Any new airdrop coins?

[vectisitch]

deeponion, still 37 weeks of airdrops to go. have a look. there are the usual scam accusations but how can you get scammed when there is no financial outlay? i have been in crypto for a few years and i see nothing wrong with this one

click on my sig to find out more

Ofcourse you can get scammed...What if dev owns 50% of the airdrop accounts for example and there are people putting work and effort in without knowing this.
What about all these people just promoting something because they got it for free, where do you think the btc come from when they sell their free stake?
Aren't the buyers getting scammed in that case?

It just the same as with any altcoin, some are "scams" some and some aren't.. and then there are a few that are or could be seriously good.

I'm so sad that I found out about airdrops kind of late. I am missing out on a few airdrops because of being a new member and everything. So now I am trying to level up my new account and hopefully some new airdrops I will be able to participate. Really satisfied with byteball so far. Trying out Stellar Lumens, I think it will be really good. Airdrops are fun.

OmiseGo will drop free OMG token to every address on the Ethereum blockchain that held a balance over a minimum threshold of 0.1 ETH at a recent past block height (TBA soon): https://twitter.com/CryptoAirdrops/status/894624987755290625

I guess this will look like the btc snapshot of wed Apr 26 airdrop being done by bitcore (btx).
Check it out here:
https://bitcore.cc/claim.php
Its a 1 to 1 ratio airdrop

Nothing much apart from the annoucements, any insights?

Well, interesting thread. Although there are a lot of coins recommended are not really airdrop coin, most of them are signature campaigns. But still some interesting airdrop coin.

[JustMissed]

I read some where here in bitcointalk.org that airdrop means that you need to have some btc, for you get equal units of the airdropped coin?

Hope my understanding is right?

Airdrop typically means free, not always though. There are certain airdropped coins that are based on your bitcoin balance like Byteball, Clams, Bitcore, BCH, and others, but please read up on them before doing anything with your bitcoin. There are allot of threads on how to safely claim
free coins from your Bitcoin balance.

Was just reading about this airdrop https://www.lysergion.com/ All of these are so confusing, takes 30 mins just to read all the rules and how it works, you get a certain weight of the airdrop. Why can't they just make airdrops easy? I get it they are trying to promote the coin, but why do you have to link your facebook and twitter and post a 1000 times just to get maybe 100 free coins that might be worth nothing in the future, same with that onion coin airdrop, so confusing, not worth it.

Help me out with this one, please - the direct signup has been temporarily stopped and the BTC/XRP distribution is history, no? What is there you are doing right now?

[pontoumporcento]

Doesn't most airdrop coins end up worthless? What's the point?

Byteball changed the rules of the game:

