"We see you have contributed to web3.py [this is true] and that you are elligible for a XYZ airdrop [or some other acronym] so please allow me to use your Github account for 10 minutes so that I can help you claim it."

Or other times its "Please give us money so that we can claim the airdrop for you."

This is a very '90's way of scamming people TBH. A very common way of scamming people, but it seems like it's working because they are still using it.
Anyway, I didn't expect that scammers will beg for money.

Kidding aside, I'm joining airdrops a few times this year, but those are the ones that requires me to stake some X tokens in order to get this airdrop (for ex. ATOM and OSMO to get TIA airdrop, etc.). I don't join to this type of airdrops, but I'm the type of a guy who is very suspicious at first hence, when I see that the email or the content of the text suspicious, I just simply ignore it like what I'm doing for many years already.

If you're the type of person that's joining airdrops, maybe getting the official emails of those projects might help so that it will decrease your chances of getting scammed. Don't entertain random emails unless you want to troll them.

Penasaran apakah masalahnya ada di DNS atau range IP ane yang kena filter sama forum.

Setau saya belum ada info tentang IP yang difilter forum. Semua IP bisa akses forum, termasuk IP Indonesia.

Mesti ada alasan yang cukup jika sekiranya forum sampai menambahkan fitur filter pada IP user tertentu. Karena Altcoinstalks secara umum boleh digunakan user dari manapun. Entah kalau kedepannya ada semacam filter IP juga seperti di Bitcointalk <- namun ini bisa di by pass dengan menggunakan VPN.

btw, firewall juga setahu saya bisa menjadi salah satu penyebab performa network jadi lambat.

Maybe you can show something more to make your words credible. People will look for a negative side since they don't find any reason to believe in your words especially since your account is a newbie account. They might think that the airdrops listed might be full of scams or phishing and not being filtered by you.

Though I fully support using your website as I have experience and know those listed airdrops you have on your website. Aside from that, I know you from the other forum.

In hindsight — I think I should've used my other forum's username instead for better reputation lol. 

But I suggest you guys should also add short term and point based airdrops, like the airdrops in which we make points by posting on twitter and tagging the projects, I think such airdrops are also worthy enough to be on your website. I liked the layout as its very simple and I will join your TG as well. let's see what you guys have on your TG, As far as I have seen handling TG is very hard task.

I'm so not a fan of those social media airdrops. The reputable airdrops has moved on from those to liquidity airdrops already. Thanks for the recommendation tho!

Because of the popularity of airdrops, there are even some people in our country, who even initiate to conduct a mastering airdrop course. It's a good initiative, actually. But the only thing I disagree with is they require a participation fee. LOL.

If there is a fee and there is a guarantee that participants will get something of equal or greater value than the fee paid, that is no problem. In fact, usually airdrops that use fees have a small number of participants, so airdrop results can be maximized if you use a pool system.

This fee does not have to be paid directly, but could be a main requirement such as capturing transactions or something else. Like Uniswap, which requires users to have made transactions several months before the airdrop announcement was launched. There are those who spend some money on airdrops, and as long as it's worth it, why not?

Indeed, this makes sense.
It cannot be denied that if we do an airdrop, our desire is to get good results from the airdrop. especially if it requires a fee. In this case, the fee is a very small amount. If the fee is considered quite high, even more than 5$, this will be very suspicious, right? Therefore, we as airdrop hunters also have to consider the pluses and minuses, and the possibilities of whether this is a scam or not.

In the past, I had already issued it, an airdrop on blockchain or another platform, it was a long time ago and I forgot, and if I remember correctly, I had to have a fee or something, but it was really a very small amount. And it is used as transfer only. so after that it really really made a difference. At that time you could get at least $25, which is quite good considering the fee paid doesn't reach $1.

Yea — contrary to what a lot of people think, most airdrops(good and bad) aren't really 'free'. The good airdrops today that pay really well require you to stake or provide liquidity(albeit temporarily, you can withdraw after); with the risk of protocol exploit. Though I carefully handpick what I list on Paldo.io to make the risks as low as possible, this risk can't be 100% prevented.

Pero sinabi ng Binance dito,

Quote

The global exchange also said it is committed to comply with Philippine laws and its ongoing efforts to resolve the situation favorably.

Binance also stressed that the situation is just temporary:

It’s important to note that in spite of the temporary accessibility issues, Binance is committed to complying with local regulations and securing a beneficial outcome for our users.

Binance Statement
The exchange also warned against using third-party platforms for accessing Binance:

Please keep in mind that the unfolding situation is dynamic and complex. As we actively navigate this, we remind you the importance of staying informed and vigilant about third-party platforms claiming to provide access to Binance. We cannot endorse any unofficial methods for retrieving funds.

So hindi parin tapos ang lahat, diba? Baka makabalik sila katulad sa India na nagbayad sila ng fine. So siguro masid masid tayo, parang gusto naman talaga bumalik ng Binance sa Pinas kaya sa tingin ko baka makakabalik nga sila ewan lang natin kung kailan.

          -  Oo tama ka dyan mate, at ginawan yan ng isang kasama natin dito ng topic tungkol sa statement ng binance At hindi naman siguro nagsisinungaling ang spokes person ng Binance sa korean sa bagay na yan, diba?

Yun nga lang mukhang matatagalan pa yan dahil tama yung sinabi ng iba na mahabang proseso pa yan, at sana lang ituloy-tuloy ng new chairman ng Binance ang pagcomply, dahil nung last year ay parang natigil yung pagcomply, diba? Kaya biglang nagbago ang ihip ng hangin sa SEC natin dito sa bansa natin.

At may precedent narin diba? Sa pagkakaalam ko pinatalsik na sila ng India, pero nakabalik at nagbayad lang ng million lang naman. Pero maliit parin yun kumpara sa kikitain nila sa Indian market pag balik nila.

Kaya naisip ko rin na posible rin talagang makabalik ang Binance sa tin. Basta mag comply sa SEC tapos bayad lang ng fine din at balik na sila.

At syempre tayo ang makikinabang rin kasi karamihan nasanay na sa Binance lalo na yung P2P nila.

Re: Hold and trade which is best for you?

Maybe change the "AND" with "OR" since you let us pick 2 things.
Anyway, different investors have different answers to this one because it's a subjective topic, but I rather go hold some long-term coins rather than trading.

I already tried trading and lost many times on it, and it came to a point where I was disappointed on myself because even though I'm watching YouTube videos every single day, I still lost because of my wrong decisions and my emotions. I thought back then that emotions will not affect me since most of the time especially with my investments, I always don't use my emotions on it. Anyway, holding is what works for me hence, that's what I'm focusing with right now.

I know that there are some who are doing both holding and trading, and there's nothing wrong with it. At the end of the day, what matters the most is we earn profits from what we are doing.
