Hello! Can you explain me what airdrop mechanisms are, their functionning/implications please?

When a developer airdrops coins/tokens it means that they give them away for free. You have to qualify to participate in the airdrop, and the rules for qualification and amounts of airdrops varies from project to project.

Here is an earlier thread you can learn more from: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1876879.0

Hope this helps.

Helps users get involved with the project by incentivizing them to learn more about it and in return they get free coins. People sign up for an address and then get sent coins, and the hope is that the coin explodes and the free coins are now worth a decent amount of money.

Airdrop is good idea to attract new people.
Unfortunately, I don't get airdrop because need find good project.. Have not time for it.
Do you know good airdrop?

To tell you the truth of my own experiece. I have earn my first token with dollar value in the first airdrop that I had signed up. Then after that all airdrop that I have joined were shitcoins. Eventually I have stop signing in airdrop. I have a bad experience with airdrop unlike my friends who were very lucky in airdrop.

Functioning is that you appoint yourself into a list that will be given X amount of tokens. Implications are marketing, means you will own their tokens plus you will advertise them via different social media sites, forums and overall ways to earn more of their tokens... Basically is just paid advertisement

An airdrop is a team that develops tokens and assigns a certain amount of tokens to all the people in the community, so that everyone has a certain token, but now many of airdrop are lie.

It simply means that if you are holding BTC in a wallet that allows you to sign messages (local or online one) , you could get free coins. For instance, Bitcore made a Snapshot of the Bitcoin Network and identified every user with a balance bigger than 0.01 BTC, all wallets containing BTC at that point can claim free BTX coins by signing a message from their wallet. Hope it helps.

Airdrop is one way to make free tokens by collecting them in bounty campaigns from ICO announcement threads. They can be profitable sometimes, and minimal work needs to be done!

Airdrop is a way of getting tokens ofcourse you need to participate and fill up all required in forms to earn some different it is also good cause airdrop attracts people. I think this their way to promote their token. Airdrop also profitable and good

for op, i guess you should browse first, no need to create new thread.

for me airdrop is a part of a project's marketing strategy where they give away free token in exchange of people spreading the project for them especially sharing the company's project to their respective social media accounts as it will give an company an exposure and attract potential investors.

We all know that airdrop is a free coin and easy to earn. But you need to choose good airdrop because most of free coin are not valuable,

Thank you, there are so many threads about the same simple questions all the time. People be getting into crypto and they can't even use Google search...

Airdrop will gives us tokens by just giving them our informations like our bitcointalk name, wallet address and sometimes email.
In selected airdrops you have first retweet their post or post on their thread

Airdrop - this is when a company through the free distribution of its tokens advertises its project to the masses. Usually this happens at the very start of the project. After Airdrop, a bounty company usually begins, directed directly at advertising the project itself and raising funds.

An airdrop is a distribution mechanism for a project to transfer crypto tokens or coins to wallet addresses.

Usually, the developers allocate a pool of coins to the airdrop. They then implement the airdrop using parameters they have decided upon. These may or may not be published. Parameters can be anything the developers choose. For example, an individual may get a share of coins proportional to the amount they already hold. For many airdrops developers need to collect information from recipients - say, proof of nationality (in the case of Country Coin airdrops) or addresses of wallets not on the same chain as the air drop coin. The developers can then run a script against a block explorer for that alien address and reward recipients with a share of their own coin proportional to the amount held on the other chain. Platforms like Waves and Ardor make airdrops easier across different tokens. Most airdrops are organised at the start of a project, either in one drop, or are staged in regular drops. Any project with control of their crypto assets can drop them whenever and however they choose.

Projects like Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold were not airdrops - the chain was forked and recipients held 1:1 with Bitcoin itself. The developers did not have any discretion as to who got what. You can be sure that developers behind these sort of projects are already whales in the original blockchain and the 1:1 reward is motivation for them.

Why would they, it's all about buying shitcoin and waiting for 1000x return. :)

The ideologies of airdrop is a win win situation between developers and participants. All airdrop are free giveaway to participant but most comes with instructions to do something like tweeting about the project which is similar to advertising for the project. So in all everyone benefit.

Airdrop is something that can provide you earn money if you are lucky, bounty is something that is most probably provide you to earn some money.

And it is interesting and stimulates interest in the project

So there is no unreciprocated airdrop? How is it different from bounties then? I thought airdrop was distributed gratuitously.

