Hi,
Yes, that account was created years ago through my referral. I gifted the account to my sister so she could do some clicking, and sometimes I did it myself when I happened to be online. I used both my phone and laptop, sometimes with a VPN on, sometimes without. I also had a static IP, so it might have looked like I had multiple accounts. I didn’t really think about it possibly being bannable – it just slipped my mind.
It only takes a few seconds for someone to create their own account. I don’t understand why you would need to gift an account to someone else. Regardless of if this is true, the part where you were also claiming from your supposed sister’s account is obvious multi-accounting.
I doubt that's the reason. Back in UNI, a lot of people were farming FBC, and we only had one public IP, so it was like dozens accounts playing all day long. And no one got banned, no one got a a warning, we all withdrew massive amounts of BTC. So yeah, i don't know if i buy the "sister" story. I'm more incline to think it was some sort of referral scheme he was doing
The way FreeBitco.in works only allows one claim per IP address regardless of how many accounts you use. Even if everyone used a VPN to bypass the IP restrictions, it seems implausible that a few dozen accounts farmed the site for massive amounts of BTC. If it was so simple the site would have been bankrupt long ago. I guess it depends what is meant by massive. Scamming them for 1 full BTC would be a lot today if you held on to it, but when the site started was only a few hundred dollars.
