Getting Altcoins - Airdrops etc.

[jnow]

I've seen there's a suggestion in another thread that Ziber may be a scam (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2048619). I don't know either way, so for safety I have removed its URL from the table above.

This is turning into an interesting thread from the statistical point of view, as people post more comments.

Thanks.

The airdrop from CoinStarter has dropped to 15 coins, and it drops again tomorrow. Table updated.

Has anyone ever made any significant amount from free coin giveaways or airdrops?
For me it just seems like a waste of time, but I'd love to hear from some other people who have some succes stories...

Depends how you define significant.  Best i've done was getting .75 gbytes just before the round 3 airdrop in a giveaway I lucked into.  With subsequent rounds of appreciation it's over 2 gbytes now, so >$1000.  There were some NEM drops that netted people tens of thousands, maybe more.  So it's possiblebut also not terribly likely.

As the receiver you need to be a strong holder too, cashing in quick might be nice but sure won't make you rich.

That's very nice info. I also heard byteball had some promo forum campaign, what was the rewards, maybe someone can share some info.
And 0.75 gbytes is really nice. I wish I were there that time

Thanks. Meanwhile the CoinStarto promo has dropped to 2 coins, table updated.

apparently NEM and ripple giveaways are worth a lot now.  although both made it effectively impossible to get your coins from them after a certain date.

I think all people got xem and xrp in giveaway times already sold them for cheap money. Airdrop hunters can't wait long time to keep their coins.

So true. Most airdrop hunters accumulate and accumulate and then dump when the coin hits the market. its always a risk as some turn to vapour real quick. I do however regret no jumping on the XEM distribution. As for me I always hold, and hope, and hold some more.

I concur, that is most of my observation but among the airdrop I know, XEM really standout. Look at NEM right now, its a very good coin and its on the top 10 in coinmarketcap. Its already successful and so much project on the lineup.

I agree with you XEM very potential, but it has increasing very more if compare the price in first time, and about the ratio growth, XEM high than very more Ethereum! So, correction the price in current is important for the future of XEM

this.  i dont think people realize how often this happens.  people are obsessed with quick profits.. but you gotta plant a seed and let that sucker grow!

[Thirdspace]

You forget to mention CLAM!
you are entitled for 4.6 CLAMS for each btc/ltc/doge address you owned
that had balance over dust on May 12, 2014
with today's clam > btc > usd rate, it worth around $10 / address (correct me if I'm wrong)

[sinner]

$3.17 * 4.6 CLAMs = $14.58  

go diggin!

[Coindgr]

Stiil need to claim this one... (CLAM)
                                                                                            
I've been a bit lazy, need to transfer my DOGES to other wallet address to claim this (just to be on the safety side)

Very good choice to get free coin. Can I still follow all that you ikoti now?

[addias]

Thanks for making this thread. I think it is a start to a good idea. I wish we could get it pinned, so we could add more airdrops as time passes by. Plus, devs could list there coins on this thread too. You don’t know how many times that I have missed out on an air drop because I was late.

The people just want to get the quick bucks by dumping the free coin. like what will be happening after the bitcoin fork. But Can i consider the bcc as another airdrop or free money for those are linked the bitcoin amount to the bcc?

The Airdrop slide is muddy. . .
Please do your best. . .

I am going to check this out. These are free tokens after all. Effortless way to get some share of a newly introduced token. Who knows, it might grow big in the future? But of all airdrops made, there were only few tokens that really got a trusted reputation in the market. There are also other free airdrops that are not actually free like Deeponion. You are required to wear a signature and avatar and make posts.

[Ultra777]

I think ESPERS is the biggest profit airdrop withing 1 year if you actually hold the coins for that long. I hope Onion will repeat the success

[deepcryptomine]

Newbie here. I got my first free tokens because of this post so thank you.

the best free lunch i got is from stratis ,
doing some tweet and retweet @TVE back on 2016 and got 2132 strat (only worth $30 on september 2016) and never withdrawl it
lucky for that i have long hiatus from november 2016 to june 2017 from cryptoworld and almost forget that i have @TVE account,
sold it for $12000+ on early july

I remember the NEM airdrop... I think I got 6000 coins at the time which would be worth today 0.4 BTC. Unfortunatly I sold them way too early.
The easiest way to participate in future airdrops is to just hold some BTC in cold storage and claim future forks similar to the bitcoin cash scenario. Another passive way to participate in airdrops is by holding WAVES and WCT tokens. If ,for example, you held 5000 WAVES for 8 months, you would have made by now close to 0.35 BTC worth from the following airdrops: WCT, MER, RBX, WGO, MRT. These airdrops are ongoing so you guarantee future earnings.

The Byteball airdrop on Monday went smoothly. I got 0.56Gb, so about $200. The next one is 6 September.

Meanwhile the Coinstarter bonus has gone back up from 2 to 15.

Table updated.
