what is airdrop?

[randythered]

what is airdrop and how do i get them?

Its like a giveaway when sometimes a new coin is made they want to give it so they introduce it for the people. You just need to make a wallet and fill in the form to recieve the coins.

You can search on the internet and on this forum for airdrops, but sometimes airdrops are scam so beware.

The one thing I've always failed to understand (perhaps you or someone else can enlighten me) is how a true airdrop can scam you? If it's a true airdrop you receive something for nothing so I do not see what the risk is.

Well, IMO the scam is you provide your personal detail such as email. But of course, you can create an email solely for airdrop only and don’t click on any spam mails that come into your mailbox.

Another case is when people start to buy the airdropped coins in exchange, there is risk of dump.

You will need a ethereum wallet which is similar to bitcoin wallet and then join the various groups which are on telegram.There are also other methods apart from joining telegram group.
most of them will tell you to complete tasks,and on successfully completing them you will recieve your tokens.

A true airdrop is simply a case of filling out some details and giving a wallet address and then you will receive coins, many nowadays aren't true airdrops and ask for some sort of task before payment, such as posting on the forum or sharing something on twitter. Be careful to avoid any that ask you to make a donation in exchange for the coins, these are all scams in my opinion.

Airdop is the free tokens by specific developers. It’s free to join by maintaining some rules. But every condition of airdrops are not same. It’s a way to attract community. It’s something similar to Bounty.

If you give them your ETH address for an example they will see how much coins you have. They will surely try to break in your wallet after seeing that you have a lot of coins in it.
So thats why I make a lot of ETH wallets in order to prevent that because i think that humans are not dumb they will surely see.

Airdrop is a free distribution of coins or tokens based on ERC20 Ethereum Smart Contract. Every days  developers open a new airdrop ( a new token) and post on tokens announcement this.Many airdrops use telegram to make a community.
EtherDelta is a exchange used to sell your tokens received by airdrops.

China's state prohibits clear bitcoin.

Like many have said it all depends on the coin. Some are just given freely. While other require you to post and stay active. Some give a lot away and some give away little, but any of those could turn out great. I still like air drops way more than ICO's.

so what you have wanted to say that if you are giving your eth address you need to have create a new wallet for it to be given by them maybe this is a great idea. i must do it so if i may now have some coins i can now prevent some break of my coins.

So how does this work? Let's say for bitcoin, they check how many btc are in an address, how do they airdrop the new currency? Obviously they cannot send it to that bitcoin address, because it is not bitcoin.

Sometimes airdrop is a free giveaway of coins, based on how many bitcoins in your offline wallets (you have your own private key), by referring on certain block.
Such as bitcore, bitcoin cash...

For example, if you have 1 bitcoin, when bitcoin network is at blockheight 463604, you can claim free bitcore coin (btx).

Bitcore, not bitcoin core.

How can they send coins based on bitcoin addresses? Do they send coins to that same address, but in bitcore, and then one will need to use the same process as eg, when the bitcoin cash split occurred (send btc to a new wallet, use the previous private key to claim bitcoin cash)?

Sorry if my explanation make anyone confuse about bitcore airdrop. Please check website bitcore.cc for more explanation about bitcore.

An airdrop means they are giving away coins or tokens. There are lots of airdrops in the bounty section. They usually ask for your ETH address and then they will send it there.
