Bitcoin Forum

So i heard a lot about these terms but confused exactly what these mean.  So basically if you own any btc or any altcoin, you could participate in these?  So basically it requires very little money or does it require no money at all for something like this.  I read about how ppl do certain things like post links on facebook and social media etc and then they get rewarded or something like that?  So basically you could do this for income or side income? 


I also heard how when people receive an airdrop or another term, they immediately sell it for btc.  Can someone explain this process as basic as possible?


So if someone has free time or doing nothing, they could make money while on the computer with this?  But how much money could one even expect to make if say they could do this 20 hours a week vs say 40 hours a week?  The other thing i heard is if you do this, you could get scammed?  How exactly you get scammed?  They send you airdrop but its to your wallet and then your wallet get hacked? 

Nobody can say that to you because every project has different timelines, some bounties takes forever to hit the exchanges and convert it to eth or btc, while other projects can hit the exchanges in weeks.

The fact is that there are a lots of activities going on in the cryptocurrency world of business,you can participate in ICO bounty or airdrop campaign, most of those activities could help you earn income for a living

I see that you are here for a long time and you didnt participate in any airdrops or bounty campaign?
I would recommend you to start with airdrops and bounty campaigns and you will see ;).

I think both must be studied as a whole because there are several airdrop campaigns that make a lot of money and also in bounty campaigns. so be careful about the campaign you want to follow before you join to become a participant in the campaign greetings. so you have to learn a lot so you can achieve maximum results

Airdrops are less time consuming but not too effective as compared to bounty. But through You can earn number of variety of coins or token. But the quantity is only in bounty. Both have some pros and cons.

idk why your rank high enough but you know nothing about bounty and airdrop
i try to positive thingking that you are a dev, which dont care bout bounty but just dev a coin/ token

Bounty hunting means you are going to promote their project at the ICO sale period and you will be rewarded with tokens for that you no need any kind of investment but your rank in bitcointalk is important since you are full member you can participate in all the campaigns.There are different kind of campaigns available like signature campaign where you need to wear the signature and social media where you need to like and create posts and many more.You will get more information if you go through some of the threads in the bounties section.

I guess what you want to mean is Social Media Bounty/Campaign, such as Twitter Bounty, Facebook, Telegram, Instagram. There's no need to own any btc or any altcoin to participate in Bounty Campaign, it's completely free, and you will be payed right after the bounty ends, or depend on Distribution Date.

When in looked through your profile, i discovered that you have not been involved in any form of bounty or airdrop since you came into this forum

For better understanding of your questions, i would advise you go to Beginners and help section of the forum, where you will find full answer to your question.

No one might want to give you proper answer here by just asking, except you find threads that have already been written before now.

I believe this will be useful. I had to help you search for it on the forum, so you could have proper answer to your question.

I'll try to put it into simple words for you. An Airdrop is when you get free tokens of some project for actions like subscribing to their channels, making 1-2 reposts etc. This is a one-time action on the result of which you are given an amount of tokens that is usually worth about 20-30 dollars (of the ICO prices, the price on the exchanges might turn out to be very different). You don't need to own any eth, btc or whatsoever. Never give your money to those who claim they'll gie you a lot more tokens instead. They are probably scammers.
Bounty is more like a regular part-time job. You receive tokens (usually weekly) for regular posts and reposts in social networks, signature campaign on bitcointalk etc. Again, you give nothing but your work. They give you the money.
In general, you have to be a socially active person to participate in both, but the requirements for a bounty tend to be more strict than for an Airdrop (you'll need to have a specific number of followers on your profiles, for instance).
Note that many Airdrops and Bounties might value your work pretty instantly, but actually send you the tokens only after the ICO is finished (to avoid dumping of their token). That's what you mentioned by 'immediately sell it for btc'. People do that when they don't care about the project they work for and just want to get some money for their work. As many people are selling the token ASAP on exchanges, this can lead to price decrease and even more selling afterwards. But it's not supposed to be this way. The teams that allow you to participate in Airdrops and Bounties hope that you believe in their project and value their tokens.

You will do your work, which is mainly in advertising on the forum and social networks, and then do not get the reward that you were promised ...

I can see that you are new to all these. First and foremost take your mind off airdrop participation, it is not worth it you might end up with just a dollar after the whole thing. Let's talk about bounties, to some extent there are still some that are worthwhile but still have to be very careful not to end up with a project that nothing will come out of. I woukd advise you to go for signature bounty campaign, seeing that you are a full member on the forum, you will earn something reasonable with this.

