do airdrop really can give huge benefits??

Huge benefit for who? the issuer of the new coin? the final user? potential investor?
Btw I think in some case these are a good way to earn money so there are some benefits. also for the issuer of the project have a return with massive visitors to project site.

Huge benefit? No, most of them are trash but the possibility on making some serious money is there but on small chances specially if its being hyped up you can really make money but if not then those coins are just trash but much better to be kept and collected and pray for that coins to have some good value.If not then theres still nothing to lose since you just got it for free. If you do have the spared time for those airdrops then its still nice to join those ones.

huge benifits from who? i think the benefits of it from you is  earning a profit if you exchange those tokens once it get listed on exchanges. but as the others said most of them are just trash with no real value and no real developments or projects and they are only backed by airdrop hunters.   the benifits from them is they can also earn a profit when someone invested on thier token and also to make thier token more popular to the public.

I agree with you. most airdrop does not have a good concept and most will just be a coin of entertainment. but there are some that can provide small benefits though.

Yeah, airdrops can have the potential to make you some serious cash. I'm currently in the DeepOnion airdrop and it's the best system for an airdrop I've ever seen. You can join the official forum (check my signature) and earn free onions there just for posting as well. They really work well with you too so the whole experience is painless. Otherwise, you're going to be hard pressed to find an airdrop that will make you a lot of money, but you never know. Many aren't very good, but every once in awhile you find one that sets a new standard.

I did pretty well out of eBTC (https://bitcoin-investors.co.uk/2017/10/today-i-was-given-250/) and am doing ok with Bitcore/BTX (https://bitcoin-investors.co.uk/2017/11/bitcore-airdrop-arrived-this-week/).

Please are you at the same time trying to demonstrate an existence of eBTC or bitcore Airdrop presently, or over the years? Thanks.

Maybe if you jackpot 1... the first i saw a huge airdrop was eBTC and that's it

I believe that some of coins could benefit us.

Of course it's benefit if it's free. After you get the tokens/coin from airdrop if there is an exchange that receives the token/coin you can get bitcoin for free is not it? but be careful not to carelessly follow airdrop if they want you pay fee before giving the token/coin (for this depends on having to do research from factor to factor) or your private key. Good luck then and be careful!

Yes, I've earned profits on airdrops and you can definitely get benefits on that one since its just a free coin. The question here is how much? Well, the answer is not easy and leads to other questions...Is the project solid? Are devs committed to that project? It really depends on a coin potential.
Anyway, it just takes a little of our time to sign up for some free airdrops. Nothing to lose and a lot to gain. :)

The problem is that many AirDrop are scams or on stillborn projects for the most part.
The worst thing is the scam with the collection of data such as wallet addresses for all the more currencies you really don't have to be afraid to communicate your mail because in my opinion is likely to be drowned under spam and other phishing attempt.

I think airdrop is beneficial. for us and investors and token teams.
we can get money from airdrop easily because usually the airdrop project just ask us to register our account and include MEW and publish its token.
for investors is usually profitable in terms of token progress. by distributing tokens through airdrop can lure traders to buy tokens with so can provide benefits for investors.

Actually airdrop is bonus coin but not as big as the other coin.

Airdrops work in two ways one side they benefit project to get publicity and hunters to get free coin , if project gets success , both are winners .. most of big project are example of such airdrops

You can but you must wait long long time and just %5-10 gets better.

Free money is free money.  As long as the airdrop is legitimate the receiver has nothing to lose.  There have been a few scam airdrops that ask you to provide your private keys and now there are airdrops asking for donations from you in order to get your coins.  I stay away from those. 


As a developer it's a great way to get y our coin or token out into the wild.

Maybe not all but some give a good amount of money but anyways airdrops are free so we should not expect more even if it is 5 dollars its totally fine because we aren't  paying for anything and we getting that for free. A few days ago I joined an airdrop of PosTokens which was pretty good I got 25 tokens and now each token has a value of more than a dollar so that is still  a good amount for doing nothing except I waited for 2-3 weeks.

for me airdrop has great benefits if the coin price is good, but not useful if coin is not valuable and does not have a market, can be called a junk coin. but I hope the airdrop I follow has a good price

I think it can be yes, and it can not, depending on the project and the people who support, lots of airdrop scam out there, follow your feelings which airdrop you think really benefit

Most of airdrop are scam without new futures, specially those who ask you to send and little amount of Ethereum to an adress.
Stay away of this kind of airdrop, most of the time you will dont receive your Token.
Only fill free Airdrop and pay attention to never give your private key otherwise someone will steal all your Ethereum.

