First, I did not use that dynamic IPs and did not record the address when I used it to test freebitco.in registration a few days ago
second, I am just like you, some time ago when your IP was blocked and TheQuin asked about your IP and you decided not to reveal it.
I'm just not comfortable when revealing my location
if my analysis is correct then maybe this also happens to many Dynamic ISPs and will cause a decrease in traffic to freebitco.in
but TheQuin was very sure of the system he designed, so maybe I was wrong
-----------------
@TheQuin
I have considered ISP with 150 million customers as a clue
As I said we don't block ISPs so I didn't research how many customers they have. The IP databases are not 100% accurate and sometimes when the database is updated an address range can be reclassified as a VPN, proxy or whatever. I try and only block ranges that are heavily abused rather than rely just on the classification. I respect all of our customers' privacy but I'm sure you understand I can't look into it without the IP address affected.
Thequin has given a fair reasoning there.
@garry, if you want to contact your isp to ask them to give you a new IP address then that might help you and mean you dont have to hand it over to thequin.
Otherwise, youll hav pe to give your IP address to thequin to try to remove you from the database.
@Jack
thank you for your attention Jack, but no
I am not a victim of the IP address blocking that TheQuin has done
I'm just trying to report the news around me that might impact my referrals.
I am not sure about how much this will affect my referrals. because as a user we are not given facilities for that. I only know that my income is decreasing.
I tried to see traffic to freebitco.in through a site like this:
https://www.similarweb.com/website/freebitco.inwe can see that the traffic has fallen by more than 50% in 2 months.
I dare not say that it was caused by a massive blocking carried out by TheQuin because it could also be caused by people's interest in bitcoin has declined.

@TheQuin
so you block IP addresses at a certain range
based on what I know, if the IP address that you block is the IP address of the Dynamic ISP, it will make thousands or millions
(depending on the range you block) of innocent IP addresses victimized because the workings of Dynamic IP addresses are random like the process of creating bitcoin addresses when randomizing the SHA-256 number as a raw private key.
That's if I don't misunderstand the word "range" that you mean.
