Fuck Trump Coin (FTC) 30,000 AirDrop As new cryptos deploy every day, so do new coin and token AirDrops. For those of you that do not know what an AirDrop is, it is a small window of time for an embryonic crypto organization to rally together a community around their new idea. During this time it is customary to offer free assets to those that join, as a reward for supporting the initiative.
The Fuck Trump Coin (FTC) project is in its infancy — and if you would like to learn more, please visit here — as well and to rally a passionate community, we participated in an AirDrop of our own.
FTC AirDrop We launched our AirDrop on Monday April 16th at 7:00am Eastern Standard Time (EST) and expected to run the AirDrop for 30 days until May 16th. This would have given us enough time to attract the community that we were hoping for and inspire people with the vision and mission of our project.
Within our first day, we reached 5,000 community members and by the end of the week we amassed over 30,000 Telegram community members and had to end the AirDrop after only 8 days.
Needless to say, the Fuck Trump Coin (FTC) team was very pleased. We had optimistically anticipated 5,000 community members over the course of the entire month of the AirDrop, so reaching our goal in one day was a great success.
FTC AirDrop Success I understand that some AirDrops amass well over 30,000 members as you see some garner audiences of 40k, 50k and beyond. AirDrops with numbers like that usually require organizations to make investments in marketing and advertising, however, instead of buying up ad space, what the Fuck Trump Coin (FTC) did was create and deploy a Telegram bot with Python integration.
Here’s how it worked:
After launching Telegram, community members would have to search @trumpisarobot in the Telegram chat bar to find our “FTC Referral Referee”. This bot was in place to capture information from participants. The bot captured their email address, their name, their wallet address and most importantly, the bot created a unique URL for each participant.
This URL was the most important piece in the success of the Fuck Trump Coin (FTC) AirDrop. What made this URL so essential was that this URL was for community members to share among their personal networks. As their friends and colleagues followed the link, the Telegram bot would keep a tally of how many people joined based on the referral. As participants gathered referrals, we chose to reward them. Our AirDrop structure worked as follows:
100 Fuck Trump Coins (FTC) for joining 50 Fuck Trump Coins (FTC) for each person referred You can see how this process would incentivize people to share with the associates. It was the cross section of our Telegram bot and clear message that helped us reach such success in our AirDrop.
Though we had our successes, no project is complete without its pitfalls…
Fuck Trump Coin AirDrop Scammers After just 8 days we amassed 33,000 AirDrop participants without spending a single penny on marketing or advertising.
When there is the opportunity for people to be gifted assets for free, there is equal opportunity for those people to try and find ways to take advantage of the situation.
And take advantage they did.
After the AirDrop was complete and we looked through our database, we found THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of users creating multiple email addresses and multiple wallet addresses to use as false referrals within our system.
This behavior is unacceptable.
As database sifting continued, we began removing not only the fake referrals, but the creators of the fake referrals too. This process was labor intensive and took many hours from our dedicated team. We took the time to complete this process before distributing Fuck Trump Coins, because if we had not, some users would have had a tremendous and unfair advantage in terms of coins when we open up the asset on exchanges for trading. We are fostering a fair and level playing field for AirDrop and ICO participants alike.
After the dust settled and the smoke cleared, we were left with over 10,000 legitimate AirDrop accounts. 10,000 individuals that either believe in the mission of Fuck Trump Coin, or believe in its moon landing. Either way, we are very happy with the outcome and execution of the AirDrop and look forward to announcing our ICO and future exchange listings.
Thanks!
