Bitcoin Forum

Can you make more money participating in bounties or airdrops? I made the most money doing airdops so far, like the one from Uniswap, but long term, I think bounties like the one from candlelabsdotorg will pay off better. What do you think? Which of these methods of earning free crypto should I pursue? The candle labs bounty program involves following them on social media and beta testing their DEX, which is quite easy. Sometimes the tasks involved to receive airdrops, like the one coming up from Metamask, are actually more complicated and costly than bounties.

I checked your profile and you have registered in this forum since 2018, that should be about 4yrs. In the OP, you also acknowledged that you made the most money doing airdrop.
It is therefore true that you are in the position to give advice to newbies who wish to toe your lane. You are experienced already, you need to be advising and not seeking for one.
Besides, there is no rule that is stopping you from doing both.

Goodluck.

1. The only thing worth your time with Bitcointalk (concerning earning) is selling a service or joining a good signature campaign
2. Airdrops are really hard to get right now as the requirements have been far stricter
3. Bounties a.k.a. spamming social media with links is a total waste of time

Really, if you want to earn money, learn a skill(trading/blogging/ecommerce/etc) or get a job.

Also depends on how much privacy you are willing to trade off.  I would say you’re better off going with bounties as the airdrops over the years are requiring more and more info, some even request or require the rather invasive KYC which seems quite a bit much.

Bounties do ask KYC when the distribution begin, so all the 3 months work from the hunters will become useless if they don't want to submit their KYC. The project ask the KYC because they're claiming there are so many abusers on their campaign, but that's just an excuse only. I don't see bounty and airdrop are different, it's same by completing a task and willing to do anything about their rules.

You're better of work on real job rather than joining both of bounty and airdrop.

Agree!  These wouldn't be substitutes for real work jobs or a reason for one to quit their day job.  Typically the amount of time spend required to reap meaningful rewards nowadays on both of these just isn't really worth it unless one has nothing else to do, which would seem hard to believe.

Put up services here like signature design, escrow servcie, or anything that mostly used here. Im not sure whether bounty or airdrop are still in within here in forum. Airdrop outside forum or the one needed interaction, gas consumption are much better actually the only verdict is you need to spend and its random not sure yet.

Enhancing your skills are most imperative than rely to these bounties now. Maybe the year you started its still hot but time changes and its now just a history.

You are better off joining art contest designs that can be found in the Services^[1] section of the forum. Not only you will be given a chance to earn a great amount of cash money, but you are also enhancing your creativity skills which you can monetize from this point forward.

ICO bounties and airdrop are long gone. But if you found a decent one, I am pretty sure that the amount of money you will get will not equally compensate for the amount of time you have invested in.

That is what a litmus paper is. A person who participates only in bounties and airdrops, and surprisingly receives a good income in our time, wants to advance only along this line. From here we see his rank, although if he wanted to, he could have had much more a long time ago. This is standard behavior for a bounty hunter.


If we talk about KYC, then I am sure that such old-timers with 5 years of experience or more, who have experience in participating in bounties, simply buy other people's documents on other forums. Today this service is very cheap. They don't care about moral issues.

This time, joining bounties and airdrops won't let you earn good amount. Why not do other things like selling, trading, investing and many more that will let you earn good money. During the time I joined airdrops and bounties, I earn more money in bounties than airdrops. I earn about $2 - $10 per airdrop where in bounties I earn a total of $129 (duration - about 2 - 3 months). As of now, I don't think I can earn an amount like that and to tell you honestly, I know a friend who joined a bounty campaign then after the bounty ends he only earn around $18 - $20 for about 4 - 7 weeks. Would you still join bounties?.

It's caused by the legit developers who has been doing airdrop didn't wanna their tokens being taken by so many bots that used by some people to get more tokens for free. The strict requirements for the airdrop was a must these days. People do know how airdrop was playing on and the only thing that can be done is creating various requirements to be eligible for the airdrop. I guess if you are joining on various airdrop and these airdrops had different requrements.
that makes it become even more complicated than bounties but getting a real job is the best way. You can at least go to the mcd

Both airdrops and bounties are something anyone should avoid doing round the clock because its so time wasting, only three bounty managers make sense in this forum and all the rest are crap bounty managers with crappy projects, if you want a positive result from bounties its better to join those ones from bounty managers using escrow, for example Julerz12 and Brainboss. 

I have heard a lot of horror stories about bounties and that's why I asked. The only one I ever did, Candle Chain, payed out 25k CNDL and didn't require KYC. I'm hearing that other bounty programs either don't pay out at the end or require KYC before you can claim your rewards. Some people have been waiting years to receive their bounties and never got them. They essentially worked for free and got scammed. I would agree 100% with the other poster that said to learn how to do something like blogs to make money but at the same time, I did get a lot of money from some airdrops in the past, like 1inch, so I think there is an opportunity there. For example, if I lived in Turkey, just one 1inch type airdrop per year would be enough money to cover my living expenses, so I do think it is worth the effort.

You don't limit yourself to only 2 methods, there are several free crypto programs out there with lighter jobs and guaranteed payments on freelancer sites like https://www.reddit.com/r/beermoney/. Or you can rely on luck to get daily crypto like contests, sweepstakes etc via twitter.

