When a developer airdrops coins/tokens it means that they give them away for free. You have to qualify to participate in the airdrop, and the rules for qualification and amounts of airdrops varies from project to project.

Here is an earlier thread you can learn more from: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1876879.0

Hope this helps.

Helps users get involved with the project by incentivizing them to learn more about it and in return they get free coins. People sign up for an address and then get sent coins, and the hope is that the coin explodes and the free coins are now worth a decent amount of money.

To tell you the truth of my own experiece. I have earn my first token with dollar value in the first airdrop that I had signed up. Then after that all airdrop that I have joined were shitcoins. Eventually I have stop signing in airdrop. I have a bad experience with airdrop unlike my friends who were very lucky in airdrop.

Functioning is that you appoint yourself into a list that will be given X amount of tokens. Implications are marketing, means you will own their tokens plus you will advertise them via different social media sites, forums and overall ways to earn more of their tokens... Basically is just paid advertisement

[Queen12]

An airdrop is a team that develops tokens and assigns a certain amount of tokens to all the people in the community, so that everyone has a certain token, but now many of airdrop are lie.

[ozgur35]

It simply means that if you are holding BTC in a wallet that allows you to sign messages (local or online one) , you could get free coins. For instance, Bitcore made a Snapshot of the Bitcoin Network and identified every user with a balance bigger than 0.01 BTC, all wallets containing BTC at that point can claim free BTX coins by signing a message from their wallet. Hope it helps.

Airdrop is one way to make free tokens by collecting them in bounty campaigns from ICO announcement threads. They can be profitable sometimes, and minimal work needs to be done!

[sniveel]

Airdrop is a way of getting tokens ofcourse you need to participate and fill up all required in forms to earn some different it is also good cause airdrop attracts people. I think this their way to promote their token. Airdrop also profitable and good

for me airdrop is a part of a project's marketing strategy where they give away free token in exchange of people spreading the project for them especially sharing the company's project to their respective social media accounts as it will give an company an exposure and attract potential investors.

We all know that airdrop is a free coin and easy to earn. But you need to choose good airdrop because most of free coin are not valuable,

Airdrop will gives us tokens by just giving them our informations like our bitcointalk name, wallet address and sometimes email.
In selected airdrops you have first retweet their post or post on their thread

Airdrop - this is when a company through the free distribution of its tokens advertises its project to the masses. Usually this happens at the very start of the project. After Airdrop, a bounty company usually begins, directed directly at advertising the project itself and raising funds.

[glerant]

An airdrop is a distribution mechanism for a project to transfer crypto tokens or coins to wallet addresses.

Usually, the developers allocate a pool of coins to the airdrop. They then implement the airdrop using parameters they have decided upon. These may or may not be published. Parameters can be anything the developers choose. For example, an individual may get a share of coins proportional to the amount they already hold. For many airdrops developers need to collect information from recipients - say, proof of nationality (in the case of Country Coin airdrops) or addresses of wallets not on the same chain as the air drop coin. The developers can then run a script against a block explorer for that alien address and reward recipients with a share of their own coin proportional to the amount held on the other chain. Platforms like Waves and Ardor make airdrops easier across different tokens. Most airdrops are organised at the start of a project, either in one drop, or are staged in regular drops. Any project with control of their crypto assets can drop them whenever and however they choose.

Projects like Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold were not airdrops - the chain was forked and recipients held 1:1 with Bitcoin itself. The developers did not have any discretion as to who got what. You can be sure that developers behind these sort of projects are already whales in the original blockchain and the 1:1 reward is motivation for them.

Why would they, it's all about buying shitcoin and waiting for 1000x return.

The ideologies of airdrop is a win win situation between developers and participants. All airdrop are free giveaway to participant but most comes with instructions to do something like tweeting about the project which is similar to advertising for the project. So in all everyone benefit.

[onesalt]

Airdrop is something that can provide you earn money if you are lucky, bounty is something that is most probably provide you to earn some money.
