Ok, let's go:
I posted on this thread in July 2025, telling my experience with freebitcoin'delay of 5 days. 10-year-user here.
I told you all I got paid in 4 to 5 days last time, in july 2025.
But this time, on 31 July, I demanded a withdraw of 0.005.
It is August 6, and for the first time, the delay record was broken for me: 5 complete days. Nothing came yet.
By searching on X and the original post from freebitcoin staff here (they stopped interacting +/-2 years ago) -
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=320959.34040 — in the recent posts, the new reality is this:
I have an important question:
How is your account secured that you’re still receiving payments? Is it just with email confirmation, or do you have 2FA enabled?
Regarding the second part of your message:
I don’t think people would rush to pull out their funds if Freebitco.in gave a proper explanation. People are only withdrawing because the team is completely silent.
Personally, I’d even be willing to leave some of my funds there and help support them — if that would help them get back on their feet. But unfortunately, when they can’t even say, “Sorry, we’re having issues. Can you accept partial payouts? Can we work something out?” — then what exactly are they expecting?
So, Lunil:
I recieved ther last payment last month. It took, almost, 5 days, but they paid. I use another website to convert it to real dollars into my bank account.
My company got broke so i was living from with freebitcoin interests. That's how I am feeding my family right now in this terrible crisis.
I use 2FA for years — it's insane if you don't protect your funds, depending only on a password.
Any broswer extension could steal bitcoins from you if you don't use 2FA. By this time, almost EVERY web browser is using your local GPU to farm crypto / AI power. Everything is a SCAM now. We live in a DISTOPIA and people pretend that the world before the pandemic still exists.
The second part: I totally agred with your point, but one thing is your ethical opinial, another is reality: humans are motivated by FEAR.
If frebitcoin tells that they were hacked and have no funds, people would freak out and it only needs ONE to phisically attack the company, or make it go to court and they would be in jail for the rest of their lives.
So that's why they keep slient, pretending nothing happened. It's STRATEGIC because MOST people (except you, me and a few others) would PANIC THE HELL OUT OF THEM.
That's why they are silent.
I'll keep posting here talking about how many days they will take to process my withdraw made in july 31.
What I read is that some people got paid today (august 6) but they requested withdraw many days ago (15 to 16 days).
So the real normal is: 16 days of delay.
But if I get the payment, I will let you know here and tell how many days they took.
