Airdrops are everywhere every time I am opening my Twitter accounts (yes I got 4 accounts) and it can already be tiresome to participate with all of them because it is difficult to ascertain which of them will have value and which will just remain in the garbage din. I noticed that there are airdrops spread for the purpose of getting referrals to another airdrop...am sure you guys have seen this lately.

Without a good team behind, any project whether using airdrops or not, will just be nothing. A team with a good vision, plans and strategies can pull a coin up in value sooner or later.

Airdrops...airdrops...just a waste of time?

You are a hero member so you should know most of these airdrops are waste of your time,i would rather wait to for few months so i can participate with signature campaigns.Most of these airdrops will require your private keys,and if gave them your keys thats your end.Bounty hunting would be more profitable than these free airdrops.

Airdrops now look more like waste of time.
Because I see a lot of software on twitter and telegram, and automatically fill out the Google form of the Airdrop, then these Airdrops are not worth it, if you're just taking part in an airdrop as a real user. >:(

Indeed, almost all airdrop now is just a waste of time. But why not? at least we got some free tokens and make it a collection in our address hahaha.
But we have to be careful because some airdrop asks us to send a bit eth to pay the sending fee (Most of them are scam)

It is somehow a waste of time but the fact that is free, fair enough. Me myself start on signing-up on the previous airdrops that give me a little bit of funds to start but now as I'ved observed most of them are just gathering information from the participants. Just be careful, somebody might been watching you  ;)

Airdrop may be a real waste of time, but some will still get you a coin, will not you? The premise is that you need to find a reliable team and project, otherwise it is really a waste of time.

Yeah you're right, airdrops today is just a waste of time, I'd  had a lot of airdrops participated but most of these tokens are no value, but we don't know, maybe in the future they have value, and some of it need a donations to participate which is very obvious to scam.

Their already huge amount , I was probably in 100 pieces and only one of them brought a good profit . So a huge do not spend your time on this

Just a waste of time for sure. Not sure how many of them are still paying good. Even if they give token, the problem will still be if it has a value at the end.

AIRDROP still worth of time, some token maybe a waste of time or scam but there still some of it that are really great and give you good income in short time. Just make all airdrops and it will soon pay you nicely.
Airdrop is just a minute or less to do and fill up, signature campaigns are mostly taking a month or more but people still do the bounty, yet some of the campaigns are a scam and you wasted a month and continue joining campaigns. So a minute or 2 will not be a waste of time comparing on a month you lose.

Where do you sell the new airdrop token? because if i'm not wrong etherdelta won't list a new token for free again and i'm sure airdrop project won't pay for that. I'm curious about it because it's been a long time since I last join an airdrop. Actually it's easy to notice a scam project so it's not that hard to avoid it and join some legitimate project.

I haven't participated on airdrops lately because some of them don't really distribute their tokens. I understand that you need to comply though because they are free. I was also discourage to participate because some of them requires donation which looks really a scam to me.

I don't think its waste time, cause you don't need to work hard for it, just follow like share and fill the forum, so you can join every airdrops,  nothing waste here if any airdrop rising like rebel.

Most of airdrops are scams indeed but i don't think it's fully wasting time as it only takes 1-2 minutes to fill the form. Most of them are have no value but some of them are gems. I got more than $400 worth ETH through REBL and BTCR especially REBL. After the airdrop finished distributing, REBL listed on Bit-z no more than two weeks. I'm usually avoid airdrops that requiring donation.

REBL is definitely an outlier but u can still get loose change out of some of them. Most of them won't even be worth spending gwei for selling on ED though.

Is spending a very few minutes for getting free tokens waste? I understand most of the airdrop are scams but if the coin really reaches a good amount at some point of time it will really earn you. Just wasting a few minutes of a day will not earn you anything  :( If we really participate in most of the airdrops some will help us out and most will not but getting free tokens for doing really nothing is really good as sometime or the other they may give good results.

I don't join airdrops or being engaged with it but this is new to me.

They are upgrading for increasing their referrals and this is also a good awareness raise for airdroppers out there.

No good market cap = worthless.

Sometimes it is for useless projects but there are times that it is a blessing in disguise for others.

There are worthy airdrops btw, remember Polymath? They've just recently had theirs, but you need to get verified by ID to participate.

At the current moment the bounty is a good way to unleash the ICO. Until we come up with something simpler and cheaper, the bounty will work. Given that this is a way to earn - I support

In the airdrop can be lucky. In this case, you will get a good profit, but I think it is irrational to spend a considerable part of my time on airdrops, if you count the average income from them too little.

I had been participating in airdrops for one month and I got nothing) I think it is a waste of time.

You answered your question OP. Airdrops are a waste of time if the team is not good enough however if you invested in a strong coin with an awesone team with a great roadmap then the airdrops are definitely worth it.

I got tired too and also they got more complicated now. They need you to join not just twitter but facebook, discord and some even requires a reddit account. Another reason I stopped because long ago, I joined 20 of them in a span of one week and I get nothing in return.

It's starting to be overhelming but i'll keep doing them on interesting project

I feel so. More and more airdrops have a variety of requests ... Sometimes these free coins are not that easy to get and I am getting more and more disappointed.

