Sorry we are experiencing a few DDOS attacks of late which is overwhelming the database server. We have some upgrades planned in the next couple of days which should eliminate such downtimes.

@wetsuit, so what is the chance you will still implement your mining investment program? I'm really interested in it(and many others are too, I think Smiley )

We might do it in the future, currently we are expanding our mining capacity regardless (we are at 4.5 PH/s now which is about 0.1% of the total bitcoin network).

[image snip]


could you provide roll verifier link on your number?


What do you mean? Isn't the roll verifier something that verifies the casino rolls? I don't think it applies to the free to play section of the website.

Hey wetsuit, any chance every once in awhile you could do a special promo for point redemptions where you drop the threshold to convert to btc to like 10,000 points or something? I can't see myself getting to 100,000 points in less than a few years, and I'm not a super casual user either. It could be like a repatriation holiday the US sometimes has, where all the corporations with money overseas get to bring it home with a low tax rate instead of the standard one. I think that'd be a cool gesture for your small users who don't have a ton of referrals to rack up points to give them the ability to cash them out every six months or so.

Free play rolls are provably fair as well and clicking the provably fair link in the free play page will show you the seeds being used for the roll. The "repatriation holiday" idea is a good one, i'll look into implementing it.

Does this website not have a withdraw history tab?

They claim to have paid one of my accounts with them in Bitcoins, they claim to have sent the bitcoins, but the address tied to my account doesn't reflect anything on the blockchain....

Something seems wrong.

It's in STATS -> PERSONAL STATS. We also send an email with the tx id after making the payment.

I updated the post above yours with pictures, maybe helpful.

It says there has been 0.00468756 BTC paid out, but I've only ever received an email on this account on 11/28/16 in regards to activating this particular account, there isn't a txId on that PERSONAL STATS page (I included a photo of this page above) and the Blockchain doesn't reflect a payment to the address linked on my account: https://blockchain.info/address/1FV4GT6sjSvkERMRhFiWgFp3nSJstrXg2e

Thanks for responding and helping me figure out what went on. <3

Oh, we only store payout details for 30 days and I can see that you have changed your address at least once since signing up (the sign up address was 1EDjq9zoZ51FCrLgA3D5afZWXeoZdwyU1x). For old payouts, I'll need to look if I can track down the transaction hash (if at all possible), but only after tomorrow.

I would much rather see more innovative games for entertainment purposes on your site. The Multiplier and lottery is a bit boring.

I second this. Add more games for something to do in the hour between free rolls.



I have been working on a new game but is a bit complex so taking a while. It's quite different from any online game I have seen.

thank you for the .1 btc for free

Congrats.

I also confirm that I received my BTC0.1 prize. Thanks again wetsuit!

ps. If you're looking to add something new to the website, we could do a little brainstorming here and share ideas.

Sure, I would appreciate all suggestions and will reward anyone if we implement their idea in the future too.

Admin, I want to suggest one minor "new feature". Is it possible to add a feature like "Your last ten rolls", because more than once (last night was the latest), I roll a second or higher tier while I was on my phone but I can't publish it here because I was on certain situation where it took too much to snap with phone (I did some screenshot with phone and posted here, but that is because I was at home and I can do the whole snap then upload and things like that under my convenience). So, if we can have those feature, I think it will be very nice to "oh, I got a high roll. Let me post it later from my laptop when I am home."

I agree with this idea. I often play on my phone as well when I am at work and outside. It will of be of help if we can see our last rolls, lotteries and dice rolls at some section of our profile.

Then we can post it here as well in a more concise manner along with the original screenshot (if taken).

Maybe a link on that page to this thread as well so we can navigate easily to this page directly as well.

You can see your roll history in the MULTIPLY BTC page, which shows all the free rolls too with the verification link. Is that what you were looking for?

I am sorry to announce that the new feature that we were working on will not be released in the near future. I'll try to explain what we were trying to do.

I was trying to create a mining investment program for users where users would be able to invest their bitcoins with us and we would use it to purchase bitcoin miners and generate profits. The way that I had designed this was that it would carry absolutely no risk to the user (other than us running away with their money, which is always a risk with any investment) and users would be guaranteed a fixed return on their investment (around 8-10% APR) measured in bitcoins, regardless of the BTC price. It would eliminate most issues with "cloud-mining" schemes and users would not have to worry about the difficulty and price, we would assume all of that risk. We would also provide proof of our mining hashrate to show that we were not running a fractional mining scheme.

To do this, we had already installed about 2 petahashes of mining power with another 2.5 petahashes planned to be installed soon. However, the main issue is that there simply isn't enough stock of efficient miners available to make this viable. There is no point in raising investments if we are unable to expand quickly and currently it seems like that will not be possible to do soon. Also, the recent price volatility has made it very expensive to reliably hedge against some uncertainties (which is necessary to prevent us from going bust in case of some unexpected circumstances). So I have had to put the project on hold, we will continue with expanding our mining operation but will not be opening it up for investments unless we are sure that it can be viable long-term. We have everything ready to go so if there is a possibility that this can be done in the future, we shall implement it

I'll contact the first two users who correctly guessed what the feature was to reward them their prizes. Sorry for hyping this up and then disappointing people who were waiting.

