Do you suggest participate in airdrop? why?

I got every part you told there, except ETH address.
How can someone be traced through it actually?

The possibility to be anonymous or pseudonymous relies on you not revealing any identifying information about yourself in connection with the bitcoin addresses you use.  If you post your bitcoin address on the web, then you're associating that address and any transactions with it with the name you posted under.  If you posted under a handle that you haven't associated with your real identity, then you're still pseudonymous.

Well, this also applied to Ethereum, right?
Who knows maybe an airdrop actually is a massive deanonymizing pool operated by an intelligence agency.

It depends completely on what and how we show our cards. Things like ETH are already centralized and it is proven many times, so the project conducting airdrop need not to be an intelligence agency because Vitalik has got too much control over these addresses that he will reveal everything himself to them if asked. The major cause for me to not take part in any of the airdrops is that most of them are ERC20 tokens working over Ethereum blockchain and no matter whichever project you give your KYC to for some dollars, your documents are assured to get compromised even if they show you huge privacy related content on their Privacy policy page. Most of them don't have an actual working concept and others are just clones with different names. I miss those PoW + PoS coins or just PoW coins that work on their own chain and had some real milestones to get achieved. Working for those coins was fun and they had value too, but these airdropped projects look junk to me and most of them prove out to be the same in future with no real use case.

no longer to send KYC to them, now almost all airdrop programs will ask KYC as the main requirement so that you can receive their tokens which of course are not in accordance with the exchange rate that we will later get

I don't join in those that requires KYC for airdrop, there are still some that didn't requires it, but when we do airdrop it take too much time, by just finding and then registering. Somehow better than not doing anything at all.

well, that is a very smart action because if you become a participant from airdrop and give your identity which is your privacy it will make a lot of people know you and the data you provide for KYC can be used for unexpected crime.

Airdrop is nothing to people these days and that's the reason why most people now go for bounty campaigns because it earn more than airdrop, airdrop is really stress free unlike that of bounty but nowadays people want bigger pay than what airdrop can offer. All you listed there is nothing when people receive more pay there.

[coinsycrip09]

there are some airdrops from the ico project that i still follow and they don't ask for my ID, so i'm not really worried about it.
indeed now airdrop is not so valuable, so i really don't recommend following it.

Do you have to buy the ico or altcoin in order to get airdrop?

Some project do not required to buy, however you may required to send your IDs to pass (KYC).

Most projects encounter with the first problem and it is not worth giving up for it. Join airdrops as investment for the future. The other problem depends on your own choice. Try airdrops that do not need KYC.

[Twinkledoe]

The truth is, before I eagerly joined those airdrops but right now, I don't see anything of value to spend my time with them. It's true, they will require you to complete the KYC thing for few bucks and once it hit the exchanges, you are already too late to catch the peak. Maybe, this is the reason why airdrops are now not an exciting thing for the users here. You will spend your time and effort and risking your identity for few pennies.

Nowadays many ICOs offer free coins, but we have two problems with this free coins, the first one the value of this coins will drop after start trading due to a lot have free coins willing to sell it, and the second they ask for your ID (KYC), and i think it is very risky to send your IDs to any one.

It is never too bad to recieve something for free, who knows, maybe one day that coin will worth something. It is allways good to get free coins which are listed on coinmarketcap, because they are already traded on exchanges.
Doing KYC for airdrop is mostly bad thing to do, because your data worth more than any airdrop.
Airdrops for holders are great, allways claim them.
Did you know that few of top 10 coins had airdrop?

It's always free money. Never say no to free money is one of the rules of life.
I usually participate in airdrops giveaways or even raffles. Every opportunity to earn is good especially if you don't have to work for it.

Those of you who think it's bad money should go outside and try to find that 10 dollars lying on the pavement. You will spend all day and won't find it because people don't let money go to waste. You still have a chance to earn here because not many people know about it.

KYC is only for promising projects and proven to pay. I don't want to give my personal data to join Airdrop. I think that is too dangerous, many cases of data abuse.
but if it's profitable I will give it.

I wondering how you know it is profit before end of ICO and even start trading?

I will never waste my time or sell my identity for free coins which are normally not worth $50. Such projects looks too risky for me to exchange my personal details for their coin. In my personal opinion, KYC should be only done by investors who purchase huge amount of the tokens or the coins..

I agree with your valid points. Sending the documents for KYC is too risky for me too for the few cents worth tokens. I can count other reasons but some people prefer to participate in the airdrops rather than doing the remote job for as a middleman.

[minttop]

It depends on your time and your fortune. If you are rich guy, then your time worth much more than for ordinary people, so I think that airdrops aren't for you.

I like to participate in airdrops but when it comes to sending my ID that is where I would stop.
I wouldn't risk my personal data because of a penny or a worthless token.
If they really want to give it for free why would they even need to require a KYC?

[uneng]

I think the labor for airdrops is too undemanding, they do any job for anything, seems there is a lack of self respect for their own job, for themselves. If airdrops members started asking for guarantees and better conditions before applying for the task, the developers would raise the payments.
Participants should ask for payment in another currencies too, it could be an altcoin or bitcoin, since it has a decent price, it's fine, so you know you won't work for nothing. That is my opinion, because airdrops as they are now don't worth, there isn't any guarantee or respect for participants.

Sometimes I think about joining one to see how it does, but then I imagine it's most probable the participants are just being fooled (as the investors as well, if there is someone yet).

[starblocks]

Airdrops can be a fun way for beginners to obtain some coins or tokens for free and also for anyone who wants to collect some of these assets just in case they appreciate in future and become worth something and although there's not that many available at the present moment IEOs will likely utilize these as a marketing gimmick and should provide more to participate in if they increase further in popularity

When it comes to airdrop i think its not nessesary to have IDs or KYC because its only a free coins and its not really profitable in the end. Most of my airdrops token are useless or shit token. Thats why i never do airdrop again its a waste of time and effort.
