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. you are the owner and its up to you to decide but from the marketing point of view it is counterproductive to rebrand this way you have a recognisable brand,it is one of the best names imaginable to draw the new clients in you think the market of the faucets is long gone? let me agree to differ,with the adoption speed increasing,literally daily there will be unlimited pool of new people who would want to try their hand at this new bitcoin thingy and there is nothing better than "try first,buy later model" ,also you can have an unlimited number of services at your site and position your site as a bitcoin portal where you can earn free bitcoins by claiming them every hour,winning,saving,trading etc. etc. not even talking about SEO and rankings,it will take months if not years to get your new domain into top 100 for certain key word searches but I'm sure your Google stats will show you how many search engine visitors you are getting daily tl:dr redirect freebitcoin domain to the new one is a waste,I hope you reconsider I agree with veleten. The vast majority of people who google "free bitcoin" and get your site, freebitco.in, as one of the top results (in fact for me it is the top result after ADs which I normally ignore) will not like the redirecting because it always feels suspicious when you are redirected to somewhere. Taking into account that 99.9% of them never read this forum they have from little to no chance to know that there's nothing wrong with the redirecting and that it isn't in fact some kind of a malicious redirection. If you feel like you have outgrown the freebitco.in as we know it and that you have the ability to create a no-KYC exchange that's great and I sincerely wish you good luck in getting that paid off, but I think it's better to reconsider the idea of redirecting. IMO you can keep freebitco.in the way it is while placing banners and information about your new business on the frontpage of this popular site.

@wetsuit, I appreciate your answer, but still, I don't think that re-branding are really necessary.Users veleten and Betwrong above said main reasons why you should keep same name, I can't say better. Idea of no-KYC exchange sounds interesting. Microwallet services like Faucethub and Coinpot already have their own exchanges and I like them. When your website will become multi-currency, exchange will be also needed. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) And also, one question to my mind came recently. I have an account on freebitco.in and freedoge.co.in. on both accounts I have lot of referrals. After freebitco.in and freedoge.co.in will be combined with Crypteer.com, does it means that I will have 2 different Crypteer accounts? Will it be possible to merge these accounts?

@Myfe and Wetsuit : your idea of a non-KYC exchange is very good, but aren't you afraid authorities of many countries ask for a ban at a time governments are trying to control cryptomoney exchanges? I understand the name change, but you'll have to explain it everywhere, on the website, here and by mail so that every user knows what happens if he is redirected towards another website.

Based on my knowledge of a popular site no need to worry much about site SEO because they already have so many regular visitors to the site. They already advertising their site in google as well and their current domain will be still available for new few years which is good enough for them to build a new site SEO. I too don't like changing name but for some reason, admin wants new name.

fun fact about withdrawal: since bitcoin transaction fees have dropped significantly for the past 2+ weeks it no longer costs as much to make a transaction. for the past couple of days I have been checking the website withdrawal fees and it seems like it is a lot cheaper to make an instant withdrawal instead of weekly automatic one ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) current rates: Automatic (weekly): 3000 satoshi Instant (~15 Minutes): 821 satoshi Slow (6-24 Hours): 193 satoshi

Maybe they forgot to update weekly withdrawal fee. But if they don't update by next weekend it is better either disable weekly withdrawal or you manually withdraw all your coins. Otherwise, you may lose some coins for paying extra transaction fees in weekly withdrawal option.

The other withdrawal fees are dynamic and the weekly is static. Do I remember correctly that they said they were going to remove the weekly withdrawal feature altogether?

The other withdrawal fees are dynamic and the weekly is static. Do I remember correctly that they said they were going to remove the weekly withdrawal feature altogether? weekly payments are basically a bigger batch of transactions paying a lot more users than the other withdrawal options. and it does it on the weekends which used to be less traffic on bitcoin network. in fact many services used weekends to batch transactions and get rid of a lot of dust with low fees. for example these are latest transactions from the STATS page: https://blockchain.info/tx/2b9dbded8bf22643fb10f1a5d6b2db06a7f8e967c47b405ac93169e0e989b01dhttps://blockchain.info/tx/395b96920fd8b3168ddb05a097d45e7bff9394dc9f6dbe83fbf120791c5ab77ethey are basically paying 1 person at a time with instant withdrawals.

How are you going to keep spending your time with just their free rolls, I do not know how to say it to you but this is not gonna work, unless you make any deposit here and try to put some of your money to the lottery will be better rather than wasting your time get their faucet to put on their lottery game. For you it is okay but not for them, I still never saw anyone can win only just from claiming faucet

For you it is okay but not for them, I still never saw anyone can win only just from claiming faucet I do not why you suggest him to deposit and put the money on the lottery. For me, as per my understanding on the post quoted above is that he is only chasing for the biggest prize on the freeroll because he mentioning about $200. As I remember, there were some people confirmed that they won the biggest prize on the faucet and there are also some lucky winners on lottery with few tickets only. I believe those lucky winners with few tickets were claiming faucet only.

I think fees are only cheaper when you do a SegWit to SegWit transaction. ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) Most of the people using this site has most probably not changed to SegWit addresses. A lot of the Signature campaign managers have been asking people to change to SegWit addresses and I think it might be time for big sites like this to do the same. {give a incentive bonus for the people who have done that} ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif)

I think fees are only cheaper when you do a SegWit to SegWit transaction. That's incorrect. Using Segwit to send gives a discount on the weight (virtual size) of the input scripts of the transaction so it will be smaller regardless of whether the output addresses are legacy or Segwit. There is also a very small additional saving if using a bech32 address as it takes a few bites less but that is a minor saving.

I believe there are many users who have used this site to play the free rolls more than 2 years and most of them have not even hit the second prize yet, I have been hoping to win the lottery by depositing some bitcoin from time to time, but luck is always not on my side.

I suggest don't waste your money to buy lotteries from this site because it is not so easy to win a lottery. If you're really lucky then you will win a lottery just from the free money site is providing. But if your unlucky then even you buy millions of lotteries still you can't win. I'm also buying few lotteries every week from a free money but never win so far and I never spend my money to buy these lotteries.

Biggest prize is 1/20000 actually, as explained earlier in this thread, because the result is rounded, so any number in ]9999:9999,5] range will give 9999 and not 10000. Only numbers in ]9999,5:10000] interval will be rounded to 10000, and this interval is 1/20000 of [0:10000] interval.
