funding their addiction, some turn to theft, fraud, or worse.  Now the ripples reach entire communities threatening safety and security and  additionally, the health effects of problem gambling - depression, anxiety, even physical illness due to stress - tax medical systems.  Resources redirected to addiction treatment could have aided those facing health challenges through no fault of their own.  So while gambling addiction manifests on a personal level its tendrils creep outward to affect families, neighborhoods, and systems meant to serve wider society.  A solitary fight becomes a societal concern

No, I would never personally hire such a member for my campaign.  Unfortunately, some campaign managers have such low standards and prioritize quantity over quality.  Stake's manager is one example of this, as evidenced by the "borovichok" case.  Despite multiple warnings, he was only removed after a strong backlash from the community and negative publicity.

I have to disagree with this as I have just successfully generated a new deposit address in my freebitco.in account.  I'm still not sure what the issue is that you guys are facing, but none of the above was reflected in my experience using the FreeBitcoin site in recent days.

I understand what you're saying but that still doesn't rule out the possibility that your computers are infected with malware or something similar. I repeat, FreeBitcoin.in has never used P2SH addresses for deposits as far as I know and I have never seen any notification in my account or reports of such a thing from any reputable member.

You say that you are unable to generate a new deposit address in your freebitco.in account - Do you know why is that? Have you tried accessing the site from another browser or another computer? Maybe you have some browser extensions or scripts that are messing things up.

I think MathWallet is quite popular specifically because of the support for a large number of altcoins. But, I would never recommend a wallet that isn't fully open-source, which applies to both MathWallet and TrustWallet.  I'm not sure if users have had any problems with it, but I remember reading some reports that Mathwallet was collecting too much personal information about wallets and users. So I wouldn't use it for anything important.

This is a tough situation. Rehab can help start the healing process, but clearly there are deeper issues at play.  The brother-in-law's actions suggest a troubling pattern of impulsive behavior and lack of conscience.  Stealing from a child to feed an addiction crosses serious ethical lines.  Perhaps legal authorities or family interventions need to set firm boundaries, requiring restitution and accountability and  addiction treatment alone may not fully address this individual's capacity for harm, so additional measures seem warranted to wake him up and protect vulnerable potential victims.  Tough love and real consequences could motivate real change.

This is an online forum platform, a place for open discussion and diverse viewpoints. Though some folks prefer stuff made a certain way, writing off AI images completely seems a bit harsh and  i doubt the OP would get ignored just for using some computer-made images now and then. Unless of course he overdoes it. But then again, you can do that with regular images and other content as well.

I recently ignored some clown who excessively used colored text in his posts. Obviously, it's not against the forum rules, but I find it childish and I don't want to go through threads that look like a circus show. That's my personal preference.

My advice would be that mentoring isn't fully required to learn the technicals of Bitcoin, especially as a beginner.  The awesome thing about this rapidly developing technological space is that so much supportive learning material exists, freely accessible online - tutorials insightful blog articles, comprehensive video courses - deliberately created for us newbies. 

I'd suggest focusing your initial energy on the basics: the backend blockchain mechanics, how essential cryptography functions, the step-by-step processes confirming transactions...  While developing working technical knowledge can feel overwhelming early on the key is taking things slow, absorbing piece-by-piece.  And, don't let unfamiliar concepts deter you from diving deeper through continued reading and research self-exploration.

because only through actively trying things out yourself, getting your hands metaphorically dirty by running tests and practical experiments do the abstract principles start feeling more concrete.  So once youve patiently built up enough baseline theoretical understanding, begin playing around - it's often in those moments of trial-and-error applied learning that everything clicks together.  And even when the complex technical discussions happening, don't hesitate participating to learn from other's perspectives; the community is welcoming of curious newcomers bringing fresh ideas and questions to the table.

That's so strange and I don't know why FreeBitco.in would do such a thing. I'm not saying you're not telling the truth, but it seems like something else could be at stake here. You mentioned the notification looked genuine, everything seemed to function normally, and it even appeared on your mobile app. And the notification vanished after your unsuccessful deposit attempt to the new P2SH address, and the old address reappeared. That timing is awfully suspicious and that's concerning if it was a fake.

Also, there don't seem to be any other reports from other users, except for you two.