NEM, Ripple, Decred were all airdrops, and although I wasn't around then, people are saying they were worthless at first, but if you had held them all, you'd be a millionaire now ... so to me, it is worth the few seconds to fill out a form and get some free coins, and I just HODL them all.  Nothing to lose, and maybe you'll hit a jackpot. 

how many days do i wait for airdrop to funds my ether wallet? ??? ???

Not huge, but sometimes a coin gets pumped and than it is nice

I am also in the Deep Onion airdrop and have been very pleased with the results. The team deserves to be a Harvard MBA case study with their use of viral marketing techniques and rapid ecosystem growth. Many copycat coins have attempted to replicate their magic, but so far I have not seen any that have been able to do so. I agree with previous posters that many airdrops are scams. Perhaps they are just trying to collect contact info to be sold to crypto marketers, especialy the ERC-20 tokens that start with E in the name, edogecoin, etc. However at least two that I am aware of New Economy Movement and Decred have generated wealth for the early adopters that received the airdrop.

Some airdrops can benefit you if it will be listed on the market and have a great value, but there are also those airdrops that has no value at all most of them are the ones with no clear path for their project.

If you try to scam many airdrop campaigns with lots of account  >:( they may give huge profit, but otherwise they usually give $5- $20, usually not more than $50.

I don't think so. Most of these coin are trash coins and there is no reason that someone keep buying them.

It really depends on the coin, so many are just scams and not worth nothing and some are great do your research.

I can’t say Airdrop give big benefit, it depends on the project development  whether the coin will be successful in the future. Stellar Lumen airdroped its coin and it is doing fine because of active development.

could be, as long as you can participated a lot of airdrop and have not just one account

so in once airdrop you can get a lot of coin or tokens from one airdrop,

if you participate many airdrop you will get more result, and if you sell your

airdrop result when they have a good price you will get huge benefits from airdrop

An issuer, an investor or an user, are entitled for its benifit. From the word itself, it drops in our wallet without big effort. In a long run, small amount of those free token would become a big benifit. It is better than nothing at all.

Airdrop work in two waves one side they benefit project to get public city and to get free coin.

Airdrops is best option to hunt fools with offering free coins if you know what i am talking about ;) I never download any free software,wallet ot my pc even in case of devs refuse to send my tokens. Hunt or be hunted ;)

In my opinion, newbie opinion only, Airdrop is just like ICo some become successfull and give lots of benifits and profit to lots of involved parties and some just failed.

If I think it is very useful for many people Because we only register for a moment and still can do various other bounties to supplement the income every month and we just need to wait patiently Airdrop coin is entered the depth of myetherwallet.

Mostly all airdrops are tryin to make as much hype around the coin as possible so major holders could grab their profits and dump all the shitcoins to the common users after that. I'm realy curious to see at least a couple of altcoins that were distributed thru the big airdrop and saved their valur for a long time. I'll be glad if anyone will provide some links

Airdrop gives us some kind of benefits. It's work in to way one side they benefit project to get public city and to get free coin.

Nowadays, the trend of releasing airdrops and projects has increased tremendously, it seems that there has been a flood, but choosing the right and the wrong is the endurance job, finding reliable projects is very difficult, in which you can invest without risk and confidence.

I do not really think about it, but I just take it and get a freebie for my wallet ...

just a few of the many airdrop. the rest will only be a collection in the swallow because of its value that tends to be small. even most airdrop will be left after entering the market.

Yes, it can if the dev have good Intentions from onset. If the dev is not after his own purse

It honestly depends on the project. Some have air drops that are cash grabs and go nowhere. Others are legit projects and the air drops help to grow the communities.

Hard to find a better coin to hold. Many coins in the airdrop are all trashcoins. So many dumpers joining the airdrop.

really what you say. most airdrop coins just become entertainment coins only. the rest are forgotten and do not have the right price.

There has been a couple of airdrop that was worth something a couple of weeks ago but I think everyone realized that those airdrops are not serious and I haven't received anything that was worth something lately.

Such a good question. During my participation in various airdrops, I only received about 25% of them. Out of the 25% airdrops I received, only less than 5% that really gave me something "Good".

