Ways to earn aside from bounty campaign and airdrop

[Lagduf]

Testnets are quite a good experience, if you ask me. It gives a win-win situation for everyone concerned here. Why? You get to use a new start-up products and test it's integrity, and you may be rewarded with some profitable tokens. Quite a good one

I have been testing bunch of network and only a few that was giving reward. I think that this is pretty much the same like doing airdrop. Mostly of developers didn't wanna give tokens for free. Only few that was paying the participants.
Im still trying right now but the chance is quite small to get a decent reward like aptos. it must be aproject supported by binance.

Completing tasks in the test network sometimes brings a good profit. One of the last such examples was the airdrop from Aptos, in which for mint free NFT in the test network, its participants received 150 APT, which is approximately equal to $1200. By the way, the activity in this test network has not ended yet, since only 3% of the 51% allocated to the community has been spent.

That's very generous of them. I remember I also got 400 UNI upon using them while they were not releasing a token yet.

This is a risky approach though and will cost a transaction fee which is unsure whether they really will give away tokens. But this is a sign of a near bull market because during the time of UNI, its where coins are also retracing back to high support levels.

If I understand it correctly, the nft and crypto coins you guys get can only be spent inside their testnet and not in the real world right? But, why you seem to be positive about it when the real one that you will get from doing these kind of tasks are their own token which value is also small since they are still starting but you can always hodl it and see if it became huge later on.

There is a risk in doing this because we may be required to connect our wallet and there are projects who are scams which can rob us. This is why the OP is recommending us to use dummy accounts and this includes creating a new crypto wallet only for this purpose.

Yes, all the coins and NFT that you receive in the test network can only be spent in this test network to complete tasks. But the reward at the end of testing is distributed in the main network. It will be possible to talk about the value of the coin that you will receive as an airdrop only after it starts trading on the exchange.

To eliminate all the risks associated with the loss of the contents of your wallet, you need to use a new wallet specially created for this purpose.

Nice thread. I haven't really participated in any bounties and airdrops except for my signature. I tried Evmos before at least but I haven't received anything, maybe I was a little late. I have many friends spending their time on testnets but I thought it was like a lottery before earning decent amounts while spending gas on tests. Now it is trending once again because of the Aptos who just airdropped over a thousand dollars per testnet participant.

So are there any active testnets currently that seem promising?

...I have many friends spending their time on testnets but I thought it was like a lottery before earning decent amounts while spending gas on tests...

You are confusing retroactive with testnet. To complete tasks in the test network, test coins are required, which you will receive as an airdrop. While, for example, Uni was distributed as an airdrop to participants who were the first to be active on Uniswap, that is, retroactive. In the second case, you would have to bear the costs of gas.

There are many airdrops and bounty going to earn some coins but aside from these many trading competition going on exchanges, we can take part of these promotions. Coins trading is also a good option to earn big. Mining website like pi is also very handful to increase some money. We can also create own crypto currency to go with good business.

And that's what makes many people want to take part and hope to benefit from each project. But be careful if you want to join airdrop and bounty projects and don't join if they offer prizes but you have to verify by doing KYC because it's not worth continuing. Some airdrop and bounty projects can increase greatly after the coin's launch on the market. And that provides an opportunity for those who collect a lot of prizes to sell and make a profit. And usually, the price of the coin or token will drop drastically due to the large number of people selling their coins or tokens.

I agree, you can earn coins by participating in the bounty campaign but how can you ensure that it will be worthy or not untill to listed on the exchanges? bounty is just bullshit, there are no guarantee to earn a penny in this bearish market. Don’t waste your time to mining such SCAM coins.

Almost all bounties rightnow not really worth again except joining with bounties campaign paying by stable coins, I think although still have chance to earn money by joining bounty campaign not guarantee will profitable like last three or four years ago. No matter with beariah or bullish market condition, all bounties just waste our time except have good price until bounty ended but not distribution on time until coin price going drop.
Need to be nore careful choose which one worth bounty campaign for joining and have escrowed if want distribution on time.

