With free ICO I meant projects which distirbute their whole coin supply for free (Like MTC). But yea you are right, these things are  basically a airdrop...

Hi everybody,
Lately I am reading a lot of posts asking: is this airdrop a scam? Is that free ICO a scam?
So I am wondering how can something that doesn't cost you a penny be a scam. Sure, they get your email adress and maybe a ETH Adress, but how can you  really be scamed with only this informations? I am not talking about airdrops that require kyc registration, that for sure can be dangerous.
Cheers,

So this was extremely strange.
I was on the official ELIXIR Chat and suddenly the Telegram support posted the announcement of the TON ICO Phase 1. Then a Admin kicked Support out of the Group and seconds after the whole Group was gone.
I checked in the other Cryptocurrency groups but there was no such announcement...
Has anyone else seen that? Was that a legit announcement of the TON ICO?

I use it since about 24 hours and I earned 0.04 ETN. Sooo it is like I expectet pretty useles and more like a little fun gimmick
And regards the stress on your phone:

Dude I get ya! I think the times of constructive discussions on this forum are over...

The info in the app says: "Your mobile phone doesn't actually mine like a desktop miner would, instead we benchmark your device and allocate it with a hashrate that it would be able to acheive if it were actually mining. You will then be allocated the amount of ETN you would receive if you actually mined a block."

The question why it is not actually mining is answered: "Mobile phones are not built to withstand or cope with the complex calculations required to perform actual crypto mining, your phone would overheat very quickly and potentially damage hardware. So instead we give you a mining experience which has all the rewards of actual mining with none of the complexities of having to setup mining software, a mining rig, ventilation etc."

Sounds nice but i don't get why they would do that. They don't use your phones calculating power for anything, they are really just simulating it.

I downloaded the app about an hour ago and started "mining". So far i got 0 ETN... I have a Moto G4+ which "runs" at 12 H/s. So far it doesn't get hot or stresses the battery. I will let it run overnight and see how much it makes, but I don't think that it is more than a fun gimmick.

Sounds good, but is it possible that there is something wrong with your telegram group? When i try to join it it gives me a error and says that this group doesn't exist...

Marinecoin doesn't have a Airdrop but a free ICO right now which is pretty much the same i guess. All you have to do is help a little with the promotion and you get a ton of free coins. Also this might become a giant in the near future since it has really promising tec, extremely fast transactions and great scalability. You shold definetely check it out: https://marineco.in/ico

You have an awesome opportunity with Marinecoin right now. It has the tec to become a big one and right now they are giving away a lot of free coins in their ICO. Check out here: https://marineco.in/ico

One of the coins nobody knows about yet is Marinecoin. Right now you can get a lot of free coins in the free ICO. Check here: https://marineco.in/ico
I think this one can definetely go to the moon in the near future.

When it comes to scalability and speed Marinecoin could be very strong in the near future. They are at the beginning with their ICO. Check here: https://marineco.in/ico
Also the ICO is free, you only have to help with promotion.
Definetely a coin to watch and hodl in 2018.

Marinecoin looks also very promising. Their ICO is online now and the best thing is you don't even have to pay something. It is completely free. All you have to do is help them with promoting.
Beside that the tec behind it also looks great. I am really confident about this one to go big. Check here: https://marineco.in/ico

Maybe it is because the information spreads slowly because there is no official statement from IOTA.

Wow that's bad!
I'm glad I kept it at the exchange. I just sold it and I am curous how that will effect the price.

I do regulary. In the morning when I am half awake/half asleep I dream (very realistic) that I check coinmarketcap (as every morning befor getting up) and my whole portfolio went up a few thousand %. Always a bit discouraging when I see the real numbers afterwards...

I will buy some CAPP and Oyster Pearl. Sadly I don't have much cash left to invest since I bought some alts last week
But I think these two will rise massive within the next 1-2 Month. NVIDIA announced a Partnership with CAPP and Oyster will launch its test net end of January.

No Oyster to hold here yet, but I sure will buy some soon. I will just wait a few more days i think, right now it looks like it will drop even lower...

Does anyone has a idea WHY the price dropped so hard today? I mean they just got their new website online and doesn't that normally lead to a rise?

I think the price is going to rise relatively fast to 20000 to 30000 within the next weeks (or month). After that a lot of long time hodler will sell their BTC due to the fact that BTC became obsolete (time and transaction fees). It is possible that after a certain price level between 20k and 30k is reached a massive correction will come.
Then ether the price keeps low for a very long time (or forever) or enough investors use the low price to invest and the price will go up again.
So my prediction --> BTC <30k at the end of 2018 but it is going to be exciting

Thank you for your answers! They helped a lot. Now i get it.