                        for byteball "After August 7 we'll reach more than 50% distributed coins and will start a new phase of our distribution.
It was stated from day one that the purpose of this distribution is to get this coin into the hands of as many people as possible.  Both coins (bytes and blackbytes) are meant to be used as currencies, and this is only possible when there are many users and apps to interact with.  We already have a sizable community, a number of unique apps, and we are the only crypto project to have an app distribution platform (the Bot Store), but there is still a lot of room to grow in terms of user count, number of apps, and willingness of users to use these apps.
Up until now, we were distributing only to holders of BTC and Bytes, i.e. we were rewarding holding.  Now we are adding actual users into the mix, i.e. we are going to reward transactions.
To get you an idea of how we are going to do it, we are going to partner with several categories of companies:
- merchants
- payment processors
- "Bitcoin debit card" companies
and offer 10% cashback, paid in Bytes, for all qualifying purchases (no matter how the purchases are paid).  The cashback will be funded from the undistributed pool.  For example, a customer who bought for $100 receives $10 cashback in Bytes, paid to his Byteball address, at the current exchange rate.  For merchants, this is something that would drive sales and they would put effort into promoting the offer.  In competitive industries, a 10% cashback is a very powerful tool to lure customers.  For customers, this is a 10% discount (which matters a lot in some industries).  For Byteball, it is new users who will have to get involved into the system in order to receive the cashback.
A few companies have already expressed interest (not disclosing the names while it is a work in progress).
A few extensions of this offer:
- 20% cashback if the purchase is paid in bytes or blackbytes.  This would incentivize merchants to start accepting bytes and blackbytes, and the infrastructure will stay after the distribution ends.
- merchants can offer additional cashback to their customers.  Merchants fund it themselves by buying bytes from the market, and for every 1% funded by the merchant we add 1% more from the undistributed pool.
If you see similarity with existing loyalty points schemes, it is similar indeed.
At a minimum, we receive many new users who learn about Byteball from their merchants, plus working payment integrations.  And the users are not just crypto fans, it may be their first crypto coin for many users.  With the most user friendly wallet in the industry, we are in the best position to expand beyond the crypto village.
We can continue adding 10-20% to existing byte balances to incentivize keeping the received bytes before more infrastructure is built, rather than cashing out immediately. 
Two negative sides:
- the scheme is less transparent than plain adding on top of existing balances, and some share of fraud is inevitable.  Merchants might try to deceive us to receive coins for themselves by reporting nonexistent sales or selling to themselves.  This is mitigated by good choice of trustworthy merchants and our ability to disconnect any merchant at any time on suspicion of fraud.  Their customers can also try to find ways to abuse the system, again we'll require the merchants to prevent that by excluding some types of purchases, monitoring customers, enforcing caps, etc.  Additionally, if the merchant funds part of the cashback himself, he has skin in the game to counter the customer fraud.
- these new users are not holders for the most part, they are more likely to sell.  Not a big problem, the point is they already know about Byteball and it's easy for them to get back.  The new users are new to crypto, many of them won't use exchanges, and somebody will have to create new easier-to-use channels to fiat, which is positive for liquidity.  Also, 10%-20% monthly distributions discourage fast selling while the distribution is ongoing.  And lastly, the merchants who fund 50% of the cashback would partially balance the markets by buying coins.
On balance, I'm sure that these negatives are tolerable when we are going to achieve a vast expansion of our user base and acceptance at merchants.
For the current distribution round, nothing changes.
For the next distribution on September 6, we are changing the ratios in favor of Byte holders and slowing down the distribution to have more time to build out the cashback program:
BTC to Bytes: every 160 BTC gives you 1 GB from the distribution (or 0.00625 GB per BTC).
Bytes to Bytes: every 10 GB of existing balance gives you additional 1 GB from the distribution (in other words, +10% to existing balances).
Similar ratios for blackbytes.
For those who receive their first bytes from cashbacks, Sep 6 will be the first distribution when they receive +10%.
I'll make announcements as we add merchants in the cashback program."

Why so complicated.  Why did byteball make byteball whales out of bitcoin whales?  What purpose did that serve.  Someone with 150 btc doesn't need a mass of byteballs.  Why not give every member of bitcointalk 100 or 1000 byteballs regardless of their btc balance or rank.  Then you will get equal distribution without a mass of confusion.

The airdrop is a bounty program, you do stuff, they give coins to you, not an airdrop.

At least this time the mistake is yours, and not the devs trying to disguise a signature campaign as aidrop

Oh, sorry... it's my mistake! I not understand what is "airdrop", I was think it is bounty...

I think it doesn't work for newbies, does it?

Because people with some wealth likely know how to manage it and are more valuable in terms of participation in a project.  They're more likely to interact and engage in it on many levels.  If you just hand out tons to a bunch of poor noobs all they're likely to do is sell it for pennies and move on.

Nice DAO airdrop is ongoing.
High participation is very required.
Seems to get very big:

I joined this airdrop and what I like best about it is that they will reward us more tokens if we are active and we actually do tasks and promotions in order to make this project a success. Joint participation makes also for a better community project as well. Thank you for letting us know as I found it here.
