Freebitcoin has put on hold

[Riginac111]

If you can see many people is inactive in bitcointalk since campaigns is being reducing in the forum, and another campaign freebitcoin has put on hold due the issues people experienced with their platform for withdrawal, do you think that without campaigns this forum will be active,  when you see people who removed avatar and signatures their involvement in the forum is very small compare like before, do you think that people will not leave forum as campaigns is reducing

Please I want to appeal to people continue making this place to be active and also ensure that we do the necessary things we to do, but campaigns reducing everyday should not make us to be distracted.

There's been an increasing number of concerns and reports about withdraws not going through on freebitcoin at the moment. I have requested TheQuin to give me an update or to post one publicly and until that happens I'm afraid I have to put this campaign on HOLD and would like to ask you all to remove your signatures and avatars for the time being. I am aware that a week has already begun and I will take care of you all regardless of the outcome.

I applaud you for this decision and also without delay putting this campaign on hold, without putting this campaign on hold that will raise more alarms, its better as you pause the campaign until the matter is being resolve.

I applaud the manager for caring about the users over caring about his pocket. I think everyone should be the same way who is managing a campaign, but that's not how it goes.

As far people leaving the forum, that's their choice. There are tons of companies out there still running campaigns, sig campaigns come and go. Users still need to stay active if they want to have a chance to join the next campaign that comes. Inactive accounts are normally passed up.

I don't think there is a need for an appeal. We registered on the forum with different motives and intentions. The forum will also be active, it may be reduced but will always be active.

I applaud you for this decision and also without delay putting this campaign on hold, without putting this campaign on hold that will raise more alarms, its better as you pause the campaign until the matter is being resolve.

Wait... I thought "Hold" and "Pause" are synonyms that are used interchangeably by different campaign managers based on their preference. If it is not, then someone should enlighten me. Thank you.

It's same meaning, but campaigns managers choose make use of anyone they like, when you put something on hold, it's means it's temporary and is same as pause, if you check too in signature campaign that put on hold none of come back again even the one that's on pause, is same thing.

Hey OP,
You should edit the subject-line of this topic to "Freebitcoin signature campaign has been put on hold".
I mean the faucet cum casino is still up and running but without the withdraw functionality .

campaigns reducing everyday should not make us to be distracted.

People do say "every good thing still has an end". This time it is not just with a campaign but the entire service itself.
At the same time, freebitco.in may come back and their campaign may resume but I am afraid that they may not regain their trust.

If it is not, then someone should enlighten me.

You are right; these terms have been used interchangeable. There were campaigns which were phased/held infinitely and I wish that is not the case here.

do you think that without campaigns this forum will be active,  when you see people who removed avatar and signatures their involvement in the forum is very small compare like before, do you think that people will not leave forum as campaigns is reducing.

Well depends but campaigns on forum will not perish as many companies still trust this site for traffics and views for crypto users especially on people doing gambling using crypto platform. It will be lessen since some are probably will left if theres not much campaign but it depends on them.

Truly Hhampuz is one of the best model as Signature campaign manager outstanding behaviour and truly concerns to users. I wish I could work with him again. We need more managers like that.

[JollyGood]

Some managers would have tried to rinse every last ounce of personal benefit or gain out of a campaign that was being hit with scam accusations but full credit to Hhampuz for taking steps to minimise impact at a very early stage.

Regarding members leaving the forum, I think that is simply overstating something that is a remote possibility. In the end, it is the income from signature campaigns that is keeping them here therefore they would rather wait and join another campaign rather than jump ship and migrate elsewhere. (Some might use the opportunity to join another forum whilst still remaining active here).

I applaud the manager for caring about the users over caring about his pocket. I think everyone should be the same way who is managing a campaign, but that's not how it goes.

I don't think this is worth making a topic fir especially in the reputation board. We can't make topics for every campaign that is on hold, that is totally unnecessary and I don't know what topics like this is intended to achieve. You can't beg people not to leave or join the forum, people must exercise their freedom of association as they will naturally be drawn to where they find value.

People leaving and staying in the forum is normal thing and happened even when there were several campaigns including mixers... as people are leaving, more people are joining as well. I understand that the ban of mixers and other privacy related project also contributed in the reduction of number of active participants here because there were people that came here due to their businesses that requires some form of anonymity which mixers provided.

Now that mixers are gone, we just have to make do with what we have while hoping that other avenues will open that will create more interest in the forum and bring more traffic here.

Hhampuz is known for his high reputation and diligence in his management,  and that is what makes him stands out among others, the fact that freebitco is a popular company makes is very urgent for all matters to be resolved and if there is no resolvement onsight from the company what any responsible person will do is to put on hold all marketing involving the said business so as not to lure new customers into becoming a victim of their recent abnormalities.

Decline in signature campaigns, from the forum will only have a temporary effect on the forum activities,  because with time, members of the forum will still fine the motivation and keep posting as normal,  all through my day on this forum, I noticed few users who are not wearing any signature but yet make posts on daily basis,  this shows that regardless of the limited signature,  active forum members will keep posting.

[Razmirraz]

I really applaud and raise ten fingers for Hhampuz because the way he managed the campaign was very professional, he immediately recommended all Freebitcoin participants to immediately delete their signatures and avatars after detecting problems that were occurring on sites promoted through paid Bitcoin signature campaigns.
When a campaign ends or is suspended, there is no guarantee that participants who have been advertising the campaign will immediately leave the forum. Each member has their own choice, I see that the participants who join the Freebitcoin signature campaign are predominantly established members in the forum, they have also contributed a lot to the forum, my assumption is that they will not leave the forum even if Freebitcoin is no longer continued.

