Roadmap for an airdrop start in crypto (step by step)

[Jarijah]

What is the roadmap to start your crypto journey by hoarding airdrops?
I have heard and read from others, who just hoard whatever they can get, but there is not an actual step by step guide how to do it.
What to do after the hoarding?

- What are the sources you monitor for the airdrops? (facebook groups / telegram / other sources)
- Do you just hold? Or you wait for the value of your assets to reach your target and cash out?
- How do you track?
- any other steps to add?

very curious what experienced/pro airdrop crypto traders actually do ... thanks

Airdrops happen when via a hard fork attempt. (Anyone who claims different is wrong, the bounty campaigns love to confuse the term!)

The best way to find an airdrop is the following:

(1) Cruise the news sites to identify which hard fork attempts may be scheduled (All 2018 Hard Fork Attempts)
(2) Buy the cryptocurrency that will be the target of the hard fork attmept
(3) Hold this cryptocurrency through the hard fork date
(4) Claim new ICO currency that was granted via the airdrop

Good luck!

i have join many airdrop in a month past
but till now dint receive any coin/token
i dont believe in airdrop
u can try bounty campaign

I guess you have to be in luck too, but I know a close friend who actually did this and gathered some that added up to a value of around $500, he actually stopped doing it, because of busy work schedule, so I am wondering if other people who do it consistently have a better worked out approach.

Thank you this is something I can work with. Thank you for the source as well. How big do you invest when you buy the ICO?

There are sites like airdropalert.com which post new airdrops as soon as they are available.
But be careful, its time consumimg and projects often just dont pay. I quit taking part in airdrops a few month ago, its just not worth the effort.

That's exactly how I feel about airdrops to... I tried claiming a couple of them a while ago to see what all the fuss was about, but most of those tokens were completely worthless. In the end, I calculated I made less than $2/hour claiming those airdrops...

Off course it's possible I didn't know how to distinguish promising air drops, so I might have spend a lot of time claiming airdrops that would have looked like rubbish for an experienced aidrop-claimer, but still, I think you can better get an IRL job and buy crypto with your income instead of claiming airdrops... Just my opinion tough

I totally understand what you are saying, but somehow I do believe there has to be someone or a group of ppl who understand the airdrop game and have a routine that is rewarding. Every kind of game has people who master it. I want to know how to play the game like a pro (or at least understand how to play the game with the least amount of waste time/resources), because like your story is very recognizable.

It's a good way to earn some money for your work and it also helps many investors to know about the ICO projects.
I usually keep some coins from airdrops for a while after listing on the exchanges to get more profits.

- Do you just hold? Or you wait for the value of your assets to reach your target and cash out?

I joined around 100-150 airdrops this year (without selection), got almost 50 tokens to my balance. Most of them doesn't even have a value (yet?). A few of them got listed on exchanges, these ones are down around 90% in value, worth a few bucks only. My initial strategy was to join as much as possible and hold them for long, who knows maybe there is a hidden gem amongst them.

- How do you track?

On etherscan.io after a registration you can add ETH addresses to your watchlist, this way you will get email notifications when there has been a transaction to/from your account.

Yeah your approach makes sense ... just hoard as much as possible and hope when the market across the board will go up and cash some ...

thanks for the tip on etherscan.io ...

Despite of how many airdrops you joined per year there is always a greater chance that the tokens you will receive has no value. You can just earn $40-$50 dollars with only 50-70 transaction in your ERC-20 Wallet which I think is very small. Sometimes the price value of the token you receive is much smaller than the needed gas for transferring the token to an exchange.

I think selfdrop is better than doing airdrop as it may give you a large quantity of token compare to the distribution alotted in airdrop.

It seems that there aren't real masters of the airdrop game ... or they just don't want to share the activities how to be a successful airdrop farmer ...