I think to start with you need to ascertain why you are on this forum and what you want to do her
It could be:
1. Airdrops
2. Bounties
3. Icos
4. Day trading


Airdrop involves completion of soft easy task to receive the projects token as reward
Bounty hunting is a full scale marketing of a particular project for a stipulated period with reward paid in the project tokens

Icos involves buying / investing directly into a project with your money
Day trading involves monitoring arbitrage and making money from candles daily

how much money people are willing to invest in ICOs? that is the answer for how much money one can make with bounties and airdrops...

You are already a Full Member, I think you should have a fair idea on how bounty works. But assuming you haven't join a campaign yet, first you don't need to own bitcoin or altcoin before you can join them. In fact, you can earn free bitcoin and altcoins if you participate in a bounty. Yes, others treat it as side income like me, but majority of "bounty whores" look at it as a job.


Not really. You can hold on a tokens for as long as you what. But hunters, do usually sell them to get their rewards.


Depends. If you are a higher rank then definitely you can get more as compare to Jnr Members. That's why a lot of members here are trying to cheat the system but having multiple accounts so that they can earn even more. Well, if you don't know how to protect your account then definitely you will get your wallet hacked. As for airdrops, there are "supposedly projects" who asked for your private keys before they will send you the airdrops. There are people who are gullible enough to send their private keys. So they get hacked because private keys are supposed to be "private" and not to be shared to others specially people you don't know.

You don't need to own anything to get started, just usually an ERC-20 based crypto wallet. Immediately selling airdrop or bounty rewards is not very positive for the project, but a lot of people do it anyway, because they are more than satisfied with the money they get from it and do not want to risk price dumping too hard in the future. Basically (when tokens are unlocked) you send them to appropriate exchange (where they are trading) and there you swap them (sell/buy) with ETH or BTC, which you then withdraw to same or different wallet. There are a lot of scammy projects out there, so beware. You get scammed by not getting your tokens if the projects runs away with investors' money (exit scam).

I am very surprised to see that a full member is asking such basic questions, dear airdrops and bounties can be earned by participating in promotional tasks of each campaign, they do cost you time and effort depending on the task and campaign you are doing, and as far as getting scammed is concerned they can scam you by not paying reward or delaying it intentionally etc.

the bounty does not fully benefit, there are many scam projects and it makes people lose, for me bounty is only a side job because when we are out of work we read forum posts and know the developments about bitcoin, so this is just a side to get more insight into this forum

okay so yes i am an older member on this forum.  but im here to just browse and ask questions.  thus never did any bounty hunting or anything like that which is why i ask.


so those of you doing these bountyhunting... how many hours do you do a month?  how much can one expect to earn a month doing this say 40 hours a week?  can you even do that many hours?

There are a lot of nuances on which your earnings will depend. If you participate in bounty campaigns of social networks, such as facebook, twitter, reddit, linkedin, etc., then I can tell you that earnings here are very low because of the big competition, and they take a lot of time. 20 hours a week is enough for you to participate in 15-30 bounty. I would advise you immediately to start the development of the telegrams of the channel, YouTube channel, Bitcointalk account, blogs (medium, steemit and other). There, earnings are much higher. Later on, as you go through your bounty campaigns, you will gain a lot of experience and it will be easier for you.

there are sonmany great thong on this business that ypu can do but actually you choose these ones why why do you think they are the best

Honestly I think with your rank you'll know more but as it is  that you seem novice, there are bunches of activities you can do on cryptocurrency with which you can earn income such as bounty campaign and airdrop, bounty campaign varies from signature campaign whereby you wear signature of your rank and promote ICOs by posting on bitcointalk to social media campaign whereby you share and like posts on facebook and twitter etc. Airdrops is more or less a free means of getting tokens by filling forms and joining telegram group.. The income you get from both bounty and airdrop depends on how much time devoted and yes you can get scammed by participating in fake ICOs, they just raise money and disappear or some con artist get your private keys because you're novice and unsuspecting then steal all what you have in your wallet

The point is how to relate to this. if you hope not to work and get money only from this - it is not possible!

Bounty hunting  is to do some work for the ico on social media and get rewards in the forms of token,when the project compaign is underway,before it airdrops r  also flown into the market to popularise the projcet .

You need to start joining bounties and airdrops buddy. You can earn really good money if you have free time and if you want to join in that space.
You need to try these. You will like it. and i hope you will some money .

currently joining bounty participants and airdrops are useless and only a waste of time, the bounty hunters need a very long time to conduct a campaign and we don't get paid properly, because the price of tokens that fall far below the ICO price

Though it is hard to expect that we could gain good reward on bounty we still believe that we join good project that really worth. We won't stop finding and join bounty campaign because it is our choice. I rather do bounty campaigns than in airdrops because there you do not if you really earn and your account sometimes become unsecured.

Doing a bounty hunting doesn't ask yo to use any of your coins stored in your wallet, but instead you will get coins if you could finish the task requested from the bounty. And for the airdrop, it will be simpler, usually we just need to register and then we'll get some coins for free.

