How to know fake Airdrop project

[sukoyomi]

I think if for airdrops, I do not really believe in airdrops, because so many beginners make those airdrops threads, which makes me doubt on airdrops. but if you just want to get a free coin, you just need to join and most importantly do not you send your private key address to anyone.

I think the OP intend to talk about the so called airdrop that tries to sneak your private keys or emails.
What everyone should realize is there's no need to share your private key ever except for loading your wallet.
And use a different email address for airdrops than your personal address.

Real altcoin doing airdrop, they will have some basic like: the name of altcoin is not copied from any other coins, clear roadmap with date, active channel chat...

Hello guys am a newbie how can i know if an airdrop is real or fake

If someone says the usual stuff about their project, like it being the future of cryptocurrencies or whatever with absolutely no basis then they are definitely a scam. I mean you can't really lose money participating in airdrops but you'll definitely lose money if you get convinced to invest.

Never, ever invest any money in airdrops.

And it's probably never a good idea to participate in one, unless it legitimately has good ideas behind it.

Hello guys am a newbie how can i know if an airdrop is real or fake

you will never know if its fake or real until you try it just always invest what you can afford to lose because in crypto there always a lot ofrisk
some airdrop give the coin for free but what happen next is the dev is just waiting to hit it in exchange and sell some coin and not develop it
sooner or later the coin will not worth anything

I really don'tknow how to determined wheather the airdrops is fake also. What am I doing is just filled up all the forms and wait to received tokens.

Nothing will lose whether an airdrop is fake or real. Just try to fill up all the forms you can. But be very aware on some application form because scams have scattered. Your question should be, “How to know if an airdrop is a scam?”. Now, to know if they are a scam or a hacker, if the link they provided lead you to your wallet or they ask you your private keys, I’m very much sure that those are scams.

If those project is asking about your private key of your wallet, surely that is scam, also you can distinguish if there are fake. So dont trust in some airdrop if you have doubt about there project.

90% of airdrop are fake so why bother ?  Participate to ICO it's better and more rewarding

[mahimonliner]

You wont be able to mark an airdrop fake or real. By the way why you are worried about fake or real airdrop is free and it doesn't cost you anything to try it out.

The ones that ask for private keys, I'm surprised these threads don't get deleted fast enough.
Other ones that ask for mandatory donations, It's not an airdrop if they ask you to send money so stay away from these
Lastly look at team behind the airdrop and just join them I mean in the end of the day they are free so even if it is fake as long as
1 of the airdrops you joined takes off then that's pretty cool!

No better way of knowing at all. I won't bother myself knowing whether an airdrop is legit or not because airdrops are mostly open to limited number of applicants only thus you don't have the luxury of time to further investigate if you want to be on the list. The task anyway is just for you to fill in a form. As to whether it will give you or not, there's no fuzz about it coz the pay is usually not that much oftentimes. Bu you have be cautious when airdrops ask for eths and the most your private key as you may definitely lose on them instead of gaining. You know, scammers are good at deceptions. So i suggest, just fill in airdrop forms as many as you can in a day.

Well, Once you receive the airdrop, you can then wait for the coin to be listed in good exchanges so that you can convert them to bitcoins in good rates.

I think real airdrop has a manager who give many more information about an airdrop. He also give progress information when the project pre sale until the end. Many follower will get coins for reward

Real airdrop has its site and has a good design on its wallpaper unlike fake has no proper site. Sometimes the project manager on fake airdrop are NEWBIES so that they can easily escape from interrogations, real airdrop handled by higher rank  manager.

An Ethereum analyst on youtube said that fake tokens will first be involve in airdrops to advertise the token, that is why we should always check the unique technology that they are promoting then we must also check the roadmap and whitepaper and even the website, then if you see some red flags then doubt that they are a genuine coin.

Honestly speaking, I don't trust Airdrops because I knew some airdrops asking for a private key and eth address before you become a participants to their program. You may able to get a free token from them but in the end some of it you don't know they already have an access to hack your account in your MEW due to the information you gave.

Hello guys am a newbie how can i know if an airdrop is real or fake

I haven't saw a fake airdrop, yet. But there are a lot of airdrops/ICOs that might turn bogus if not well-planned. How can we determine them?

First of all, it should be obvious that a project is fake if it has no whitepaper. Whitepaper is definitely the most important part of a project. This will give the people the idea about the project, including the details about the coin/token.

Second, a project should have a well-designed and organized website. Although the looks and designs of a website doesn't guarantee that the project is real (especially that there are a lot of people nowadays that can do web designing easily), it is still safer to join a project with a great website as it will serve as the mirror of the project.

Another thing to look at when joining an ICO is the list of team members. Most project/ICO developers uses the word PRIVACY to hide their identity. Although this is reasonable, there are still some devs who put their team members' faces and backgrounds in their websites. These ICOs/projects are more trustworthy than those who do not show the list of team members.

When you have to pay them. LOL or when you didn't received the airdrop despite of doing what was instructed. Or asking for private keys, being sneaky you know. Good luck.

So if some one who handle the airdrop was a newbie it means we don't need to trust them?
