Sites that give free satoshi: Dangerous?

[Jombitt]

Hi there,

I'm finding sites like this one:
http://freesatoshibit.com/

That seem to give free Satoshi if I go there every X seconds...

Are these potentially dangerous?

Let's set aside for a minute the sillyness of wasting time on these sites. It could be fun just to see the "plunk" of a satoshi into a new wallet I'm testing, for example.

well that is a faucet for claiming every hour or minutes. There is a scam site and also there is a legit that will pay you. Its not dangerous at all but you will not be satisfied for claiming cents in value of bitcoin. This is only be dangerous if they will be asking for your private key for payout lol. Anyway this isnt worth your time.

Not worth your time and you don't know if they have been infecting malwares along the way. Remember that there as sites right now that takes advantage of your browser. They are called, browser-based mining malware. So if I were you I will stay away from that kind of websites.

Being a newbie, its fun to claim in faucets. But as you mature enough its not really worth it. There are other ways to earn bitcoin here. So listen to our advise and get out of it while its early.

I heard that faucet sites star to use mining script to monetize theirs traffic
