..shake the tree, and ye shall receive..

people are gonna always make up their own minds, but ask yourself this..
Do you have trust - not just in FBC, not just in BTC, but in crypto in general?
If not, then perhaps you are one that should exit Left. You use a bank card of any sort? You just doing 'Unen-Crypto', and still relying on someone else to make sure it goes through (your bank).

These guys have been doing it like this for a long time now, and people still keep signing up.
Bots are a different story, and maybe something to do with the whole 'captcha' thing.. Add all three (ReCaptcha, hCaptcha, solvemedia), and give the user NO CHOICE as to what they are gonna solve.. It will slow down the automated stuff significantly, and make benefits for a real user.
The only real way to get rid of the auto stuff, is to code your own.
One only has to do a quick google search, and there are plenty of auto captcha solvers available - 2captcha, deathbycaptcha, anticaptcha, just to name a few. Then there are the extensions - chrome has one for solving captchas in their own store! capsolver dot com do that one..

If you want to support crypto, then do it legit. Without the digital servant/s.
And the only way this crypto benefit will continue, is if we show our human proof.

.. shake the tree, be rid of all the bad apples, and ye shall prosper..

G'day, first post, so still working it all out.

I am just wondering if anyone knows the *true* status of expresscrypto.io.
Have they scammed, or will they come back online?
There are (I assume) many frustrated users, and faucet owners (like myself), looking for a simple clear answer..

For those who are interested, but do not yet know -
* Expresscrypto went down on 24th Dec due to a hardware failure.
* Their last update regarding the situation was January 4th, stating that 'Due to the holidays, there is no update from the (recovery) company.'

This is quite a serious situation, as stolen cryptos (or any type) should be a concern to anybody involved in the crypto world.

I personally would hope, that developers have the ability to Black Flag any crypto addresses that the owner (and Mods) of EC possess.
..but maybe that is just a dream from a small fish in a big pond.

There is plenty of speculation around this situation - one only has to *insert search engine of choice* Search to see what information is currently available. All the way down to the reviews that are starting to appear.

I had around 400-500 USD equivalent of various cryptos in EC - some in staking, some in saving, and some in my general wallet. I know there would be others who have more in there.

I feel that, if this type of thing continues to happen, then Cryptocurrency in its' entirety, is doomed to fail.

So, my specific questions are:
Does anybody TRULY know what is happening with expresscrypto, and is it going to come back online?

Regards.
