Bitcoin Forum

The way they usually work is they give you some string and you sign it to prove you own the address.

Could a malicious air drop make a transaction sending all your BTC to them, and then you sign it, and then they broadcast it to the network?
Or is signing a message different than signing a transaction?

It has been a while since I have joined an airdrop. From my experience, none of them has asked me to sign anything. Airdrops are supposed to be free and you do not need to send anything to them. Anyone asking you to send first are scams.

Any airdrop that doesn't go to all BTC holders would needs something from you.
Bitcoin Rhodium and Mimble Wimble Coin are a couple that I know of.

I don't think all airdrops are safe. There are few legit airdrop but it's very difficult to recover your gas fee for make transaction. There is few scammer who would ask you sign a message with their code, if you do that then you might lose your fund. Because by their code they are asking for fund, if you sign it fund would go to their address. So be careful about free airdrops.

Airdrops are safe; but you need to keep yourself secure
Do not disclose your private key to anyone
Do not give out your personal informations either

Always dyor

I try not to participate in airdrop in which something is asked to sign, if I do not fully understand what exactly needs to be done and is it safe for me. It is generally not safe to carry out these manipulations, fraudsters are not asleep.

As long as they don't ask you to give away your private keys or install anything (infected), you will be safe. There is no way they can access your wallet by making you sign a message. Also, some airdrops might ask you to submit KYC documents. Avoid those at all cost. High chances they will end up selling your information online.

This kind of airdrop is malicious, when you sign up for airdrop that  is should be free, nothing wrong with free token, but be careful with the data that you provided and don't simply give your private key.

Sending airdrop to your address may not create or permit anyone to steal your coins, moreover, airdrops are mostly sent in to Ethereum wallets not Bitcoin.
Just be extremely careful when trying to sign messages or make transactions .
Besides airdrops are worthless, they are mostly equivalent to few cents or dollars to the tokens or coins. So why take the risk just because you want to claim some tokens.

I have paused participating in airdrops for a while. Because I end up receiving shit coins which never get listed. Some would even make it a form of contest and ask you to purchase their tokens to earn more points

somehow airdrop is an event that is simple, easy, free and safe. if they have done a strange and suspicious new thing you don't need to join him because there are still many other projects

as long as I follow Airdrop, I think everything is safe and very easy to participate in Airdrop, because the team usually only tells you to follow Twitter and Facebook and then share and retweet the posts that are made, after that you will fill in the form, that is address of wallet to receive airdrop and proof if you have done the requirements that have been requested, so participating in airdrop is not possible to make your Bitcoin lost and can be transferred to them.

I have participated in some bounties as well as airdrops that tells you to deposit some money into a specific wallet before you can receive your money. That is a scam and anytime you see something like that, just exit scam.

Have stopped airdrop for a very long time, but signing in can not make your btc vulnerable but when you are asked to provide private key then its suspicious, also make sure you don't sign in through a phishingsite

Sometimes I participate in airdrop, which are provided by trusted bounty managers in this forum. The maximum that needs to be done is to retweet, repost, join the telegram group. Nowhere was it necessary to provide a signature or, especially, a private key or to install software.
Rarely at the airdrop spread more than $20 equivalent. It’s definitely not worth risking to provide any data (including a signature).

I have participated in various airdrops from my experience Airdrop is a free coin or token just by doing light duty, like and share on their social media and fill out the form, if airdrop is from an exchange, you must register on their stock and do a Kyc if needed. but if you are asked to give a private key or deposit BTC, ETH then do not do it is clearly fraud.

Definitely not all Airdrops are safe and also kindly stay as far away as you can from Airdrops that required you to sign or verify a message, most of them (99%) are scams. Legitimate Airdrop especially does that don't require any social media task (like following or liking of Facebook page, Twitter handles, sharing or retweets etc) are usually safe. Some examples are receiving free coins due to forks or for just holding a particular coin in your wallet etc. Scammers are exploring new ways to scam victims and the use of free services that attract participants in their numbers like Airdrops have been their most target.

There could be a malicious airdrop and when you see such airdrop as  a forum member anywhere, you should know that. Asking for private keys or giving you a link to sign up with could be an attempt to take control over your funds. For now, I haven't seen or see.any airdrop that actually worth holding at the moment.

Don't fall prey to any link asking you sign a transaction or providing you with a form asking you for your password, 2FA, or private keys, such forms are only going to be used to steal your coins and tokens.

Most airdrops are safe if you know how to protect yourself. Make sure you don't install unverified files or install them on a virtual machine first or on a computer that doesn't store your passwords and your keys.

Airdrop scammers can't steal from you if you don't give them anything. Make a new email every time and don't leak your private info.

It is true that airdrop actually seems to eliminate a lot because it might be an improper use and is very detrimental even though some are true. but because the prizes obtained were not appropriate and eventually many left and were not interested in airdrop.

Just as we have some bounty programs ending up in scam, some airdrops can be scam. It is only up to the participant to research in order to know the authenticity of the airdrop before joining. Anyway, I don't participate in airdrops of late because they reward with few cents to about just $5.

If you doubt about airdrop make it simple just leave it because you won't get a big profit from it. I often see many airdrop who ask the participant's KYC only for $25 it is not fair IMO. There is many ways to earn money through this forum especially, you can take part bounty campaign or signature campaign who paid with bitcoin. When I was newbie I often to taken part with airdrop event but till now I didn't feel the result from it, most of them are useless.

If you are interested in airdrops then find the right source that have verified airdrop campaigns because 90% of airdrops are useless tokens and the remaining 10% might not even pay you up to 20$

Airdrops could be safe but sometimes its dangerous because many airdrop campaigns now are not legit and only getting your follow with their social media accounts and left you behind without being paid. The saddest part is if the scam airdrop requires kyc, then your personal identity could be used by such scammers, too dangerous.

So far I was never asked to sign a message for participating in any airdrop. Signing is a message is just way to prove that you are the owner of that wallet so I think it should be safe, but if any airdrop is asking you to enter your private keys or seed words than stay clear from those airdrops.

some say here that some airdrops are dangerous and some say some airdrop is a scam, but not all airdrop is a scam, there are also many people who participate in airdrop that can make them benefit, so we want to participate in airdrop for sure we have to do some research first, and make sure the airdrop is safe and not scam, but of course it's not easy for us to distinguish it.

while airdrop pays and there is a price I will definitely follow. during this time I followed airdrop still safe. especially when airdrop has been registered in the market, I will immediately do the airdrop task or rules correctly.

there is no advantage in following airdrop, I think 80% of airdrop scam, not paying, if you pay there is no price.  it does follow airdrop for free but you have to maintain the data.  it's better to just follow the bounty

Agree, indeed the allocation for airdrop is small because of the large number of participants. As long as the airdrop doesn't need our documents for KYC, I think Airdrop is still safe to participate

Message signing is a way you can prove you control a particular address and demonstrate you have ownership of the funds, sometimes people accidentally filled the private key into airdrop form, it's should be safe unless you giveaway private key to them, don't join the airdrop if they required participants import the private key to claim free tokens.

Not all airdrops are safe and as long as it's not asking our priv key and it can be considered as a safe airdrop. we are joining in the bad airdrop but those people have joined in decred airdrop or ontology earn thousand dollars of money. this time airdrop is dead.

any airdrop that asks for your private keys or passwords is an immediate RED FLAG! Just use your common sense and you'll be safe most of the time.  Most people in crypto are victims of their own mistakes.

There are airdrops that require KYC procedure they request your personal data and even photos. But that airdrop requested private keys, I have not seen.

Some airdrops are legit but a lots of them are just scams and just collecting some private information, be careful about asking those private keys in the airdrop forms as they are 100% scams. Been in the industry for many years now, and i am so very careful about joining this airdrops because some of them are just scammers who are trying their best to victimized those who are unaware of the situations, spreading awareness is the most important thing now.

Nowadays most of airdrops have almost no value at all.
Some of them are a scam, so open your eyes wide if you join any of them.

Although it has been long I had anything to do with airdrops but I have not seen anyone requesting users to sign their address. But however, I have seen many asking for private keys or directing users to a phishing website.
I think the days of airdrop is over as they hardly amount to anything good.

Yeah I think, usually we only add our address to receive the token and doing some simple task like follow Facebook Twitter and looking for referrals. No need to worry asking as you dont give your private key.
And just wait for the token landed on your wallet

Generally airdrops are safe, you are not doing more as subscribing to social media and filling a google form, so it cannot harm your data. However, you will get tons of spam emails, but this is the worst damage you can get by taking part in airdrop campaigns.

They are safe provided that they are not going to ask you to download anything ask your private key and do KYC I only participate on a bounty campaign that ask me to follow all their social media sites and promote their airdrop other than that I won't agree.

How could that possible as far as i know each wallet has own security applied. if that happen through airdrop it means that they have your private keys to import your account and send all your btc to them. thats why be careful and take extra precaution while dealing some airdrops although that some airdrop are legitimate and safe we cannot change the fact that some are shady and fraud.

The airdrops are safe. But there are so many scammers use airdrops for steal users private keys, KYC documents etc. Then you have to be safe with airdrops. Don't give your private keys to airdrops. The next thing is doing your own research about the project before give your KYC documents to any airdrop.

There are airdrops that want you to sign a message with an address where you're holding other coins. Some want you to assign your name and email address to your bitcoin wallet and prove that you own bitcoins or something else like ETH.

Of course no airdrop should ask for private keys. This would be a red flag.

Airdrops are safe and at the same time some poses risks. There are airdrop that requires simple Google form or certian bot activities, this type is safe though while there are some that will require visiting myetherwallet to perform an activity etc, this type is highly dangerous as it is phishing.

Now airdrop doesn't pay much, some are safe and some aren't, now airdop's situation is similar to that of a bounty

Real airdrop never asks for wallet sign or anything like that. If the participant put a wrong wallet address then that's his mistake. The airdrop has nothing to do with it. If any airdrop asks for signing message then you should be warned it could be a phishing attempt to steal your funds. Stay safe.

In my opinion, airdrop will be safe if we do not provide personal information about the account or anything related to our assets to the airdrop provider. Indeed we must be careful when choosing safe and reliable airdrop. We shouldn't sign transactions that are unclear or just full of doubts because I think it's just a trap to drain our assets. We must ensure every step and decision that we make so that we avoid fraud.

AIRDROP IS ALWAYS SAFE if you will stay safe.

1. DO all the task and put your wallet address is always good to do.
You are in danger if you will input your private keys.
2. Never do KYC for some dimes of AIRDROPS.

