There's no danger of doing any damage to your computer. Also, you can set the % low so that you don't stress out the CPU and you can continue to use the PC at the same time. As to whether it's worth it financially, we don't really know yet as Wetsuit hasn't finalised the mining reward. This will happen after testing is complete and it has been rolled out to the whole userbase. Then we can work out if the rewards cover the cost of electricity.
I really don't think it is mining BTC directly, I assume it's mining XMR and that's being traded for BTC.

If it's really BTC mining, i wouldn't bother.... Chance of your pc overheating would be a lot bigger than chance of making enough BTC to withdraw, ever.

So, they're either not really mining in the background, and just use this miner as an excuse to make you stay on their page and watch their ads, or they're doing something completely different using your computer and pay you in BTC (like mining monero, or they're doing something useless that will break your pc without any profit.

Got a notification in freebitco.in "Use your browser to passively mine bitcoin and receive mining rewards instantly to your FreeBitco.in account, credited every 5 minutes." Anyone has any idea how this works and is it worth it? Is there any chance of laptop/PC being damaged from this sort of "mining"?