Thus, you really need some "luck", if you want to hit that unknown Jackpot...

I participated in several and I want to say that I was not lucky. Probably need to participate in a lot of airdrops and that at least one was successful and you could earn something from it. But I heard that someone was lucky)

As I see it is all about quantity and not quality. Participate in as much as you can and refer as much as you can.
Looks like a lot of work.

That is not the way to go.
If you really are interested in the coin then invest in it, if not then you will be having so many coins worth nothing in your wallet.

How will it work when BTC comes to a hard fork? What does that mean that it will split and there will be two separate coins, and whoever holds value in one will gain automatically the same amount for the second coin?

agree with you. bitcoin will be hardfork and now altcoins down all.. its bad for holder altcoin can't sell their altcoins and get btc

I think you can certainly gain some small amount of money from airdrops. It's free money after all, why would you even expect huge profits from it?
Think long-term, if you'd participate in as many airdrops as you can then you will earn some nice amount I believe.
I myself never participated in any airdrop but I want to get started soon.

It's free money anyway! But I doubt these coins have huge values in the first place, since many people received such coins for fee.

Most airdrop does not have a good concept and most will just be a coin of trash. But I believe that some of coins could benefit us.

I think it depends on our luck and our skill in choosing airdrop project, because now a lot of airdrop that total supplay very much but in the end become a scam.
Bottom line we must be careful in choosing the airdrop that we follow.

I guess not, because as far as I understamd Airdrop is just those not trash but excessed from the project, but I cannot really recommend tofocus on airdrop because if ypu are not that lucky then it will be good for you to stay tune in airdrops of projects.
It is better to make this airdrop your extras not to priority at all.

It depends on the airdrop, and on the quality of the coin. I have received without asking several airdrops of shit coins that are worthless, I don't want them. There are a few airdrops that can be good, but amounts are small. So I don't chase them.

few airdrop yes, but most of airdrop become useless coin,,
just, follow the airdrop with serious team in development

You're right, some airdrops have almost nothing in value and isn't enlisted yet from any exchanger. But also we can't deny that, free drops are just an easy money and sometimes we are just lucky  to have coins that having a huge value in the markey just like eBTC.

all tokens/coins on the airdrop has a value  but some of them arent just high though it might take some time for them to increase and pump if the coin gets listed on some different exchanges online not just on a single exchange like etherdelta. so i suggest you must wait and hold your precious coins/token if you want to get to most out of it and also all of them will be listed on exchanges when the time comes.

for me maybe yes, because I get free coins from airdrop, but the market price of the coins earned depends on the dev project doing what is solid and committed in this project, because the value of the coins distributed depends on the project.
but there is no harm to register in airdrop.

I think there are advantages and there are not ,,, be careful in choosing airdrop ,, lest we get stuck scam ,, it all depends how we can judge

Almost no airdrop yields anything because it ends up with some profit are some smart who ask for deposits entroca of tokens that are not worth anything, stay smart with it!

I suppose it’s all a bit of a gamble, but if you’re not putting money in to gain the coins, and they turn out to be worthless, you haven’t lost anything other than time

Yes, some of them give a huge benefits to those who join airdrop but most of airdrop are from those scam coins. Also,  airdrop sometimes give bad effects to the coin itself because some of those people who gets free coins from airdrop usually dumping the coins because they get it for free.

If for me it is sometimes airdrop beneficial only part like eGold that I get from airdrop. But for now most airdrop is like garbage where there is no clear plan or road map. And back again that airdrop is free money where we will not lose in terms of material so there is no harm to join with airdrop.

They will only benefit you if you join the right ones.
Unfortunately it looks like there aren't much real airdrops left, jmostly ust pump and dumps.

It's free money but people won't be able to cash their money out when the price goes next to nothing of value.

you just can not rely on huge benifits when you reveive it free. Airdrop is free to received , but most airdrops are shits that they all only want is to have money , earn money through their investors. If you want to have a huge benifits , invest in an ICO that has a big potential in the industry.

For now it is a lot of airdrop that scam, if indeed the goal to find a big profit better do not participate airdrop. Because the airdrop is without work and just register, so do not expect too much for results.

depending on the airdrop ,, there is also a big successful airdrop. the price can continue to rise when it is just airdrop. I myself was interested to follow airdrop .. because the result is quite a lot.

