Title: The airdrop dilemma
Post by: torrihuff on February 18, 2018, 04:45:55 PM
Over the holiday break I did approximately 80 airdrops.

I went out and checked each one that I completed over the last few days and the results were pathetic.  Almost every single one was a scam and is worth 0.  The few that stuck around had "speed" swaps where you had limited time to swap and even those are worth next to nothing. 

Seems as though trading may be a more profitable way about making money in the crypto world.  Did I hit a bad stretch there?  Anyone having airdrop success in late 2017 - early 2018?

Well, it depends. If you are in bad ICO, you may not get anything. But there are other profitable ICO airdrop like Pundix . I have been part of PundiX airdrops, I reaping the profits.

Yes, i had some successful ones like Rebl, BTW, STK and couple of few others. Although airdrop can be so frustrating  and time wasting. Notwithstanding, you can still get some good ones among them.

Someone suggested this strategy a few months bank and I rightly predicted that it wouldn't be worth your time and loss of privacy. I think the point here is that, those who somehow ended up being part of a good airdrop would probably have had to spend a lot of time and effort anyway... would it have been worth it? If you like playing with luck and gambling, sure why not?

I think airdrops are like any crypto project. Invest time in the ones you believe in. If it works out, good for you. And the time period you're looking at is years... not months.

Most of the airdrop i have done seem to be scam, except for some. I prefer bounty to airdrop. The difference is just clear. I have even decided to leave airdrop for bounty as well as trading.

Airdrop are good as long your in a legitimate company. They will deliver what they promise and they have value that people wants. They are their to solve a problem and that whats a company is for. Good luck to your venture on getting more airdrops.

Airdrops are scams and they're only after for your information and efforts.
There is no such thing as free money today.
Instead, try to join signature bounty campaigns and at the same time join almost all Facebook, Twitter and Telegram Bounty Campaigns with just one account because you can do it all at once but it all depends on your time.
I prefer on joining signature bounty and Telegram campaigns than wasting my time and efforts on Airdrops.
I turn my back away on Airdrops since early last year.

The best airdrops of last 2 months were Polymath, Theta, Shipchain and Coinfi.

 And it's not too late, try register in one more promising project - Current Airdrop. This project decided to cancel ICO and will distribute their tokens by airdrop. This is a very cool project, but I'm not sure if there are still free places for new participants.

Did several airdrops and earn a lot. BTW, POLY, HAT, UCASH, REBEL and many others. They gave some of what I have right now(my mining rig and a small portion of Bitcoin) and continues to do airdrops as long as you won't give them your private keys. Not all are worthless just like what I have stated.

I don't do airdrops. I earned most of my coins to bounties and trading. As your post says, you are joining a very bad airdrops. check their project, ann or whitepapers first before joining. then look or the less look scam.

Joining these free airdrops isnt worth the hassle,you better participate in social media bounty campaigns which you will receive some tokens that has more potential to grow,your only job is to promote the ICO using your social media accounts facebook and twitter account would be enough,accomplish the task everyweek and you will receive your stakes at the end of the campaign,you have atleast more chance to have a good amount of money using the stakes you have received.

Above your lists only I have got the rebel and hat these seems are good. So many airdrops and most of them are scam no future at all. Best is to search before joining the best airdrop these days, but for me I stop hunting airdrop because all coins from airdrop I have was just a displayed in my wallet.

Most people just joined airdrops campaign just for the sake of it, if a project lacks good community and substance it will have no value, I don't think people need to be complaining about Airdrop price since it is free, all you do is just to fill a form. Next time check the quality of the project before joining them

Joining airdrop is like betting in Lotto, you may win or you may waste your time and effort. About 100 % of all airdrop around 5% of it will have a good value. Now it is up to you if you want to bet on 5% probability or make your time and effort in other profitable way like bounty or trading.

airdrop participants is not an actual investors and people basically not lost their money because usually they get airdrop tokens for free indeed most of them expect will get decent money from airdrop but indeed the results still depend on how far we able to find successfully project and the price of those coins will be so high after got listed on the exchange but in my opinion airdrop participants doesn't good for the coins itself because after they got those coins they will more likely sold it and dumped it

Well it might have been a bad streak and you were just unlucky but i think you're right for the most part.  A lot of airdrops are scammy and just don't give enough to go off of.

Why are you wasting your precious time to these free airdrops? while you can participate social bounty campaigns,which will give you more chance to have free money from nothing instead of wasting your time with free drops start participate in social media campaigns,you will only be required to use your social media accoutns like fb and twitter account to promote these ICOs,then you will get your tokens after the ICO which you can trade with bitcoin or ethereum.


