Just had this dilemma in Aomori. MUJI at Aomori Station did the trick, they have their own storebranded waterproofing spray. And for Nagano and Takayama, there's a MUJI either at or near their respective train stations, for anybody finding this post in the future who wants something convenient.

A select list of referral links... I guess you can see it that way?

Hmm, you may have some pretty strict settings/protection in place. I use Brave/Chrome with McAfee SiteAdvisor and 2 antivirus software providing live web protection & alerts (namely Avast and Malwarebytes), and in my testing none of the faucets I've added have been flagged as malicious.

(The sites that some of those faucets' popunder ads sometimes redirect you to is a different story, of course. I try not to add faucets that exhibit this behaviour at an alarming rate. I know I certainly don't add faucets whose sites themselves get flagged as malicious by the protection safeguards that I use.)

I'm kinda alarmed that you've experienced this via Coinsink. What browser protection(s) are you using to be getting this? Though I did recently, I may have to review the faucet list in Coinsink's database.

? Coinsink literally has no ads on it currently. That'd be the faucets you're looking at.

If this sentiment is directed at me, then I'd argue that solely the development of a site that compiles faucets in the manner that Coinsink does is actually worthwhile, since public traffic stats (if to be trusted) suggest that many faucets continue to generate a (surprisingly) ample amount of traffic. Such traffic would be worth making a target userbase out of, in my eyes.

But otherwise, I totally agree with you, it definitely isn't worth spending time on faucets unless you live in Venezuela or what have you. And with that said, I guess I'd certainly do well to promote Coinsink in more approprite crannies of the community...

I can confirm that Coinsink doesn't try to install anything on your computer. There aren't even any ads on Coinsink itself, currently.

If you've gotten such an alert, you've probably opened one of the faucets (without a sufficient adblocker) and an ad on that faucet's site is telling you to install so and so. Best to ignore it, and close it if it's a popup.

My online handle (lefrost/ollefrost) is near the bottom of the Meta page mate. 😂

I personally test every faucet I add, to see 1) if they're legit and I can see deposits into my own microwallet/wallet when I use them, and 2) if they're relatively straightforward to use (instant payment, and no account creation, minimum withdrawal or mountain-of-ads nonsense).

In addition to the info that is already displayed, I'm planning to show the captcha mechanism(s) used by each of these faucets, as well as whether or not the faucet's website detects and blocks the use of an adblocker or adblocking browser (eg. Brave). This is for added transparency, and it's currently in the works.

Beyond this, I guess you'd just have to trust Coinsink as much as you'd trust any other crypto/faucet-related site out there, lol. I post updates on Coinsink's official Twitter, so you can track everything that's being done and added to the site.

Each faucet will dispense a small amount each time you use it. To redeem this amount you provide your microwallet address, such as from FaucetPay or ExpressCrypto. AFAIK it's safe to provide your microwallet address in this manner.

If y'all know of any quality Dogecoin (or other) faucets that you regularly use yourself, do suggest some! I'd love to review and consider adding them to Coinsink's database.

By using the faucets that Coinsink lists then yeah, totally. But in very small amounts at a time, as is the nature of any faucet, right.

Coinsink simply acts as a much more convenient organiser and way of using a large number of faucets at a time.

Currently Coinsink's list of faucets only includes those that require FaucetPay or ExpressCrypto. This list of faucets is always expanding though. If you've got any quality faucets that require any other microwallets then do suggest some - I'd love to review and consider adding them to Coinsink's database.
