Are airdrops safe?

[SolarWindMiningCompany]

all of airdrop campaign are safe, but if some airrop ask our personal identity like private key, personal information or something like phising we must be aware because many of them just are scamming airdrop.

and for me i never participate in shit airdrop campaign

Airdrop left so much shit coins and I do not think that it is worth now to join them, though there are some that really pays but few and sometimes cause for you to get scam when you are not careful on it. Much better to trade than to take risk on something that wont give you a return. It is safe not until they ask KYC for verification.

I suggest you become critical of airdops you fill because many airdrops are fake. While some may not ask for your private keys, mnemonics  or send you phishing links. Many are created to lure participants into giving away their personal data which will be sold to identity thieves or some might just be create to be used to build Telegram channels or twitter accounts. One just have to be very careful

Depending on the requirements needed, it can either be safe or a total waste of your time. Personally, I see airdrops as a waste of people time and resources. How can you like, share or post on all your social media just for $2 to $10?  The annoying aspect is that, almost  all airdrop coins or tokens are shit coins with no market value. People should stop wasting their time on airdrops.

The way they usually work is they give you some string and you sign it to prove you own the address.

Could a malicious air drop make a transaction sending all your BTC to them, and then you sign it, and then they broadcast it to the network?
Or is signing a message different than signing a transaction?

Airdrops are free , there is no way that they will sign a message just to get a free tokens. If you see that kind of malicious it is not an airdrop at all. I have been receiving free rewards of tokens from airdrops and all what i have to do is just fill their form with the etherium address that i have. And wait for them to distribute the tokens.

yeah, i think you are right.
most airdrop tokens are worthless tokens. but there are some good airdrops to follow and have good grades, i also sometimes follow them. indeed for now a good airdrop is very difficult to find.

so, i am no longer interested in following the airdrop. i better work as a bounty hunter or trade, it is quite profitable than wasting time to follow the airdrop.

Usually most airdrops in crypto projects are safe, you won't need to do some complicated things.
But better to avoid airdrop that requiring you to sign message, or submit kyc docs because it won't worth.

The idea of airdrop is a good way to earn some free tokens for performing few tasks. However, it is good to check out the project hosting the airdrop before deciding to fill out the forms because most of the online forms are just coming from scammers, spammers, hackers, phisphers etc to collect the personal details of participants. Hence, check the authenticity of the project and its airdrop before joining.

For me, not all airdrops are safe, I have long joined the airdrop just once; there was never a requirement to have to sign and ask to send our bitcoin, because airdrop coins are free. If someone asks you to send a BTC first, that is fraud or fraud. , I suggest to be more careful with new airdrops

[Alohadanc3]

Airdrops are most of the pretty safe. If you have to sign through the address still its safe it doesn't do any kind of harm to your wallet. But nowadays airdrops are nothing but some waste of time. Most of the airdrops are fake and and some of them give very less quantity which almost don't have any kind of value. So I don't think wasting time on airdrop is a clever move. Now choice is yours.

Most airdrops do not worth your time because the reward is usually garbage. Any airdrop asking you to sign with your private key in order to claim it is probably scam. Well, some legit airdrops do exist like the recent XLM airdrop by KEYBASE which demands you have an account with keybase and github before 9th September to be eligible.

worth or not is a matter of perspective but however I do agree with your opinion that any airdrop which asking too much things and could be predicted to have a garbage value is not worth the time. just pick an airdrop from a reputable project and it will be fine although the value usually lacking aswell.

That is a very good clue to all airdrop participants especially to the newbies who do not know much about how these scammers, phishers and hackers operate. Never send any token to anyone in other to be eligible to participate in an airdrop. Airdrops are suppose to be free and the highest demand it can request is to ask participants to do few tasks such joining the telegram group and follow the social media pages of the project.

[Aldrinx00]

If it ask you to sign anything then avoid it because airdrops are meant to be free and doesn't come with signing or anything asking for upfront payment etc. I stopped on airdrops because most of it are useless and worthless.

[jorenpo]

join airdrops that only as about your address.

Or just create an email, that you are not afraid to drawn in spam.

Airdrops are not dangerous, as long as you dont copy/paste your private key accidentally and dont upload KYC info for a token/coin with mysterious background.

i marked the relevant part of your message. as soon as you have to give something before you
receive something, 99% of it is rip-off. so please stay careful and finger away from such offered.

[magnum cyber]

I don't really understand air droplets, because I have never participated in such a project. but logically if they ask participants to send your BTC to them makes no sense, I mean it's a red flag for you. LOL if you do it for them.

[attech21]

somehow airdrop is an event that is simple, easy, free and safe. if they have done a strange and suspicious new thing you don't need to join him because there are still many other projects

some airdrops are scam and we all know that if you sign in on it and provide them what they want to get like your funds then you will be an stupid investor right? 99% of airdrops are scams most of them wanted to get all your private keys. Its so weird right? Why they wanted to get your private keys if it is legit? Dont trust anybody even they are legendary member.

I'm not afraid to go through the KYC procedure, i have some "special" documents for it)

[Ghenjer]

I don't know exactly about whether or not it is safe in the airdrops campaign, but in connection with this I don't think you need to make a transaction or send your BTC for airdrops token feedback. that's kind of a silly trick. Don't do it if you don't want to get stuck in a poop.

You should avoid any Airdrops that require you to submit your identity, for example KYC. I really will not follow Airdrop that requires KYC, they just want to take it our identity then if they use it for crime then our identity will be tainted. While the results we get are not in accordance with the energy we have spent.