This is really disappointing. I do not like airdrop now. Because it's not sure if it will be as promised. This makes more and more people prefer bounties.

Too many airdrops so, of course, the quality drop sharply in term of value. Though, I don't think it was a waste of time as you said. If you lucky, hit the jackpot with very high-value airdrops and that was a chance too. If not, still something right?

That's why I don't do Airdrops, i still prefer joining bounties,those seems legit since I want that something came from work.  Those free tokens from Airdrops we cant really guaranteed just risk our profile.

for myself I just catch a little airdrop which I think is nice and ignores the airdrop that is not clear.

So what are the best airdops out there?

I believe that some are having a very good potential and some aren't really worth your time , even if it's a few minutes...

most airdrops theese days are scam,, I joined a lot, about 30++, but only 2 sent the coin to my wallet..
I think we should be carefull enough where to store our data, as I think a lot of airdrops only wants people to send their data without any intention to send the coin..

I think we better focuss ourself with high profile bounty campaign..

Agree. Any way if you do not have a good team and promote a bad one can make a good project fail in the middle of the road.

hard to find a good airdrop. most airdrops are indeed only with referal links. i found a few ones with no referal who are a proper airdrop but it is very hard to keep up.

so many of them right now

I used to try to make money on this, but this only gives you a pile of unnecessary letters in the mail, which are then sent to spam, so of course there is always a chance to collect some kind of altcoin, but it is very small.

After a good initial start, there were not too many good airdrops in December. Now in January I found a few nice ones again.

It is not true that "the most of them require private key". Actually there were only a few phishing airdrops, and you should just avoid them. Nobody should ask you for your private key. It's called "private" for a reason. Actually most of them warn you not to enter your private key in the public key address bar.

The trick is to avoid spending too much time on filling forms and you can start by avoiding those without a good bitcointalk thread or at least a very good web page, then obvious phishing attacks, and those that ask you to react very quickly (just 100 participants.....). The latter are usually made just for pump and dump purposes and it is quite impossible to get them.

There are a few nice telegram chats and pages all around that you can use to keep track of airdrops without loosing too much time on searching yourself. If you want, I can post you some links here.

Airdrops are a legit way of distribution and many serious projects use them wisely, very often combining them with ICOs.

If you have some free time you can part in airdrops, one of the filled airdrop will be pumped in the future and you can profit 1kusd, for example i remember ebtc and sugar exchange tokens

Airdrop use to be valuable,but lately most are just data collector and scammers,everyone got to be careful,if you still airdrop hunting,better create a wallet mainly for airdrop.

Airdrops looks for me like waste of time. To fill the form takes 2 minutes. To find good one may take a week. Maybe good for students or scoolboys to start with tons of free time. Maybe someone now good resourse for good airdrops info?

I think airdrop are a really good oportunity to make some extra cash without much effort, just fill the from and you are good to go.

I agree. because sometimes we can find a valuable airdrop in the market. so why not?
but more than that, there are plenty of airdrops that are just a waste of time. because at the end we found that they are worthless.

airdrops are everywhere but I think airdrops are loss of time. because many of them are scam and they do not promise. almost all of the incoming tokens from airdrops are worthless.

Yes, in most case I still looking for a decent aidrop.
Recently a community based token like rebellious had a good aidrop and that the one time only aidrop will ever commenced for that token, so far its one of the great aidrop i get and if you notice another airdrop that massively shill by twitter was genesis from msp, i think that kind of aidrop will get you decent btc.

Those form that required Private key is a literally Scam.
Remember Airdrop is a form given by the developer to distribute token who fill-up those form. And not all Airdrops is Waste of time.

The problems of airdrop is when you participate you don't know if you are really accepted or not also the most of time exist many tokens without any value and you can't sell them when you want

I don't know, I never got lucky with airdrops. I have participated dozens of them and almost never caught anything valuable. I know it is just my luck but I already gave up with airdrops. Mostly focusing on bounties at the moment.

Only wallet address is required to join in the airdrop, privatekey is for yourself. how dumb these people are giving their privatekey to join in the crap airdrop. Only some airdrop worth a lot with serious development just like decred but this time it has been turned into the shady business to scam more and more people to buy such scam fee coin.

Waste of time imo. You can get lucky, but long term, you'll be better off spending your time doing other things.

Don't waste your valuable time before Airdrop. Maximum Airdrop coins are valueless . I spent a lot of time for Airdrop but now I am doing signature campaign and bounties. I think you may join bounty campaigns  and try to avoid Airdrops. Good Luck

Majority are a waste of time, but some are good. If you have lots of time to spare filtering all the crap ones out then go ahead. I prefer to spend time picking a good project and doing a standard bounty. It involves more work but the time spent doing bounty work for a good reward rather than researching through scammy airdrops is about the same.

Yes, I absolutely agree, there are indeed a lot of airdrops of all kinds that we see today in the crypto world. But if this is a lot of time, then out of 100 options, I think maybe 5-10 options will really be worth something. But everything else is likely to remain like garbage in your wallet.

i do airdrop even though a lot of them are scam but there are still some airdrop worthy of time to spend. if you are lucky you can earn small profit or you can earn big. just don't join airdrop requiring donation or your private info.

