After all the kerfuffle with the recent craze in airdrops I'm sure many of you, like me, are wondering what ever actually happened to them.

I must have entered hundreds of them, all with correct details etc to not actually receive anything. While this isn't anything like being 'robbed' or 'scammed' it does leave you wondering what the point of it was?

If the devs were looking for money they'd actually need to distribute it and I keep seeing all these new eth coins pop up on Etherdelta so I thought I would ask how many of you actually received your airdrop and which ones you actually received.

I'm not sure about others but so far I have got the eBTC, eLTC2, eLTC3, WavesG, wBTC, TEXCOIN, EXN and BDSM

I applied for pretty much all of them and even plugged a couple on my site but they didnae deliver. Hopefully they do in the future.

To be entirely honest with you all this commotion has made me consider creating a coin with a limited supply and distributing it for free. Seems to be the way forward. Most of these tokens do absolutely nothing and the only reason exchanges like EtherDelta allow trading of them is they get free money from trades I guess.

These coins will all disappear once the forks are all done is my guess.

If you are signing up with a newbie account you most likely (in most cases) won't be eligible to receive airdrop

I signed for different airdrops since 2 days but never got mine, maybe I have still to wait...

I share with you some link for all future airdrops  ;)

I got a 500 TRX airdrop in my liqui account. No idea how that happened though.

I was thinking about the newbie thing but so many of them don't even have a member rank as a requirement so it seems a bit shady, to me at least.

I know it's not a scam in the traditional sense if you're not actually losing money but I do feel it could all be a way for half arsed devs to capitalise on the greed of human nature.

All you have to do is make a coin, distribute it for free and get it on etherdelta. After that you'll make a good salary for the year by the look of it!

I receive hundreds of Onions each week for participating in the DeepOnion airdrop. I'd say the last legitimate airdrop I had participated before DO was Decred. I got a couple hundred Decred back in their airdrop days.

Another question i have is: after successfully applying, where you receive airdropped tokens? And also if/when you get tokens from airdrop, what you can do with this and how to convert in BCT/ETH?
Thanks to anyone want answer to my doubt ;)

Yeah I really liked the look of the Deep Onion airdrop but got blacklisted for some reason  ??? I definitely post enough and all my posts are English etc with well over the character count.

Trying to get onto it now but I am doubtful. Seems like a lot of people are in my boat.

Probably from when I first signed up to this forum and didn't really have much of a clue what I was doing. Hey ho, live and learn n'that.

When the airdrop is completed you can check your balance by pasting your public address into etherscan.io

That will show you if you have received a token by clicking on the tokens tab.

Then, it will tell you the details to input into my ether wallet etc (whicever you use).

It will state: Contract address, the symbol (eBTC for example) and how many decimals. You put that infor into your wallet and it will show your balance.

From there you need to transfer to an exchange which trades the token you just received. When on there you can sell it for BTC or ETH.

Hope this helps.

I did not receive anything from airdrop eth yesterday that had a scene because I know the price of the token will be dump all-out.

Got several pennies out of it, nothing is as good as free money I guess  ;D
But I deeply believe none of this token will last long, it will all die eventually

Many thanks for that mini guide :)

I do receive some, and already cashed out some part of it on the nice pump especially ELTC2 :-*
I tbh cant believe this 'e' coins could be valued this much without any whitepaper, roadmap, real dev team
But that's the fact

Depends whats you expect from this tokens.
Probably the most part of it have no reason to exist or the project are based on nothing, but at least can be considered as free money :D

I've been pretty lucky with the airdrops - although there's been quite the flurry of them recently and most of those haven't panned out.

I got into Minereum, Kekcoin, DeepOnion, eBTC - those are just a few off the top of my head.

Minereum did well at first, although it's been on the downswing for awhile now, Kekcoin seems to stay between .05 and .08 cents, eBtc has been all over the place, and DeepOnion seems to hold pretty consistently between $0.75-$1.00

That being said, the airdrop trend seems to be a free for all now after eBtc shot up briefly. I don't expect the majority of them to pan out, but I'm still signing up. I've earned a few Btc's in the process.

Your experience is really bad. But my friend have very good. So I also filled some airdrop recently and hope I will get them as my friend got.
You also try with someone experienced.

DFS gave me 100 coins through twitter airdrop, although in general the airdrops seem to be too little amounts to even bother with. I do suppose that it's easier to get paid out using higher ranked accounts, newbies are probably excluded from a lot of promotions. I haven't personally had issues of not getting paid through airdrops or other giveaways.

I made some nice money with eBTC. I dropped it arround 9000 sat and that was a nice price :) I am happy that I sold early enough!

Yes, agree. I think that airdrop amount, exschanged on the market, is reduced to very few thousand of satoshi. Are very rare the projects that airdrop an amouint of coins that later become a good sum.

We'll I just apply to all of them, it free money it does not hurt, but the rate of ecoin airdrop for the pass few days is crazily alarming.. So much fake dev, I apply anyway

It depends on the altcoin that they will drop, sometimes it required to download their specific wallet first before you can join it. But mostly they just using Ethereum and Waves platform. It's easily, I just use MEW and https://waveswallet.io as my wallet.