As I said before, I was active on the site at that time and did not see any notification and my FreeBitco.in deposit address did not change during that period. Only when I requested a new deposit address, the system generated a new address, but it is still a legacy address, and all old, previously generated deposit addresses should work as before.

Are the two of you absolutely sure that the notification came from a legitimate freebitco.in site and not from some phishing site? Or maybe your computer is infected with some kind of malware?

I have never seen such a notification on my account or in an email from FreeBitcoin and all the old deposit addresses still work, at least that's what it says on my account.


And clicking "NEW DEPOSIT ADDRESS" still gives a legacy address starting with 1, not 3.

I don't think gambling's a good thing for kids, no matter how old they are.  But I guess when he's old enough to decide for himself and has his own money to spend, itll be his call.  I wouldn't want to bankroll his betting, that's for sure.


Probably never.


No. Don't get me wrong, a little game here and there, just for fun ain't an issue.  but if its real, sticking happiness you want, gambling likely won't cut it.


No. I can't think of anything. However, I'm not addicted to gambling.

Whoa, let's take a step back for a minute.  Are we really saying it's the victim's fault if they get scammed? That would be like blaming someone who gets jumped in a dark alley for walking there in the first place.

Look, scammers can be super crafty and manipulative.  They always look for new ways to take advantage of people.  But we cant expect everyone to be experts on how to avoid being tricked and  sure, education helps. But the responsibility can't all be on the potential victim to outsmart every nasty scam out there.  We should be calling out the scammers, not blaming people who get fooled.

You mean wallets, right?

Why did you only mention Ledger hardware wallet? Most hardware wallets that support altcoins also support BEP20 tokens. For example, SafePal and OneKey hardware wallets have native support for BEP20 in their apps. And probably many others as well.

Bitget is the only "top tier" exchange that will list the ChatAI token as far as I can see. Are there any others you can point to besides a single exchange with a questionable reputation?

Let's be real, this sounds an awful lot like shilling a low-volume token with fancy buzzwords.

I don't care much for casino games run through Telegram bots.  Sure, Telegram has some privacy features, but that can also provide cover for shady stuff.  You can never fully know who you're interacting with on there.  Maybe some platforms are legit, but you risk running into rigged games or outright scams too. 

I'd rather stick to reputable gambling sites I can trust and  more hassle perhaps, but worth it for peace of mind and confidence Im getting a fair game.

The house edges at Stake and BCH.games are different because of how their games work, specifically the payout multipliers when you win.  Let me explain with dice as an example.  

Stake's dice game lets you double your money if you roll over 50.50.  That leaves a narrower range of losing rolls, so your odds of winning are 49.50%.  

BCH. games makes it tougher - you might have to roll over 50.99 to double your money.  Lower odds for you means a higher house edge.

It's subtle, but those little tweaks in the game mechanics shift the math in favor of the casino more at BCH.games.  So over time, across lots of bets, it works out to a 1% house edge for Stake and 2% at BCH.  


Yes, it's similar for other games as well.

Online gambling's never going to fully replace traditional casinos.  Vegas thrives on sensory overload - the lights, the sounds, the excitement.  Can't replicate that rush on a phone screen.  But more and more folks do prefer mobile betting.

So, old-school casinos must up their game.  Draw in younger crowds make it an event, not just gambling.  Give people memorable nights they'll wanna re-live again.  Casinos have history on their side.  Leverage nostalgia and really play that up.

Yeah, it's not hilarious at all. Hunger pangs totally throw off my concentration and put me in a crappy mood.  And mixing an empty stomach with gambling is just asking for trouble and  at least for me (maybe for you too?), trying to gamble when I'm starved leads me to make some stupid calls.  I get impatient, start trying to win back losses out of desperation, and just fail to think stuff through rationally. So, to keep gambling fun and not let it get outta hand I need a full belly and clear head.

Trying to predict Bitcoin's price movements is kinda like playing the lottery 

The halving moment coming up seems like it could send Bitcoin over $75k based on past patterns. 10k needed to get there is nothing. So I voted - Yes. But ultimately, it's anyone's guess.  I'll say Bitcoin hitting $100k by the end of 2024 wouldnt shock me.  Though with Bitcoin (and crypto in general) not much does anymore!