I agree with you, much better to joined in signature campaign and get their token because as a bounty hunter would be more profitable rather than following some airdrops. And many of them are Scam, they don't fulfilled their promises, so be careful and don't waste your time for that.

Mind giving me some example of successfull airdrop you have been a part of ? I see a lot of those airdrop here, but majority of them seems to be garbage. I wonder if it's just because those projects are in their infancy or just because they are truly garbage.

Finding a good airdrop and getting accepted is really challenging

Those people who get token from airdrop are so lucky, I try to join in airdrop before but i didn't get any token, for now im just focus on bounty campaign because it is much sure than to join airdrop.

Look for coins that have their own blockchain doing an airdrop. They will ask you to download their wallet and ask for the public address.

If it's a token in ethereum blockchain, then most likely it's a useless one. Unless it has a roadmap, that tokens will be swappable once mainnet is launched.
 

some airdrops can be worth it like Rebl but most of the time you get some free tokens but it's more expensive to get them to an exchange then they are worth.

For instance I participated in the Aelf airdrop. I received 1 Elf token. If I transfer it to an exchange there isn't going to be much left to sell I guess :-)

Yes. Most of then are what they so called shitcoins. But it is also the reason why we have to join airdrop. Why? Because you can't choose which is the valuable among them. About sending private keys, that's is too obvious that you must not entrusted that, even you are a beginner. Joining airdrops will take small amount of time. You can do bounty hunting and airdrop at the same time. It will not hurt to join one as long as you are having limits on it

Airdrop now are waste of time and they don't really pay.  Most airdrops I see now are forms of referral system, that's a real waste of time. And the ones that are not referrals are either shitcoins or they ask participants to donate to their projects.

I never get into project which is having the airdrops. The concept of airdrops is just a shit thing I have ever seen. I mean most of the % of your ICO tokens goes waste into the airdrops. You don’t get any publicity from that at all and the tokens are just piled up by hunters. Once the ICO hits exchangers then these are people who sell everything at the first moment clans kill the whole market. The fun is taken out, investors are abandoned, and airdrops sucks.

yes airdrops really everwere but all of its usually scam. i usually joined onle 2-3 airdrop in a day

I think it's not wasting our time but it depends upon us if we like it or not.Because i'm doing airdrop then they give me token after how many weeks i filled up their form.It's worth it and not difficult to sign up but not all airdrops will give you token which i think most of an airdrop was 40% will give you token for granted.

I'll tell you this: that if you do not regret that you have paid very little in the Airdrope or in the bounty, you first see what kind of project it is, and then decide whether to enter into it or not. because many enter into different projects only because of the desire to get something for free, and then complain that little ...

If you participated in 100 air drops and 1 of them turned out to be a gem... would it be worth it? We all know the answer.

I only do some rare airdrops that might have a chance to be worth it. Most of them now are scams or useless shitcoins that will never get any value.

Indeed there is. You can join the DIW Token Airdrop now available at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2682890 

This ICO is doing so well right now, 5000 members loyal members in the group and channel and the support team is doing there upmost to help all members of its community.

I don't think that expecting good and big things from the airdrops is logic. Because, in my opinion, there is no doubt that many of the airdrop coins are just useless and waste of time.

not all garbage, but most of them are garbage
there are a lot of airdrop hunters  maybe they do to look for additional income and that's reasonable ...
if it is useful for you so just do it !
but if not then ignore it !

Airdrops can still be profitable, you just need pick the promising ones.

These airdrops are every where but you may face some scams because more of these airdrops are just scams. I take part in these airdrops because sometimes you may get beneficial coins from them.

Airdrops nowadays are mostly no value and only few have been listed into an exchange and the rest are just a trash coin. Its just a waste of time but joining airdrop is only free so its up to you if you will continue to join an airdrop to try your luck in getting free money.

Most airdrops now a days are not working or not worth it in spending much time because they are only a free token could give to participants or can be a shittoken in quite sometimes. Unlikely in past years that airdrops are considering as one of the beautiful procedure in earning tokens depends on how big or smalls as long as they worth giving in a participants.

I am only very selective in joining airdrops. I only joined very few  of them to avoid waste of time. Particularly, I am only joining those tokens which are with ongoing ICO Sale and are with bounty campaigns. Better focus our time and efforts to the things that are more profitable. :)

     Good then. Well in my case, I really have avoided airdrops long time ago since the start of the airdrops requiring personal information that are completely irrelevant with the airdrop or the project that they are running. Although at times they were relevant, I never really cared since my personal information is so much more valuable than that. Although if ever I would get to see some great airdrops that have promising ideologies and great devs without requiring me to give personal info and referrals just to earn, then I would gladly join. I honestly wouldn't mind doing easy jobs like sharing posts, liking pages and all.

At the current moment the bounty is a good way to unleash the ICO. Until we come up with something simpler and cheaper, the bounty will work. Given that this is a way to earn - I support