No it will never be safe if you will do what they are asking like KYC.
Remember that in everything we do in this field of currency we are not safe.
Make sure that your wallet passwords and keys will not be in sake.
also your KYC or identity.

It is safe until you give someone your private key or ID card.
So if some airdrop requires it, be aware, in most cases it is a scam and you will not receive anything.

You have to aware airdrop event never make you reach, even most of them end up in scam event. Which is mean is not save for you to give all of your sign message to them, you will face a high risk when you deal with scam project. When you found your wallet have been hacked by someone else its feels like you have much money in your house but you never at home or even you are more often in outside the house while there is someone who already knows that you save a lot of money in the house. Only now you still feel that sign message is a private key that is not important because you don't have a lot of bitcoin or some altcoins in it but later a few years from now I believe you can afford to have some bitcoin and altcoins.

I always avoid all of airdrop that come from my email especially from Spam Inbox, because it has a high chance that most of them are phising and i'm afraid i will lose my assets on my wallet because of that. I prefer joined airdrop that come from the website of the project itself.

Never ever download that required software in order to get a specific receive address which you will use for filling the Google spreadsheet. Malicious software has a backbone code which freezes the antivirus and steals the wallet information from crypto desktop wallets. If you already discovered unusual behaviour on the personal computer, it is already too late. First thing after waking up to do is to cut the internet connection in order to prevent the data leak to the specific server.

If it coming from our email which we never registered for that airdrop, that's absolutely phishing attempt. Participating in airdrop now only makes us get nothing. However I never heard legit airdrop in last 6 month except XLM airdrop through blockchain wallet.

If you do and airdrop do not need to throw your documents and also enter the private key to the wallet , as they can just steal your money!

Some airdrops are not safe especially those that comes with Google form. Some of this types of airdrop always adding a scam website to the form and ask users to click on connect their account via private key. Even last year a friend of mine was victim of such. So let's be careful of airdrops and be sure of the links we click.

Noone can make a transaction for you only you can so no.
You don't need to make a transaction to do an airdrop they only need your address and they will give you the airdrop if you meet the criteria like following tweets or just by asking for an airdrop. If there is anything else then it is a scam. The only transaction being made will be the one to your wallet when the airdrop takes place.

Some airdrops are safe but be very careful with links provided for you to sign in order  to prove ownership of wallet address especially with MEW. Some scam airdrops used fake MEW URL to get private keys of crypto enthusiasts and cleared their wallet. This happened to a close friend so it's not a mystery.

I have participated in few drops in time past, they only request of your public wallet address which the coins will he sent. Any request for sensitive information like private key should be turned down.

As you know there are various airdrop running everyday but i think 99% airdrops are scams and should not join and i suggest don't waste time on airdrops and don't share your keys or any other data they can hack your pc or wallet .

Signing is safe. But, don't ever give any privkey or email when you are trying to join that airdrop. Even better if you use a brand new address since generating one is not that hard anyway.
Airdrop usually ends up selling your data somewhere else and you will get so many spam emails from that even some case there's phishing email so you need to really beware and only choose airdrop from some kind of reliable developers team.

This can't be generalize, it also depends on the coin or the project, there are projects that are fully compliant and they will require all recipients of their coins to comply with the KYC, such as investors, bounty hunters, and airdrop, that's something to be look as well.
For those that you don't trust, never give such details of your KYC, I think some investors also join in airdrop and bounty hunting.

airdrop is safe if you don't ask Kyc or ask for your wallet address key,
kyc in my opinion is very sensitive, it means not to be careless, because if you use it carelessly it can be misused, that's why avoiding airdrop KYC is needed so that we are safe.
pay, this is one of the things that must be avoided too, airdrop aims to make the project accepted in the wider community, but if it is opened it is a little funny in my opinion.
run it so that the airdrop that we follow is safe.

Yes airdrops are safe,i'm a airdrop hunter and i have participate in 100s of airdrop in the past but the money is very low,stay away from airdrops asking you to send ETH to contract address to get token they are scam

If you're just signing up and doing such tasks without downloading any malicious software/files/other stuffs then there's no way they can acess your BTC. In terms of your privacy issue ie. they are requiring you to input your address, then think about it twice. Nothing can hack or scam you if your informations are secured and protected well.

This is the reality, and about a question of airdrops are safe, well it is safe as long you never give some personal info and they are not requiring you to give money then it is safe. But in my joining experienced with airdrops i never signed anything. They required you to sign up but never sign transactions.

Personally, I always did not understand the meaning of AIRDROP - to force an artificial interest in a project ... It would be better to use bounty, where smart people will reveal interesting aspects of a project! These investments can pay off.

To me most of the airdrops are nothing but shit and scam, airdrop is been use to steal our details away from us

That's the main reason I avoid most of the KYC related airdrops (not all though). The rewards are usually small it's not worth it to send our valuable data for merely pocket change. I also heard some bad projects also sells those data illegally.

I don't think they will spread our information online, they will sell it to businesses that need our information or worse, sell it to terrorists.
So be careful with such airdrop types and stop providing your personal information when you only get a few dollars.

it is true and it is also very easy to do without complicated things like the others, but the problem is only the value that does not contribute, so I have not been interested.
 

You are working on the Internet should understand that there is nothing safe here. No one knows what new scheme will come up with cheaters. Therefore, all KYC passes and other actions with drops should be carried out neatly.

If you see anyone asks for private keys, shut them down and report them here or on any other place, people should know it`s a scam. Airdrops are safe, as long as they don`t ask for too much info. I don`t do KYC for airdrops, I don`t give my private keys to anyone, and I can say I never had a problem with any airdrop. People should be careful with private information not just when they participate in airdrops, it works for everything you do on the internet. Keep your info safe, and your funds will be safe too.

I have now avoided Airdrop, because right now I am not getting a good profit from it, so I better avoid it and look for a Bounty campaign for now, Airdrop is safe, but not profitable for me.

airdrops are secure unless you provide your confidential information. but you should not participate in these airdrops if it asks for your confidential information. this makes it safer for you

you are right, now i also see airdrop can not give us an advantage.
i think it will only waste our time, indeed some airdrop are still profitable. but it is very difficult to find a good airdrop.

so i thought, your idea is very good for avoiding airdrop. indeed, it's better for us to become bounty hunters.

I think airdrop is not a consideration my own, lots of airdrops just are fake, but they still did not take me too much time to do, and did not get much from me also, my information is not that important, maybe one day, they'll sent you an email that you sign in on an airdrop few months ago, to me, that's not a big problem. Still have a chance to get more, I'll take it

I wouldn't join an airdrop that requires me to signing a message. Not all airdrop requires that thing anyway so for the most of time, airdrops are safe.

I have never met airdrop who had to sign a message or anything related to btc, most of the airdrop that I encountered only contained tasks that told me to follow some social media and also do what they told me to do, download wallet applications or do other things if there was an airdrop using btc like that might be a scam.

Not all airdrops are actually safe. Some will ask for your private key and require you send some bitcoin to claim your reward. And signing up in an airdrop with your official email can be dangerous. I prefer to enter my bitcoin address and do no sign up.

Airdrops are safe, if you don't have to do KYCs to claim your airdrops. Moreover, if you have to register via emails, it is better and safer if you use throw-away emails. Especially you should not use your main emails for airdrops. And, your main emails should have different passwords than other emails (that you use for airdrops, bounties, whatever unimportant things).

It seems that airdrop shows take away your information. And besides there are people who use your information for bad purposes. I think airdrop is not absolutely safe. Some airdrop programs are required to download unknown applications, it can control your computer

the common airdrop is safe. they just give you some coin by sending your address and maybe give your btt name account. no fee to get airdrop, no sign up or something.
but, as time go by, they need you to follow, share or retweet their news, or following their channel. just it.
now, airdrop can be dangerous, because they can ask your priv key, and the other important data. you need to pay them some, and its make like 'you pay first, you will get this coin'
and just becareful, sometime they scam or fraud.

if you find an airdrop that asks you to send BTC or ETH, leave it immediately!
I once sent several ETH to the address given by them and after that they disappeared.

No, not all airdrop campaigns are safe. Some campaigns want private key. And you should stay away from this kind of campaigns. You should not share your private key with anyone in any way. Some campaigns also want personal information. You should be careful with this kind of campaign. I prefer not to participate in such campaigns. But even if you want to participate, I think you should do some good research in advance.

As far as I know from my two years of experience of cryptocurrency, airdrops are free and any project launching airdrop does not require you to send them anything. They many ask you to provide your email or ethereum address or KYC information. So stay alert about any project asking you to provide them any fund.

It was a crazy act. Airdrop is free, and if you need to pay them some money to receive airdrop, it is definitely a scam. You need to stay away from the airdrop like that

many people trying to cheat others.and strangely, many people are deceived and send ethereum to the address.we have to becarefull and just forget it.there are many airdrop program better .

there are some dangerous airdrops that tell us to install the apk, but not everything is dangerous, only a few are dangerous because they have a virus inside.
airdrop which only wants a wallet and a little data such as e-mail and telegram username, I think it's all safe.

it's hard to say there are really good airdrops and make 1000 money maybe there are only 20 airdrops that really become money. the rest is just garbage. don't trust the form of request to send our money to anyone. it's clearly an airdrop scam.

in my view, airdrops are safe, but it doesn't mean you can give everyone your security code or your information. You always have to be careful. But normally they can be scam. When airdrop says to download any wallet. There is one more thing to say. There is something bad about that.

Don't think signing a message can cause any harm to you.  Just be careful with different browser plugins and software you install on your computer - especially if you are working on windows...

Any airdrop asking for any signing signing stuff is definitely a scam. I know a friend who lost her wallet to such malicious sites thinking it was an official site of a bounty done. Airdrops do not interest me these days anyway cos the reward for airdrops now are nothing to write home about.

This is why you need to find good Airdrop campaigns. Most of the Airdrop is not worthy to do. In this year, I haven't seen any Airdrop project, rather every ICO/IEO projects launched airdrop campaign! So, before joining in Airdrop, have a look at their partners, press release, whitepaper and verify their words! Good luck

It you are not really sure of what you are doing or you are in doubt please don't do it. It is for the safety of your account, better to study more if signing a BTC address would harm your funds but i think it doesn't but it would be good that the knowledge comes from you.

Sometimes I thinks one might appreciate signs up before it get to ones wallet, what if is not safe and u got it without your consent and it becomes a problem. However, I prefer it in an exchange than in my private wallet. Exchange wallet could come as result of holding certain coin and exchanges will be responsible for security check-up of such coin.

