How to know if the airdrop you joined is LEGit or not?

I'm not sure if this will make you easy to decide which legit airdrop but the majority of airdrop look crap in this time. There will be no more airdrop will become a legit project in the future just like decred. As you can see the majority of airdrop right now doesn't provide the business plan that makes sense. They are having only interest to raised a lot of money.
But look at the whitepaper and business plan.

It is hard to tell if eardrop is really legitimate or a scam. There are companies or projects that started good and end up losing in the end so probably they won't be able to pay for eardrops and instead cancels the entire project. Maybe you need to look at the company details, their reputation, the website the airdrop is being facilitated, the persons behind it, and the fedback from thise who have been into the site and have particpated in the air drop

I think it's hard enough to know the legit airdrop. maybe you can learn the masterplan and roadmap airdrp, where if the work program implemented according to the roadmap, I think this is quite promising.

Not sure if there is a way since I fill up everything besides the donation part  ;D Someone says that don't participate on airdrops that is asking for donation because one reason you are joining an airdrop is it is free so why donate?


Are you really paying for airdrops? As far as I know it is free so why pay? Or probably you are participating on those send 0 ETH with gas fee?

For me if the airdriop are legit no TXhash of the form and no donation and the telegram are updated.

since airdrop was free giveaway so there is no risk to doing this thing, Legit or not its just like gamble with your luck IMO. dont take airdrop so serrious just participate it when you feel it is right and not wasting your time.
the most important thing in airdrop is dont give our pv key, not giving any donation unless you confidence and support with their project.

actually we cant say this airdrop is legit or not until it received to our wallet. but please do not give your private key to the form. if they asking the private key of the wallet definitely it will be scam one.

It's really hard to know if an airdrop is legit or a scam. Airdrops basically gives us free coins with minimun amount of work or sometimes non at all. But most of the airdrops today are non-profitable or has very low value. Just avoid airdrops that you feel uncomfortable participating in, and also be wary of airdrops that asks for your personal information it might be a scam.

It is difficult to know if the airdrop is legit or not before it happens.  You're just going to have to apply for it and then find out later because many airdrops do not last that long.  Many times I have seen airdrops get full within hours so there is not enough time to research it.

What do you mean by legit? Airdrop is free, you do not need to pay for it so it should be legit as long as you join the 100% free airdrop. No matter how much is the value of the coins/tokens, as long as they do not ask you to pay some eth or ask you to provide private key then it is legit.
If your main point by legit is something related to the value then no one knows about it.

I don't bother with Airdrops for exactly this reason, unless they are of course from an established Crypto i.e WAVES recent BCH Airdrop.

You pay with giving them your information...

They pay you a shitcoin, you give them your name, address, gmail account (google sheets), and dick size..

They then do with it whatever they want.

We don't know since the free token were scheduled to receive long days after filling up the form, it is quite unnecessary to determine how will it matters so we just need to ask the developers if they will make it legit when they give it.

Well, besides wasting time, as long as you are not giving the airdropper personal information, your private key or money, there isn't so much to lose. But as others have said before me, things to lookout for in a non-scam project are: a real team with experience, a reasonable roadmap, a whitepaper, the coin/token addresses a real need (so it isn't useless). If you consider all of these things and use your head, you should be able to avoid scams are plain old garbage projects.

I think it's very difficult to know if the airdrop is legal. Even if you study the road map and the project team, it will not guarantee its validity. In addition, you will spend a very long time. It will take much longer than just filling out the form of this airdrop. I believe that you should not make those airdrops where you are asked to indicate your private key.These are exactly scammers. The rest of the airdrops just need to be done.

If the project has a clear direction of where it's heading at and plus it's got some purpose then usually it is legit.

But these sort of airdrops are rare and usually will require you to hold an amount of some other existing altcoin or bitcoin. That's not an airdrop since you need your own money but they do still call it a snapshot, or an airdrop.