Why waste time on shitcoin bounties where you can earn bitcoin from signature campaigns. I really dont get the point of the craze behind Bounties or Airdrops in this generation where altcoins are no longer the get-rich-quick thing that they had started as.

Besides giving your KYC to something like an anonymous group preparing a shady bounty only means getting your email spammed with malicious links and possible identity theft. What you get in return is a bunch of coins that will be of zero value in the coming few months when you are ready to sell them.

Probably the only obstacle I can confirm here is having a high ranked account, but we all start from zero and grow on it - so every newbie needs to go through the grind. If you have skills there are freelancing opportunities too.

Just a correction, doing bounty and airdrops is not free they will give you set of task to advertise their project and they will give you “free” tokens wherein fact those are payments. Nowadays there is no such thing as free even the faucets, they will ask you to watch a lot of ads for a small amount.

If you want to earn bigger, you need to offer something maybe selling or providing service to others.

Airdrops are always lucratives. Such is that of $LEDU. Visit https://twitter.com/eduecosystem1/status/1537036542581129218?s=20&t=pwgsK0P8bZKvW75M2r6Z7w

I think both of them are a waste of your time honestly, i can only advice you to make better use of your time in the forum and on the network, Airdrops were quite popular before, and then they could give you something, though little, but now many of them are scams that more or less want to steal your personal data and info for little or nothing in the end.

Bounties are quite similar and one of the major cause of spam in this forum, mind you that there is nothing long term about bounties, quite a lot of them do not pay and if you are active here you'd see their participants always complaining of breach of contract (no payment in the end), so you'd also be wasting your time if you take up bounties as something you want to do. What should you do? Learn about Bitcoin, that is the advice every reputable user would give you in this forum, learning about Bitcoin will help you to earn in the long run, or if you are really skilled in something, you could advertise it and see if users will be interested.

There is not a lot of money in either of those two anymore, however if I were to guess even if airdrops may seem like the best choice to some, I have read several complains against them as users never receive the payment they were offered.

Also it is up to discussion if we can call airdrops that way when in many cases you need to actually fulfill some task in order to receive the airdrop, which makes it way more similar to a bounty to an airdrop if you ask me.

I think that in most cases airdrops are not really worth to participate. Of course the one that you have mentioned from Uniswap was a whole different story but that was also not a "normal" airdrop i would say because they gave away tokens to everyone that used their platform before and i know that some people got a huge amount of money that way which is absolutely crazy. The reason why that airdrop had so much value for the individual was, that no one knew that a airdrop was coming otherwise thousands and thousands of airdrop hunters would have also participated and would have brought the token price down immediately after the distribution of the tokens.
In general i think you can make more money with bounty campaigns, even though it is hard to find a good one.

Airdrops before are way too different from the airdrops that exist today. I earned a good amount of funds from airdrops before that I used for my long-term investments. Old airdrops won't require you a lot of tasks that will risk your personal details or social media accounts. You just have to register and wait for the rewards and they pay with good values of altcoins. The airdrops that we have these days will ask you to do too many tasks but will only pay you trash coins.

The possibility of earning from airdrops is quite slim, considering the fact that most projects turn out to be unsuccessful. Bounties are not very lucrative, but when you're fortunate to have a good bounty manager, it's possible to earn a decent amount. The best approach to earning in the forum is obviously by rendering services and participating in signatures that pay in bitcoin or stable coins.

Bitcointalk bounty programs are not as lucrative as they used to be.
Form type airdrops are a waste of time, most of them are scams anyway.
For airdrops, you can try your luck for "use to earn" style airdrops. Join testnets and use platforms that don't yet have tokens...
(You will have to afford to pay a transaction fee for this.)

Talking about airdrop nowadays for me it's hard to trust and earn through airdrop cause as we know that many scam sites catch your attention to participate with them but at the end of the day, they will leave without any further notice.  And in bounty campaigns yes you can earn money by joining bounty campaign which is the tweeter, youtube and others but what they are telling is that you need to find a good one so that you can earn. But if you need good income for sure getting a job is more effective.

Many of those did not pay out in the end and one even attempted to bait me into their phishing site through email. Happy to hear that you still earned back then though, but surely it is not efficient as it was back then. You might be better off in non-crypto related stuffs to earn more now.
In the long term, it is not something you could make "living of".

I am getting good payment from the signature campaign that I am wearing right now. In my opinion, as long as we can have an exact reward, it is very worthy to follow. It may be different with the bounty that is paid with their own token, in which the reward is still not clear, based on stakes, or it is still even not sure that the tokens will be listed and worthy or not later. 

I heard about this, many people can earn very high rewards from certain airdrops. But, this is too rare to find the worthy rewards for airdrop, isn't it?

Basically, bounties are designed to pay better than airdrops. But recently, some of the bounties that I participated in have made payments that is very small that makes me wonder if bounties are now modified airdrops. Bounties involves more tasks while airdrops are simpler. Ideally, participating in bounties should fetch more money than airdrops, but my recent experience makes me wonder what bounties are turning to, are airdrops now better? I have also observed that there is increasing number of scam bounties. Once in a while you could meet bounties that pay well. I think bounty managers should look into ways to attract worthwhile projects that pay bounty hunters bounty reward not like airdrops.

