Now we getting nowhere with this discussion.  Grin

So for us to have the authentic experience with this, we have to revert back to fiat currencies.  Roll Eyes No, that cannot be the solution. Let's think outside of the box for a moment. We need to keep things digital and it must still be anonymous. Nobody should be able to go back after the evening and drop the receiving address into a block explorer and determine how much money these entertainers received.

A single Bitcoin address will also not work, because you need to determine how much every entertainer received individually.

C'mon people, there must be a good solution for this.

It's not fiat currency. The paper tokens would be denominated in BTC. Also, the venue would use a new address for every deposit and then mix the coins to provide anonymity to their customers and girls. It just simply that the method of payment goes through the venue and they pay the girls. That is a model that the owners definitely prefer.

The funniest thing about this is the referral link <http://freebitco.in/?r=1458506> he is advertising for the site. He wants to make a few Satoshis from other people, when he is taking with his bots. Wetsuit should follow his referral link and disable all his referrals and his account.

He did admit that he was one of the bots attacking Wetsuit's site.  Angry Oh, this site did have a charity option and people here donated 1000s of dollars to that charity.

That's what his 'botnet' is. He distributes his bot to his referrals via his youtube channel, they pay the captcha solve fees and he collects the referral income.

I haven't heard from wetsuit as he's really busy with other things right now but I suspect that is exactly what he has done.

We only removed the charity option because Save the Children stopped taking donations in Bitcoin.

Interesting for everyone to read through and see how the idea shifted from the original draft, where voting for posts and BTC were involved...

I remember being quite dismissive of the idea originally as I thought it would be unworkable. When I saw the implementation of what the idea turned into I immediately changed my mind. The gaining of sMerit for your merited posts and then that filtering down is really what makes it work.

Hi, my brothers account banned today.
He used to play free rolls using his mobile phone 17~18 times a day.
Can you fix it?

We block IP addresses when they are abused by multiple accounts and ban accounts if we think they are using a bot.

It is possible that some have been mistakenly identified so...

I've asked people complaining here to PM their User ID AND IP address so I can pass on to wetsuit to double check.

Then I think you mean Merits/Rank only, because Activity will be gained with time but it will not cause account to rank up.

I think you didn't understand what the subject of the conversation you quoted was. It had nothing to do with rank.

Can anyone say 100% if this is true?
I wasted all my 40k when they halfed and worked.  I will only waste my 20k now if it works for sure

No, it's not true, karu88 just can't read.

It is the amount wagered that counts towards increasing the rewards. We are just happy people play and happy when they win.


we understand you need the web to be sustainable.  We are just saying that if someone is playing every 1h and 1 minute 7 times a day thats a bot.  I mean we say that we appreciate the effort but there should be a way to do it without affecting so few bots.  Tx for your pacience

We have had people that set an alarm and get up every hour to claim 24 times a day for 5 days solid. There is a lot more than how often someone plays that goes into working out who is using a bot.
3949  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: FreeBitco.in - Win free Bitcoins every hour! on: April 29, 2018, 09:04:45 AM
can you tell the bots from real?
I understand you perfectly, but real users suffer from your mistakes. in another topic I wrote that you did a good job - I was wrong, people have problems because of the innovations that do not work properly. screenshot of errors in the browser  https://prnt.sc/jbiyb2

He restricted the use of RP to make it unprofitable to bot. Innocent parties were also affected by that and we had so many complaints he decided to find another way of dealing with it. I haven't heard from him yet as he is away and busy with something else right now so I can only guess what is happening. But my guess would be he has come up with some way of determining what is a bot and has then banned them. Again some innocent people may have been incorrectly identified as bots. I've asked people complaining here to PM their User ID AND IP address so I can pass on to wetsuit to double check. Interestingly only one person has done that so far and that isn't even someone who has posted in the threads.
This collateral damage is regrettable but the blame for it can only be put upon the bot users.

very funny)) again showed their greed, blocked the accounts and the type of real users

How do you know it is a real user? You're pretty full of yourself, but you're petty small time botter compared to what we deal with every day.
3951  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin has it's limitations. NSFW <Just a little bit of humor> on: April 29, 2018, 08:31:56 AM
Yeah throwing paper wallets might be a good idea but you can't be sure the customer won't use first the funds and then throw a worthless piece of paper. Maybe multisig would help here.....
Also you can't be sure that the customer won't come with a bunch of fake notes and throw them around.
Nobody is going to check real time if those are genuine.

They could use a system like I remember from many years ago from Stringfellows in London. They issued their own currency notes where 1 Stringfellows pound = 1 GBP. The notes could be obtained at the bar using a credit card and only spent in the venue. If they did the same thing you could go to the bar and pay in Bitcoin for a wad of vouchers that can only be redeemed by the girls at the end of their shift. The whole temporary QR code tattoo on the arse thing was obviously designed to create some free publicity.

Edit: I'm pretty sure I still have a Stringfellows £10 note hidden away somewhere.

Did admin theymos decided personally to implement merit? I mean is he the only one who want it to be added or we have a jury?


-
Educate me please don't belittle me. Thank you Cheesy

theymos put the idea forward for discussion in this thread. Ideas for improving post quality?

Ultimately, of course, it was his decision to implement his idea after listening to the various opinions offered.

