Yes- airdrops may require private keys or some other personal information in order to participate. Of course, the airdrop then carries out malicious acts with the information they have been given.

In response to OP- I've been involved in several successful airdrops. However, most in earlier days of crypto. I got 25 CUBE when it launched, which I was able to sell for .005 each some years ago. DeepOnion (which I participate in) is also very lucrative (although it's realistically more of a signature campaign than an airdrop).

I threw a bit of $$ into Ethbet based on 4chan hype recommendations. Noticed the hyped dried out pretty quickly and put up sells on HitBTC as soon as the exchange went up. Luckily I was able to turn a small profit, as holding would have accrued much loss. Really a shame that crypto markets have progressed so much and scammers are still getting away with huge paydays. Ethbet looked like it had some potential, too.

I would personally drop SALT, COSS, and GOLEM, and perhaps SC. WTC price looks really good right now, would be very healthy profit to sell that, too. If you are looking for other coins to pick up I would look into GameCredits, just announced a monumental partnership and price hardly budged. Either that or MGO, if you see more earning potential in MGO, that is.

This is blatantly false and shows there is no real understanding of what GameCredits does. GAME is attempting to make breach mobile gaming and esports wagering, two entities steam is not involved in whatsoever. Either way, Valve is one company, while Unity powers half of all mobile game developers.

GameCredits (and by proxy, MobileGO) look too good to be true right now. Both these coins remained relatively unscathed in recent BTC climb to 6k, and yesterday, perhaps the biggest partnership for any crypto project took place between GameCredits and Unity:

"I'm incredibly proud to announce one of our most important partnerships ever. GameCredits Inc. has partnered with the multi-billion dollar gaming company Unity Technologies to provide the gamecredits store as a built in Unity standard. Some of Unity's most popular games include Temple Run, Pokemon Go, Rust, Hearthstone and Assassin's Creed Identity. They also are responsible for over 50% of all mobile game development (34% of the top 1000 games), about 140,000 games total. The Unity SDK we announced before is just a small piece of the puzzle. Rather than just allowing developers to build apps for our store, publishing to our store will be the same process of uploading a Unity game to google play or the app store. Several Unity developers have been working alongside our developers in our office to make this integration possible. At the same time our teams have agreed to work together to create a unity application that will allow any unity game to have esports capabilities in our companies applications. Essentially adding a simple noninvasive plugin to a unity game will allow gamers to wager and bet on that game using our technologies."

I'm wickedly confident that GameCredits IS going to disrupt the global gaming industry and when that happens it's going to be one of the largest projects in cryptocurrency. Imagine the impact when half of all mobile devs who are Unity have the option to 1) automatically publish their games to the G Store and 2) add MGO wagering to their application. I'm amazed both these coins are still as cheap as they are.

There is going to be a plugin available to game devs that gives them the option of allowing wagering on their games. This plugin (from how it has been explained) will be non-intrusive and easy to implement for the developers.

Also, been trying to sell HTMLCOIN at 3sats for a couple of weeks now. I think I'm FINALLY about to have my sale go through. Putting those suckers into MGO, hopefully it doesn't blast off in the meantime...

Super excited to see what comes of this massive partnership. I, personally, just downloaded Unity and plan on screwing around with it until winter break, and potentially putting something together. I've got a couple years of Computer Science under my belt now, might as well put my teachings to the test .

My concerns with the new "auto accept" function of the airdrop registration is it's going to leave the door open for more abusers. Obviously, this isn't the intended case but if it takes no time or effort to get approved after your application is sent in why wouldn't people take a few hundred $ profit and gtfo?

You would think with whitepaper release we'd see more people on board. Sadly no, growing sell pressure at 2 sats. I was planning to sell at 3 but looks like my order just missed on Bleutrade. Hopefully we'll see price rebound but large amount of people selling @2 is concerning.

Hey guys, I'm new to the DeepOnion community and really enjoying myself thusfar. This place really is special, and I can't wait to see what's to come. Anyways, hoping someone can answer my simple question: Does my wallet need to stay open and connected to the network in order to stake? I'm running from a laptop while in college and can't have it running 24/7, not to mention school wifi is shoddy and frequently drops. Thanks!

Hey everyone, couldn't find an announcement thread for CoinsMarkets so piggy-backing off of this one! I put a bit of EmberCoin in my account earlier today, very cool to give people automatic staking privileges. One question I have that I'm struggling to find an answer to is will my coins continue to stake while they are tied up in a sell order? Can I put my EMB for sale and still get staking rewards? Or will I be unable to stake with them? Thanks!

Advance Wars isn't the simplest of games but it is a Turn Based Strategy, so I don't think it would be entirely difficult to implement it on Chimaera tech. For those unaware- it's a series of games on gameboy advance and Nintendo DS. Dual Strike is probably the best in the series. Would be awesome to play it online for CHI wagers.

It would also be feasible to incorporate this project: http://battlecoin.org/ (bomberman for Bitcoin). Seems like the dev is giving up on it after finishing the project and being unable to see any popularity.

Happy to say I have received my first airdrop payment!

I understand that I need to hold 90% of my coins in my wallet to adhere to airdrop rules. My question then is am I allowed to stake the coins I receive? And can I sell my staking profits or must I hold 90% of that, too?

Have you even checked Liqui? There is a huge ass buy-wall anyone can dump into. Selling is perfectly easy right now... buying is difficult because there just aren't many fucking sell orders. Let's chill with the fud alright buddy?

I think that is a good approach to viewing DeepOnion from a wider scope. Of course- DO community is phenomenally involved, from every angle. I think there is definitely going to be some exciting price movements post-airdrop!

This is very disappointing to hear. Will there be a lower cap to be accepted as a private pre-sale participant because of this? The number quoted previously was 30k Euros. Unfortunately I don't have that much to put into any project, but definitely still plan on contributing a sizeable amount (in my opinion) in the 4 figure range.

Just curious- why do you feel this way? I've traded HTML between 2 and 3 sats for a while now and it's been all good to me.

Also, really looking forward to the whitepaper release. Hoping that we can get some added buy pressure in place and bring some new people into the ecosystem!

I think you're blatantly talking out of your ass. World of Battles is a non-threat to MGO or anyone lmao. As far as Enjin goes... it's not even a competitor to MGO. Do you know what Enjin Coin strives to do? Have you read the white paper? I've been a part of Enjin for close to a decade, I've got a pretty good idea of what it is. Enjin Coin is a cash grab- solving a solution to a problem with their platform that doesn't exist. Enjin Coin is nothing more than a community token for its members (many of whom are children and don't understand crypto!) Either way, the only overlap between us and them is we're both targeting gamers.

As I understand it, I don't exactly see decentraland gaining traction. It seems to essentially serve as a much more exclusive and expensive alternative to Second Life, with, I assume, much less capabilities for the users. Now, I don't know as much about this project as I could, so I may be entirely wrong, but I personally don't see this succeeding int he long run.
