How to get rid of useless tokens

[Issa56]

Is there any way to stop unwanted tokens deposits in my wallet? I have used two different types of crypto wallets and I keep getting tokens I know nothing about, I read that those tokens are scammers trap and moreover I never worked for it.

Am tired of receiving scam token, in one of my wallet am having about 45 coins in it which I don't know how they get to my wallet, have also been thinking about if there is anyway I can stop receiving those coins but I don't think is possible and most of them are scam coin which if you want to swap they will charge you gas fee and you won't be able to swap or they will have access to your wallet. So the best thing to do is after receiving the coin just leave it in your wallet and don't try to swap it.

The point of crypto in some way is to be able to send everything and you see that has some bad sides. I have so many tokens on my wallets that I didnt buy but there is no way around it. Try not to look at it everyday xD

To grow in price token must be useful for people to be in demand. Now NFT very popular and a lot of new collections appear that offers new interesting products and tools like https://twitter.com/Buakaw113/status/1517463376066396160 which offers NFT from the fighting ring to the digital world.

A lot of new tokens appear every day but a lot depends how useful is the project and how it is in demand.
Many tokens do not have any practical use at all.

First of all it is necessary to check how useful is the project and what opportunities for people it offers.
The choice of projects is big and it is necessary to find the best ones.

You can't keep scammers create scam tokens and then sent it to addresses they are gathering and then those who will see it and then it made them greedy then that's the time you have fallen to their trap. Even though you have made some research but still the token or altcoin you have choosen is a scam or won't exist for a long time meaning it only shows that it looks like it has a lot of demand when in reality, demand is not what it looks like.

You have a lot of options, you can create another wallet and transfer all your good coins out of that wallet, these useless tokens are on Binance and Polygon chains, where the fee is very cheap or you can ignore it, it will not show up unless you add their contract address, you have to get used to it I'm receiving 1 to 3 of these useless tokens in every week and it does not bother me, I'm good at ignoring these useless tokens, your attention is important and it should be on legit projects.

The option for now is simply to ignore the tokens, not to interact with the tokens. The tokens are seriously on the rise. I think the scammers are taking advantage of newbies in the crypto space to defraud them. I think with time, as the awareness regarding the malicious nature of the tokens increases, people will stop interacting with the tokens and as such will no longer be of benefit to the scammers.

We can't avoid receiving these worthless tokens because some devs will really airdrop those to random wallets.
Even if we say, we haven't participated on their giveaway. Some will just send it hoping that someone will trade it.
Especially with tokens where you can easily list in a DEX platform. So they are looking for potential traders of their token.
But with so many scammers, you need to search first if the token is a scam, because instead of gaining something you will be losing your other tokens in your wallet.
Ignore and just do nothing with those tokens. Treat it as collectibles as you will incur gas fees if you will send it somewhere outside your wallet.

During the fall of the market only the best projects will be able to survive.
But nobody knows how long the fall of the market will last and when will be rise of the market.

Ignore if you don't know or you don't have any business regarding to your received tokens, it's best to just let it stay in your wallet or if you have some time, it's good to look for further information, scammers are just circling around and they are just waiting for some opening from those people who will not be careful about this matter.

Never to fall and always be wise in figuring the tokens out before stepping to any decisions that you have in mind.

This is such a good question. I have been impatiently waiting for someone in the crypto space to come up with a way to like delete all these scam coins, because they are annoying and dangerous. I have lost like 100mil safemoon interacting with them.

when you see strange coins in your wallet better move asset to another wallet. its dusting token which is could make our valueable assets loss if we interact with it. alot people being victim this dusting token which is come suddenly meanwhile we dont know where it is come from.

[hotimbineh]

we can't do anything with all these trash tokens except just being trash forever in a wallet that can't be thrown away and when it's piled up it's good to make a new wallet and most trash tokens will come if we often follow the airdrop.... although in fact not following anything sometimes this garbage will come

I don't know how these shitcoins become a reason for your losses. Ar they ask you to return their money after sending shitcoins? Or did they hack your wallet?

Well, having these garbage coins isn't dangerous but they are just only annoying, however, we can ignore them. Honestly, I receive some coins from an unknown address (many had also gotten free tokens) but never do I put pressure on this why it comes and never do I spend time asking or digging who sent it. As for having no chance to stop this scenario nor to get rid of it from our wallet, the best thing to do is just let it stay and never talk to someone asking money because they send their coins to you, accidentally sent the wrong address as this will lead to scamming.

It is true that the shitty coins are very annoying but it is not dangerous and never make a person lose coins. Can we know how can the shitty coins lose your 100 mil safemoon? As far as I know, the shitty coins on our wallets can't do anything, they have no ability to hack our coins. People who send the shitty coins just want to make the wallet users look for the information about the coins and be trapped by them. If we ignore the shitty coins, we won't lose anything.

It is difficult to get rid of useless tokens, because they already know the address of our wallet that we always publish when following the gift complex, so most importantly we do not care about the token do not want to sell it or send because they will know our private key with the smart address they have designed, then letting is a very appropriate action.

[Blowon]

if it's safe, you can just sell it but I don't think it's necessary because it just wastes your gas costs on useless things. But a lot of people lately are talking about token dusting, if you transact with this it's the same as giving your wallet access to be stolen, that's so scary. Therefore it is more recommended to leave the tokens useless otherwise you could be exposed to token dusting because they are difficult to identify with certainty.

[icalical]

Nope, nothing you can do about this, you can hide them but it doesn't mean the token is gone, it's still in your wallet. The best you can do is make a new wallet, and my suggestion is that you should never post your main address in a group or forum. Only send your wallet address through private message, it will not prevent 100% from those scam coin, but it definitely will minimize the risk.

Only time can show how usefull a token is. A lot depends on the team, promotion, technology the project offer.
Not all the projects are able to realized all planned ideas. That is why it is necessary to check the development of the project.

In most cases, users ignore such dust tokens but some inexperienced users can be victim of dust attack. They wanna get rid of tokens and some cloned exchanges are offered to trade it. After entering some data and letting Metamask connect on unsafe environment, hackers will clean everything avaliable on wallet address.

Yes, careless people can be the victim. As I said above, actually no one can be the victim if they just ignore the dust tokens, not doing anything. Someone can be the victim if he/she connects their wallet (Metamask) to an exchange. Once it is connected or accessed by an exchange, a hacker has the ability to steal good tokens/coins from the wallets. In most cases, the exchange that offers the market to sell the dust tokens are unfamiliar exchanges.

The first thing you need to do is to stop joining airdrops for cryptocurrency that you don't think is valuable. As for the ones already in your wallet, you can send them out to a burn address or just ignore them.
