Title: We forgot the meaning of airdrops?
Post by: libert19 on April 04, 2018, 04:59:44 AM
Airdrop means you don't have to do anything to get token/coin.

User just has to fill up some necessary info so that project admins know this guy has participated in airdrop.

What fields should be required?

- Bitcointalk username
- That particular coin/tokens address

And to confirm authencity of accounts admins may ask user to put address somewhere in their bitcointalk profile, that's it.

Now what's really happening.

- make account on site.
- follow and retweet on Twitter/facebook/instagram/medium
- join telegram
- Referral crap (yeah I suck)
- thoughtful comment on Ann thread (you know what happens then)

I have no problem with those tasks but they should not name it airdrop when it's clearly not.

Ps: sorry if it's not serious discussion !?

I do agree with this. Most of them are just a crap right now. I think all of the airdrops right now asks for that requirements. And IMO, its not considered as Airdrop anymore, more like a bounty.
Plus the fact that some of them are just bogus, I have encountered an airdrop that asks for a KYC. LOL  :D

I encountered one project which I think is a fake.  I'm done with all the task and send my referral link to all my social media account.  I am waiting and expecting my airdrops and a week ago they send me email saying that to claim my airdrop award I have to have 20 of their coin in  my wallet.  Of course I don't have any because I am yet to claim my airdrops award.   Do you think this is fair?  Please anybody define airdrops for me.

I agree this problem apparently need to consciously regulate the original meanings of coin production tools :)

Man, it is totally not a serious discussion. At least because airdrop, itself is not a serious kind of "business". You could posted in altcoins or in off-topic treads..

Concerning airdrops, the rules will be more complicated as far people will accept them.