They are selling our soul also... ;D
We can't expect airdrops could give us valuable coin but just only a shit coin. Mostly, airdrops I participated before never been listed in a reputable one but just listed only at Forkdelta and Etherdelta. And looking its value today..not surprising cause it is still zero and nothing can afford to invest these coins.

For me majority of the airdrops are not good, but there are few of them are good just like what I saw in some of the bounty campaign such as Bcnex, Cma. And if there are some airdrops asking for KYC don't join, because our documents is much more important than anyone don't exchange it with a small amount of return.

That is not my experience. What airdrops are you talking about? Anything that asks you for money before giving you something for "free" is a scam and anyone doing it is just silly.
I have never heard of proving you own an address. What will that do? That will prove nothing. Just stupid. I can't even think how a scammer would use that info at any rate.

A true airdrop is free and only requires your address.

A bounty airdrop requires certain tasks to be completed (this is not free and you must earn it) Retweeting making tweets or using FB to post or follow etc is not free it takes time and is work. If you earn something doing something else you cannot call it free. There is no such thing as "earning for free"

They are safe and one of the easiest ways of earning crptocurrencies in this industry. However most of the airdrops that are run in this forum these days are worthless as they end up as shit coins and scam coins. I have tons of them in my ethereum wallet  ;D. i have moved on from the days of participating in bounties and airdrops only and also invest into some IEOs and ICOs of good projects in the cryptosphere.

As long as you don't give your identity to KYC airdrop, I think airdrop is safe.
leave it if airdrop asks for your data, and don't sell your data cheaply.

No this is impossible...once they dont ask you for your private key they dont have anything to do with you just be cerful

We do not know, but I've gained a reasonable amount of money for some airdrops. Some airdrops require to do KYC, that I won't participate because they will get your own identity for just a few bucks and its not worth the risk. Just be careful on clicking links of those airdrops, it might be a virus or their means to hack your computer, we do not know.

It depends on different factors. How their lives easy or difficult? How high money they can receive from airdrops compared to their usual daily income? How about the level of their needs on money (for them, for their families) at specific time points, on which airdrops announced for participants), so many factors. However, whatever reasons force them to join airdrops that ask them to do KYCs, they should know all or most sorts of risks before accepting to join and throw away their identities.

I better skip airdrop which requires our documents for KYC. A lot of airdrop now requires KYC and I don't think it's worth the airdrop value we get. I agree that we must carefully click on the airdrop link because what we get is not commensurate with the risk we get

Its safe if you want to join airdrops but make sure the airdrops are from known sources and stay away from those that ask for KYC

Most of them will not pay or doesn't have a value in the market therefore you are just putting your private data at risk specially if they asked for KYC as requirement. So i suggest that you avoid them as your personal information is not worthy against the risks.

Never join an airdrop that asks anything from you. That is not an airdrop anymore. By design, airdrops should be completely free. If in exchange for a dime of their worthless coins, you are asked to deposit a certain amount to prove your ownership, or provide your private keys and other private information, or even asks for your personal information, disregard it immediately. That is pure bullshit. As much as possible, you even stay away from airdrops.

all of that is wrong. the way airdrop works isn't like that. they give us rewards because we have promoted their projects and not us who gave them gifts. usually our task in an airdrop is to retweet or post their project to our social media. and once again an airdrop is not an agreement but we help them promote the project they are doing with later we are given a reward. after all, we only give wallet addresses, so just calm down they can't take our money.

There are airdrop like that but you can't expect you'll get a good value of your airdrop, probably just a shitcoin.
Simple math, why would they pay you if they don't get anything from you?

Yes it is safe provided they don't start making request for your private keys. You also gave to be careful with the Ines that will ask you to donate. Some are genuine some are not. Truly, some are designed to collect your information which they sale to companies. Some individuals also collate your information and make you join telegram groups which they build and sale to aspiring projects.

Airdrop is safe but sometimes hacker open airdrop and they ask for Privatey key Or they want some ETH.This kind of airdrop is not safe.Before joining any airdrop be aware 

Just be safe please, don't EVER follow a struling that tells you to sign a contract with your private key except through metamask cos it will notify you whenever they want to spend from your wallet.
Great Airdrops don't usually ask for such. Be guided pls

Are Airdrop safe.? well my ans is no. Because good projects are not going to give you free money. But yes there is some projects that told you to do some task for them like subscribe there social channels or register there website, for those matter you can inquire those project and then you can fill the application. Please avoid those airdrop which told to you such a lot of money. just think why anyone give you money without any reason. Do not give them any personal information for your safety. keep safe, think twice before you do something.

Airdrops just give insignificant rewards and I don't see why   you would risk your btc for these small dollars. Mostly airdrops don't require much works but if they are requesting that you fill some forms of which you don't trust, just ignore it and be safe

do not perform airdrop , they are not now a big profit , and there is no big money in them , especially if you are asked to download the program you can infect your computer with different viruses.

Have you done KYC in participating with them? Cause if not, then you're not risking your personal identities by then but only waiting for another dead coin to receive. What actually we do, never get tempted to participate in those free coins cause it never seems to be profitable anymore...better to have it in participating bounty or signature campaigns.

Most of the airdrops are safe. Cause you don't have to do anything. But I am saying form my experience that most of the airdrops are nothing but a waste of time. Signing a message is not something to worry about. When a airdrops required this kind kind of thing better to avoid that. Cause I never done this kind of things in my life. Whatever it is be care ful and always keep your eyes open.

It is safe if you do not mistakenly give them a private key or UTC file to open your wallet. Practically most airdrops are filth, they just open up to cheat, or to up their turn to track their telegram channel, social channel .... There are many airdrop malicious files and entice you to download to your computer, in order to infiltrate your computer. You should be careful when making airdrop.

Some can be scams so definitely be clear. They should always be free and be sure to never give your private key !

If you are participating in airdrops, it is good practice to have a dedicated wallet to that so as to limit your risks. Also avoid any interaction that exposes your private keys, there are better options to naviigate this with metamask.io.Avoid downloading links to avoid malware that could compromise your laptop

Airdrop in quote is safe If it is to be used in the right way, just like ICO too is also safe, but the problem is with the scammers that has hijacked this system, prior to when this industry got filled with scammers, airdrop also use to give so much money when you participate in it and it is quite less stressful and short to participate in like ICO, but right now, you have to be extremely careful about the type of airdrop that you look into.

There are so many scammers that are using airdrop nowadays to just collect your information, so that they can have access to token details that you have supplied to them through their airdrop. There was one that I participated in recently, just barely two weeks of it, I have started seeing lot of attempt to illegally crack into my cryptocurrency mail.

safe or not, I don't really know about them, because I personally have never been interested in or liked some kind of airdrops. My advice is just one, don't ever do KYC just for free coins or some sort of airdrop, consideration before making that decision

That doesn't sound right to me. If it's an airdrop, they shouldn't be asking anything of you.
An airdrop is a free distribution of coins to promote the project. If they are sending out to addresses, why would you need to prove you own the address? It sounds like they are hoping someone will make a mistake and hand over private information, such as KYC data or private key. I would recommend to stay away.

Airdrop should not requiring something like that, peoples usually just need to follow, retweet, or join some channels.
As i know in Ethereum, we will need to using private key to sign transaction, so it will be a dangerous thing if only used for airdrop.

What airdrop are you talking about? it sounds really suspicious because they are requiring you to sign something that most kind of airdrop being conducted doesn't do anything like that, but if you can say what airdrop is that we might actually check the string they are giving and determine if it is safe or not.

In the world of hackers, there is no impossibility and there is no length to which they would not go to get some accounts hacked, even as you are asking this question, there may be an hacker among us which is already seeing the possibility of using the system you talked about to hack even if they had not tried it before.

When it comes to airdrop, there is always going to be malwares associated to some, so what I did for airdrop was to open a separate email for it, also have another address opened for it, so that even if I will get hacked, it will still be my airdrop account. The thing is, it is difficult to say if airdrop is safe, but easy to stay safe if we can learn to protect our accounts by all possible means. So I would not advise you stay away from airdrop, participate but be selective of the projects.

Everything in this world has its pros and cons so as in cryptocurrency. In this world of hackers, its likely and possible that your wallet can be hacked and your airdrops tokens might be stolen. Well, personally, I haven't participated in airdrops campaign before so I can't determine whether its safe or not.

Airdrop is not dangerous. The airdrop program is a quick completion program. As long as I participate in the airdrop program, I have never found one asking to sign a message or something.

Ofcourse Airdrop is safe except for the few ones that will want to steal your personal data. Be very careful before participating in any, at least verify the authenticity. I won't recommend airdrop that will ask you to send some amount of ETH before receiving your reward.

Most airdrops are just useless to participate so we are wasting our time by joining on these airdrops.

If an airdrop ask you to pay some eth as transaction fee or they ask for any kind of your wallet keys then they are scammers.

Usually airdrop forms don't ask for private keys. Though sometimes it can explore the identity of a person but it's
impossible to get your coins without accessing your wallet. If any airdrop form ask you to fill it with private keys that means it's a scam. Beware of them and you'll be safe.

Airdrops are never safe. How can you ever trust a project which is yet to be launched into this crypto space full of scams and organizing airdrop. Even the existing ones are not safe, how much more upcoming ones with no track record

To the best of my knowledge only a few are safe while majority are scams, email spammers etc. The few good one hardly asks for unnecessary requirements while the fraudulent ones will ask or lead users to a phishing website to steal their informations. Let's endeavour to check any airdrop before participating.

I would say 8 from 10 airdrops are scam or they need just your personal data to sell it in darknet or for kyc purpose. Don't waste your time, better spend this time with your family.

I think they are safe, as long as we don't enter excessive identities that will only be priced a few dollars, because it is feared that in some projects that are scam and in the name of ourselves. Therefore it is more researched in reading the whitepaper and reviewing the experts to enter airdrop.

I can't recall any airdrop asking to sign in then when I was still into it, I stopped I don't see it any good again. Majority of Airdrops now are Scam. Don't sign in to anything for any Airdrop

I always associate with Aidrop which has been printed on the exchange to prevent airdrop from being paid. for me time must be appreciated.
besides that KYC is a part that must be avoided when joining airdrop.

When i first joined the airdrop program as a newbie i saw some forms which allows me sign in message, like a way to use my private key to unlock rewards, cos i was too careful i wasn't a victim.