3953  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: FreeBitco.in - Win free Bitcoins every hour! on: April 29, 2018, 07:32:02 AM
Disable reward points, blocked ip and accounts. What next?? Will you disable free roll??
Goodbye freebitco.in

IP addresses are usually banned because they have been abused. Are you using multiple accounts or a bot?

true, the focus of this site was on being a faucet with a side of dice, that is why the house edge of it is higher too. which meant google ads and they also use to have banner ad space on their website for people to place their advertisement there. but it was removed shortly after the google thing, and from then the focus shifted to becoming a dice site and all the rest of the additions such as investment, mining, lottery,...

Although I've only been working for them for 1 month I have been using the site since the 1st week it started. When it was launched it was entirely funded by the adverts and briefly the dice game was 0% house edge. Within a couple of weeks the bots turned up to exploit it and the house edge was added to combat that. Since then it has always been a dice site and faucet rather than just a faucet. After Adsense went there was a period when advertising was both sold directly through the site and using other advert networks (Mellow Ads Etc.). Those ads didn't bring in much revenue and were either quite scammy (HYIP, cloud mining) and/or garish distracting ads that didn't give a good impression of the site.

Of course, the faucet is there to attract new customers to the dice game. The only thing that really distinguishes it from other gambling sites is that they only allow you to claim their faucet when your balance is zero and then you have to try and gamble it up to the minimum withdrawal amount. Whereas we allow you just to keep on claiming and never gamble at all if you want to. That works fine unless large numbers come along all using bots to maximise what they can get from the faucet. That takes a disproportionate amount of the faucet budget and means there is less for legitimate users. The part that probably isn't so widely understood is that the bots pay for captcha solving services, so if that is cheaper than what they can get from the faucet then there is a huge profit in running a large botnet. All the changes we make are to try and make things unprofitable for them. Unfortunately, that also makes it harder for legitimate users to profit from the faucet alone.



Grin Grin Grin I appreciated the joke. now blocked all ISP addresses
good job)

I haven't heard anything from wetsuit as he's busy with personal matters at the moment. It was nice of you to self-identify as a bot abuser and I personally will be very pleased if your network of bot using friends have been banned.
 

3955  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: FreeBitco.in - Win free Bitcoins every hour! on: April 29, 2018, 05:28:27 AM
Are you guys all using the same IP address?

We only block IP addresses when they are abused by multiple accounts. Some ISPs use shared IP addresses or reallocate dynamic IP addresses. Try rebooting your router and if that doesn't help PM me your IP address as well as your user ID and I'll ask wetsuit to take a look and see why it was banned.

That’s the best thing about real casinos, you can take your money and run at any time.  It’s pretty telling when an online gambling site is afraid to let the users take the money on their own terms.

The only thing it is telling is that they have a faucet. Those 'real' casinos don't let people come in with no money and then give them some to try it out. Without a minimum withdrawal the faucet would be abused.

When you say 'swap' do you mean exchange as in buy or sell one for the other? If so that's the plan.

Yeah, that's what I meant : a kind of instant conversion from one coin to another

That's the main addition to the site, providing an instant exchange. Bcash, ETH, Doge and then maybe others as well.

Any news about this announcement !!!

Sorry about the delay in payments the last few days, we had a few users making large withdrawals which drained our hot wallets and created a backlog in sending payments out. We have a better hot-wallet refill policy in place now which should hopefully minimize such issues in the future.

A few points to clarify the re-branding:

  • The re-branding and addition of new coins will not happen suddenly, it will be done over a period of a few months and we shall send 3 emails over this time so that pretty much all of our users are aware before the name change.
  • We have the freebitco.in name registered until 2025 so even after the name change, all freebitco.in links will work as usual (no need to change banner or referral links etc.) and everyone visiting freebitco.in will be seamlessly directed to the new website with a message informing them of the re-brand.
  • All coins will have all of the features that bitcoin has but I am yet undecided about the lottery (maybe it will be a combined one with the prize paid out in the currency of the users choice)
  • Users will be able to claim only 1 coin every hour to begin with but hopefully I can increase the limits eventually.

The re-brand is part of a process to make freebitco.in more than just a faucet. My plan is to implement a no-KYC shapeshift.io style exchange after the rebrand to enable users to exchange between coins instantly. I feel like we have outgrown the freebitco.in name and the rebrand will allow us to do a lot more stuff without people associating the website with being just a faucet which somewhat restricts our growth now.
And let me suggest this : adding swap option ( Eth <=> BTC ) would be appreciated , right ??

When you say 'swap' do you mean exchange as in buy or sell one for the other? If so that's the plan.

Let's take the tipping of strippers for instance. Can you imagine a future where strippers have to wear some garment with a QR code with their Bitcoin address for the customers to tip her/him.  Huh < If they go full Monty, then they will have to tattoo the QR code onto their body? >

You don't need to imagine the future, just take a trip To Las Vegas right now.

According to historical data, the stock market bears in May for most years.

This sort of analysis is very common on the stock market. 'Santa Claus Rally', 'Sell in May and go away' and other sayings get repeated every year but in reality, any backtesting of the data shows that it would have been impossible to make a profitable strategy from them.

I'm also less than convinced about any correlation between the stock markets and crypto. The crypto markets being much smaller are more susceptible to large swings on very small pieces of news. So basing any analysis on past data is even less reliable than in stocks.
