I'm currently participation in the deeponion[onion] airdrop. Have just recently started looking for airdrops, so this is the first one I have attempted. Good luck.
In my opinion, that's not airdrop. You will be paid just if you wear their signature. Airdrop is distribution of coins for free. But you are wearing their signature and now you cannot join any signature campaign in this forum.
you're right--we need to define these terms more clearly.. some ideas:
giveaway - a donation to anybody (they may not even ask for it)
airdrop - a giveaway of one asset to owners of a separate asset (perhaps
sharedrop should refer to airdrops done in proportion to the amount of the separate asset which is owned)
sigdrop - signature campaign giveaway
under these definitions:
CLAMs is an airdrop, but not a sharedrop.
Byteball is an airdrop, but more specifically a sharedrop.
DeepOnion is a sigdrop.
Would BitSend qualify as an airdrop since it requires you to own a bitcointalk account of a certain status?
Kekcoin is a
memedrop Many coins are trying to skirt the "no giveaways" rule on bitcointalk by calling themselves airdrops when they are just giveaways. Because of this rule I expect many people to use the BitcoinGarden forum for giveaways.
There are not many true airdrops: Byteball (and Blackbytes), Stellar, CLAMs, Bitcore, OmiseGo, JUMBLR, and a bunch on the Waves platform. Does BCH count as an airdrop?