Its a way of making free tokens or profit by collecting these airdrops from Bounty Programs set out by the different ICOs coming out, its part of the crowdsale usually.

Airdrop is when a project decides to give free tokens or coin to their the community members for numbers of reason. it could be for supporting the project or for compensation or for what ever reason it might be. it is normally about getting free token or coin.

Airdrop is to expand the publicity by issuing free encryption token. It functions as long as the item is given free of charge according to certain rules. Effect: more people can be involved in the airdrop. It can improve the publicity effect of the project very well.

Airdrop is when a certain project distributes free tokens or coins to the crypo community.

When the developer of the airdrop coin decided to give the coin to holders of certain coin, it is an airdrop.

It is free, so don’t fall for scams to pay in order to claim for the airdropped coins.

Airdrop is where you can get a token by completing all the form given and it is one of the developers plan to help there project.

1. You can get some tokens for minimal your activity. It is for you.
2. Airdrop is promotion for ico project.

AirDrop is simple  to get free coin for evryone, you just need to follow the step to get coin, its very easy    ;)

An airdrop is when you receive free coins or tokens. Airdrops are done in several ways:

* Hodler Airdrops: This is when you receive free free coins if you hold a specific coin. For example BTC. Byteball was an airdrop of this type.
* Airdrops/Bounties for tasks you accomplish. Many airdrops force people to join Telegram groups oder follow via Twitter.

Here is an airdrop source which I like: https://twitter.com/CryptoAirdrops

An airdrop is a marketing way to draw attention to your coin or token. Because who doesn't like it to get something for free? It is very effective to spread awareness of what you are doing.

It`s like promotion in markets. When someone dressed in brand suite giveaway people little piece of product. They test it and if they enjoyed they can buy it.

Airdrop is a free distribution of coins and one way to attract the attention of people who may be interested in their product. For me, it's just a capital increase.

in my opinion, Airdrop is a free distribution of coins from developers who want to promote their goods or coins quickly without much advertising here and there. the function of airdrop is to train us newbie to participate on bounty campaign. So that we are more fluent in working bounty.

Airdrop is very easy way to earn token in less time by doing publicity about the project. If you are lucky enough you can earn money from it in a very easy way, many people even doesn't know about it. Airdrop may be profitable but as well there are many lie airdrop so before you go for it, you must verify the details.

If you want to participate in airdrops then my advice to you is do not do this. It is better to do some more useful work. For example, study mining using pools or farms. Mining is the shortest way to get profit.

Airdrops are morelikely you will receive some tokens from the coin developers to promote the existence of their projects,but most of free airdrops are worthless but few legit airdrops from the existing coins will have more chance to have value if listed in the market,commonly airdrops will require you to signup using your email and bitcointalk account,and if the airdrops requires your private keys or you need to send btc first its morelikely a scam so dont get baited by these free airdrops.

When you join as a member! You will receive some token or altcoin for your job! But i think most of aidrop from token! Because this is a best way to grown up member!

Check diw, for me is the top project and serious people talking about it with very positive commends

Airdrops is nothing but giving away their tokens to the holders of that particular company or who works for the development of that company in crypto world. In simple terms, Airdrop is given by a new company or organisation launched their cryptocurrency before ICO (Initial Coin Offer) Instead of paying currency or bitcoin to them they usually give away their crypto in the form of tokens since their crypto coin is not yet launched in crypto currency listing.

Is a digital currency distribution, we know that there is only one kind of distribution of bitcoins, that is, mining. However, the later appeared in the cottage coins, fork currency distribution, but not only a mining, such as still empty vote distribution.

Airdrops is design to distribute free or giving rewards like coins or tokens,but i never tried joining airdrops because some says that there are plenty of scams which i am avoiding it ,i want to take care of my account. but one of my friends told me that they earn some coins in airdrop.

Dropping is where you go to do something like signing, posting, promoting, filling in forms, and so on, and then you get rewards, but you need to complete your application when you join.

airdrop for a cryptocurrency is a procedure of distributing tokens by awarding them to existing holders of a particular blockchain currency, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum.Airdrop are profitable  but other are noy because of a scam no one pay us for it.

Airdrop means that the coin is new and want to be introduced to the public and in an airdrop they give away free coins for limited people and sometimes you have to do something like like their twitter profile.