You're right, the mechanism is very well designed as a promotion rather than the same like airdrop. Sometime airdrop was just also designed as a promotion but this is only following and reposting tasks. Bounty is always related with the promotion that already done by the team to increase the engagement and followers in the market. So bounty was paying better than airdrop but sometime this can be a scam like airdrop as well if the dev was fooling the participants.
Legit airdrop has very strict requirements.

I have been registered on the forum for several years and in all these years of registration I have never won a considerable amount in airdrops, so I always choose to participate in subscription campaigns, in addition I do some translation work which also earns me some money.

The thing is that now this type of earnings is not the same as it was before. It takes a lot of time to find something that really deserves attention and time spent. Moreover, the situation on the market is very sad. And at best, ten percent out of a hundred appear projects with a promising future. So there is no definite answer to this question. Use your time wisely. The best thing is to direct your potential to learning and gaining skills in the cryptographic field and IT technologies in general.

Airdrops have somewhat gained a bad reputation like ICO projects and this is due to the spread of scam projects, it is good that they have disappeared from the forum. Therefore, whoever wants to do some simple tasks and try his luck, he should participate in the Airdrops on Coinmarketcap, where the success rate does not exceed 1%, so the bounty is the best for everyone in earning free tokens, but you have to work in the bounties that are managed by trusted BM.

To me, the two are not much different, both have the same goal of promotion the project. Only the way it works is slightly different, airdrops often have instant tasks that can be completed in no more than a day, but bounties often have long tasks or durations to promote a little long. In addition, the prizes offered are also different, bounties often get more prizes because the system of work carried out is indeed long

Airdrops of these days comes with the cost of paying for your gas fee which may be exhausting especially when it's on the ethereum blockchain. Even after spending on the gas fee, there's no certain that the project would do well. The cost of bounties are your time and data. Most bounties are not lucrative, but when you're fortunate to have a good project, then it could be very lucrative.

This is what makes bounties something worth giving a shot, you said it yourself that you will get paid in a token that may or may not get listed or even have any value on the long run, what about those that ends up having great value? Hahan! Few bounties have paid reasonable amount of money too.

If I prefer bounty, because there are many bounty projects that can make money and they often pay us according to the time that has been determined, but there are also some bounty that cannot reward the performance of the followers so that they disappear without any news, and for airdrops when it is difficult to find those who can pay us fully, but if we find a good one then the payment given is greater than the bounty project.

If talking about airdrops, it's not as much worth following as it used to be,
actually both airdrops or bounties are equally profitable as long as we can use them well but if I had to choose one I would prefer to join the signature campaign,
obviously everyone has a choice depending on preferences

There's no denying the fact that airdrops and bounty programs have gotten a lot of people interested in cryptocurrency. But there are definitely some differences between these two methods of earning free crypto. For example, airdrops sometimes lack consistency, whereas you can generally expect to receive bounties for completing certain actions with relative ease. Ultimately, finding out which method of earning free crypto is right for you involves some careful consideration as well as experimentation. I think, choices and decisions are in the hands of each of us.

I joined both Bounties and airdrops a few years ago and base on my experience, bounties are more profitable at that time.
Right now, both of them aren't worth your time (for me). The amount of money you can get is very low compare to the amount of time you are spending.

If you really want to make money, be a freelancer, learn a skill and use it to get online jobs. Relying on both airdrops and bounties themselves isn't enough. TBH, working 9-5 is better than working on these 2.

There are two different sides to participation in Airdrop and Bounty, although both are free programs that generate coins, Airdrop itself is currently starting to lose the interest of many people, while the bounty is still quite large. Bounty campaigns have some way of working social media, and signature campaigns, but so far I personally prefer signature campaigns, moreover you can be accepted on service campaigns that are paid for using BTC

Bounty and airdrop totally different. airdrop just collect group members and social followers. airdrop not bring any investors. and 95% airdrops members is fake. After complete airdrop task all airdrop hunters are go offline and they search another airdrop. They are not help to actual  promote for any project.  but on the bitcointalk bounty here all bounty hunters is real and they will work for your project regularly. and it will bring investors and increase  project social active activity and increase  project  demand and population

I have participated in many airdrops so far but have not received any payment. It is a pity that I did not participate in Uniswap airdrops. However I have made some crypto income by participating in Bounty. United crowd is a good bounty. Many have earned large amounts from here and they have paid on time.

Airdrops offer very few rewords. And you have to invite your friend for collect more reward. Who is this very annoying. But in the bounty campaign. You can do your job alone. Which is a very easy and Hassle free. And there is no referral problem here. 

I personally prefer bounties over airdrops because bounties can give prizes as promised, although it takes a little time in the token distribution process, but bounties can provide maximum benefits in the future, for now I will not participate with airdrops because it will be a waste of time of course, so many airdrop scams and deceiving participants, frankly I'm bored with airdrops and don't want to be in them anymore.

Correction doing bounty is not free you need to obey the rules and do work like advertising the projects to make it well known to most of the investors in crypto. Bounty is different from airdrop but this is a very simple way to get free token but most of the airdrop is very cheap coin or meme coin very low value and some are not listed yet, i always prefer doing bounty than airdrop maybe i am not lucky on airdrop because i didn't earn on it, i get the most earning from bounty.

If you google a little bit, you will find dozens of sites that list all the upcoming airdrops with all the rules but even when doing all the airdrops on these sites, most will be scam or distribute useless tokens.