Yeah...Dear I think Airdrops is a big opportunity to give us a great future. airdrop is one kind of luck.
Just you will get a good airdrops, than you think you are luck ,it gave us a good future.

For me its dipinds on the airdrop because not all airdrop are succesful airdrop, that can give benefit for us who are interested in airdrop. Nevertheless I am interested to follow airdrop because airdrop is free coins so, less of effort but we have the possibility to earn in simple singing in their sites.

perhaps yes, because airdrop is usually only required to register an account and include our wallet address. after that, we just wait for the next plan to enter the market list. there we can sell it at a high price.
from there we get profit. but usually the profit is not so high.

Actually, airdrop is a bonus coin but not as big as the other coin bought with some amount of money.

Just my POW if a campaign has good organization support and a good system, airdrops and its beneficiaries will be lucky enough for the tokens/coins distributed will hit high, more and more audiences and support will come if everyone sees that it is a promising, what is really importance is on how to get the entire community understand and learn about it, in that will it will be easy for them to help the project or campaign. Then if that happens, its gonna be great both for admin/dev and the supporters. Airdrops will be awesome!

Some coin have really give hign value to those people who join them like ebtc, ecash and other coins and in the middle of pumping dev will be gone like nothings happen a what amber said, but i think most of coins are useless coin.

As for me, airdrop has great benefits if the coin price is good, but not useful if coin is not valuable it can be called a junk coin. but I hope the airdrop I follow has a good price to me.

Some airdrops are just scam because they just want to get the information of some people. When you fill up the form, some require the information of private key and for those people who doesn't know the importance of private key, they easily get swayed and give it out only to find out later that their coins are already gone. There are some airdrops that are legit and may have some value. You just have to wait for sometime for the coin to have some value because many of them are late bloomers and some are being hype but with no real value but you can still benefit from when you sell at the right time.

But sometimes it's a waste of time like you almost joined them all but still your wallet is empty and mostly of the airdrops now just want to have many followers in twitter as they require you before you can join in the airdrop you must follow and retweet their tweets, yeah it's fine but sometimes they're just fooling the participants like do this and those but still you got nothing.
As I can see the airdrops before really gives us money like we're so hook with it and that's why now they're taking the advantage of it.

I think yess maybe some coins do not have high value or do not have value all it is still have benefits..
despite joining aidrop is completely free and easy to join.

maybe later or sooner coins you get from airdrop will have a value who knows

sometimes, yes. NOT always, just dont rely on it so much. if you try to make "free money" try to get into project like bounty campaign

sometime can give you huge benefits, depending on the rules given by those who have airdrop. We must be good at choosing airdrop so we do not accept the loss from the airdrop

Maybe you can, as long as we have to choose which airdrop is good, and do not forget to join bounty

Not really huge, but it can be big enough
Let alone if you bought more when it was still cheap
But still the risk is very bery high, because most of them end up being scam

maybe some airdrop only, but not all. some sometimes lead to fraud and data misuse, so I guess you should always be careful.

Yeah, there was a time when the free ebtc airdrop reached up to 4,000 USD in worth and that's when I believe the hype began with airdrops. They never reached the heights of what ebtc reached but they got the idea. However, I personally don't like them because bitcointalk is spammed with a lot of toxic airdrops cluttering the forum.

Airdrops are cool if you are patient enough...there are airdrops can help generate cash for little projects you might have in hand. Currently airdropa are giving me small cash that i use to buy into potential profitable ICOs

Yes ofcourse cause they give you token if you joined their airdrop and you qualify their spreadsheet you can hold the token they give until the token has a value in market you can already sell it wp. :D

Airdrop is one effective way to present a coin freely into community this can benefit both and is a win2x situation from the developers and participants if succeeded. Sometimes I only knew some coins because of this airdrop and if i realize how profitable that coin in the future because of strong development its time to hodl and buy more.   

Well i guess airdrop gives benefits in a way that you can get the tokens for free without investing anything. And if you are lucky enough to get a token that have a higher demand in the market, then it would be very benefial to your part. But airdrop doesnt have security. So for you to a have sure income, join campaigns.

benefit to whom , to deveopers?  yes, it helps developers create community and supporters. an exchangers need supporters if not the token may be rejected. Bitcoin gold airdrop is benefit too bitcoin holders to add more cash in the wallet. More possesion to turn into more bitcoin. This is free coin with high price. BTG and BCH are the same but new airdrop? Am not sure the opportunity.