Back at the end of 2017 in early 2018, airdrop helped me earn a huge sum of money from the simple requirements of the project, at the time I thought airdrop was great, safe and made a lot of money. But now, a lot of airdrop shows take place, the project scams a lot, besides the airdrop stealing our information, some of it steals our data through software that needs downloading. when participating in the airdrop program

I never experienced something that i need to sign in to prove that i own the wallet, however there's some that are asking private key which is already a big red flag. Airdrops are meant to be free for all so if they're asking for a sign in or private key avoid it.

Most of the airdrop we have now are not safe anymore, it is either somebody somewhere is trying to steal the information of the people or someone somewhere is trying hard to scam the people, beware.

I prefer to join social media campaigns and participate in ICO or IEO projects with my own trust managers, rather than joining various airdrops where the results cannot necessarily be traded while we get them by doing KYC which I think is very detrimental because we don't know what was done to our identity after the campaign ended.

I dont think therw is any harm in filling out airdrop forms that do not require your private keys. Yes it might be free but you have to be guided. Exposing your private key in the process of filling a form is a no no

You have to beware of airdrops that come up with any kind of signing stuff. It's taking them directly to your wallet address and if you have valuable tokens there, they will all be gone in a minute.

I don't know of course some of them are genuine and most of them are scams so be careful before you try to do an airdrop.

I think sign message is not affect on bitcoin transaction. Because it is only prove that we are the owner of the address. And in bitcointalk, we do sign message too if we want and no problem come with it. And it is really helpful when we lose our account.

even this one you questioning guys? instead of being thankful, duh! It's just a rewards and your just need claim it. How could it be unsafe??  Anyway. people nowadays are full of negativity thats why the complains and rants will be never ended!

The truth is u have to be careful of some links, u may not be aware they malicious links, but they are sent out to steal your information. And another thing is don't send any BTC or ETH to any Airdrop. Airdrop is supposed to be free, they can only ask u to do some tasks for you to get your tokens

Only few airdrops are legitimate and profitable, others might include phising links from hackers. Any airdrop offers with suspicious links should be avoided and that includes offer that require signing messages, they should be investigated instead. Rewards from real airdrops is small compared to bounties and it takes time before it is finally distributed.

Yeah they are not any harm for me. If you are not sharing too much of your data like KYC or even private key for an airdrop. They normally need wallet information and some online identification that it. But now a days they are nothing but wasting of time for me. Most of the airdrops are priceless or so little in price that you can even changed it to othr coins. So I'd ont recommend airdrops now. So in my opinion they are not harmful but they not worthy of time.

Frankly speaking, this is entirely to do with our choice of Airdrop Campaign, if the selection is not good, it will not be helping anyone. However, if we make better selection, it will certainly help us to gain. If we join up random Airdrop Campaign (https://cryptolinks.com/airdrops), it will just take us nowhere, so this is where it is so vital that we put efforts into figuring out if it’s worthy or not and proceed only if we are certain, it’s not just about gains but also time which could be lost otherwise.

Participate in airdrop sometimes is very good and safe unless you do not send your private key, or required KYC, be aware that one scam project required KYC to stolen your identity.

As for me ,doing bounties of a few interesting projects is much much more profitable than taking part in hundreds airdrops.But I have never had any issues with security of airdrops ,all of them were safe.

Well, the risk received from downloading some files during work with airdrop is what everyone has shared, and therefore, if faced with projects that have these requirements, it is wise to not participate because a very small reward then we lose bigger amounts, that's very silly. And besides this case, a lot of projects are also just scams for participants, their tokens are often not worthwhile, joining them only gets junk, airdrop is really unsafe, if any anyone who wants to participate and make money, bounty is the logical path as you say

As long as you keep control of your private keys I agree, airdrops are harmless. But there are sneaky ways, for example, some airdrops need an email, and then some people keep their 2fa on the same email. When that happens you expose your email, and if it's hacked, so is your 2FA.

And of course there are those who keep addresses on simple websites with weak passwords.

Airdrops are actually safe but you have to stay clear of airdrops that require you installing an app or sending them your private keys. If you are careful of this, your mind will be at rest as the chance of losing your BTC will be very slim or impossible

That is what I want to say that airdrop is safe.


If it's like this, I won't participate in the airdrop. And also I want to add a little, Never send KYC just to join the airdrop.

No, that will not happen. Bitcoin transactions will not require a signature, the word needs private key or key store to log in to the wallet and start trading.
they are not important about signature forms, they are important about the personal information you provide, especially the passport.

So far, Airdrops only requires participants to join the telegram and tweet their official Twitter tweets and if there is an Airdrop that requires participants to send a number of funds either eth or btc, you can be sure it is an airdrop scam and don.t  enter your private key in the airdrop registration form.

I think airdrop is safe, it's a good form of reward for the participants. now we can see a lot of airdrop events there and only how the airdrop can be successful or not we have to do research

airdrop that requires you to download their wallet might be malicious it's better to just skip such airdrop so as to avoid stories that touch in future,  lots of airdrop are out there just to get your personal information

Not all airdrops are safe, there are also many fraudulent airdrops like we are required to send ETH or BTC to certain addresses, some are asking us to provide private keys, and some are asking us to do KYC, so we must be smart in choosing airdrop

Are they are safe enough at this moment. Though I stopped joining on Airdrops I have to research Airdrop campaign to help my community! Right now many good airdrops are running though their reward is little. But my suggestion is, don't do every airdrop, try to check the Airdrops Alert website and their ratings!

I have had luck with the airdrops i've participated in. If they are notable companies and you've done your due diligence I think it's fair to say go for it.

Any airdrop that requires any or all of the above requirements, such as signing messages is a scam attempt, and what they are trying to do is to steal your coins.

The Airdrops present right now on the blockchain cryptocurrency market aren't constantly sheltered, in some cases you locate some phony airdrops requesting that you complete a KYC, or even to send them your private keys. Numerous novices got defrauded by this "airdrops" and lost their well deserved coins thus.

For me the airdrop is safe. But still, you have to be vigilant. There have been many cases in the airdrop. Malware. Many people who put Malware into an airdrop link. Malware is very dangerous for the laptop or PC that we use to look for bitcoin. As you said, your account could have sent bitcoin to them without you knowing it.

usually airdrops are safe if the registration is easy but having your information shared will photos, KYC and stuff better check it one first before joining because you might get your information stolen from nowhere and sell it to the blackmarket

I think it's safe if they don't ask for a private key or send a few fees,because airdrop is completely free by only doing light tasks or filling out forms and for airdrops from exchanges it will usually ask for KYC.

I have never come across any airdrop that sends you any string and ask you to click on them. Earlier, there were airdrops for BTC holders that required a signed message from your wallet. Examples are Byteball, Bitcore and Stellar Lumens airdrops. I participated in them, and I should say that I got good returns from these airdrops.

But in those cases, we needed to create the signed message ourselves. I just logged in to my online Blockchain.com wallet and created a signed message. And that is the proper way of doing it. I would be cautious about those airdrops which ask you to sign message using their own URL links. It is a clear sign of phishing and I would stay away from such links.

99% airdrop these days are fake does not pays you and all of them ask for KYC, they owe your personal ID documents probably they sold to some agencies or organizations who knows but it's totally unsafe to handover your documents to anyone for 1,2$.

With the current altcoin market conditions that are still weak, I think joining the airdrop asking for KYC is not a good choice. The value of the airdrop that we get is not comparable to the security of our documents and it is better that I do not join the airdrop even though to get a free token does not require a lot of effort.

An airdrop is an airdrop and should be free if they ask you to complete a task before they give you a portion of their coin, then this is no tan airdrop anymore but a bounty, do not download anything or write a string of code to your address unless you know what that codes, because airdrops now are a pennyworth, and most of the time they are bunch of useless coins.

As long as you don't participate into airdrops that have as requirements to download any wallet you should be safe.

And of course, don't you never share your private key on any unknown sites.

An airdrop is a way for the project to gain extra publicity and get some people interested in their coin. The offering is free. There should be absolutely zero obligation on the recipient's part to do anything at all.

yes you are right, and it is not recommended for airdrop token hunters to download any form of wallet just to get an airdrop token. very dangerous in my opinion, they will easily identify your data through it. actually I am personally not interested in airdrops, it's just that I remind you of the dangers of these airdrops.

If you are not giving them a private key from your personal wallet or not uploading your KYC information, then it is almost impossible to lose something.  ;)

it is important to properly store your private keys because if you just keep them on your computer, this can also lead to its loss

Back those days, airdrops are to great extent safe. But today, so many fake projects are coming up with different fake airdrops. Reason why one needs to be careful with the kind of airdrop one fills.

just do not need to send your documents to all projects. this is the stupidest thing you can do by participating in the airdrop.

As long I participate in Airdrops, it's safe. If the don't ask about private key, keystore & etc. I think it"s okay.

I also think so. I am sure that the days of free distribution of coins that carried out projects have passed. Now, under the guise of free distribution, they lure users' personal data so that they can then use them for their own selfish purposes.

Airdrops never give of what we expect for having value in the market but instead, it never makes sense at all.
Talking it safe, we gonna have that if we never participate into airdrops. Could have chances to make money if we participate in bounties and signatures campaign.

Once upon a time, I believed to do airdrop campaign. Now a days I can't believe in this because of fake airdrops. There are so many fake projects and airdrops which are done by fake people. They just do it for their own purposes and to do publicity their social media accounts,that's only. So it can be said now that airdrops are not safe at all

That's the way the project did Airdrop. For broader publications, there is certainly no free Airdrop. Here we talk about the security of the Airdrop, many people say that airdrop is safe without having to send the document or private key concerned with your personal assets.

that is the income from the airdrop, then what about the safety of the documents or whatever we give to follow the airdrop? I avoid airdrops, even though it looks very promising a lot of income.

No. Personally, I don't think airdrops are safe because they don't give what we expect from them and about 90% of airdrop campaigns are not genuine. You waste time when you follow these campaigns. I wouldn't advise you to join airdrop campaigns.

just avoid the airdrop asking for your documents just in case if you are forced to follow the airdrop.
because the results are small, and it will not be good to compare with the personal documents you will provide.

the success is indeed airdrop is the most scam campaign. does not support clear projects. but they exist to create junk tokens.
overall airdrop does not provide a decent income for us. we only make time.

I personally prefer the airdrop which was held at the same time as the bounty was launched because,  in my opinion it is safer than following the airdrop which is now widely spread links in telegram and Twitter.

As long as I participate in the airdrop. I have never felt any loss. That means I can say that Airdrop is safe, only I have Airdrop paid and some not. That's according to me a natural thing and because free airdrop is certainly the main obstacle.

Depends on what info they're asking you to share. KYC for airdrops is a dumb idea.

