Presearch (PRE) - Decentralized Search Engine

[robelneo]

I have reached my 1000 token now I just want to see if this project is legit and paying so far in their channel all people are shouting they are not yet paid and admin are still verifying if their searches are legit, this is 6 months of waiting after the guy requested,

I have not read people posting here they have received their token even in their channel so it's up to readers to evaluate this project, they should have stated how many months or years before you get your token.

So well said. People are getting angry but Pre 'Community Manager' on this thread is keeping on saying 'The project is not giving out free money' , as you could read a few posts earlier... It's been months since they started to 'verify' accounts.

Maybe they are too busy to party for their 1st birthday 

They are not giving free money but they should prove that they are a legit project and what they are saying are all true, how can they gain trust from people if people will not post that they are indeed getting paid,all are just promise, I will not be surprised if we see this project in the scam section.

I am waiting for several months too.
They claim to have over 600,000 users.

The search results of presearch and google are the same. so, what are the advantages of using Presearch over Google?
Is the search history of the users sold for data analytics?

Good question : when reading first page on Pre Ann thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2004713.0) we can read : 'PreSearch is an open, decentralized search engine that rewards community members with Presearch Tokens for their usage , contribution to, and promotion of the platform.'

So, to me,tokens offer has been clearly put forward and used as an 'attraction product ' and today when you claim for it, you are told that presearch is not here to distribute free money. Money certainly not, but tokens yes.

As you can see, I still have not digested this answer that was made to me here.

Note also that faced with the dissatisfaction of users, my interlocutor does not even take the time to try to defend his project anymore ...

If i were 'Presearch' community manager, i would not appreciate to see 'legendary' or 'Sr member' starting to think about a scam.

To me there are two possibilities : either the intentions behind are not good, or team is not pro enough and is overwhelmed by influx of people attracted by the famous tokens.

So, this presearch thing is just another scam?

Ive got over 1000 tokens and never heard anything from presearch on how to withdrawthe tokens. Thought I would receive an email from the team describing how to withdraw my tokens.

[GrosWesh]

Maybe it's not a scam but till today it looks like .... I received that famous mail months ago, responded in minutes but never received anything...

Lot of people lived same experience and reputation of 'Presearch'  is well damaged at now 

[imnotu101]

well, im not gonna use presearch anymore before i can withdraw my first 1000 tokens.

Hey GrosWesh,

I'm the founder of Presearch and just came across your messages from late 2018.

Definitely not a good feeling to see people who are long-time members think that we are a scam.

Honestly, we did not think Presearch would take off as quickly as it did. We were shooting for 100k beta testers and wound up with 300k. We probably should have shut down new registrations, but thought that might make things even worse, so we've been pushing through the roll out of an automated anti-abuse system informed by our now-more-than-800k members.

The new system should really improve communication and expedite the withdrawal process for those who reach the minimum thresholds.

Feel free to DM me your Presearch login email (or via telegram using @colinpape) and I'll see if I can expedite things for you.

Otherwise, we're rolling out a new reward verification and withdrawal system shortly if you wanted to wait.

Thanks for your interest in the project, and for your patience and support as we get our act together.

Sincerely,

Colin

No, we do not collect or sell any information.

The only thing that's saved is the time of your searches so that we can provide token rewards for usage. Search terms are not seen or stored.

If you want to use Presearch totally anonymously and with zero tracking at all, the engine is available directly via https://engine.presearch.org.

By 'free money', what that person was referring to is people who come and use Presearch to just click a button to generate tokens.

The rewards are intended to incentivize people to switch to Presearch and actually search via the platform, not to treat it like an airdrop, faucet or other income generator.

The communication could have been better all around, and I really thought we were doing a better job on BitcoinTalk...

Will try to make it up to everyone and will definitely prove that this is not a scam.

Thanks for your patience and support in the meantime.

Hi,

I pretty much appreciate your message, especially when you admit communication could have been better on bitcointalk, because that's what i think too.

I understand lot of people have flocked to Presearch, as is did, and you got overwhelmed but it does not explain why you sent mails to people (like i received) in july to announce they were free to claim their pre NOW and 6 months later lot of them (still including me) they got....nothing...

I have to admit i personally, like many, voluntarily performed a lot of research at the very beginning then I stopped and went to normal use ... Much later YOU allowed me to withdraw, I did not ask anything. SO I made the request of a withdraw upon receipt of the mail and we know the rest (nothing received). At today (and since a few weeks), I almost no longer use presearch. It is possible that following this discussion, a renewal of faith  makes that I use it again but I admit to having been disappointed.

I'll get in touch with you.

Thanks for understanding, GrosWesh.

I appreciate your support and that you've invested your energy into Presearch. I'm sorry for the delays and for letting some of you down.

Looking forward to getting back on track with everyone.

Did you end up DMing me? Would love to assist and will look into why you got a message but had the delay.

Thank you for this, i'll come back to tell whether it's well arrived or not.

I hope you get paid, it's been a long wait.

[GrosWesh]

I hope you get paid, it's been a long wait.

Yep, ty ! I think so

Nearly four days i've asked for a withdraw, process is launched but ... i still got nothing  

Did you get yours, @ Warfare ?

Sorry for the delay. Just realized that approved withdrawals were sitting there because we've been running the process manually since the Ethereum upgrade - we turned off the process waiting for the upgrade to go live, and then when it was delayed our admin didn't turn it back on.

He'll be doing that shortly and you should see your tokens in your wallet in the next 2-3 hours.

Thanks for your patience and for contacting me!

Haha... something went wrong No problem, i'll wait ...

Should be on the way now. Please confirm when received. Thanks!

Also, I'm not sure who this is as a few people contacted me via Telegram... If you still didn't get them, hit me up on Telegram @colinpape.

[GrosWesh]

Received !

I have taken note of the great improvement in communication since you came in, and I will let know that around me. After all, it's one thing to be demanding/uncompromising when not satisfied, but I think when service is good, i have to admit it !

Thank you, and good luck!

Okay, great! Thanks, GrosWesh!

I appreciate the kind words and it's motivating to stay engaged with the community.

Really grateful for your patience and your positive approach.

Let me know if you have any other feedback while using Presearch.

Thanks again!

Colin