Bounty or airdrops don't need any money to start, but there are some requirements, like you need to own social media accounts,or you need to do make video ,the main idea is to help the developers to add their project, the amount of the reward is depending the coin after it's being listed in exchanges, and many bounty Hunter only want the profit, they don't want to invest,so they will sell as soon as they got the chance

It all depends on the seriousness of someone in participating in the bounty program and in the Airdrop program. Especially using free time to make money. I think, as a person who is active in crypto, it is very good if you are willing to share information to those who have free time but do not know the activity we are following (cryptocurrency), especially the bounty and airdrop.

It's work. Or rather part-time work. You participate in bounty companies, helping ICO projects and receive payment from them in the form of tokens, and then change them to Ethereum.

I think the only money you have to spend in both things is the transaction fees you need. You don't have to pay the managers or the owners of the campaign just to join the campaign. And yes, you can do social media campaigns for extra money. You'll get a lot if you're lucky with the campaign you have joined.

You as a full member was suppose to know about all this you are asking

Now I am confused on who you are, how did you become a full member? Because this is the part I am confused about

Participating in Bounty and Airdrop do not required any BTC/ETH or any other payment.

You have to do small tasks and you will get tokens/coins.

If someone is asking for BTC/ETH or any other coin to withdraw bounty/airdrop then exit immediately and consider it scam.

bounty hunting and airdrops are perhaps a more effective way to increase awareness and adoption of cryptocurrency. In today's age, there are thousands of different cryptocurrency and contests in the spotlight.

Bounty hunting and airdrops have been around for so long but the sad thing is, it is not as profitable as it was the past years. Some people made thousands of $$$ easily before where as of now, you can hardly make a hundred $.
Anyways, there's a sub forum called "Altcoins" and under it "Bounties" you could take some threads there and learn the explanation of Bounty for yourself. It is hard to explain how much you can earn, can't even say how to do it, but the all bounty means, they give you some tasks to make in exchange for their "crypto" (which means no value yet) or they pay you in ETH / BTC.

Bounty and airdrop are not profitable this year 2018 last year 2017 put are making thousand dollar but is not easy to make hundred this 2018 this year 2018 remain 2 month what will happen

it depends mate if the token from airdop already has value. Because sometimes there's is no value and need to hold for long time before to sell ., and sometimes even it already has value mostly is keep holding especially if the team behind is good and experts wherein for sure the token value will grow more in the future .

I am quite confused right now. So what you are saying is that the cryptos are still giving airdrops? I would like to know where and how can I join. In my opinion and based on my experiences, airdrops now are a waste of time, why? Because you will spend a few minutes on some project that will give you worthless tokens or coins after spending many hours finding ways to monetize those coins and tokens. So I stopped doing it after I cannot sell my earnings. They are digital coin bags stored in my computer.

no problem if bountyhunting and airdrop. we can use the funds we get from the second to start trading.

Just to give you an idea. Airdrops works in different ways like earning their coins thru referral,  answering some surveys or even downloading their apps to have reward tokens from their airdrops. And about bountyhunters, social media, youtube and content maker and signature campaigns are some ways to earn tokens. Hope it helps.

I have a question in my mind, what affects the project to take so long for their bounties and even last so long that we can't further wait for it? I joined campaigns and it is so long to distribute the token and exchange it. Maybe there is a reason behind it that is comprehensive and acceptable.

Airdrops already gone how faucets in the past.
Bounty campaigns is good for start earnings for peoples who dont have moneys to investments or try test himself in this new field

no offense
The tokens from Airdrop will only become a pile of worthless rubbish in my metamask wallet, I have to sell them immediately if there is a place to exchange

You can participate without owning any BTC or alts. All that you need is an address (often ETH) to which rewards can be sent. Airdrops and bounties are basically the team behind a new coin seeking someone to advertise their product. For bounties in particular there will generally be some minimum criterion to ensure the coin gets sufficient publicity, e.g. a certain minimum rank on here for sig campaign, or x number of followers for a twitter campaign, plus you then need to make a certain number of posts per week.
As for scams - some airdrops want KYC information, so it is easy for scammers to pick up valuable personal details with a fake airdrop, also sometimes a coin fails to hit softcap, which means the project can't go ahead, so bounties/airdrops become worthless - not a scam as such, just an unfortunate outcome.

You work on the bounty or airdrop depending on you, can not be measured with others, because everyone has a different time, like I only spend about 1-2 hours per day and you are right that airdrop and bounty can give you additional income, but it requires a long process, because before getting paid you have to do work first and a matter of scam, example like the bounty does not get payment even though the ICO has been completed and successful.