[mindrust]

Hhampuz is one of the OG sig camp managers. He is always on the right side of history and he didn't surprise anyone once again. Freebitco.in has some issues but they can still fix their problems and restore their reputation. It is still not late to resolve their problems and hopefully they will soon.

I noticed there are many people who truly don't want this website to shut down and it is because freebitco.in gives away lots of free stuff unlike many other casinos. Their 4% passive interest might look insignificant to many people but in reality, you won't find many other alternatives where you can make crypto passively and be as reliable as freebitco.in.

I agree with you, there is enough bad news and FUD from some trolls. We should be careful and avoid creating panic otherwise the platform could fall for real at the end. I see people withdrawing all their funds, it's worrying tbh. They are issues since several months on this platform why creating a panic now, I'm not sure those problems are new. I made some withdrawals at the beginning of month and it took several days to be processed, in the same way as what we see currently.

[GeorgeJohn]

People who is inactive because theirs no campaign to participate is the people who is here basically because of campaign, even though their is no campaign I think the best thing to do is to ensure you contribute something meaningful to the community, it most necessarily mean that you will involve in signature before you participate well in forum, and again what will make you to be selected quickly in signature is when you are active, inactive user can't be selected when the opportunity comes, and we need to know that someone like @LoyceV and others has been active in forum over one year their campaign close, so the most important thing here is to obtain knowledge and also have objective.

There's been an increasing number of concerns and reports about withdraws not going through on freebitcoin at the moment. I have requested TheQuin to give me an update or to post one publicly and until that happens I'm afraid I have to put this campaign on HOLD and would like to ask you all to remove your signatures and avatars for the time being.

actually Hhampuz is a good manager from the onset and he doesn't be bias, it alway be focus and concentrate to his job, and that makes him to acquire more experience in signature campaign managerial function, so what he did is what he's supposed to do to maintain his reputation and trust to people that looks up to him.

For those that are interested, freebitco.in PR has posted an update explaining the reasons why there are problems on their website. They stated there is a backlog of mails and they are addressing the issue therefore at least they have alleviated concerns that this could have been heading towards an exit-scam.

I presume whether the signature campaign manages to become active again or not would depend on several factors but their announcement would probably bring confidence to people using their website.

[FinneysTrueVision]

From what I could tell, the campaign wallet had not been topped up in a couple months and funds were depleted after last week's payment. If this is the case, the campaign would’ve been paused anyway. If they decide they want to resume the campaign, they definitely need to provide answers and prove through their actions that they are resolving their issues. I still believe the problems they are facing are due to technical reasons rather than being insolvent or trying to scam their users. The lack of communication has only fueled speculation and conspiracy theories, so it is in their best interest to start doing damage control if they want to keep users from fleeing.

freebitco.in PR has made a clarification as I quoted below - but their trust page will still be a cause for concern among new and existing users who want to deposit money. Until all the problems are resolved properly - I guess the red tag will remain on as a warning to anyone who wants to deposit money.

Dear BTC Talk Community,

We are immensely grateful for the love and trust you have shown to FreeBitco.in. Recently, a mail backlog caused delays in withdrawals, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We are pleased to announce that all pending withdrawals have now been successfully processed.

The mail backlog is still ongoing but is slowly being cleared. We have also taken note of your concerns regarding our support services. To address this, we are actively identifying and onboarding new team members dedicated to enhancing our support and ensuring a smoother experience for all users.

Thank you for your continued support and patience.

Best regards,
The FreeBitco.in Team

The signature campaign will likely continue if Hhampuz feels everything is safe without too many concerns among users. After many long term campaign stopped promoting their project on forum - then I don't expect freebitcoin to be the latest because of the case. Things seem to be getting under control so far - but maybe not everything.

Is this topic need to exist at all?

A campaign manager decided to pause a campaign and it needs a thread to discuss.  

In Reputation, this one is enough for discussion about the business from payment processing, customer support to signature campaign.

It's like duplicating thread for discussion about only one business.

The only category of people I kind of think will be leaving the forum should we keep getting some of this companies leave the forum or go thin air are members that only came here because of the signature campaign that the forum gives opportunity to, and yes we came here because of various reasons well understood but the forum offer more and not only tied to the signature campaign alone , The knowledge we get here free of charge is indeed a huge one.

It will fall on deaf ears bro, I am sure that some people don't really care about this forum, I mean if you first asked about how many of us here have other forums to visit too, you'd be quite surprised that not a lot of them have any other forums to visit besides this forum and also your plea for people to stay doesn't really have any impact or influence, you're not a reputable user here in the forum so who's going to listen to you, not to mention that your trust is not looking so good.

Is this topic need to exist at all?

For OP probably a yes but I totally agree with your inquiry, I don't see the sense of this thread actually existing as this doesn't really make everyone care for the forum even if they don't have any campaigns.

[Gozie51]

As always, I commend hhampuz for for being proactive in decisions like this to see that his participants and followers are not cheated in their agreement to support whatever signature they are promoting. He has a very good reputation and he is protecting it.

That doesn't call for an appeal. I think the shortage of signature campaigns happen from time to time and after some time it gets back better except if this season is different but it is not what an appeal should be made on.

do you think that people will not leave forum as campaigns is reducing

I don't think such users are leaving but whatever happens, the forum is still here because Bitcoin/ crypto market and related issues get better analysis and attention from here and it keeps generating traffic for business owners and casinos.
