PLEASE, stop sending promo tokens!!

[mrPix]

What a shit this "new" way of promoting ico!

Marketing managers of ICOs, are u really thinking this way contributes to development of your project? NO. Your useless shitcoins are being perceived like usual SPAM. It's even more awful than Avon samples from desperate women.

Thanks for the listening to.

What is so wrong in sending promos? If its free why not? Just like how they are giving airdrops I really think that is not a different way in giving them to the people, And if you don't like their shit tokens then I think you can sure ignore what is their trying to promote? Is it really that hard to just ignore it? And why lumping this to AVON and desperate woman? Do you really have issues in promoting or people that just want to make a living? I really think it is OK to have as many token there is even if they don't have any value for now Because someday they will be listed in some exchange and you will be surprise with its value, Or if not at least you can have a piece of their token, I think that is the effort of the developer in making it.

I agree that these promo tokens are a PIA.  I dislike people hijacking my wallet with junk coins.  I for one will not invest in any project that attempts this type of spamming technique.  We need less spam not more.

[passwordnow]

They are marketing it that way and if you don't like those tokens simply ignore it.

It doesn't look good on your address when you are searching it?

Because I hate everything intruding in my property. When I first time faced with it, I was wondering whether such tokens will have any value in future. The answer was no. Obviously, this is a cornerstone reason of my discontent.

Yes, I understand my wallet and any data once uploaded in WWW are public domain. I just give a feedback, my irritated reaction to this promo case.

[Noobaru]

I have a lot of this weird tokens in my wallets, that have no value (yet) and have been sent to me for doing nothing. I think we can classify them as spam easily. But you never know. Just leave them in your wallets, maybe they will be worth at least for a drink someday.

I agree it is quite anoying and I don´t think is efficient in terms of the money you have to spend to deploy all those tokens that will mostly be ignored. There are better ways.

[kingzpro]

Yeah i have also received few promo tokens that are nothing but dummy tokens, i think icos should never send such tokens without prior permission or they should only send such tokens who have applied for them, i think this type of promotion is nothing but spam.

[ziggy21]

Its very bad that projects think sending a few units of tokens to thousands of people means that they will get more recognition.
What this does is give them a short term high circulating supply that results from people dumping the Tokens and them the price will be worse than before.

[bellamente]

If you do not know how to choose quality projects that implement road map plans, then this is your problem!

Many earn their living here

If they not sell it “right now” they have a risk not sell it “never” in 99%. All is simple.

[mostkey]

Yes, my advice is only to ignore it because it is very disturbing in the progress of cryptocurrency now many are harmed by ordinary ICO projects, so be quiet and ignore not to complain here because they don't care and who you really are to tell all ICOs not to promote to you and it turns out they don't care, this is an effort they have made for a long time and need big money, if it is obtained for free it is very fortunate that you may be from one coin or a partial token good? it can happen and again if you don't want to ignore all promotions that come to you.

[FlamingFingers]

Hah. The first time I got promo tokens in 2017, I didn't know why I got them (I thought someone had sent the tokens to me by mistake; it wasn't a thing back then, mind you). I have a couple of few tokens that are worth $77.34 at the time. I know it doesn't help with projects' recognition, but who would turn down free tokens (especially Ethereum and ERC20 based ones)?

[valnd]

Most times, I receive such tokens and I will ignore them, so I will suggest you ignore them too, it does no harm to your wallet and you won't lose anything having them on your wallet and you can't stop them fro sending such tokens in the future, so best thing just ignore and focus on the real tokens you have gotten.

[Bloodseekers]

Thats new coin and the developer wants the coin to be known, so developers hire bounty hunters or others to help with promotion. If you dont like it just block it, unfollow it, igrone it Make it simple. I think you need refreshing. Make yourself comfortable. There are good coins and shit coins, Always do research so you are not deceived by shit coins

Just wondering whether you have already put you wallet address (or some body sold your data) earlier in some free airdrop sites.
Air dropping is a good way of promotion of your coin, why do you think it will not work?
Change your wallet if you are getting so much airdrop in it and so much bothered about it.

[bagas79]

Maybe you should be more observant in choosing or participating in projects that you will follow.

[flowers5]

I have received a few of these promo tokens into my Ethereum wallet.  it's a very intrusive and pushy way to advertise.  I'm not a huge fan of this.  I hope it does not become a trend moving forward. 

[UnlimitedMoneymaker]

Problem of spam is most important for crypto to solve overall. And I think it will happen. It won't be one ideal solution for everyone but it will be some options. These promo tokens will be useful when teams will give the value to their customers. For example discount on their product/service.

[aligator2017]

To be honest I have never heard about promoting by sending free tokens without even owner's(of address) participation in this. And sure, I think this is the worst advertisement ever used in crypto
