explain what Airdrop is

[nodav]

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.

And it is interesting and stimulates interest in the project

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

So there is no unreciprocated airdrop? How is it different from bounties then? I thought airdrop was distributed gratuitously.

Its a way of making free tokens or profit by collecting these airdrops from Bounty Programs set out by the different ICOs coming out, its part of the crowdsale usually.

Airdrop is to expand the publicity by issuing free encryption token. It functions as long as the item is given free of charge according to certain rules. Effect: more people can be involved in the airdrop. It can improve the publicity effect of the project very well.

Airdrop is when a certain project distributes free tokens or coins to the crypo community.

When the developer of the airdrop coin decided to give the coin to holders of certain coin, it is an airdrop.

It is free, so don’t fall for scams to pay in order to claim for the airdropped coins.

An airdrop is when you receive free coins or tokens. Airdrops are done in several ways:

* Hodler Airdrops: This is when you receive free free coins if you hold a specific coin. For example BTC. Byteball was an airdrop of this type.
* Airdrops/Bounties for tasks you accomplish. Many airdrops force people to join Telegram groups oder follow via Twitter.

An airdrop is a marketing way to draw attention to your coin or token. Because who doesn't like it to get something for free? It is very effective to spread awareness of what you are doing.

It`s like promotion in markets. When someone dressed in brand suite giveaway people little piece of product. They test it and if they enjoyed they can buy it.

Airdrop is a free distribution of coins and one way to attract the attention of people who may be interested in their product. For me, it's just a capital increase.

[MAUTMALAIKAT]

in my opinion, Airdrop is a free distribution of coins from developers who want to promote their goods or coins quickly without much advertising here and there. the function of airdrop is to train us newbie to participate on bounty campaign. So that we are more fluent in working bounty.

Airdrop is very easy way to earn token in less time by doing publicity about the project. If you are lucky enough you can earn money from it in a very easy way, many people even doesn't know about it. Airdrop may be profitable but as well there are many lie airdrop so before you go for it, you must verify the details.

Hello! Can you explain me what airdrop mechanisms are, their functionning/implications please?

If you want to participate in airdrops then my advice to you is do not do this. It is better to do some more useful work. For example, study mining using pools or farms. Mining is the shortest way to get profit.

[cryptopuma]

Airdrops are morelikely you will receive some tokens from the coin developers to promote the existence of their projects,but most of free airdrops are worthless but few legit airdrops from the existing coins will have more chance to have value if listed in the market,commonly airdrops will require you to signup using your email and bitcointalk account,and if the airdrops requires your private keys or you need to send btc first its morelikely a scam so dont get baited by these free airdrops.

Hello! Can you explain me what airdrop mechanisms are, their functionning/implications please?

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