Bounties can also be a complete waste of time as you need to find the good ones... Participated in many bounties before and only 3-5% was really worth doing it in my eyes.

If you want to join the legit airdrop then the CoinMarket Cap app is best. There they are already told both the date and the time. Just try to complete it as soon as possible terms & Conditions.

The era of 2016 and 2017, I admit Airdrop and Bounty, the solution to get a lot of income, the current era is not, I give up a lot of scam Airdrops and Bounties, during 2021 and 2022, it is rare for Airdrops and Bounties to succeed to get good results, for that I am now turning to Bitcoin only for investing and trading.

I would say both of them are waste of time as what's the fun of getting some tokens that will be lying dead in your wallet after some time or even get dumped by the whales that you can't even sell them.Have been through this and would not advice you also to this so rather focus on acquiring some skill that can be helpful to you in more useful manner.

The 2016 and 2017 era is impossible to be repeated, besides the high paying airdrops and bounties, since the market drop is significant at the end of 2018 I quit Cryptocurrencies and at the end of 2021 back again because I saw the skyrocketing market, of course the biggest factor that made the bounty and airdrops paid high Because they succeeded in achieving hardcap, even many projects can collection up to hundreds of millions of dollars.

I am quite surprised to hear that bounty hunters still do airdrops, personally I believe that airdrops had been a thing of the past, it's no longer rewarding any longer, participants are just wasting their time and most of the tokens will waste a space in their wallets, the era of earning decent rewards in airdrop has gone for good, unfortunately now their are countless numbers of airdrops without any roadmap, some developers just create tokens from nowhere and launch it into crypto system while encouraging hunters to test with their own coins.

The way new projects appear in this market is different from the fact that they launch marketing programs to attract interaction, users, investors,... So don't bully yourself because In a way, I found that after a period of exposure to this market, adapting and making money from it is not too difficult, with just a little knowledge of computers and the market along with the right experience. I think bringing in money is not a difficult thing to do with daily work. A lot of free money can be earned with every trend that happens, and until then, learn more about asset management.

not sure overall. maybe for me more precisely airdrop and bounty is luck. in the case of an airdrop like Uniswap this is one of the many profitable airdrops. I still remember that Uniswap offered free airdrops  especially to traders who were active on Uniswap dex at that time. they had clearly lucy  greatly at that time. for the bounty program I haven't seen any results so far.

At this time I think that being involved in the airdrop program can no longer be a place for us to expect income because so far most of their airdrop organizers only provide a very small amount of rewards for us, even some of the rewards they provide have no value at all so it would just be a waste of time to get involved in an airdrop program like that, for me personally, maybe following a bounty would be more profitable than an airdrop program for now.

My biggest crypto earning was from bounty hunting. The problem is just the difficulty in knowing the project that will worth what at what period. Bounty is now like a game of chance in which you either win or lose the time invested in it as we have seen bounties with expected-to-be-great projects ending up as flops.

Personally I had earn much more from airdrops as well as too much earn from geniuen bounty campaign too . I had earn from UniSwap and ENS and some small airdrop too while on the other hand I participate in legendary bounty manager campaign like yahoo, Murat, cryptobrainboss, bounty detective , Hhampuz these are the BM which give me handsome money for work.
So I believe both will reward a handsome money .

It depends I guess on the project but if let say both are equally good projects then I think you can earn more with bounty since it requires a much harder task like creating your own unique post whether on this forum or on other platforms whilst on airdrops you are only required to like their posts, follow their accounts and then do a repost.

The airdrop from uniswap is one of the biggest in the history of airdrops and we can say that it's bigger than most bounties on that time. Many people then assume that other dexe's will do the same but unfortunately its not the case that happens. There are some that pays but they aren't big as uni airdrops.

Both are the worst. Still, people earning from bounty and Airdrop? Isn't waste of time? I don't think Airdrop even gives you a return of your Internet bills lol. On the other hand, most bounty campaigns are scams. Either they don't pay or rug investors and hunters. Better learn something else and earn like trading and service. Nothing is free in the world. Don't run for free money, work hard and earn. 

Doing bounties pays more than just airdrop.  If you happen to get in a bounty campaign for a promising project, you can earn a good amount of money.



You are right nothing is free in the world just like participating in a bounty campaign.  There are projects that pay well while there are some that pay a worthless token.  So whenever we aim to participate in a bounty we should check first the project, the bounty allocation, and the participants.  If the calculation will yield us a good earning then join it if not better look something else.

At first, what kind of bounty and airdrops to follow?
Many bounties are shit, and so do the airdrops, worse than bounties.
In the past, many people might find that airdrops were very worthy to follow, even only by giving wallets and we could get rewards. But nowadays, since 2017, airdrop requirements were harder and harder. Worse is that none is worthy, they are worthless.
So do the bounties, we must be careful and smart to choose wich bounty that will probably pay you rewards, token listing on top exchanges,a nd also rpice probabilitie.

Indeed, just a waste of time. We still see a lot of people joining airdrops and bounties because of their stupid belief that this makes them rich, this will give them financial freedom which is too far from reality. We don't know how long these people will see the reality and change their minds. In fact, we already spread awareness to the forum but still, they are blind not to see the scam issues. We just hope to see what we already know about airdrops and bounties that could change their mindset.

you can earn more if join on retroactive airdrop as early user, uniswap and optimism could be simple example how many they give us money. although sometime dev team didnt confirm yet about their native token , and we speculate spending money as gas fee but when there is official release about airdrop for early user i am believe it really worthed for us.