Just be warned though, most airdrops are indeed going to be ones that are trying to get your email or whatnot. Not going to be worth it to invest your time in those. Better off actually investing money into better projects.

to be honest let me say early on so you do not tergermuh in airdrop only if you know airdrop no legit they give you coin with the allocation of so much coin but participants up to tens of thousands you surely only get a little and not beharga, not only that airdrop also can be said as a price destroyer. so you should not play airdrop again because I do not think there is legit.

When you participate in airdrop, there is no tasks assigned. This has made some folks to gamble with it and take whatever comes out.
Deciding if an airdrop is legit is of less concern because you have noting to loss.

well, I guess airdrop is rare for legit.
even now I'm not too follow the airdrop project that has no concept and road map.

Its simple if airdrop needed to pay you some eth just for donation or need to pay this for some shit just stay away from that remember this all airdrops are free their not needed to be payed

Honestly it is hard to know if the airdrop is legit and helpful, as I can see there are many airdrop in this forum and most of them are fake or a scam.
Yes be careful on what the information you give because maybe you can be hacked.

The only way to know if airdrop is legit when you see that there's no report about it. And also you can know if airdrop is legit when you see that there is an approval from the highest rank.

it is difficult to determine, that the end result is usually after entering the exchange. but most airdrop does not have a good concept, if the airdrop project does not have a road map and white paper. chances are, the airdrop will have no value.

when tokens have a price and is is traded is exchange then airdrop is legit. knowing if airdrop is legit or not is a less concern but airdrop requiring donation or fees are not legit for me.

I think you just need to join and fill the form according to the airdrop project. just wait until the token is shared, after which you wait to get in on the exchange, but the average lot of airdrop has no value.

since there are too many airdrop forms, we don't give time on knowing if they are legit or not but there are a few hints when an airdrop is legit but is not promising. you just have to know the people behind it. some community which are serious about their project tend to be transparent about their identity. because of this transparency, people can trust on the community and therefore increase people joining the community and with this, the token/coin will have it's name to people and start circulating depending on the developers.

It is not that easy to know about the valid Airdrop. You can do some "r&d" for a particular airdrop project to find it legit or not. You can also join telegram group for more information so that you may get valid airdrops.

There are no direct indications about the legitimacy of airdrops, only by taking part and giving your data you will understand what they are, many use your personal data to obtain information and the theft of your data, this functionality should not be within the law but only on your trust.

You can only say that its legit when you already received the token but its hard to tell if its legit or not. Though its a free token, you still need to be careful when joining airdrop specially when giving your personal details cause you might get hacked on that.

No, and if it is possible, it will take too much time. It's easier to get an airdrop and see the result then than to think about such things.

Well, you have to get to know the project doing the airdrop more. You have to make some kind of a due diligence. Basically, it is the same process as getting to know an ICO whether it is legit or not. Because an airdropped coin and a coin offered in an ICO are both new coins which are being introduced by a certain project. So what you will do to know whether the coin is valuable or not is to carefully examine the project. You have to scrutinize the very important details. You have to know the team who put up such project.

Tell me if you know about legit airdrop. i don't need to regist myself of course to all airdrop that available only that legit enough. Lol.

So far i've never read or get any suggest from someone. Hope i will get that knowledge here.

It's hard to tell until the tokens have actually been distributed.  You can mitigate risks by doing research on the team involved, reading the whitepaper, and seeing how well thought out the overall project is before deciding to sign up for an airdrop.

mostly just join airdrops and don't read or learn about the project because don't want to waste time just for small amount free token. because most of airdrops are valueless. it's hard to find a legit airdrops.

You can know if the airdrop is legit when it has require referrals, no donations and they require registered email to their websites to sign up their forms.

Who manage of airdrop or called devs have a rules for airdrop including preparation of project,If do you think that devs post a thread that gives apllication form for free and active on social and website have non malicious info like link or visual bad codes affect for application is considered free to join, but if you encounter devs need amount to whos joining it is not consider airdrop and that persons was making any amount and get to scam our participants gives fee to get token.

Before interacting with any new cryptocurrency, it is always essential that you do your research and believe in the vision behind the technology. Keep an eye out for scams and remember that a legitimate project has no reason to ask for your private information.