Perhaps it already been said before, perhaps i'll just say it again, Bounty hunter would be  doing some task requested by a project that are opening a bounty program in order to promote their project, and after the bounty ended, the participant will get a reward for doing their task.
And for Airdrop, there are some free coins that will be given to the participant after finishing specific task, i.e. Joining the project telegram group, following their twitter account or many other thing, as requested.

      Airdrops are a means of reward, which requires little time, but most are SCAMs or will bring a reward that means nothing. For bounties you have to spend more time to accomplish tasks, but the rewards are much better. I am a little shocked that you have the Full Member rank on the forum and you have not yet experienced the bounty campaigns. You do not have to hold bitcoin to participate in any campaign, be it bounty or airdrop. Whoever gave you this information has tricked you. You only have to meet certain eligibility conditions, according to the campaign you are applying to.

Yes, you heard it and confirmed that you can earn money through rewards out of doing on facebook, twitter, and telegram by sending an official links which is a way of process of endorsing or promoting a product. Likewise in a forms of wallet you should be aware of it from phishing site to prevent from scam or hacked account by looking at the legit website.

Now participating in bounty campaigns is more like participation in a lottery than on a regular income. I received my last salary in May, and from June to October I worked for free. If you have an extra 2-3 hours a day, you can try, but now is not the best time to earn money from bounty.

You don't need any money to start earning on bounties and airdrop. Your rank is more than enough to earn better rewards in bounties. I don't recommend airdropped ICOs though because they will just end up as a display in your wallet. You will only get scammed if you invest in shady ICOs but in bounties, only your effort can be in vain.

Personally for me I don't participate in airdrop campaign, because raising ref for good profit is quit difficult, but bounty is ok if you got enough social influence, you can make good money from signature or translation campaign if you good at that.

Both bounty campaign and airdrop can be used to gain free coins, All we have to do is that we should perform anything requested in the rules of the bounty or airdrop. After everything done, we'll get our reward based on our achievement

Yes, now neither the generosity nor the airdrop no longer bring the profits that they brought earlier, now it is a penny, which is not even enough for a couple of packs of cigarettes

It is a hard earned money nowdays. Most airdrops are not worth it, and the same is with the bounties. Very few of them will yield in a good return for the time invested.

Haha why do you think you are working free when promoting the ICO project. Since you have joined the bounty, you have determined that you are doing to receive token cards from the project without having to invest money on them. Of course bounty is now quite difficult and often encounters the non-payment

You do not have to own coins to participate in them, you just have to have accounts that you can promote the coins on. Bounty hunting and airdrops are basically just choosing to market the coin of a project and in the end they pay you with some of their coins. People sell because they are moving to a better project which they are sure of as new coins have a tendency to plummet in value after some time

Bounty hunting and airdrops are good if you are luckily joined in a good bounty program, there is a risk in joining on that. Bounty hunting needs deep research before you engage and participate in their bounty program. Airdrops nowadays are just like shit it is almost nonsense and no value at all. For me, it is wasting time to participate in airdrop that just too many tasks before you comply.

Yep, you can sell your airdrop/bounty tokens into btc when your token listed on any btc market.
And the value of different campaign is different, based on how successful the project is.

So far I have participated in bounty activities or airdrop activities. Their project tokens are authentic and reliable, and there are no false ingredients.

sorry, but I see your questions here is basic questions compared to your rank (full member) here, anyway , I see bounties are good and you can make enough money , I got scammed several times but it still ok.
I don't like participating in airdrop because its rewards is very small.

Participating in Bounty campaigns and Airdrops is just a way of making more money aside from owning a coin. It's a good idea.

In a very simple and short write up, bounty campaign mean you promoting or marketing their product through a medium which may be signature here on bitcointalk, facebook and other social media. In bounty campaign, you get paid for the work you did after the campaign paying whatever amount worth of the product which which is allocated for the campaign you participated.

This short summary is good, congratulations. But it should not be forgotten that at the moment no reward campaign provides a good return. Looks like he's waiting for the market to react positively.

The prices are low. And all cryptocurrency. Just have to exhale and wait, and of course not to quit the main job  ;D for bounty and Airdrop

Chasing the airdrops is a meaningless idea.  It is better to fully engage in the search and full participation in the bounty

I agree. Since April, I have been to where in 900 airdrop, there were about 95 incoming transactions and as a result 20 $.  :-[ They may grow, but they may not. I'm just stubborn.  8)

Of course, a bounty company, as you can get a very good profit from it, there are more opportunities for salary and a large number of companies among which you can choose something worthy.

Its true that some people post some promotional stuff on social media and they get paid but according to your question on how much one could get from doing those promotional tasks. Rewards actually varies and it depends on a particular project. Its difficult to predict the reward someone can get from bounty campaign.