For those who are able to qualify and remain qualified, the Signature Campaigns appear more worthwhile than either above, esp given the fact you're not really giving up any personal info- this is a crucial.

i think your opinion completely wrong dude, maybe you should join to airdrop telegram group which is share alot project that devide alot free token. it is true not all airdrop or bounty campaign project give us money , most of them scam but when we find the good project one , it worth with salary for several months.

^ Really?
I have lost interest in participating in bounty and airdrops because it is totally useless and doe not have to make sense when you get their token but you cannot be sold them in exchange because of a huge gas fee of ETH. Especially in Telegram which I completely hate that social media, full of scammers and you don't know even who are those legit ones. How can you spot a good bounty campaign? or just gamble your effort and time hoping that you will receive a good reward at the end.

Bounties and Airdrop for long gave quite a good income but now good bounties are rear, there are lots of Scam project, and most times you don't get compensation that equals the time and energy consumed in Times of carrying out bounty activities.

 Bounties and airdrop is no longer a sustainable way to earn income, I think opening a grocery store, learning how to trade the forex market, investing in real estate, learning hacking and 3/4D animation and how to create NFTs  are better ways to prepare ones self so that you can earn a sustainable income.

airdrops vs bounties? wow, it's very interesting to discuss, I'm sure everyone here will also follow both of them, I myself also follow Bounty and Airdrop if there is one,
there is a difference in bounties and airdrops, of course about prizes, in the prize airdrop there is really no allocation and the participants also a lot, so we will definitely get a little prize,
usually $10 is a good thing in airdrops, but in the bounty of course there are conditions that must be met as well, especially having an account on this forum,
without that we can't follow the bounty, and about reward, I think the bounty is much better.

They are all ways for people to generate income in this market, but I am not an expert at it as I see many other things that offer attractive opportunities as well. Everyone will see and approach it in different ways to generate income. I remember myself receiving huge airdrops from UNI or many other platforms, as well as bonus programs that I have been involved in. But over time, I also learned some other ways to make money, such as collaborating with some projects to do media for them, and the money received also makes me satisfied with the time spent for it.

there is no good reason to make money from bounties or airdrops at this point and it will just be a waste of your time.  the only way to make money in this industry with or without spending capital is to sell your skills services related to bitcointalk forums.  if you don't have the skills and knowledge you have to do research, learn about altcoins so you can carry out trading or investment activities.

Airdrop and Bounty are two different jobs included on the same platform but the two jobs are the same but the credibility and authenticity of the two are different. If you airdrop a little, there will be Unlimited Participants  If you do the same thing in Bounty, you will see that there are participants from one thousand to 15, then look at both of them, but look at the issue of taking money.  You may believe in many bounties, but Airdrop is not all believable, but comes in a very limited form, but believable.

You're right as most airdrop rewards are worthless but bounty campaigns, they kinda hit or miss. Some bounty campaigns give you a very good reward if they got listed in the exchange or seem like a good project. But the rest are paying just barely enough for your effort.

Both are death now so currently answer is no more money airdrop or bounty. My advice don't spend huge time for participate bounty or airdrops programme and beside follow your real life business or study. Your rank is to low so you can join only social media bounty so 95% bounty is death now. Although try to others way for making money from internet.

If someone do airdrop he get small reword if he going to exchange that token he will not able to exchange it . because must of exchange ask minimum $10 for exchange on the other hand must of time reworded token price didn't able to cover gas fee price  :D and must of time every airdrop hunters get scam token which token not listed in any exchange . Overall airdrop just waste hunters time

I think choosing a telegram airdrop is the best because the task to do is very easy and after that you only need to invite friends to participate by providing a referral link. if you choose a bounty you will be tied to a daily or weekly task and this takes longer than working on a telegram airdrop. then which one makes more money? no one knows because it all depends on the quality of the project.

Some users of the forum have been attempting to get into every bounty and airdrop possible, this only leads to a waste of time and electricity because these coins will be worth dust in the next few years and they will only be inflated with big but fake promises.

Still such users will not learn their lesson from older members of this forum and continue to do so. The craze behind bounties has currently reduced but it is still there. I dont get why such users dont attempt to improve their ranks gradually and then go for bitcoin paying signature campaigns.

Getting rich is not easy, but needs a clever approach, which is not going to be through bounties or airdrops.

Airdrop vs bounties, I choose bounties. If Telegram airdrop is easy task but most of airdrop are scammed. They don't give us airdrop reward. But some bounty manager still giving us hunter reward.If you have enough time to work then I'm interested to you can do bounties word and make money.

Merit is the main obstacle for members to improve their rank. You need to make a lot of posts and threads in good quality to get enough Merit. For years doing that to rank up from Full Mem to Sr Mem or from Mem to Full Mem. So a lot of users don't have any choice but to stay with sign campaign, earning pitiful rewards with their rank.
Worse, the bear market also influences the price of bounties and airdrops to drop further even before they are rewarded to the participants.

I Don't know about airdrops because i haven’t participate it and if you are taking about bounty then we should participate professional manager bounty. Some old manager manage few bounty which is usdt payment with escrow system. So we can join there even reward pool is low but you will got paid sure.