Honestly the time you could spend researching the team, the project, the roadmap and so on, you could just sign up for other 3 airdrops at least! It's an airdrop, you're not going to invest in an ICO. Consider this, and be wary of projects that ask documents for a simple airdrop, you don't want to give away your passport for a couple of dimes!

Now the ICO carried out a airdrop I guess this is the norm , I think it is good for the market ,that of the funds there are many people

Many possible ideas and basis if  its legit or not because we can do research at the same time focused to read their whitepaper and roadmap.Then tried to joined the telegram because a lot of information and asking question will be answer as long as you are in active.Many things would be considered and we take a look that it is our decission making.And we have free to joined an ICO so choosed what is the best for you for the success ICO.

You basically can’t tell if it’s legit before hand. It’s normally much quicker to just go for it and if it’s legit it should payout. Nevertheless it’s the subscription process you need to pay attention to. If it requires you to give them info which you are not comfortable with, give it a pass. It private keys are demanded then no go. If you are required to create an account on a given website then consider if it’s worth while.

Lately airdrops are of all sorts: some offer a reasonable amount of tokens, while some are down to just one or two tokens/coins. Others look more like a traditional bounty campaign than an airdrop, requesting multiple tasks to be performed.
This week I have seen one that offers 0,002 eth; not worth even the minimal effort.

We cannot really know if the airdrop is legit or scam but you can avoid to join an scam airdrop by checking there website, roadmap and people behind the project if you notice that the project are something fishy so you can avoid joining them.

It is hard to determine if the airdrop you joined is Legit. There are lots of scammer circulating in the internet asking for donations to be able to send you and airdrop the afterwards if they had already got those donations they would just suddenly disappear. We have to check first and foremost the website they have provided and check on the whitepaper as well as the background of the people who controls that particular coin. With that i think it would help a bit to know the identity of the airdrop but of course it would not guaranteed us that it is really legit. We do still need to be careful in joining airdrops.

First, of all see if they really have a good project. If the project they are proposing is really that great see next the team of developers who will be carrying out the said project. If the developers and the project is good then it's ok. There's nothing wrong in doing airdrops just stay away from identity verification like government ID.

Whitepaper should be the first thing to give an insight of how legitimate a project is and the percentage  of tokens meant for the airdrop can hint on the legitimacy of a project.

c'mon airdrop is free money. you can't expect much for free stuff. everyone knows that airdrops usually is made just for advertisement, so a project can attract more money.

Unfortunately it's generally hard to tell just by viewing the airdrop itself. The airdrop is most likely legit if the ICO itself isn't a scam. Due to that, you'd probably need to conduct basic due diligence. If they aren't a scam and you don't receive your tokens, they should have a support staff whom can assist further.

Airdrop is a win win situation
All you need is fill forms, finish
If you are lucky the coins might be worth a few bucks in future, if it is not, you ve got nothing to lose friend.

Airdrop is a simple opportunity to gain small or high profit so sometimes there are many scam or fake airdrops spreading all over the community. How to avoid fake airdrop? You can access the contract address of that coin in etherscan.io then check if the supply is legit and can airdrop hundreds of people. Then you should check the roadmap of the project for you tell and determine the reason why theyre implementing such airdrops.

No good plan in many of airdrop make them very high scam and just want to collect money like you said.
So join airdrop is only when we are free because if you use your tite time to work on airdrop, you will be regret by missing other good job.

it's hard to tell if it is legit since nowadays, it's easy to copy and edit photos for their project. One obvious way to tell if an airdrop is legit is when they ask for you to pay something to them. Airdrop is free.

I do not bother with airdrop, if I have free time I always follow without thinking about this good or not.
Airdrop is free, nothing is hard just do it as much as you can.

Before interacting  with any new cryptocurrency. it is always essential that you do your research and believe  in the vision behind the technology.  Keep an eye out for scams and remember that a legitimate project  has no reason to ask your private information. Airdrops can be an exciting way to learn more about project, and may even be your  next big investment. just make sure to be smart about your involvements, and always go  the extra mile to keep your data safe.

