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.

Thanks for the clarifications wetsuit! I am looking forward to this change and I am sure it will a great success!

@Kprawn, they will add dogecoin, ethereum and monero, which are not exactly shitcoins. And if they put an exchange in place, than there is no problem if you win the lottery in dogecoins.

DogeCoin { https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/dogecoin/ } in my opinion is still a Shitcoin. It has been around for years

and not showing that it is going somewhere very soon. Ethereum is showing some promise, but I do not trust Vitalik and

his founder buddies. Monero is largely used in the Dark web for shady dealings. {again my opinion} .... and you might

expect some resistance from governments against coins like that. {This includes Dash} .... The biggest problem is not

with the Shitcoins... more with the inconvenience to manage several of them. {This is why a exchange in the site is

crucial to the success of this} Roll Eyes

Okay, doge might not be the best example of a "good" altcoin, although it has some nice features. Key will indeed be a good working exchange, because as you say creating wallets for all coins, maintaining them and keeping them safe is sometimes a pain in the ass.