[Lorokan]

I missed a lot of these testnets. Maybe it's time to be back. Thanks for this A-list. ( I think )

While participating in the testnets, it is important to be wary of the kinds of website you connect your wallet to, many testnet events are out to hack your wallet and drain your funds. So be sure to participate in testnets event using a new wallet. Also, be sure to dyor; not all test-nets events are incentivized

Tesnet actually aims to test the platform whether it works or not. This means it is still in the testing phase. Some have been successful and many have failed.

So, even if this is only for airdrops or bounty campaigns, you should first study each project, see the whitepaper, twitter or telegram, whether the project is regularly updated or not.

Bounties have been a waste of time for years, maybe you can find one that pays you and the coin eventually reevaluates yourself and allows you to make some money, but this is quite rare these days, and even if you were part of a good bounty there would not be any guarantee you will get paid as we see the developers make all kind of excuses to not pay their bounty participants what they deserve.

So I suggest that people stop thinking about bounties as a way to make money in the market of cryptocurrencies as this is not 2017 anymore.

That's why the Op has warned in advance to use a dummy wallet or dummy email and my advice is also to record all of our dummy wallet information in a notepad so as not to lose access to reopen it.
This is the first time I heard about it and I think it's worth trying because it's a little different from bounty where bounty has so many tasks to do while it's simpler

Bounty campaigns was once a good way in earning until the scam projects arrived and lots and lots of project came. Same goes with airdrops around in 2016 where several people have made good money out of airdrops from successful projects.
Now, as for the testnets, the fact that people have mentioned how people have earned with Aptos, will give you an idea that it's more likely you'll find 1 out of 50 testnets that'll give you profit.
So, you'll have to make bunch of testnets and hope that one of them are going to be like Aptos.

Yes, there is some sort of disclaimer from the OP in the beginner, and obviously, you need to separate everything including your emails so that there will be no spam coming from this so called projects and it should be very clean account for you.

Otherwise, if all of your crypto and personal emails are in one, then it will be clogged and maybe you will be spam to death and can't identify which one is the most important emails for you, so just be careful in joining with your real email accounts, just create multiple dummy accounts.

ever since Aptos soared giving out freebies to their testnet users and being listed on major exchange sites, testnet airdrop hunters started popping up again and creating a lot of spam also burdening every existing server, for example Shardeum doesn't work well also one other addition i.e. SUI is also overloaded spam on their discord because of yesterday's Aptos effect where almost every user earns thousands of dollars in short that's cool when the market is bearish and people are getting free money from Aptos

Before Aptos other projects did same and reward users. There is one I joined not too long ago (forget the name of the project) they reward all testnet users although the reward was not as big as Aptos. The point is, it is been going on for some time now probably Aptos seems to be the biggest reward of late. Plus it is not entirely free because you did some task to be rewarded.

I have one email that is indeed dedicated to these kinds of things or is currently registering on a gambling website and want to try it, it is true that you say that the email will be filled with junk messages that if it is in our main email it will be very annoying once.
Suggestions for @cryptoaddictchie could probably put an update on the main page so it's easier to trace, but that's when you please and have time to keep it up to date

[tvplus006]

...Is there any website that collects all the upcoming blockchain project and offer testnet with rewards? ..

I bring to your attention a blog that I myself use to perform tasks in the test network https://airdropclaimers.medium.com/ which publishes current tasks for the testnet and contains a guide for their implementation. I think that following the guide, you will be able to complete the tasks yourself, even if you have not done this before.

We only got the rewards when tasks are completed, that was the common rule in participating test networks. But I don't think it was too hard not to complete it. I'm not sure what is the computation of rewards but likely it is shared with all participants the amount allocated for this. Of course, we never have to expect big rewards from this but at least, by simply doing a few tasks and without any amounts coming out of our pocket, I think it is worth spending our time, especially if we do nothing in our life.

[cryptoaddictchie]

As long as you didnt pay any money at all thats free. If you did some minimal or very short limited time for that then it still free. What you are saying is that is not should be the case? Like everyone deserved some compensation. Some of those projects are doing this for promotions and thats totally depend on them either they reward users who participate or not.

And the wallet we use too should be different from your regular wallet. This is why some people will later experience their wallets been emptied because in the process of doing these kinds of task, you might end up doing a scam one. I normally don't do many airdrops but when I do, I do have a specific email and wallet for Airdrops I believe it's safer.
