And yes, there are a few primdice owners (for example) who have given out their full names before now. Why can't wetsuit do the same, what's he in fear of?
It would be considered more trustworthy as a site if you both offered your full identities.
It is not something I have or will ask wetsuit as I think if he didn't want to be anonymous he wouldn't be. From a personal perspective, I use services like ChipMixer so that nobody knows how much Bitcoin I have. If you own a site holding over 1200 BTC just in user deposits that isn't an option. Do a Google news search on 'bitcoin kidnapping". How much does wetsuit have, this says ~300 BTC: https://www.blockchain.com/en/btc/address/1Fu3iBR2EMQWeYGi3XvrPmcPUkne8ZWj9hAnd if you properly encrypt stuff and keep it secure enough then it shouldn't cause too much of an issue. I'm fairly sure coinbase filed their UK tax return a few years ago and claimed to hold £3000000. If you secure your money well enough then you're fine. |

I would suggest charging after a number of accounts register per IP.
If we say that there can be 2 accounts per IP made per month, if anohter account is made (or 2 unmerited accounts are open on that IP) the user of those accounts must buy a copper membership/pay 0.001BTC to create their next account. That would probably work better than limiting everything in a more general sense (it might still increase the number of sales of newbie accounts and brand new accounts though).
I can get a new IP just by restarting my modem since it is dynamically allocated. This will not stop spammers, somebody who wants to have multiple accounts around here will easily find a way to bypass this. And in some cases, it will just backfire, denying a free registration to a guy that is innocent. The Tor restrictions kind of already do the second though? And yes, dchp ISPs do sort of ruin the principal. |

I would have dumped a lot more coins into Freebitco.in if I knew what I was dealing with and if I could have explained that income to my local tax authorities.  I don't see why that should be a problem, just declare the interest if you need to under your local legislation. Literally the only way I could do that is to come to the British Virgin Islands  !

I like the government with friendly regulations and friendly tax concepts, that one made me chuckle. |

This site does NOT pay it's taxes, is not licensed or registered ANYWHERE, and could very well be shut down at any time (either forcefully by some law enforcement/govt agency or wetsuit just exit scamming) and along with it any BTC you've deposited. Isnt that just cool  You should just send me your BTC instead. It's safer that way because I wont use it to fund stupid liberal idealistic crap like a govt would do. As I said just padded out a bit. The legal non-tax payers go to places closer to the UK. And they probably won't be forceably shut down as it's too expensive for the government to do. |

Finally, I created I BIP39 seed with another wallet on an offline device and restored this wallet in electrum.
Now I know that I can easily restore my wallet because BIP39 seed is very common and it's supported by almost all wallets.
You could've just made a regular seed with electrum and use a BIP39/BIP44 derivation path though? Anyway, it's good that your potential issue is solved now. |

The original bitcoin wallet gives you a notification. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.schildbach.walletWhenever you get an incoming transaction that gets confirmed, it sends you a notification. It's worth noting you have to not have a "storage space insufficient" error for the app to function as it has to download block headers, and it connects to bitcoin mining servers directly. |

It's not being abandoned, just when we rebrand it will no longer be in the name. That's about getting away from the perception that we are just a faucet.
By the way, any news about rebranding. I remember it was planned in July or something similar, but now I suspect that it will not happen this summer? And I got email message about reward points bonus and I noticed this thing at the bottom of message FreeBitco.in, 3rd Floor, J and C Building, PO Box 933, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands So, this means that Freebitco.in now registered as official company? Probably not. There are probably minimal laws and minimal enforcement there (however, they are sending out their location so maybe). The British Virgin Islands are one of the places Britons use for legal tax evasion (probably what this site is doing also). |

The problem is that this is all just one client trying to connect, so I guess the connection is cutting out and it keeps making a new socket assignment?
I guess so. How did you get that information up from the command line (what command did you run)? |

Why does the percentage towards the next level bonus go down when you use the hourly free spin? Also, what causes the bonus added to every win to drop?
Thanks to jackg & Thirdspace for correctly answering your questions.
I know you answered me sometimes here but are you among owners of freebitco? Or just support here?
Btw you may don't know but in old good days, even banks were promoting your website, this means you have trust in people.
You really pay low compared to old times but somehow no one considers the fact that bitcoin's price is high, more than 10x high. Low house edge would be better but I understand, being faucet and dice at the same time with 1% house edge is very unprofitable for website, however others can't understand it.
Wish you success, would love to see new and strong freebitco like it was some years ago.
I'm just support, wetsuit is the owner. Thanks for your kind words.
Oh please. Stop with that... You either want to give to charity or you do not want to give to charity.
At the time Save the Children removed the Bitcoin donation it was not possible for us to continue accepting donations we couldn't pass on. So few of our customers used the facility that we see no point on reinstating it now they are accepting Bitcoin donations again. There is nothing to stop you or any other customer donating to them directly if you feel that strongly about it. So it never crossed their minds to consider another charity that did accept bitcoins or to ask people if they had suggestions for another charity? This site have the potential to do a lot of good and to stand out from the rest of the sites that are offering a similar service. Unfortunately you cannot face the fire for decisions that are made by "management", so I will not direct my frustration with this decision, towards you. I think it is a bad decision to abandon the "FREE" concept, linked to this site. The foundation of this site was built on that concept and one of the reasons why it succeed this long.  Edit : Donating via this site was a One-Stop solution. It just made it easier for people who did not know about this. You're sort of gambling with people's lives though or something if you say "all my gambling profits today will be donated to x". Just one option for a charity is a bad idea, and why can't you convert Bitcoin to Fiat and do a bank transfer? The "free" concept is used to attract users and should be expanded on with the other parts of the site. |