I'm super skeptical of any mining investment program. Bitcoin is far too volatile to to be able to guarantee any kind of return. The only way it's long term profitable it seems is if a pool operator collects his fees for running a pool from people who supply their own miners. The key breakdown point for me is always that if you have excess mining capacity that you are "renting" out, or allowing people to buy a share of, you either have to be losing money by doing so, or the mining power will never generate the principle amount of the investment, otherwise you'll have lost money by offering it as an option. It doesn't make any sense to me that someone would rent out mining capacity or "profit share" something they already own that would end up reducing their income over the long run. Also, Bitcoin mining is far too competitive to be able to guarantee an 8-10% return, even if standardized by denominating in btc.

Profitability all depends on the price paid for electricity. Returns of up to 40% p.a. are possible if the price of electricity is low enough. If such returns could be generated, it would make sense to raise investments and pay 8-10% on them and make a 30% profit even after doing that. Long-term I had plans of investing in a small solar farm just for the purpose of mining since solar prices are falling rapidly and having zero-cost electricity would keep miners profitable for a lot longer than even the cheapest electricity.

That's a bummer. It would be a great addition. But how could you possibly guarantee a fixed 8%-10% return? You would expose yourself to a high risk, as you cannot possibly know what the difficulty will be like in the future and whether your hardware will still be efficient etc.


I'll contact the first two users who correctly guessed what the feature was to reward them their prizes. Sorry for hyping this up and then disappointing people who were waiting.

Who are those lucky 2?

The first one?

minning


Ignoring misspelling, that's a bit general answer, could cover anything from selling mining hardware to cpu altcoin mining software (or even mining pool etc). Would you count this?

Other guy was more accurate:

Cloud-online mining client / website

But he broke the rules by making 3 guesses within 24h frame.

I believe I was next:
I'll give a clue - it's something that has required significant monetary investment on my part (I'm talking 5 figures US$) before I can offer it to users. I'll reset the 24 hr limit for the users who posted before. You guys can guess again.

I don't think it's very likely, but the only thing I can come up with (since it's not leaderboard or loyalty points or shares in profit) is cloudmining (Bitcoin, or altcoins), in which users earn (dilutive?) shares for every roll/referral roll/dice wager.

Did I win?


Sorry, I cannot reveal the exact method that we were planning to use to guarantee returns as it is a pretty big competitive advantage that we have which others don't and we may yet implement this in the future.

The winners are Bigmann23 and pawel7777! Please pm me your freebitco.in user ids for the prize.

Hi everyone,

I have a question. I owned an internet cafe and I have 2 referrals who are my customers.
Is it okay if we use the same IP address? Or we will be banned for using only one IP address?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks.  Cool

I actually have my own experience regarding that. So I introduce two of my friends to freebitco (unfortunately one didn't interested that much and stopped claiming after few claims) using same wifi. And whenever one had claimed, then the other (lets say it's me) can't claim at the same time because on my browser the countdown had started with the exactly same time as my friend claimed. So I think it is safe to say that they only allow one IP per claim per hour. Unless you do other verification. I know there were a writing about having an exception (i.e. two claims for the same IP) but I forgot how

If both users verify their mobile numbers, they can both claim from the same IP. However, this isn't free it costs about $0.15 worth in bitcoin.

Yea, where is this function? I have a household of 5 people and we share 1 router. So we only use 1 account for everyone, which is impractical. We can sit in front of the television with our tablet and notebooks and connect via the same Wifi connection and play with the multiplier. It will also increase our chances in the lottery and to win with the Free rolls. Please give some more information, I do not mind paying some extra fee, if the whole family can share in the fun.  ^smile^

I can even sign up the secretaries at work, where we go via one router too for internet access. The 1 x IP limitation blocked new membership in my opinion, but I can see why it was done.

You should be able to see the link to verify your phone when you get the message "someone has already played from this IP". Previously the verification link was also available in the profile page when verifications were free. Let me know if you are unable to see the link and I'll try to make it more visible.

What do you mean it costs $0.15 in btc? To confirm a mobile number with freebitco.in? Who does it cost to, you or the person confirming the number? This is the first I've heard of this, so I'm just wondering what exactly the expense is and why there is an expense.

It cost's us that to use the verification service (nexmo). Previously, when we had adsense we absorbed the cost ourselves but now it is passed on to the user. It is only needed if multiple people want to play from the same IP.

Hey wetsuit, any update or news on the touted announcement from awhile back? It's been a couple weeks since I asked last time. Figured I'd ask again since I haven't heard anything since then. No judgement, just excited for what it might be.

Sorry about the lack on updates on that, The price increase has created a couple of small issues that I am trying to find solutions to. Should be a few more days.

What happened::
I have bought about $1,500 worth of AWS codes from (Worldwide) in the past without any issues. This time, he asked me for 0.51873796 BTC to deliver an AWS code. After I paid, he said that he would not be able to deliver the code and asked me for an address to send the refund. I sent him an address (1NMQTkSAfWRWBJUff6nV1CP44HWP9iqQuR) but the refund never came. It has been over 48 hours, he usually replies within an hour or two.

I will delete this thread if he either gives me a refund or a code as promised. I believe I also have his real name and email address which I will also post if he does not settle in 48 hours from now. I will also be sending him a link to this thread.

I wonder what was behind the owners decision to remove many of the advertisers' banners
and the one present is very often empty for me
would not it be more profitable to fill up the rest of the slots?
if I understood correctly your hi/lo game brings you profit,but proper ads would not hurt
or am I wrong?

We decided to stop accetping ads for ponzis, fake gambling and MLM websites because people were losing money to such sites despite the warnings we show, since they somehow seemed to think that websites advertising on FreeBitco.in could be considered as "trusted".