Also, there is a risk that you end up promoting a scam.

So always DYOR even for airdrops. There are some pretty legit ones out there.

For my favorite, check out Vite. A great project with a dedicated team. It has a killer mobile wallet with daily airdrop!

I don't really like to participate in airdrops because aside from the fact that they are usually worthless, it is also often used by scammers to steal people's emails and make the target for phishing scam.

safe or not ? you can test the tixl airdrop. there is 100 TXLT for free but you have to register there
Phase 1 is sold out .

https://i.ibb.co/JRvcg16/airdrop.jpg (https://imgbb.com/)

Personally, I can say how an attacker can send all your funds in one transaction. He has access to your wallet and knows all the passwords. It is simply not possible for an attacker to use your funds. So feel free to do your operations and don't be afraid of anything. Good luck.

It depends on what is required for participating in the airdrop. Until you don't give your private key or private information I would say you are good

Some airdrops require KYC and I personally avoid airdrops that require KYC because its waste of time and energy. Its always better to choose airdrops that dont require or ask personal information. By participating in airdrops, I dont think anyone can steal your passwords or wallet information. Its our own responsibility to keep those details safe.

I accept that airdrop isn't a thought I will readily information exchange for, bunches of airdrops simply are phony, however despite everything they didn't set aside me an excess of effort to do, and did not get much from me additionally, my data isn't that significant, perhaps one day, they'll sent you an email that you sign in on an airdrop couple of months prior, to me, that is not a major issue. Still get an opportunity to get more, I'll take it

All airdrops are safe and good to do as long as you will not do such things:

Download harmful wallet for the airdrop tokens.
Do KYC for any of those.
Giving away your private keys.
sending any amounts to a certain wallet. (selfdrop with payment)

I think as long as our private key is safe and we don't share it with others, our wallet will remain safe. In my opinion, airdrop will be safe as long as we do not share important data such as private keys, but it will be safer if we do not follow suspicious airdrops.

I have participated in so many airdrops  and  not at all are safe and most probably they are scam.As long as we keep our private keys and all our data especially bank account or personal data we are safe to those scammer.

The airdrops I have been involved in are the type that always stay around some.fixed balance. They no longer profits as old members have said in some.threads I have read earlier, the more the industry is open to all the more we are going to see shitcoins airdrops, there maybe good airdrops but will be difficult.

I have not found a dangerous Airdrop like that, maybe a privacy problem that worries me, because many Airdrops ask for KYC, I'm just afraid of being abused

I sometimes participate in airdrop, but if I find any that asks for KYC, no matter how good it appears, I will not do if.
Back in the days of good airdrops, there was no fear in participating in them, until scammers started taking advantage of it.

not all airdrops are safe because some of them required you to put private keys and some required you to download software or apps to get your tokens that possible contain a malware.. stay away with these kind of airdrops.  

yes, an airdrop is very safe. There is nothing you need to worry about the airdrop. Most importantly, you find out first whether the airdrop you want to do is correct or not. From the case you explained, there doesn't seem to be anything like it if you provide security in your bitcoin wallet.

I only say that airdrops are harmless and I have never found anyone asking for anything. But I agree if you say if an airdrop asks for something including a wallet key is a scammer.

Airdrop is easy to work with and not as complex as other Bounty programs. So that I work on Airdrop is very safe. It's just that some Airdrop projects don't give great results. An Airdrop is as dangerous as you intended. I guess never met that.

in detail really will sign a permanent transaction, because overall the water drop continues to run as usual, which gives us unceasing ease to sign several strings.

Doing airdrop is easy. Like doing some tasks that are given in general. For results it seems like everyone will never know, as long as you participate in an airdrop on a good project, of course the results will be good too. What is said to be safe is like airdrop via e-mail which includes dangerous links or kyc in airdrop and also like asking for your wallet's private key. as it is meant safe.

and what they are dangerous, I do not understand you? After all, to participate in the airfields do not need to send any personal or secret information. It is quite safe and do not be afraid to participate in airdrop. At most, it will ask to subscribe to their Twitter, Facebook, telegram. Such airfields most. And where they ask KYC can not participate, it's your right.

kyc information leak certainly exists, but there are also usual hacks of social networks where the data also come from, so everywhere there are risks

I don't think it's safe, most of them are just cheats and tokens that are generated from airdrops are totally worthless. and not even worth your work. I personally learned from past experience when following airdrops did not produce good results, the price of small tokens and some were spam.

I can't believe in airdrops now a days. Because fake people using it for their own marketing by doing some tasks. Maximum airdrops can't bring anything for the participants.
That's why, I don't believe in airdrops though still some are doing good but the amount is very low and very difficult to find out

Sending all btc for airdrop program? I think the airdrop program does not require a fee to get rewards so why would we send all btc to them even though it was a signed transaction but I am not sure it will go well and very high risk. So, whether or not the airdrop program is safe depends and at least there will be risks that require us to be more careful.

Airdrop is safe provided you follow safety measures of not exposing your wallet keys in the airdrop forms. Except you send a transaction, you can't sign it. Airdrop is free not requiring any transaction whatsoever.

Some airdrops are there just to get hold of your details like email and start using it to open accounts or trying to login to your account. I don't think there is a need to sign a transaction for airdrop except maybe I haven't come across them

It is not really about airdrops only but about downloading any suspicious or malicious link on your PC, it could make your system vulnerable to attacks. Generally, you should get some sort of warning if your firewall is active, Also, never ever fill in your private keys in any one or airdrop

Most are safe but the rewards are so low but be very careful with those airdrop form that will give some outrageous rules before airdrop would be sent to your wallet. Also be mindful of some links you sign-up on, some could be phishing.

Personally i avoid Airdrop. And it's safe or not it depends on couple of things actually. Like project, team members, why they are giving you free money, unexpected amount of coins/tokens etc. I really don't remember when i participant an airdrop. Maximum airdrop offering 5$ or 10$. I don't get into it if they have no bounty campaign. And i avoid those airdrop which offer 50$ or 100$ or 200$. Because just think why should give you someone such free money for just a retweet and subscribe some channels.  ;) ;)

I really do not have the time to fill or sign up for airdrop , one of the things that discouraged me was the reward, some could be safe and shouldn't request for money or private keys but note that some links or sign up forms are fake.

Airdrops are safe if you join them through good sources,most scam airdrops are from twitter,you should stay away from any airdrops from twitter and have a separate email for airdrops because of spammers,you will start getting messages from spammers if you start joining multiple airdrops

Airdrops are safe just as bounty programs are safe. The fact is, not all airdrops on the crypto space are authentic. Some are scam and only intended to steal the personal details of applicants. Hence, participants must be vigilant and read more about the airdrop and its project before joining.

I have not experienced that but I want to keep my address safe and free from any intrusion, and besides, there is no guaranty that these airdrops will worth something because they are not yet in the market and the probability that they will get a good price is very small, so don't believe that you are going to get $50 or more.

In last year few projects were good they distribute airdrops but nowadays 95% airdrops are fake and the purpose of the project is stolen your data and wallets. You should not join every airdrop and don't needs to sign in the message and send any GAS fees to any project, you can face trouble if you will join every airdrop without verifying the project.

Gone are those days when airdrop where actually good, legit and pays very well. I cant remember the last time  i filled airdrop form cos i noticed they are using now to gather delicate information from people. But from my experience once you don't enter your password and private key in any Google  form you are still safe

there's no way it can give u malicious thing expect u give them the Private key of your addres , as long it public addres its fine

Airdrops are safe if doesn't require you giving out sensitove informations. Airdrops are no longer worth the stress these days, bounties are barely worth anything after conclusion, no to talk of airdrops that pays about 1/30 of bounties.

Assuming the airdrop doesn't ask any personal information, it should be safe. The exception being btc forks... those airdrops are safe if you go about them the right way. That means don't sweep your private key (or use a fork tool w/ private key) until you have moved the btc to a different wallet. If the wallet is empty, worst case is someone could steal your freebie fork coins (if you go about it the wrong way, or it's an iffy fork) -- but if the wallet still has coins, they can be at risk.

there are good and bad airdrops, we can read the flow and regulations, I have experienced fraud, and finally my ethereum wallet was hacked because I followed airdrop, which rules must be kyc with utc keys, I was a newbie and I didn't know, and finally I followed the steps. a few days later my wallet was hacked. so you have to be alert to follow the airdrop

Dont bother with the airdrop scene, these days are over when you could score a hefty amount of non-shitcoin tokens from HQ projects. Rather invest your time in bounties where you can still step on something that will be worth of your time and effort.

Weird, airdrop distribution should not requiring to sign anything. What is the purpose of the sign ?
Peoples with multi accounts that joining in airdrop are able to sign as well, so it doesn't prevent cheaters from joining that airdrop.

Airdrop as long as I follow is quite good and can be relied on for security. but why I rarely follow again is not because the airdrop is not safe, just what is received from the airdrop has not been satisfactory for me, maybe not for other colleagues.
I haven't followed the airdrop in a long time so maybe what I said has changed now.

Never heard of any airdrop campaigns that requires you to have this "signings" that you're saying. And I admit that it's difficult to know which airdrop is legit or not, with so much scams happening these days, anything can definitely go wrong if no necessary research has been done. That's why it's good to follow trusted websites (https://www.coincurb.com/?utm_source=lx) to see which airdrop/bounty campaigns are legit or not. With so many happening now, you need to have websites to help out.

Never believe in airdrops, if you are required to sign something. because airdrop is given to users free of charge. so, if you find / get an airdrop via email or anything that requires you to go sign something, it is certain that this airdrop needs to be suspected.

Not only suspected but must be avoided.
I agree with you that Airdrop is free, in the sense that we do not need to spend anything except doing the assignments to get something from Airdrop. If there is nothing suspicious, of course the airdrop is safe.

No signing a message is completely different. It just proves ownership of the wallet. It cannot be used to send or receive any bitcoin. Nothing to worry about.
Keep your privatekey safe and you will be fine. Also you need to remember to take care what wallets you use. Some wallets might be scams and steal your privatekey.

Some are safe and genuine. And a whole lots of them are not. The organizers just take your details for sale and other personal dubious motive. Most especially those that require KYC.

Even I have participated in a huge number of airdrops. Some of them were very profitable and made me richer by $100 or even $250. But those times are long gone. Now you can call yourselves lucky, if you get $10 from an airdrop. And to sell this much tokens using cryptocurrency exchanges, you need to undergo the KYC process.

