Is this still open or has it been filled now?

I understand what a lot of you are saying in that the typical 'airdrop' requires less than a bounty but, to be honest, the "follow my twitter, post a tweet, join my facebook, post a facebook status, join my telegram channel and group" model is not at all something which shoul dbe entertained as an airdrop. It is a bounty.

A bounty is defined as an action which will create trade/demand for an item/service. By joining all the social networks and making social posts you are assisting with marketing and helping to create demand for the ICO. People who do all this work to receive like $5 dollars of crypto are literally being used as promoters an a really low salary.

i have been in the airdrop scene for a while and it started with "fill a form and get a drop" then it progressed to "fill a form and join telegram for verification" now it is a straight up bounty.

Pretty much what the title says. Has the meaning of airdrop changed or something? I notice that every crypto currency and website etc is claiming they have an airdrop which, in reality, are bounty programs.

A scheme where you have to follow a load of social accounts and make posts for a couple coins is not an airdrop.

I think a couple people in here have given viable explanations to the difference between altcoins and tokens but, if I am honest, I think it is another term which the crypto community is just throwing around willy nilly.

Airdrops is another one. . .

If you can see more chance of a profit through the alternate coin then, yes, it is a good idea. If the coin is as much of a gamble as the other then maybe not so good

I wouldn't be so sure, there are many projects which have absolutely huge communities which are struggling to achieve this due to restrictions from governments and banks

Hey bud, thanks for posting a link to the article! I'm gonna write a proper article about you all to follow it up

I like that youre actually putting some form of verification into this and look forward to it!

It's not an airdrop if you have to jump through hoops to get anything. What you have proposed is a contest mate

The licensing industry is a massive industry and if you can get a hold in it with the blockchain it will be massive. The problem is definitely with rights management, look at all the recent lawsuits regarding the music industry and legal ownership of songs etc. Interesting project.

People in crypto need to really stop calling everything a scam, it doesn't do the industry as a whole any good.

I'm sure you all have noticed the ridiculous gas price recently! Well it has finally dropped back down to 8 Gwei (yay).

Does anyone know what caused it to rise, and then drop again?

I would not participate in any airdrops which require you to either send ether or participate with their contract through your personal wallet and send gas. They will most likely turn to be scams. If they distribute 100% free then cool, other wise get tae

YEs you can buy altcoins with Ether and, personally, I prefer to. The fees and wait times with Bitcoin are considerably higher!

I'm glad this has been noted and acted upon, so many of these are requiring posts and it is just making otherwise dead threads look popular even though they're just full of newbie accounts.

I'm really not a fan of all these coins asking people to post in their threads. It's just making loads of threads with fuck loads of comments which don't really say anything. madness.

I see everyone is very much behind bitcoin but it seems the main reasoning is literally that it was first. In all honesty I understand that it is going nuts with price but I do not see it ever replacing FIAT currency. Another crypto will. At the moment BTC takes for ever to actually confirm and the fees are considerably high in comparison to other cryptos. I wanted to buy a TenX card for $15 and ended up having to buy $23 worth of BTC to cover the cost of TX fee, and it took over an hour to confirm. In the world of business that is not going to fly at all. The point of crypto is to make things easier but, unless you have it in a wallet already, BTC seems to just add hurdles to making your transaction

I think that the future of Neo will heavily depend on the regulations set out by china in the near future. If they end up deciding, as many speculate they will, that Neo is their preferred platform for ICOs then I guess I'd expect Neo to match or possibly surpass Ethereum just down to the sheer size of the Chinese population. No company is going to want to shoot themselves in the foot and exclude a nation of over 1.3 billion from being able to invest in them. As well as the Chinese population you also have countries like Japan who would probably prefer an East Asian based company to handle their ICOs.

It's all goin to be very interesting when, and if, the PBOC release their stance on the situation.
