Title: Choosing which Airdrops to do
Post by: CryptoDanB on March 02, 2018, 01:30:24 PM
There just seems to be an overwhelming number of available airdrops.  Do people just do as many as they can or is there a way to tell which are the best?

Try visiting their website, read their whitepaper, road map look who are team behind the project. It would surely take time to do those and to research but atleast you can be sure which airdrop is serious and which is not.

I've been to hundreds of airdrops and there's really no telling which ones are the best.
Just have a quick read about the project
 
I have some few guides in spotting fake ones.
Try to avoid those without websites and ANN.
Be cautious also with newly created twitter accounts (most are just trying to gain new followers).
You would also encounter airdrops that require you to join telegram (I recommend you to avoid telegram channels only, No chatroom)
And as always, avoid those that require "donations"

Thanks, that all makes sense.

I avoid ones that mimic others names.. like Neo Gold.. Ethereum White.. Bitcoin Purple.. Litecoin Cash Gold Plus.. you get the idea.. the only one of these that actually seems worth a damn is Ethereum Blue and thats not THAT big of a miss even then... should atleast help you trim some of the fat... also avoid airdrops for things that don't have a whitepaper.. or want you to pay "gas" to send coins.. if a company can't afford gas transactions for airdrops they don't deserve your business.

hm, if there's a good quality website and roadmap, twitter account and fb page, whitepaper and has bitcointalk account then its good, I get tired of filling up forms and don't know which is the legit one,

Mainly avoid airdrops that asks for your private keys. It is scam - for obvious reason. And also the ones which require a small donation. Most of the time they turn out to be scam too. Also if you have more time on your hand go to their website/twitter etc and check whether those are genuine too. But I rarely do that as time is limited to me

Thank you very much for the advice, a friend of mine actually got fooled in to buying fake crypto currency.
It started out with her doing "fake" translations for the company and ended with her buying the companies fake crypto currency in name of the company with her own money.
Sure she is very gullible but still these frauds can be very sneaky, they had a website and everything...
the website was taken from a bankrupt company, further details my friend unfortunately did not share.

I have been participating in virtually every Airdrop around and with so many scams and crappy Airdrops, I decided to make a Telegram channel with only High Potential and Easy to complete ones that are directly deposited into your ETH wallet

Feel free to check them out.

I find it difficult to assess an airdrop with so many promotions all over the place. I would like to find a place that lists only airdrop that are easy to get on to. Not those that take an hour to do all the tasks. Also I would like to see every airdrop announce if they will need KYC BEFORE the airdrop not later in your mail.

You can investigate airdrops by looking at their contract address and their threads. Most airdrops nowadays are scam and don't have thread support. So if you ecounter airdrops without thread support, try to investigate if the y are legit or not.

Use the same process as you would to invest, can maybe be a bit more lenient on the criteria than you normally would as you are only investing a small amount of time instead of money. If you think the project looks good, then get involved. I have joined a number of airdrops, but only a few have really been worthwhile. Some could still prove to be so, but will take time. I don't tend to bother with ones offering less than $10 worth, it gets to be too much effort selling when it hits the exchanges. There's definitely money to be made, but most of them are not worth very much, it's the one in ten/fifty/hundred that will give you a decent return.

My suggestion is to check the credebility of the airdrops. You can make a research about the platform they are making for to ensure that their project is not a waste of time and effort.

You can follow some airdrop webpage. They list only quality airdrop.
I've followed them for about 3 months, although some of their listed airdrops are scam but most of them are legit and have high value.

For the convenient purpose, I will not show the webpage here.

I've made the mistake of just joining a bunch of airdrops that seemed legitimate without doing enough due diligence. Yes, I've been scammed, but I think it's led me to having a decent system for airdrops. Start with a spreadsheet to track the airdrops, create some filters by labeling columns and filling them in with color if they check off. Social media presence, contract address, token supply, premine % just to name a few, make a column for date of airdrop so you don't forget. Bonus points for airdrops with a team that has linkedin profiles, negative points for airdrops that claim they will hit a certain price, etc. you should do what makes you comfortable or what you're interested in at the least. Happy hunting!

I think firstly, you should check their website and their Telegram or Twitter (if any), If you find cleary information about their project like roadmap or whitepaper in the website or theỉr community is huge (member of telegram or twitter), it maybe a good airdrop. But i think you should join bounty instead because airdrop offer less than bounty many times.

To add to the other comments in this thread, I would also recommend to definitely not participate in any airdrop that requires a KYC (providing identity documents etc.). There have been some valid projects that have done this, but nevertheless providing a copy of your passport or identity document in order to receive tokens worth 0,50$, is simply not worth the risk.

This! I forgot this. Never sell your information!

I do all possible Airdrops - even the most craziest - who seems ver scamy to me. Those typically involve ETH wallet and Telegram. Mostly in chinese language.
I would advise using Telegram group which advertises Airdrops. There many groups which update their group with new entries. Test those entries , give stars, possible earnings, and so on. Time will only tell which is a golden airdrop and which is nothing. Prepare to have nothing and hope for the best.
My advise grow Twitter account and add as many followers as you can it is vital for many airdrops even to participate to have certain number of followers.

You can join some groups to post airdrop on telegram. They are experienced people who will choose the best projects for all members to participate in. Or you can also search some websites that publish airdrop information.

The easiest way to choose a good Airdrop project to join is to go to the telegram application and type "airdrop", groups will appear and find a group that has shared reputable projects and join.

Choosing any project at all to invest on be it trading, token sale, bounties or airdrops require a whole lot of research and information. You need to see how committed the team is towards developing the project and also how prospective such a project is. This can be found on the project Whitepaper, website and roadmap. This doesn't necessarily mean such a project will turn out successful but at least, it gives you an idea on the kind of 5hings to expect from a particular project.

Airdrops handle by trusted manager can give us a little bit assurance that they will pay. The question is what will be the coins value when hit exchange?