It will be safe if the airdrop only requires wallet address and telegram. If the airdrop requires you to verify your KYC or private key then it is definitely not secure. And it is a scammer

I think not all airdrops flying around are safe and worth participating, so watch out and scrutinize any airdrop before participating.
Be more mindful of airdrops not backed up by any reasonable project, they may just be trying to victimized you.

If some kind of transactions are required to get airdrop tokens, this is no more airdrop. I have seen two such cases for which they called "Self Drop".
Both projects were scam.
Tokens should be sent only performing some social media tasks and not doing any kind of transaction. We should also be careful checking what kind of information project asks to do the tasks eligible for airdrop.

Airdrop is the best way to introduct your coin to community. But, you may deal with many " bounty hunters " who always try to sell it faster and dumb your price.

Unless that issue, the Airdrop campaign is giving-away to present your project. So, it's safe, but hard to do.

the first reason that kept me from several air strike campaigns was because they were not safe on the other hand the rewards given from the air strikes were also not much. but for some airdrop token hunters they don't care about that, for me it's better to follow the gift than with airdrops.

I think there are currently very few safe airdrops, some airdrops currently have a high risk of having to do KYC for airdrop participants and from there your identity is exposed and you have no privacy anymore.

for me airdrop is safe if we don't send some bitcoin or altcoin. it's just that the airdrop is currently less worth it to be followed, because there is no price at the time of distribution or when on the market.

sending your data for 2-3 dollars that you can earn in Airdrop is at least very strange. because even these 2-3 dollars are not guaranteed to you

Some airdrop are not safe any airdrop asking for any sort of payment or signed message that requires exposing a sensitive information about your wallet isn't safe. Airdrop are designed d for building community for a said project. Stay safe put there.

I don’t understand why projects are requesting any data for participation in the airdrop.  the main goal of creating airdrop is to increase the number of users on social networks.

Avoid any airdrop that asks you to do such. There is something not right about such an arrangement. It is insidious and may likely cause you regret. The most an airdrop can ask for is your wallet address where the crypto can be sent to, and not that you should sign it to prove ownership. BTW, airdrops aren't worth it anymore. Most coins given out this way always end up as shitcoins.

it's very dangerous if they require you or a participant to send btc to them, you need to know that airdrops are free tokens and you don't have to bother to approve your btc transactions for them. if you take part in the airdrops campaign make it a side when you have time spare, but always be aware of any unreasonable requirements.

yup! it depends on the airdrop we choose.
there are some safe airflows that are also beneficial, but they are very difficult to find. most airdrops currently require us to do KYC, i think that makes no sense but many people still follow it.

but until now, i don't see anyone being harmed because of that.

The mechanism for signing messages is different from the mechanism for signing transactions on the network, so you have nothing to worry about. However, in any case, be careful with any of your online activities. Why is it necessary to confirm for airdrop that this is your wallet? I don’t see the point in this, so I would not participate in the airdrop where wallet confirmation is required.

Any airdrops are not safe, but it is a free money (if real) and we dont need much time to do this.

Just remember some tips.

Never do any KYC on Airdrops.
Never fill up a form asking your private key
Use an email and wallet for airdrop only different from what you are using personally.
Never send any amount just to get tokens.

Airdrop is currently more insecure,which is often caused by malware viruses through social media sites or other media,especially if you have to send bitcoin to get coins,I have long since left airdrop I think if you are interested,you should be careful because it often happens  data theft.

The best time I only enjoyed airdrop was during the bull run, all I got was ETH tokens that can easily be traded in Ether delta at that time.
But when some of the airdrop I joined ask some KYC information, I loss my interest in such as I know most of the airdrop are scams.
It will only be safe if we don't give anything, except our ETH address where they will send the free tokens.

I made a good amount from airdrop, but that was only when the time people are still in FOMO due the bull run, but then as the market starts to stabilize and correction happen, airdrop has slowly gone in the space.

But now they are abusing it and collecting member's personal information. Maybe they will use it for many evil purposes and it will seriously affect people

I think the airdrop is safe, but does not bring any profit to the participants. And we must not forget that airdrop can be a scam.

Yes, I strictly agree with this, being extremely careful is the key.

It happens but most of the time with newbies who are not well aware with how things are going to harm them without knowing it, people who are just wanted to earn without studying and without any concerns with the securities of their assets, airdrops can be good but also can do bad things when hackers able to catch your keys and sucks everything inside your wallet.

What I know is Airdrop only works to promote on social media. Not all airdrops are safe, if you ask to enter your network, it might be a form of scammer to take your funds, because that is their access to enter your account.

Well the airdrops are pretty risky. They collect all the informations and even then we are not sure that they are going to reward us with something or not. While collecting the passwords, they can also guess the password for individuals. Most people usually keep same password on different websites.

Airdrops are safe but some dubious people use airdrops as a means to scam people by asking you to send them money or your private key before you receive rewards. Be careful of such airdrops.

it depends on your definition of safe
Telegram is mostly used in crypto because of it privacy and anonymity features
You may also decide to create an ERC20 wallet specific for airdrops
You may also decide to create an email specific for airdrops

Well airdrops are kind of risky but safe and profitable though some dubious people use this as a means to scam investors. You just need to be careful about the airdrops you want to invest in.

all of airdrop campaign are safe, but if some airrop ask our personal identity like private key, personal information or something like phising we must be aware because many of them just are scamming airdrop.

and for me i never participate in shit airdrop campaign

Airdrops are meant to be free and in no case whatsoever are you required to send anything to them. Also, when they asking for private information like signing of message which involves your keys, you need to be careful especially when they provide a link for you to access your wallet with. Most airdrops are fraudulent and one really needs to be careful with the way they go about it; the first step should be having a separate wallet for all that pertains to it.

Firstly most of the airdrops are nothing but some useless coins. They never come to the market if they come the price is almost negligible. But if you reaaly want to join you can go with it. Most of the airdrops are easy to get they give some task and they you have to provide your address they send the time. But if a airdrop asking for kyc through their form. I don't think its a fine job. Many asking for sign from the address. Though it is safe but I usually ignore this kind of thing.

Yes its safe as long as they will not ask for the keys or anything , and money from you its pretty safe, don't transact to personal messages saying they are the developers or anything, make sure that they
dont redirect you to other sites and always be alert to the links, and to the thing you are singning-in
if you do those steps and extra careful your good to go and safe

Crypto airdrops, much the same as whatever else in the crypto part is inclined to tricks and cheats. There is no fleeing from this. It is similarly tantamount to utilizing the web. It isn't altogether sheltered yet you need to take prudent steps to ensure yourself against such terrible act.

Nope. You should stay away from airdrop that require your personal information and Private Key, then they can't steal anything from you. You will safe on blockchain if you keep your PK safety. Just participate airdrop that you have to fill out the wallet address.

Airdrop's goal is advertising, aimed at disseminating information about project tokens to potential investors and crypto market enthusiasts. Mostly Airdrops carry out projects that are only planning to enter the market and are not yet known to anyone. In this way, the organizers are trying to publicize the startup. However, they collect private information of the project participants, and it scares sometimes.

Signing from your wallet is not gonna take your asset off. But still you need to be careful you are not doing any kind of transaction. Airdrops these days are nothing but useless coins which take your space in your wallet. Most of the airdrops are fake and very few of them come to the market and the price of the whole things is not equal to your time that you waste in most of the cases. So joining a airdrop is not useful these days and if some airdrop rule sign massege then its better to back of from that.

Well, I don't know if it's a good idea to circulate your documents on the deep web, you never know what you can get at.
And since the airdrops produce only a few tokens, I don't think it's worth it.

Not safe, many airdrop required IDs and many ICOs is scam why i send my IDs to scammers, it is better to me to participate in IEO instead receive airdrop for the useless coin.

If those things still exist then i dont know man Is just pure waste of your time especially now I mean there is absolutely no use collecting those coins as you will not have any valuable exchange rate so quit airdropping maybe stick to some cool bounties and save yourself man

Airdrops as a means of earning in crypto has gradually eroded away. It is now filled with enormous fakes, scams and phishing elements. It has been one of the greatest sources of hacks and fraud with a lot of unscrupulous elements taking advantage of the situation to defraud a whole of unsuspecting people. I dare say, airdrops that were once a good avenue of earning good start capital in the crypto space have now become an unending source of misery and sorrows.

Do not enter your data when you perform airdrop, as there is a chance that the documents can fall into the wrong hands, and do not download strange files because the computer can be infected and your passwords will be known to other people.

Airdrop left so much shit coins and I do not think that it is worth now to join them, though there are some that really pays but few and sometimes cause for you to get scam when you are not careful on it. Much better to trade than to take risk on something that wont give you a return. It is safe not until they ask KYC for verification.

I suggest you become critical of airdops you fill because many airdrops are fake. While some may not ask for your private keys, mnemonics  or send you phishing links. Many are created to lure participants into giving away their personal data which will be sold to identity thieves or some might just be create to be used to build Telegram channels or twitter accounts. One just have to be very careful

Depending on the requirements needed, it can either be safe or a total waste of your time. Personally, I see airdrops as a waste of people time and resources. How can you like, share or post on all your social media just for $2 to $10?  The annoying aspect is that, almost  all airdrop coins or tokens are shit coins with no market value. People should stop wasting their time on airdrops.

Airdrops are free , there is no way that they will sign a message just to get a free tokens. If you see that kind of malicious it is not an airdrop at all. I have been receiving free rewards of tokens from airdrops and all what i have to do is just fill their form with the etherium address that i have. And wait for them to distribute the tokens.

yeah, i think you are right.
most airdrop tokens are worthless tokens. but there are some good airdrops to follow and have good grades, i also sometimes follow them. indeed for now a good airdrop is very difficult to find.

so, i am no longer interested in following the airdrop. i better work as a bounty hunter or trade, it is quite profitable than wasting time to follow the airdrop.

Usually most airdrops in crypto projects are safe, you won't need to do some complicated things.
But better to avoid airdrop that requiring you to sign message, or submit kyc docs because it won't worth.

The idea of airdrop is a good way to earn some free tokens for performing few tasks. However, it is good to check out the project hosting the airdrop before deciding to fill out the forms because most of the online forms are just coming from scammers, spammers, hackers, phisphers etc to collect the personal details of participants. Hence, check the authenticity of the project and its airdrop before joining.