For me? You should have to check it twice for you to know that the airdrop that you wanted is a legit. Also? By checking it to the best security app so that for you to be not a victim.

I don't think about airdrops so much. I just do it as much as I can. Only if need KYC or number of phone I will think about legitimacy. In another way I don't care is it scam or not.

I think that there is no definite indicator on what determines whether Airdrop is legal. I think that the procedure is the same as when choosing a bounty campaign. If you check the upcoming project and be sure of its success, then participation in airdrop will bring you profit.

Airdrops from unknown companies or anonymous developers often useless. Moreover, you can become a victim of phishing by providing your personal data.
Examine the website and the proposed product, roadmap and whitepaper to increase the chances of legit airdrop.

whitepaper and roadmap, and a website with a really dedicated workforce. You already have an idea when you examine them.

I think to see the airdrop is legit or not by looking at the project plan, team and total supplay coin, if the team and the project is good, then almost certainly the airdrop is legit

Do research about the project. Some airdrop nowadays are fake. Be sure to avoid those fake ones. They are just collecting informations and some are just asking for donation.

This is one of the most authentic method of distinguishing between legit airdrop and the airdrop which is not legit. Those who ask you for making certain payments, they are juts scammers and are there to take away your hard earned money by showing you huge profits and giving false hopes.

I don’t think so much people are joining airdrops now for making profit in the world of crypto currencies. Everyone is after signature campaigns.

It is very difficult to know that Airdrop is legit or not.
I think Legit airdrops have always proper site, whitepaper, bounty program and genuine team and if you found it is good then fill out the airdrop form.
And If Airdrop don't have such things and if they want some ether for the gas value to transfer coins into your account, then may be it was scam.
So be careful every time, when you fill out the form.

Look at the background of the project. Do not just immediately jump into it because it is giving away free coins or tokens. That is not important. What is important is that your coin or token has worth. So instead of using your entire time looking for an airdrop all the time, focus on reading the project's whitepaper or their website. You have to know whether the project is composed of a credible and experienced team, whether they already have existing partners, whether they have the capacity to launch a crypto project. If they pass all these, then join. 

You can'y know if a airdrop is 100% legit.We can only look for more information about airdrop:website,facebook,reddit,telegram,discord and for sure whitepaper and roadmap.

Now it's really hard to understand whether it's worth taking part in this or that airdrop and understanding which one will pay free coins. In any case, we take no risks, except for our personal information.

Follow the official fanpage, channel to get news about airdrop, giveaway. Many fake airdrops are made each day and you need to recheck before joining.

Personally, i usually observe the means of distribution, read all the information media of Airdrop, i look for references in social media, (Twitter), and finally the main one of all that is hardly scam, is to look at the upper left corner of the (Airdrop) website and if owning a green padlock generates more confidence.( It means the site is paid for and licensed properly).

Heres my list of a good bounty:
-high rank bounty manager
-good and quality bounty post
-regular distribution of the stakes
-easy access to bounty manager
-many participants
These are my list of a good bounty for me, you can notice some of the bounties dont have many reply but they have many views.
But of course this is only for me, there are many experienced bounty hunter than me.

It`s quite difficult to find out if a crypto project is legit or not - it`s more important in case of ICO because you pay for the tokens and less important in case of airdrop since you`re supposed to receive some tokens for free. So, FREE is the keyword here, never pay for an airdrop and never donate for a project which promise an airdrop. You`ll be safe as long as you don`t download and install some unknown wallet and don`t visit phising websites clicking on spam emails you receive (because you`ll definitely receive plenty after you register for some airdrops). Also, if you have time, you can check the team behind the project (stay away if their Linkedin profiles are newly created), read about what people say about the project (be careful, it is probably a scam if it has 100% good feedback), see if the token has a real use cases and indeed need a blockchain.

For me, to know legit airdrop is the high rank member who posted airdrop, their ICO still running and has a promising project for the future. If you see a newbie posted only airdrop without their projects that's 90% scam and the 10% are legit but they give you a cents worth of token.
