Your tokens will never unlock and they will delete them

Anyone that has given Presearch a positive review hasn't actually tried to receive their tokens. The tokens are locked until you reach a certain amount. That wouldn't be that bad except they keep lowering the amount you receive for searching, so it is never possible to reach the number to unlock them. If you don't use the search for a certain amount of time THEY DELETE ALL YOUR TOKENS.

I really liked the idea behind this project, so I was trying to support it. I used it for years, even though the search tools were inferior. It turns out it's just another crypto scam.

Presearch The decentralized search engine for the community

Presearch is revolutionizing the use of search engines by being the first on the path to decentralization, Users can participate within the ecosystem using Pre to run nodes, keywords, etc. It is a good alternative for big technologies that also protects user privacy and does not store any search information, In general aspects, they have made many changes recently to improve the user experience in terms of use, simple interface, as well as Android, iOS apps and extensions From browsers

Great Idea Poorly executed Misleading Product

I have been using Presearch from 2020 and experience is so far horrible.

First of all they use all kind of fancy terms to confuse users for using their platform (so that users cannot withdraw the PRE tokens)

Second even if users use their platform regularly they can never reach to their minimum withdrawal threshold. They need few years on a minimum to reach that point.

Third they never migrate to Layer 2 solutions like Matic or Binance Smart Chain, so that only limited number of users can withdraw their funds and yes users have to pay the Ethereum gas fees themselves in order withdraw funds from the platform. Imagine withdrawal of 100$ of PRE tokens to pay 300$ of ETH gas fees. Again, they do it deliberately inorder for users to not dump the tokens in the market.

They claim to pay "many" users which technically it is a false statement.

So why do they even advertise themselves that they do really "pay" to everyone. For an average users it is complete ripoff and they will be far better using Google than this misleading product.

They're taking weeks to pay our PRE

They're taking weeks to pay our PRE. I went to the discord and just met kids or ignorants in the "team". One guy said "it will take few days", another one "days, maybe weeks" and another one didn't know that we can buy PRE on exchange platforms. I didn't get the expected help and they said "if you're not satisfied you can use another engine search, no one is forcing you". Worst experience about withdraw and discord server in 7 years.

Fantastic concept, well executed

I recently learnt about Presearch when researching utility tokens in general. It's such a good concept that is fairly well executed. They're launching their mainnet in April and I think it'll really take off then as latency will reduce and the service should see a significant performance increase.

I really like the UI too although I think it still needs more features such as shopping if it expects to one day compete with Google and Bing etc.

It appears to be a scam

It appears to be a scam. The same message is displayed for many months: "Based upon the Rewards Verification (RVS) System, your current PRE Level of 4 is insufficient to withdraw tokens at this time. We are replacing the RVS system, and will be removing this eligibility requirement soon."

It doesn't appear like there is any way for the user to be paid.

Decentralized search engine with enormous potential

I have been using it for over 2 years now and am enthusiastic about the concept of a decentralized search engine. In addition, I run various presearch nodes to make my contribution. And yes, I was able to successfully withdraw the PRE earned via the Reward and Referral System.

Regarding the negative reviews of my predecessors: if you try to outsmart the reward and referral system by creating multiple accounts per person, using click bots and so on, then you shouldn't be surprised when this is recognized and the PREs earned are blocked.

Modern user interface

Modern user interface , quality of search is satisfying. Withdrawal is legit, but since it's erc20 token you have to pay transaction fee, I use it for more than a year.

Stopped Working Suddenly

I was using the chrome addon and for some reason, the plugin stopped working and all my searches just redirected to Google and skip Presearch.

I contacted support and all they said is they are working on it, that was over two weeks ago.

I have uninstalled and will go back to using Google, this is not a good sign of a good and honest company, be aware.

The PRESEARCH site is a scam

Hi, I strongly warn you activists about the presearch.org site
Do not doubt the looting of this site. These different titles will take over all your tokens, just as they did not give me 2,000 tokens.
This site is a very professional scammer. Very, very good ... Be very careful not to waste your valuable time.
It was about me and now you know
Thank you for your good patience