For me, not all airdrops are safe, I have long joined the airdrop just once; there was never a requirement to have to sign and ask to send our bitcoin, because airdrop coins are free. If someone asks you to send a BTC first, that is fraud or fraud. , I suggest to be more careful with new airdrops

Airdrops are most of the pretty safe. If you have to sign through the address still its safe it doesn't do any kind of harm to your wallet. But nowadays airdrops are nothing but some waste of time. Most of the airdrops are fake and and some of them give very less quantity which almost don't have any kind of value. So I don't think wasting time on airdrop is a clever move. Now choice is yours.

Most airdrops do not worth your time because the reward is usually garbage. Any airdrop asking you to sign with your private key in order to claim it is probably scam. Well, some legit airdrops do exist like the recent XLM airdrop by KEYBASE which demands you have an account with keybase and github before 9th September to be eligible. 

worth or not is a matter of perspective but however I do agree with your opinion that any airdrop which asking too much things and could be predicted to have a garbage value is not worth the time. just pick an airdrop from a reputable project and it will be fine although the value usually lacking aswell.

That is a very good clue to all airdrop participants especially to the newbies who do not know much about how these scammers, phishers and hackers operate. Never send any token to anyone in other to be eligible to participate in an airdrop. Airdrops are suppose to be free and the highest demand it can request is to ask participants to do few tasks such joining the telegram group and follow the social media pages of the project.

If it ask you to sign anything then avoid it because airdrops are meant to be free and doesn't come with signing or anything asking for upfront payment etc. I stopped on airdrops because most of it are useless and worthless.

join airdrops that only as about your address.
most of the airdrops are just collecting info about you that turns into a scam.
just avoid giving them your email address or ID's

Or just create an email, that you are not afraid to drawn in spam.

Airdrops are not dangerous, as long as you dont copy/paste your private key accidentally and dont upload KYC info for a token/coin with mysterious background.

i marked the relevant part of your message. as soon as you have to give something before you
receive something, 99% of it is rip-off. so please stay careful and finger away from such offered. :-X

I don't really understand air droplets, because I have never participated in such a project. but logically if they ask participants to send your BTC to them makes no sense, I mean it's a red flag for you. LOL if you do it for them.

some airdrops are scam and we all know that if you sign in on it and provide them what they want to get like your funds then you will be an stupid investor right? 99% of airdrops are scams most of them wanted to get all your private keys. Its so weird right? Why they wanted to get your private keys if it is legit? Dont trust anybody even they are legendary member.

I'm not afraid to go through the KYC procedure, i have some "special" documents for it)

I don't know exactly about whether or not it is safe in the airdrops campaign, but in connection with this I don't think you need to make a transaction or send your BTC for airdrops token feedback. that's kind of a silly trick. Don't do it if you don't want to get stuck in a poop.

You should avoid any Airdrops that require you to submit your identity, for example KYC. I really will not follow Airdrop that requires KYC, they just want to take it our identity then if they use it for crime then our identity will be tainted. While the results we get are not in accordance with the energy we have spent.

Recently I noticed that after participating in some airdrops in which they asked for an email, dozens of advertising letters began to come to me and I saw that my email was on many mailing lists. Therefore, I try not to participate in airdrops anymore, but if the project looks promising and has good reviews, then I can participate in its airdrops.

You can't be expecting to earn up to 50$ in airdrops, they are called airdrops because you are only getting just a tip of the coin or token, mostly they worth around 4 to 5$, people should know this already, if you aren't satisfied with earning few dollars then stop airdrop hunt

There seem to be some decent little airdrops coming from the main professional airdrop sites. I found 3 nice airdrop sites and have decided that every day from today, I will participate in three airdrops daily and see where this takes me. I consider airdrops like crypto micro jobs and most of the time, the tasks are fairly easy and as I have a Youtube channel as well, I have decided that once a day I will make an airdrop video showcasing the various airdrops I am doing for the day and if people sign up for free, well I get a little extra too. Can't hurt to do the groundwork. I might even make a facebook group if I see it's doing well and I can earn a little extra. You never know in the next bull run which projects you collect coins or tokens for might moon, especially if they are small-cap coins with promise. What I think of mainly is that we need to be organized and do the jobs that we can do well and run with it. Some of the airdrops might be worth a lot more in the future.

I think that now people earn $ 1-2 from one airdrop. I think this is maximum. this is no longer an effective way to make money

I think it calls not airdrop but fraudulent action, that hiding under the word calling airdrop, like phishing atac

Earlier, there was an airdrop by XLM for the Bitcoin holders. In order to qualify, you had to sign a message using the Bitcoin wallet. I participated in that airdrop and received the XLM tokens from it. Similarly, there were a few other airdrops for Bitcoin holders, including GBYTE, Bitcore.etc. But in none of the cases they asked for the private key. A signed message is different from providing the private key.

Please be aware of those airdrops that are suspicious, because they will scam you. If you see that the project has no website or if they have website but looks like kids can code this website then don't join those kinds of airdrops. They will just offer you such airdrop with no payment.

Signing a message is a different thing. And about the safety of airdrops, there are airdrops that are safe and you don't give your full information to them.
They pay peanuts and why give your most important information?

- But until now, airdrops did not create value and income for participants, most of them were projects that did not require identity verification while projects that offer real rewards to everyone involved, all require KYC, and they will use our identities to do something in the future, which will be a mystery. However, many wise people have used the identities of others to earn more rewards in the airdrop, limiting revealing their identities, but I don't like these methods much, I prefer to engage in bounty and trading

Airdrop is safe, but I don't see the point in taking part in them now, because they pay very little and the time spent is not worth it

overall airdrop is very safe, and you don't have to pay a fee to sign whatever they ask for, because basically airdrop is free. Never send anything they ask for, because they might be committing fraud.

Airdrops are meant to be safe because they entails simple tasks to create awareness about the project in different ways , but nowadays scammers have looked for ways to exploit it so as to scam participants. Any airdrop that asked for your private keys or tell you to sign a certain message by providing you with a link to follow is highly fraudulent. Also, any Airdrop asking you to send a certain amount of ETH or as the case maybe looks questionable too.

i have never seen an airdrop that requires signing a message  although i have seen user that ask that before on this forum . i think they need some proof of owner ship and they will be use it on other sites  . airdrops dont also ask for your private keys but its the public keys ( your wallet address ) are the ones that they need so that they can send you a reward although some need you to fill on thier site or download another wallet  . airdrops are free  of charge so they are safe .

Well back then airdrop doesn't require such complicated things and the rewards is a generous amount but it is changing right now. So many random people are creating airdrop with shitty project ended up just making the crypto market full with their useless coin.
airdrop I must be honest is the most effective way of gathering people's data so people really need to think twice before joining an airdrop.

Airdrops is safe if we are talking about investment but it could be dangerous for your personal data privacy. You could be hacked from your data and be used for criminal purposes. So we should be careful about using our personal data by joining airdrops.

No payment! it isn't problem, if stole your information by KYC or forced to enter phishing website that is the problem. No one want to join suspicious website even also low code. Although I don't like if KYC need for airdrop participate, for me this is the scam signal.

No, I've never seen any airdrop campaigns require you to sign your address to make sure that you own it. That right there is a red flag for me. Airdrops may ask you for your email address and it may backfire at you if they start selling your data to other projects, and you'll get tons of emails regarding that.

There are projects that are focused on incentivizing their members, I guess we can say that it's kind of an airdrop where you reward people supporting and helping you out. A fashion blockchain (http://apm-coin.com/?utm_source=lx) company is using the Ethereum blockchain to reward their members who shop and later cash it out. Final word is that you should be cautious of what they ask you for, especially if they ask you to do KYC or such things.

in my opinion there is no harm in following airdrop, airdrop is safe, free, and sometimes profitabl , but that needs to be noticed, and dont give something that does not make sense. Usually the requirements to follow Airdrop only provide data according to ID card, wallet address, and social media

Unsafe, airdrops are now mostly scam and they want to collect participants' information. You will get nothing from airdrop except for tokens that have no value

thats right, and never drop your private key or secret key to any airdrop project buddy
because i ever heard somebody said that he must drop our private key in airdrop project, for sure you should not join a kind of airdrop project like that

I've never participated in any airdrop that asked for signing... usually you register (address and little more than that) and than you wait... 10% of the times you actually receive the airdrop...
I've heard about a lot of scams asking for signatures, private keys, etc...
Airdrops are free and usually worthless so be carefull about what you need to do to get you airdrop...

If any airdrop request btc or eth or fee it must be scam
And leave project and don't invest...
U can particpate to any legit project
Like Counos
https://counos.com

Airdrop are unsafe in those cases:
1) You paste your private keys somewhere. Or use your wallet.dat file in the airdrop wallet.
2) You install malicious sowtware downloaded from airdrop websites.
3) In some rare cases even airdrop website can be malicious.

Bookmark this page: airdrops.io. I am using this site for about two years and I have to say that they list only legit crypto airdrops.
Participating in airdrops that you find in a telegram group posted by spammers are highly risky because you can really loose your cryptocurrencies by sending them "FEE" or even worse private key.  ::)

Airdrops are safe as long as you are not giving out your information for these freebies, Just look at the Stellar Airdrop for example, they wanted KYC for just few Dollars to me is not worth it, but there are some that only require you to do some few tasks, like retweeting and other things

It is the best choice for the newbies to take parts airdrops because they do not really need much time and can bring good profit. However, it must be done in compliance with the rules of their own cybersecurity, and you must not think that you will get money quickly. It is not a job and not a way to get a stable income. This is just a lottery that you can win if you sure, take part in it.

Well, in most cases they are safe (but be careful with your personal data...)
Btw, it's very unlikely that you'll have some kind of gain with airdrops, usually you lose your time.

Yeah most of the time airdrops are safe. But the problem with the airdrops are they are not worthy. Most of them. Most of the times those coins never come to the market and those which come are very cheap. So ibtjink airdrops are nothing but a waste of time. Sometimes they push to collect data that's very rare though.

Thank you. Nice site. Legit you say? Well, I see no reason why not to. Nothing to lose all to gain right? Lol I once actually did pay a fee for an airdrop and believe it or not it turned out legit. 9 months later I got $100 for the token. It didn't make sense to me either.   :P

Even a long running airdrop website will never know if the airdrop is legit or might be scam a

Airdrop is safe as long they will never ask your private key.
I seen many fake airdrops sometimes they  send it to me  by an email and sometimes you can see it in social media and they are asking for privatekey.

No I don't think so they are useless totally waste of time even risky because along the way they will ask for KYC and on top of that they will ask you to invest more to unlock your airdrops, majority of them do not have a roadmap and platform that they can bring to the community.
I stopped participating in airdrops after Ebtc, you are just being used by the developers so they can get listing their coin in the exchange to dump their coin.