One more question. This is a shot without any rewards enabled. Which number on there is going to change to 1,000x higher when I enable the reward? https://imgur.com/gallery/P0aXPu51. The base bet increases 2. It increases by 10x/1000% not 1000x |

Did it finally show up?
Since the transaction as been included into a block properly there are bascially 3 options in this scenario:
1) The recipient has an outdated version / no connection to the network
2) The address does not belong to the recipient (maybe he sent you the wrong address or you copied it wrong; maybe clipping malware?)
3) The person you are dealing with just scammed you.
no..not yet. It is not solved on the 15th day. When I contacted the free wallet side of the receiving wallet company, I was told that the transaction did not reflect the transaction even though the transaction ID was approved. I do not understand. Is there a bit coin evaporating? if I post a photo of my wallet would that help? What is the exchange? You could probably do with going to the scam accusations section and post a complaint there with all the evidence you have |

Firstly I want to mention that it needs almost 0 extra work, you described everything very exaggeratedly.
May be technically I am wrong but not sure if you are right too. We both don't know the code structure of SMF so actually non of us can give the correct answer. There'll be a button on the admin panel and probably a few checkboxes that Theymos/Cyrus will have to click but probably not much more than that. |

I had an issue with 3.2.x when I was trying to get my wallet to work, it worked with 3.2.2 though. Try 3.2.3 and see if that works (downloading from electrum.org/#download or cloning the github repo).

Looks fine to me, the port is supposed to change as far as I know.
You're hosting a server, you need to be able to accept multiple connections in parallel across your network, therefore your electrum server is assigning each electrum client it's own socket (IP:Port) in this case, the port is just changing so that stuff doesn't get confused.

When I click on the address and copy it, when I stick it I give the address 13D6FEsc8oJ4ynJD7hL52CM1GPzKp8YZh4, although on request is another. Is this a virus?
Yes. You should either run several virus scanners (bitdefender, malwarebytes) and malware removal utilities (like spybot, malwarebytes etc) or... format your computer and reinstall the Operating System. Personally, I'd recommend the format+reinstall method. If your computer is infected with the clipboard hijacker, it's possible it also has keyloggers (can harvest usernames/passwords etc) and possibly even Remote Access Tools (RATs) that could allow hackers to copy files directly from your computer. So, you should consider your computer totally compromised and avoid doing any "sensitive" work on it (accessing internet banking or other secure websites etc) I wouldn't even bother with a virus scan at this point. Reinstall the OS completely and format your drive. Then remember to use an antivirus on it - if you want to recover from a backup, scan that backup for viruses also (most av scanners will be able to scan ISO/vhd/zip files) although I'd suggest dong the scan on the media on a different device. |

Trust should not have any bearing on your perception of the person posting. It's only natural to see a trust rating, and assume that the person is talking bollocks or aren't worth listening to if they have a negative rating. In reality this isn't the case.
On the other side it sometimes helps distinguish trolls and people you shouldn't waste your time with. I've previously seen people 'talking bollocks' in Bitcoin Discussion and wasted my time trying to engage them and then when you then see their profile and it's littered with red you suddenly realise they're a troll and that's all their account is good for now. I'm not saying that trust should be shown everywhere, but I get the reasoning why it's not shown because it will effect how you perceive that person (though sometimes knowing their 'true colours' can be helpful). Why doesn't merit work to distinguish this though? I'm not sure how it would. If they don't have any merit therefore they're a troll? I mean if someone has an activity score of 280 and no merit, you can probably safely assume their post isn't going to be of great use. There will be a copuld of anomalies but it should work? After all, the merit system was made to combat trolls and spammers. Someone with only 14 activity won't have much merit (obviously) but also might not have been spotted for being a troll. |

I believe this thread would have been more effective with a poll!   I was going to say he should have put a poll on with only two options: Should we remove polls?*Yes *Yes Removing polls from everywhere is just stupid. There are some places where it is good. It's called a joke.  Well no one gets it when I make them so I thought that's not something we do around here anymore. |

Just wondering, why on DVD? Isn't it easier /faster/ to put the ISO on a USB instead.
Back in the day there was one option called WUBI Windows-based Ubuntu Installer or something, you could install Ubuntu trough windows installer, it does everything for you and makes it a dual boot machine, you can uninstall it pretty easy too, but I think this option was discontinued after the Natty Narwhal version that came with Unity instead of GNOME as a default shell.
It would be faster to use a flash drive, but I have 50+ DVDs sitting there so why not? And the DVDs are more likely to corrupt so you can verify that the information has copied across more easily. I have a copy of wubi (which also didn't seem to work). |

It's going to be an exchange to compete with those made for trading. Although everything is still in the planning stage wetsuit said he intended it to .be an alternative to something like Shapeshift. Just the ability to switch from one coin to the other. The advantage will be for small amounts you will not have the hefty withdrawal fees that most exchanges charge.
It would be quite nice if it was similar to shapeshift, maybe offer people a chance to make buy/sell orders before transactions go through mihgt reduce the charge to you in case a coin immediately drops by 50% or something. As I've seen, if you charge something between 0.02-0.5% then it's not too much different to the value of the buy/sell orders as there's just a usual fluctuation between exchanges that could add that rate - unless you get a really high volume. |