If merit was like a problem for some user here then I am pretty sure that they are here for the wrong reason. If a user is here for the right reason, s/he would not mind anyway on how much merit s/he earns in any day.
It is just a like button in the end or upvote button if you're going to compare it to Reddit.

Kinda sad that some people are seeing this forum as an earning platform.

This can be a good source of income, signature campaigns seems to be more effective and seriously this is my only income here since I also don’t participate on airdrop because its too hard to find good airdrops nowadays, and they are now requiring for more job before you qualify. There’s still a lot of good opportunities here, you can also join in some contest and have a chance to win.

Because of the high number of scam currently, I have so much believe on bounties rather than airdrop, because so far I have not come across any real airdrop that really pays.
Have done bunch of them and non has giving me real money more than 20$ apart from the safepal airdrop which was long ago.
But for bounties, their is no month I don't get paid in this forum weather it's small or huge, but it's worth it. 

I think airdrops are nothing more than a waste of time. Because I never got any payment from these. There is some payment from Bounty but it takes a lot of patience. Because now the number of scam bounties has increased. However, the guarantee of getting payment from the managed bounty of CryptopreneurBrainboss is much higher.

If you do have the time then the more the better airdrops you do gain and as long you dont really need to comply KYC or make out some deposits or something like that then it should be fine.
We know that bounty hunting and airdrops could really give out that chance or opportunity for you to make some good amount of money if the project ended up to be a successful one
or simply does have the potential but dont make your hopes up considering on how many trash projects in the market then this is something that makes a hard thing for you to
be able to get some considerable or significant rewards anytime you do make out some involvement on particular projects thats why its better to accumulate if you can
but dont expect too much so that you wont really be that stressful.

Good manager can at least give an assurance that you can be paid, most of the bounty now are being escrowed by the manager so that’s a good opportunity for you to participate. I also don’t believe on airdrop anymore, they are just keep on asking for personal details then later on, you will get nothing even if you do the requirements. Though some are still trying to participate for the hope that they can get the good airdrop, there’s nothing wrong with this and its really your choice either to participate or not.

Right now, I am a part of one of the signature campaign here in the forum. Some of my friends are getting airdrop outside this forum, they get their links on Twitter and telegram. But don't expect too much om airdrop, most of them are fake and will only takes your time, but it doesn't matter right? as long as your privacy is safe and you don't spend anything for it.

Just follow both, but don't be so surprised if in following an airdrops your wallet gonna be spammed with some random shitcoins because airdrops are usually just results in shitcoin if it doesn't come from a great quality project.
Instead the great quality projects airdrops also rarely appear for the simple fact that great projects with an airdrops nowadays aren't that much and if there is any, definitely gonna be millions of people following the airdrops.

It depends on the potential of a project. There are potential projects managed by reputable managers that run airdrops and bounties but they're too rare. There are also lots of airdrops and bounties that fail and usually pay shitcoins which will only be a waste of time so doing research is too important. But we shouldn't expect that good airdrops or bounties still pay huge coins just like before.

Getting involved in the forum discussion will gradually lead to accumulation of merit, it is a grind indeed for many users but the point of coming to this forum should not be ranking up to join a campaign, but to discuss and learn about crypto in general. I can see this from a newbie's perspective to be a daunting task, but merit sources are generous enough and do identify quality posts with tact. Read and try to get involved, it takes time and you might not like it but it works out gradually.

I will say that bounties have always been like that and airdrops even worse. The only thing that does not change with bear market, is the bitcoin price and hence should be the one being being aimed for.

Bounties and airdrops have long ceased to be effective methods of making money. I don't think it's worth wasting time on them any longer.
Obviously, not all of them are scams but sometimes it is hard to find a worthwhile project and we will get very small rewards, sometimes they are not exchangeable.  If the bear market is a very difficult place to make money then you can find yourself online jobs other than crypto, which is also a good way to survive during this time.

It is safest to choose a project that is managed by a manager who already has a good reputation and that is important,
but for airdrops it seems like now this can be said to be a bit worth following,
what is clear is that I prefer to join the bounty rather than the airdrop and everyone has their own choice

I find Bounty programs easier to participate. because they don't have big requirements just some simple rules such as following social media accounts and then doing your regular tasks.
but for Airdrops nowadays the rules are very strict. some airdrop require to do KYC. some require to do a specific amount of trading etc etc. and some  even ask to connect your wallet with website and sign transactions in order to claim your bounties which i think is very risky and shouldn't be done on any websites.

that's why i prefer Bounty programs.

Bounties are better and its more satisfying when you did hardwork to receive the payment. Not like airdrops that are given for free and most of it where just scam attempts. It will just dirt your wallet filled with dusty tokens that's not gonna get better. Worst of all, you will pay a fee if you want them out of your wallet lists. It's all exhausting waiting for them to have value.
While in bounties, most do have a value already even if they pay at low amounts.

With my current job, bounty or airdrop programs are a sloppy distribution of time, although I also know the opportunity to make more money if I focus and work hard on it. But sometimes we also need to realize what it is to earn money to do with the life we have. A lot of money, but at the expense of other things in life is limited. That's not what I want. Today, I find it very easy to make money in the cryptocurrency market with just a phone or a laptop, and with certain skills, it is not difficult to generate income to spend for life.