Well yes airdrop can give profit if the coin become valuable but it takes time. Its very easy to join by just signing up and then wait. But some airdrops are scam and just want to get the information of the users so beware.

Fast priced coins are usually not worth investing in...so why would you want to participate in their airdrop?

Well obviously to dump on the people who are oblivious to this and do put up some of their money on the exchanges.

I joined the GENESIS COIN airdrop , they have a growing community that is quite exciting... Am sure the future is bright for this token

Define "huge"? Some airdrops got me $20. Some got me $500-800. But neither of these are "huge" in my books.
I prefer airdrops with a potential to earn over $1k, but these are getting ridiculously rare.
Which is why now might be a good time to study alternative and unorthodox types of airdrops. Because airdrops are changing and evolving too.

A real life example. I am taking part in Prom Testnet Campaign.
At first glance, it looks just like the ordinary airdrop quest - you got a testnet, you claim test $PROM from the faucet, you make transactions and mint NFTs and tokens.
But the fun part is that the rewards for the Testnet Campaign are not tokens.
Although 1 million $PROM will be distributed as a prize pool, they are not the actual reward, since these tokens will be locked from external use.
Meaning you can't sell them or transfer them or swap them.

What's the reward then?
A DAO governance role of a Delegate.
This role will allow you to use these tokens (and accumulate tokens from fellow members who will delegate them to you) and use them for voting purposes, simultaneously earning a right to partake in Prom Network profits.
Delegates will be entitled to a whopping 30% of the network profits.

This could potentially be huge, if the network transactions grow ten times, your profits will also increase tenfold.
You could easily be bagging hundreds and thousands of dollars in the future.

For the current model, the number is extraordinary, with tasks almost the same as participating in a social media giveaway campaign on Bounthies altcoins. I myself am participating in the AIM token airdrop.

There are now many providers such as Zealy, TaskOn and others. If you look at income, perhaps the competition will be high because the payment system uses rankings.

Participating in an airdrop is one way to get tokens for free, and if the tokens provided pass and are registered on a certain exchange, especially if the token has value, then you can be sure that the person who gets the token will become very rich.

Wow an old thread, created years ago. That time aridrops were profitable. After that, airdrops were full of shit cause given altcoins were useless, hadn't Listed on any exchange. But in this year 2024, airdrops created good buzz and that's true. Lots of people already got decent amount of money from many airdrops and airdrops craze is going higher day by day. Although not every airdrops are going to give you huge profit but yeah, some airdrops are valid in real.

In the last few months I have observed airdrops that can give you more profits, always using capital, say retro airdrops, for example Degen or RDAT. I heard that many people got big profits from the retro airdrop. but it's different from the Points system airdrop, for example Param or Nyan. without capital and profits depend on the points you collect.

Airdrops are not meant for everyone. Investors and traders relents and this is no good sign for growth, rather face our work and our confidence boosts for evident reasons. Airdrops is another reliable means to abstract enormous profits from the market. This can be tough but we should always know what's best for us. I always make sure I take absolute control of the market, implementing strategies that suits our standards.

People are attracted to be airdrop projects for several months, airdrop projects are heavily promoted on many social media. I have heard that people are taking money from new airdrop projects, I have seen people close to me also taking money from airdrop projects. It is also true that people are getting money from the projects, but you can't go very far with Airdrop projects. You must choose one or the other investment method, if you want to advance in the future. If you invest in proper analysis then you can progress very fast. Along with airdrop project you need to focus investment.

Currently many people in my area are making quite a profit by airdropping. A few days ago managed to make a good profit from an airdrop. However I have done many airdrops till now, never received payment from any airdrop till now. Currently joined several projects, hope it can be good. It's not exactly all airdrops are good, sometimes some airdrops are good. Hope to make good profit from airdrop in this coming bullish season.

What project have you started for drop?

Airdrop gives a lot of benefits. Especially testnet airdrops where u learn how to add Liquidity, Remove liquidity, participate in liquidity mining and lots more. There are Poeple who were able to learn new things by participating in airdrops.

While possibly not then theres as yet nothing to lose since you just got it free of charge. On the off chance that you in all actuality do possess the saved energy for those airdrops, joining those ones still decent. They truly function admirably with you too so the entire experience is effortless. Any other way, you will be unable to find an airdrop that will make you huge amount of cash, yet who can say for sure.