DeepOnion seeming to be the only long term and worth while airdrop to participate in. Dont get me wrong i have also applied to other airdrops in hopes to not miss out lol fomo. But i will stay and keep my DeepOnion coins for the looong term ;) im pretty sure that it will soar in months to come especially with all thr great features being developed

I've took part in many of them during the last days, but received only POS tokens, PayBits. And thanks to EtherDelta all of them are tradable :)

It's a tough market - there are a lot of rubbish airdrops, but just a few good ones that make it all worthwhile.

eBTC was very amazing !!!
Paid out and rock the hood at first time wow

Great Help!!! thanks

I noticed that for most of these Airdrops a "Newbie" status doesn't qualify for a distribution. In addition, several of them require that the airdrop applicant has a Bitcointalk account open for a specific number of days before the distribution in order to receive the coins. I even saw a requirement of a minimum number of postings on Bitcoin Forum independently from the applicant's Bitcointalk status.

I am wondering if due to restrictions on ICOs (i.e. China) airdrops will become the main distribution channel for new coins.

I earned a lot in ebtc. just need to wait for all airdrops. sometimes due to numbers of joining its take a day to received

It seems like nothing that I sign up for pays out lately...  maybe because I'm a newbie...  I tried to join in on the eBTC, but didn't get anything.  either I did wrong or I'm too green for that airdrop...  I'll keep trying, eventually one will pay out!

Thanks to all that are posting, I'm seeing some airdrops I missed   :'(  , and hearing about others that sound interesting    :)  . 

Same here, use mostly Ethereum wallet or Waves. I tend to pass on the wallet specific ones as they require downloads. While some research can prove whether they are legit or not, I don't feel it's worth the time and not willing to risk it as I do use same PC for other wallets.

As a new account i cannot have the Onion Airdrop either, but maybe soon i will be a regular account, anyway, did you get some interest into recieving some POW ?

Most of them are shit coins / scams. Plus very small amounts. Not worth my time.

None. Most are scams anyways, or just some worthless tokens, so i guess im not missing out on anything.

Most of my airdrops have paid out - the most recent being the POW airdrop, which has my coins on their site and hasn't given me the private key, so it's debateable whether or not that one has paid out yet. Deeponion has by far been the most successful airdrop, with the best price out of all the airdropped coins and an active market to be traded in. It pays out every week and very minimal work is required, compared to some more heavy coins that require more posts, social media posts, or a higher level bitcointalk account. I would highly recommend anyone who wants a guaranteed airdrop every week registers! Current payout is about $6-700 every week for member level bitcointalk users.

Most of the airdrops are useless anyways, you won't get out much from it. May be if you are lucky some coin might hit and get some money. I did apply for some today, yet to receive any, but i don;t have any hope though because i know they are free coins for a reason.

I got paid almost all the airdrops except couple. I may have registered twice for couple and may have got banned. The only reason I registered twice was the original thread was removed so when the new one was created I registered again thinking I may have to. But most of those have paid out. Now how successful those will be, time will tell.

POS Token paid out.  I am very happy with the experience.  I will be keeping my tokens and selling.  When a company does what they say they are going to do I like to get more involved in their specific community.

So far I've applied for many... But only got BDSM and EXMR....  Figure because I am fairly new to bitcointalk though, although I'm a long time lurker..

It depends of the project/company providing the airdrop. Some of the coins are tokens based on ethereum, and than you can use your MEW. Others are based on Waves plattform. Or others are real own protocols like deeponion. For this one you would need to upload their wallet.

Recently I got shit token (SHT) huge number may be couple of million token I wonder what to do then I transferred to etherdelta where it already listed . After some time I got some ether even some successful  Ico couldn’t able to give the amount which I got from sht token.

So far one airdrop that actually paid me out is the ETHD airdrop. I got $300 for free and now it's cheap

renos paid out well. airdrop was 30k coins, which turned out to be a masternode, and none too shabby when it popped to 6k sat.

Eltc was one of the coins that actually paid me out. The airdrop was at a higher range, now the airdrop might be a fraction of what the reward originally was.

I have got EOT, PRXY actually paid out. I have also received ATS, although my friends who I referred still haven't got theirs so that's unfortunate. I also have the Byteball paid consistently. So overall, it's generally good.

A lot of these airdrops are hit or miss
You dont know whether or not they would be the next big thing but its worth a try.
In the early stages its hard to tell but if theres a committed and smart dev or individual behind it, its probably a good bet.
NEM made someone a millionaire
bytom was good
, elixir, and ethd, and ebtc did well

i just got ebtc, ats and pos token came from the airdrop i'm just wondering how does it works, but unfortunately may airdrops did not pay or just missing in action after the ICO, i just want to join in the deeponion becausw it is a good project but the problem is i don't know how to create wallet or let say what is the appropriate wallet i'm gonna be use.