At least we have to keep thinking realistically, that we must still do real workers, while crypto is a bonus for real work and we can do this work in our spare time, unlike people who have strong financial resources, they can think to sit back while monitoring market movements, then buying certain coins in large quantities for trading, big investors do that while we only take advantage of the results of the bounty campaign or Airdrop

Bounty or Airdrop many of them are scams but I prefer Bounties rather than Airdrop because still there have a bunch of Bounties worked rightly to give payment to their Bounties hunter. Mostly it depends on the project that how & how last long it worked & also project manager. But most of them are scams.
 I have only seen the best way of income on this forum is Signature. instead, of Bounty and Airdrop. if someone is a Legendary member their 1-week payment is more than if a buddy has joined two, or three campaigns at a bounty for 5,6 weeks their payment is less than having. that's your own decision which one is better. less time more money or waste of time & less money even if nothing

Bounty is far better than Airdrop, because they are many fun on bounty campaign, which i like doing as a means of adverts on a particular project, mostly during ICO and IEO to promote the project, While Airdrop campaign mostly one time report and airdrop have a very high scam than bounty.

I agree with you that Bounty is better than Airdrop. However, there are some airdrop from which many have received huge payment with little effort such as UNI, Lunaland etc. However, since payments are not available from more than 99% of airdrop, many did not participate in these airdrop. On the other hand, if you participate in a good bounty after a little research, it is possible to make a good income from here.

In my opinion, if you choose between airdrops and bounty companies, then for me it is better to participate in bounty companies, and here's why. The fact is that airdrops are a small opportunity for additional income and very often you get a penny for the work done. As for bounty companies, here if you are lucky and you find a good bounty company, then you will get the opportunity to earn good money. Yes, of course there are exceptions and often there are problems with both payments and the final result of work in bounty companies. However, if we discard all the minuses and pluses, then how for me participation in bounty companies brought me more income than participation in airdrops. But I can also add that to get the maximum income, you need to take part in both airdrops and bounty companies, then the chances of earning income will be greater.

I often follow Airdrops, but the competition in the number of participants makes the chance to win is very difficult, even in my opinion Airdrops is currently wasting a lot of time, it's better to participate in bounties in this forum which has proven better than having to compete with 10,000 participants .

Right, getting a job is the proper way for a better income, however, I still believe that there are many people that are using Bounty hunting for now for their main income as they don't have other jobs if you are able to work with the right Bounty projects. That said, some bounty projects have been painful over the years and Airdrops are totally out of it cos for those that do pay, it is mostly a small amount and the number of participants with these Airdrops is mind-boggling compared to what is allocated.

I do not agree with your opinion because there are also many bounties that do not pay or provide payments that are not in accordance with the specified allocation. In other words bounties and airdrops have the same potential to commit fraud against community and investors, the difference is only if your bounty has to work every time but in airdrop you only need to work once.

I'm not too sure about the many airdrops that I join the airdrop but there is no result but as long as I join the bounty I can increase my income especially now that there are many bounty projects that pay every week.

if you compare the airdrop in 2022 with the bounty in 2022 of course the airdrop is better, because the bounty is only a few,
and the prizes are also small, especially with the work we have to do is also very difficult,
in contrast to the airdrop which only does 1 task and all done, even though we only get $ 5, but we can participate in many airdrops

I haven't participated in any though, but with the experience being shared by most of the forum users who have participated in one of these before, it seems like the time Bounties and Airdrops give money has gone. most of the new bounties and Airdrops are scam projects that did not know when they will be successful. for me now, I take participating in bounties and Airdrops as a waste of time and exposure to being scammed.

I prefer airdrops also

in my opinion uniswap is not an airdrop but a great gift for people who have traded there (at that time), for now don't expect more results from a bounty or airdrop because it will stress you out :D

to be honest, i believe these 2 activities are not worth your effort anymore these days. but hey, if you have so much time, no one is stopping you from joining these airdrops or bounties. but if you happen to join these activities, don't expect much because you are like collecting dust from these programs.
if you have other skills, much better to look for other worth-paying jobs.

airdrop for early  user maybe i called it or usually called as retroactive. Retroactive airdrop still have potency to become legit project for hunter.  Hop or optimism be example how legit it is. There are alot platform that hasnt confirm yet about airdrop so we still have chance to try this platform to be eligible in next airdrop if comfirm release token.

definitely agreed with this airdrops nowadays mostly just giving away useless tokens, even the project are mostly shit projects with no real innovation and finding great project that did airdrops is like finding needle in a haystack.
Instead with bounty, we could judge ourselves which project are worth doing therefore we could get the great reward if we could choose the great projects

Airdrop and Bounty are not one because Boundary Participants are low and Airdrop Participants Unlimited is attended by millions of people but the spelling is a maximum of 1500 to 2000 and there are more than two jobs to donate and donate.  The day you join, you only work on that day. If you join, there is no more work.

my friend's opinion above is very true and it has become a reality, seeing the beginning of the airdrop is actually quite promising but gradually the airdrop starts to deviate a lot and the payments are not clear. if you want to compare with a bounty, all will say the same thing that a bounty is better. but now i don't see any bounties that are as good as in the beginning, now there are also many bounties like airdrops, not clear and not paying well.
indeed at the moment both are not very promising but there is a slightly better chance there is at the bounty.