Title: Re: The airdrop dilemma
Post by: CryptRoller on February 18, 2018, 07:37:54 PM
I can only add to what has been said before.
And considering the time you spend on airdrops (80+ still takes some time) I wonder if participating in 5 bounties wouldn't get you more result, costing you about the same time.
Try to find a bounty campaign that is well organised, has a professional website and a solid whitepaper. Then check if there is a community (telegram, twitter, etc).
If you find such a bounty in it's early stages, you'll have a better chance making money.

Nor should you.  That goes very much against the spirit of what crypto means.

On the other hand, those places are probably good airdrops and are among a minority that actually pay out.  I've never participated in an airdrop and never will.  It's too much like claiming from faucets or gambling.   Too much effort and risk, and the chance of payout is very slim.  Not for me.  If only everyone in the altcoin section valued their time and sanity as much as I do.

You people keep getting taken over and over by essentially the same scam, just dressed up in a different wig every time.  Smarten up.

That is why it it free, me too have applied on some airdrop and just tried. Whenever I apply on an airdrop I don't expect anything. However, some airdrops are worth it. I was able to get a good coin from an airdrop and held it since then, it's price is continuing to grow. The best way for you to not to get hurt is just to apply for an airdrop and do not expect anything.

Checking the quality of an airdrop campaign is the necessary thing to do if you want to have a good profits.
Only stupidity doesn't want the profits or want to get the trash after working .
Complaining about airdrop price looks very weird because i knew some guys make a lots of money from only airdrop.

There are some gems you can rarely find in airdrops. For example I partecipated in both the HAT airdrop and BTW one, but those are only 2 between the almost 100 airdrops I got into in late 2017.

Now I stopped doing them because it's pretty much a waste of time to get into because there is a really super low chance that the project turns out to be good.

i think that is the problem with eth ,  it is way to easy to create a useless token. they just create it in the hope it is gonna be worth something , also way to many multiple accounts in these airdrops.

You should be doing bounties instead of joining these free airdrops because they are all unworthy tokens,most of these tokens wont make in in a single exchanges but the tokens you will receive from the bounties has more potentials because they are morelikely one step away from exchanges,the developers of these ICOs are has mo chance to be accepted in exchanges.

Title: Re: The airdrop dilemma
Post by: hansbans on February 18, 2018, 09:38:48 PM
The biggest problem with airdrops is not being given the promised money. You are trying your luck and you are participating. If you are lucky, your money is deposited in your wallet a few months later.
But in general the gain is minimal :)

Post by: coinlocket$ on February 18, 2018, 09:45:30 PM
You right man a big part of free airdrops are scams but some of the are not, you can find some Free airdrop here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0,
However pay attention some of the are cleary scam, with strange link, don't download strange files.
Generally free airdrop posted by trusted people are trusted airdops, airdrop posted by copper users are trust, airdop posted by low rank is hard to tell but use the rule, if they ask eth, leave the airdrop good companies don't need your 0.01eth to increase their value!

Different thing is airdop for bounty. They are generally more trusted but you can be scammed even here.
The biggest free airdrop joined gives to me around 20$

Airdrops are completely free so you can do as many airdrops as you want.

If you want to choose the best airdrops then you have to do research before airdrops so that you get only the best airdrops.

Tokens from airdrops take some time to have its value. It is obvious that airdrop is for free, you can have it easily. But if it's taking you so much time to register and participate in an airdrop, then it's not worth it for me.
I have joined some good airdrops last year but a good airdrop is just 10% or less to the total airdrop existed, imo.

You need to work smart not only work hard. This is also one of the rules on cryptocurrencies.
Filtering those airdrop is very important than just filling out any airdrop link you see but its worth nothing. It will only waste your time.

Like this week even i only found out 8 airdrops and only landing 2 airdrops coin. But now it price reaches total $50

Thank you for that, it was actually my first! I think people have really forgotten how long it took for Bitcoin to get recognized, and even after almost ten years it still has to fight for every inch of recognition and acceptance, even after millions have adopted it for its use of non-trust based peer to peer transactions. Now with people getting rich from quick ICO schemes that haven't even brought any notable change, people seem to demand for quick results. Time. Effort. Crypto is not different from any project that requires love and attention.

Well, it's good to join recommended airdrops. search for a project with good bounties.
Be alert with scammers, check before joining them.
Ask for someone if they know an airdrop cause i know that inviting someone has additional token.
It'll be a win win situation for the both of you.