Airdrops are safe if you did not make any wallet interactions or transactions that can lead to unauthorized transactions without your permission, the safest thing to do is only give them your public wallet address and wait for the token to receive in your wallet. 

Maybe that was a fraud from spammers. I would be appreciated if someone can explain me why do Airdrop organizators may need a private key. One day I received letter from fake Blockchain info domain, it was very plausible but I have recognized it pretty quickly after reading article on resource HABR.

User need to exercise caution upon joining airdrop because some of the airdrop is not legit. Especially if KYC is required.
Users need to analyze whenever it's worth to give our precious data to unknown company for small airdrop.
We do understand that KYC is needed in order to eliminate multiple join, but this data could be fall to wrong hand.

Not all of the airdrops are safe, you have to make your research about the project before participating in any airdrop. Many fake airdrops are selling the data of their participants to third parties, and there are also some airdrops even asking for the private keys to access your wallet and steal your funds. So be careful before participating in any airdrop.

There are many fraud scammers here. Sometimes they make a spreadsheet asking for privatekey which is not really needed if they are legit one.
And other make thier own website samething asking for deposit before you can claim your airdop. You can not be fool with that if you are aware but not for newbie in crypto.

I hope most of the Airdrops are completely scam which they are asking for the KYC procedure which we don't know what they will do with our information. At least they might pay very low value to us which we cannot able to transfer the coin to the exchanges. So we should be very careful with the Airdrops we are joining.

I assume all of them is scam if they do that since I don't really see the point on why they ask a KYC to the participant since at the first place they are the one who offers that and it's so shady for airdrop owner to there participants. And also I think I read some informations that they will sell all the identities on the darkweb since if the case then we will be in big trouble if our identity will be use on illegal things online.

That's why we should always be very careful with the Airdrops because most of them are a scam which we don't see any value to the coin and simply asking for KYC. Some companies will ask for Private key which I don't know and this makes me most of the Airdrops are scam without any value to the coin.

Airdrops are safe as long they would not ask for your private details n order to get your airdrop tokens. Most of airdrops these days you will provide kyc which is not good for every participants.

Not necessarily IMO. If they are asking for something to download or provide them your private key or sign up using it then definitely they are trying to pull out a scam. However there are many who just ask for simple tasks like promotion or give them like on certain platform and they most likely pay also as well.

Airdrop or bounty hunters should know what they should provide them and what not.

Yes, we should be very careful with the Airdrops, sometimes the companies are asking for private keys and also a little investment to receive the tokens. In some cases, I have given access to MEW wallet, later I have lost all my coins which I am holding them in my MEW wallet.

Some people make airdrops only as bait to commit a fraud, and usually airdrops like this often require us to send ether / btc as the cost of sending their tokens and not infrequently there are airdrops that actually trap participants to enter the private key in the registration form and of course they will have unlimited access to access assets that we have in the wallet, usually those who are new to airdrops / people who are not careful will be trapped in an airdrop scam.
We should be careful and thorough in filling out the registration form of an airdrop, avoiding the airdrop project asking for ether / btc, requesting a private key and ordering clicking on a link included in the form.

Some airdrops are profitable but it will depends if they will provide an update on their project also on how they communicate with their members and before joining an airdrop you need to know on how much they will be distributing their token/coins and depending in the value once it listed on market.

And you are only targetting their token/coins or what you call "free money". And if they are promoting a bonus round for their members then don't buy it because it will be your loss and you are spending your money not getting it free.

Then we cannot call it an airdrop but a sell for thier tokens. Asking for private key i think this one is phising so dont give your private key  to any one. Join only in an airdrop that you just need to give your address and thats the only needed for that task.

since i know airdrop until now i still find some airdrops that can give coins / tokens for free without having to sign any message .. we only do some conditions like share/like or subscribe via social media .. after that we are waiting for distribution ... but if anyone asks something from us in any form then you should leave the airdrop because it could endanger yourself

They not get your fund as long you not go to their link which its phishing site so always be careful when we participate to airdrop check the site first before fill up anything and if you feel that there a suspicious in that airdrop better to avoid it. There's a lot of airdrop that legit and don't focus to airdrop there's a lot of ways to earn in crypto like bounty, social media campaigns and trading.

i think the kickex airdrop from kickico is good. it's already over 600k dollars rewards.

https://i.ibb.co/dD3QqKc/kick.jpg (https://imgbb.com/)

Airdrops are safe to join and also its free to join, the problem is how long it will takes to run and how long it will be run, because many of airdrops users are useless and almost scam for promoting their business.

can you share the link for the airdrop? so everyone here can join it
since it's my first time heard that kickico made an airdrop

There are some airdrops are worth-it and have value and some developers are very generous before but as of today no only few i know has a good project that's still doing an airdrop for free and without any exchange and just need to do the task.

And this airdrop has its value not like the others that you need to have a KYC first before getting their token since they are required to do itin their country where its registered. But, i don't recommend this because it is like giving out your personal information for just only below $1.

The only airdrop that are safe nowadays are trading altcoins, they always have 100% rating on airdrop websites and they have never failed me, get used to airdropbob.com they offer trusty airdrops

I often get emails that contain they will give you several tokens by following a number of methods but in my opinion it's just a fraud if you receive emails like that immediately delete them because it's a waste of your time, and if there is an airdrop that asks for your data and even then it should be avoided because not all airdrops pay

No, there are so many fake and shady airdrops, so you have to be very careful before participating in any airdrop nowadays. There are many hackers and stealers trying to steal cryptocurrencies by spreading the word about their scammy airdrops. Especially don't make any KYC or give your private keys to any airdrop.

mostly yes, many airdrop program could not continue their project and finally dying. If they required some eth or private we have to avoid it. Hackers behind on this program. Many saya that used to lie us in airdrop. But by this case we should not generalize airdrop. But some pay us too in huge amount.

do not follow it all, some coins that already have an active market and are listed on the coinmarketcap are safer and legit. today I was just told my friend has got airdrop / earndrop from NRG with a pretty good value. I only smiled because I did not follow the program. Many airdroppers don't have a problem with kyc, but if you follow the airdrop randomly and are fooled, this will be a problem.

That will be the best suggestions, because more of the airdrop right now ask for KYC or personal information to join, so its not really safe to join them all. Besides more of them is less value or no value at all so dont waste your time to projext without researching.

There are many fake airdrops that are used to collect the details of airdrop participants so they csn spam them on telegram and use their details(email addresses). I personally have been a victim of this.

 I suggest before joining an airdrop you verify the authenticity of thr drop so you do not all a victim to identity theft or even worse, have your accounts (email especially) hacked. This is something those that use only one password across various platforms are susceptible to.

To answear the base question, no airdrops aren't safe but its the same with anything else that involves money. There are airdrops every few minutes so the pure mass of airdrops is so high that distingushing between real and fake gets hard. Always do you research and stay as safe as possible  ;D

Don't waste your time participating with those airdrops that only provides small to nothing in value. The market is no longer friendly with such activities unlike before where you can earned huge amount by doing small things. Participating with airdrops who required you to process KYC needs to be reassess
as there are many cases where participants identities were collected without any rewards.

Indeed, most airdrop nowadays were asking the participants to pass their kyc. So kyc is become a thing and a must to do before you get the reward. Looks like such thing is to prevent people from using several or dozens of alts account so they could get more than what they supposedly have.

Some airdop might have a good value in the future, but the others not so lucky to have a good price. That is why, it's best to not blindly following any airdrops you see. Especially if it's from a shady projects or something.

Yes airdrops are safe but the rewards are very small, and in the end you will need to pass your kyc just to get that reward. 20$ for the kyc ? For now i stop joining in airdrops why because its not worth my time.

Airdrops are safe and I agree with you but mostly these airdrops doesn't have a good value and I can say don't have any value and I recommend you don't join and apply for them, and do better work and earn money

It's an obvious fact that the cryptocurrency space is faced with diverse risks and airdrops are not left out. I know some airdrops require participants to input some details, sign into accounts or register in a platform. These information could be harvested and used for other negative purposes. I understand that there are good and legit airdrops, but there are also bad ones lurking.

Well it is an airdrop which means free coins and when they ask even a little amount of money or ask too much information then it is safe to say that it is only a scam and they will use the information you have entered there in some illegal things. Analyze the airdrop first if it is a legitimate one then join but if you cannot see if a airdrop is a scam or not better for you to stay away from it, the money you thought you'll get will not be worth it once a hacker gets your information.

If an airdrop requires KYC, I wouldn't bother with it. In fact, it's probably not worth bothering regardless, as most of the time the coins end up being close to worthless.

I guess one exception might be the energi airdrop, but not sure if they plan to do any more of those.

I don't know how you say that you will not get any bother while you verifying the KYC with good or bad ICO projects airdrop campaign. Always know that no one will give security for you in the cryptocurrency field.
If you want to keep yourself safe you can stay from the airdrop campaigns which is not at all worth for the efforts we spend

Only a few times I followed the airdrop, some paid well and some did not pay. In my experience, most of them do not pay. And I have never experienced anything like you, having to sign and hand over funds to them before they send their airdrops to participants. Most likely you cheated by them and do not let you have been fooled and lost your money.

good for you that you only follow airdrops a few time but not all the time like most of us here do because if you do , you will feel how its like to be scammed and not paid  . you feel verry tired from long days / months of working and in the end your efforts are not paid off . whats good of you is that you still got paid for the few times you spent doing them  .


what you mean by that ? sign a meesage on the wallet address that you send to them  ? to be able for them to verify that it was you so that they can send your rewards ?  thats also new to me  .

basically, when airdrops ask you to sign an address with a code or anything in the requirements then at least it is the first step for us to be careful of and if i'm in that position then as soon as possible i will leave it. hey, there are still many ways to get a free token and we should be aware of that

I think the role of airdrop tokens is only to attract the attention of investors. As long as it does not involve users' critical property issues, it is generally safe.

Most of the airdrops are free, however, there are also airdrop that you need to invest in a certain coin to be entitled for an airdrop.
For instance, Pundix, had airdrop when you hold its token, but it's already over.

be careful of frauds that often occur in crypto ... many ways they do to cheat crypto users ... don't let us give something that can be self-destructive just because of a big offer and in the end we don't get anything from it even we lose because it has become their victims ... and in my knowledge while participating in various airdrops, just asking for KYC and following their social media accounts ... that's all I do if I follow airdrop .

Airdrops are safe unless they ask you to make deposit or they ask you to send out your private keys which obviously is a scam, the highest set back you can find yourself in is never getting paid, i suggest you join very popular airdrops