Well Betfury is a casino that always makes a difference, I would say that it is one of the most reliable with its BFG token, however I would say that for now those who have accepted that their payment in the campaign be in BFG is a good decision, I know that passive income is still being generated on the platform so it is a great option, I would say that it is a wise decision to accept BFG at this time so that when the price of BTC rises, BFG has a great growth. In the case of Airdrops since 2017, I don't see any being profitable, I haven't seen any Airdrop so far that is of that level in that year.

I think the bounties in this forum are still good, although only giving a small payment but this is a reality, and since a year I have never participated in the participation of the airdrops again because the competition from the participants is very tight, most of the airdops today is a lucky system, the winner is only 1000 but the participants can reaching 50k.

From my personal experience of participating in bounties or airdrops, I can say the following for many years I have participated in airdrops and bounties and concluded for myself that participation in airdrops turned out to be almost meaningless for me since I did the work and there is no earnings at the exit. But when I take part in bounty projects, there is almost always a positive result. And now I began to devote more time to bounty as I get a good income.

The chances are indeed getting smaller and for me personally it is not in accordance with what we have done for it,
so I prefer to join the bounty which is more feasible and I realize everyone has their own decision,
the most important thing is to do your research before joining the bounty because scam projects still exist and it's better to minimize risk

I think it's still in the airdrop category because to get tokens you don't need to buy, exchange or make transactions worth $xxx is a condition to get an airdrop and you won't lose money because of it.
so now you don't expect more on bounty or airdrop? then why are you still on this forum and participating in the bounty?  ::)

In my opinion Bounty is the best. Because at present, if you do 100 bounties, you can get 20 bounties. And if you do airdrop, it is very difficult to get the payment because At the present time, almost all of them are scams. So I would say bounty is the best. Then your decision. Let's come to agree .

2022 I think the year of the airdrop, because there are many airdrops that appear this year,
and many also get big prizes, yes, although some airdrops always use first come first serve, but don't worry,
not only 1 airdrop, but more than 10, you you can find it on telegram, I'm sure every day you will be able to follow the airdrop

Telegram airdrop also scam system so no indeed believe. Otherwise there are many bounty in btt so you should participate best bounty which project have more chance for successful. Even if you can got btc usdt payment bounty then wouldn’t miss them because its true payment.

The form of airdrop OP is referring to is not the airdrop you are thinking of. He said he got a big reward from Uniswap, and I agree. That reward is distributed through Airdop, but only for first-time users from Uniswap, not for social media spammers. It is a fairly common form of airdrop these days and you can make a lot of money if you take it seriously.

I still have not seen this type of airdrop on the forum, currently the airdorp on the forum is still using the old method and they cause spam everywhere.

I remember the heyday of airdrops and bounties run by Sylon, I've experienced Airdrop results at incredible prices, not anymore, either there are lots of airdrops and bounty scams, but I often see complaints suffered by airdrop and Bounty hunters nowadays, unpaid or worth zero, Few years ago around 2017-18&19 yes, now no.

I mean that ain't that much of a bad idea at all. I am not saying that it is a great profit and everyone should do that. But we live in a world where 200-300 dollars is good enough for some peoples monthly living expenses, not me, I spend about a grand, but I still understand making lesser.

And these people end up realizing that if they have like 5 great accounts in everywhere, bitcointalk, twitter, etc etc and they could just end up writing and applying to all bounties, then they could easily make 300 dollars per month without a doubt. They could even make more and use that to grow bigger and get more money in the future. Sure this may not be a good job for an adult in USA, but it is quite cool for third world nation citizens.

2017 -2018, that was the year when bounties and airdrop are really worth participating in, many hunters got decent rewards and value for their participation. But for now, that was very opposite, I can't even find legit bounties, and much more with airdrops.
I can also remember Sylon, he run and manage several bounties but look at now, he's gone totally and that might be because he is tired enough to look for good projects to manage as many of these days are just scams that could also ruin their reputation.

I haven't found any legit airdrops recently but I'm looking forward to the zkSynch and Metamask ones. As to bounties, like I said, I got the CNDLchain.com one and it's still live. I haven't had success with any others.

What do you think? Are giveaways worth participating in?

You need to find what works for you, I started with airdrops and the majority of the projects do not pay, I had to start promoting bounties and so far the result isn't good, another thing we need to understand is we are in a bear season, many new projects won't show up in such period.

in bounties you need to be accepted. and in airdrops you need to be qualified for the rewards. both works differently but it is easier to join bounties because competition is low and chances of getting accepted is higher on other hands airdrops reaches to maximum number of participants so quick and it is difficult to qualify there.
but there are some airdrops which pays really well if you are lucky and get a spot on time.
otherwise bounties are good side hustle.

Indeed in bear season it is not as busy as in bull season but there is still a lot of work that can generate from airdrops and bounties and there are also new projects.  the problem of not getting paid or no value it's a common thing it can be a valuable experience to be more careful in choosing a good bounties project

In doing work on Bounty and Airdrop we can get maximum results if the project we are participating in is successful and provided we hold the token until we get the best price, even though there is only a small chance that we will get by doing bounty and airdrop only because all the results given randomly so that from both the results given can get the maximum result.
