New WordPress plugin allows any website to host a Bitcoin faucet

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

Yeah but back in the day 5 bitcoin was nothing, nowadays a faucet will take you years to get even half a bitcoin.

I think it's a nice story but to newbies it should be clear that you will never earn a bitcoin unless you work for it.