Airdrop is a form of marketing strategy used by ICO to attract more investors or users of their token. It is given to participants for free and the number of tokens received is based on the number of participants or depending on your rank.
There are airdrops whose token are a real thing which give you a very big profit.

Airdrop is free coin distribution. When coin/token creators are ready to publicize their project, they do free coin distribution to take a investors attention.

Airdrop is simply free coins from a certain ICO. They give free tokens to spread out their tokens and make everyone hold their token. With this they can raise more tokens and they can attract more investors. The more people have their token the more investors look into their tokens.

OK, Thanks for answering my question. By now I got enough answers I guess.

Airdrop is single payment of coins for a certain set of lungs of action, aim promoting of ICO and throw-in of coins at a turn.

have you ever heard of giveaways? yes airdrop and giveaways are two things more or less the same, and also airdrop require registration of our biodata, but compared airdrop I prefer to follow bounty campaign

Airdrop is similar to marketing or bounty campaign, just that it is assumed it is FREE. But in reality I don't think airdrop is free,because you will perform simple tasks like tweeting or sharing the developers page before you will be assigns the tokens.

Airdrops are free tokens you get by filling simple form. Some devs do send tokens immediately after you fill the form will some takes 24 hrs. Most of the airdrop tokens are tradable on etherdelta.

this is the team that creates their tokens and assigns a certain number of tokens to all the people in the community for a particular marketing robot, so that everyone has a certain token, but now many of the airdrop are a lie,

good read

hmm this helped me this is a good read

thanks good read

yep this helps good read :)

There is a fake and legit airdrop. Fake airdrop is you submit all your details but didn't receive anything. There are also airdrop form which want to fill in your private key which is an easy way to hack account. But on the positive side in my experience i do receive some legit airdrops and exchange it to cash to  buy needs.

Airdrop is the application of giving away of free coins of some bounty programs or ICO before they will listed in markets.

Dear friends! Here is a nice example of what actually Airdrop is.

https://virtonomica.ru/img/ico/ico-airdrops-visual.png

for me the airdrop is a project where I here shall be the means for growth in a project and to see also other media sosial.

Airdrop is a way of advertising your coin or token by giving it FREE to anyone who meets the criteria you set.

An airdrop will not, in any way, ask for any fund or your private keys.

its when a project decides to give free tokens or coin to their the community members for numbers of reason. it could be for supporting the project or for compensation or for what ever reason it might be. Its normally about getting free token or coin.

As what i understand, just saying and im not an expert here who knows everything., its just an idea pop in my mind why the said project conduct AIRDROP, yes, giving away token! free token! Well, everyone in crypto started as Airdrop Hunters and soon learned that CAMPAIGNS are much better.
let's say the project was new, just planed or just built. who's gonna let it known then? it's us! but  we didn't know anything about this project yet! so that's when the company decides the AIRDROP.  Everyone like everything that's free right? you're going to do requested task in exchange of few free tokens.

which I know Airdrop is a platform that distributes coins for free and delivers in small quotas. its function to enliven the platform. for those of you who like to search for coins for free please follow the existing Airdrop.

airdrop means the coins that drop from air. :)

Airdrop is the way of promoting of project, they offer there project to the social media like twitter,telegram,and facebook , if you sign up the form given you also sphread or you help the project to become succesfull, and you can earn token as a payment of promoting there project, but sad to say that most of airdrop now was spam, airdrop is the best to get token for free all you have to do is by fill up the form and wait the ICO ends and distribution of token, its defend if how many applicant  is qualified

airdrop I think that this is one of the options for the development of the project. Because today ICO is really a very time consuming process that requires legalization, but the project that simply does airdrop I think this is just a wonderful solution, but unfortunately people just use it for bad purposes.

Airdrop is another way to get free tokens. You can find it in Bounty programs almost of every ico. However I think other Bouty program points are more profitable!

Airdrop usually pay instantly, we consider airdrop as work free because most times no work is needed to receive the token or coin.

Airdrop is like a  ticket in a raffle draw. You may  win or you may lose but the good thing about it is you only waste time and effort by signing their application. You don't waste money after all. But as the old saying goes "Time is Gold" so spend your time  wisely.

Airdrop is a free access to encrypted money, which is free of charge, through the bounty or registration information, and the price is not very easy to rise.

I've seen some ICOs have Telegram Airdrop/Bounty bots created for them. Does anyone know where to get one of those bots? Searching around has proven to not yield any results.
