The one and most important thing in joining an airdrop is
DO NOT EVER entrust your private key to anybody, NOT EVEN yourself!

For me the Airdrop that I only trust are those that are written in AirdropAlerts.com because I think they are the legit airdrops and they really give free coins. Just don't give your private keys and your safe even it is scam or not.
Where can I find out more about airdrops?

Hi, as the others said before if in the airdrop registration you dont have to give away your private key they cant stole money from you. And its another thing if the project will succeed or not.
Does anyone have advice on how to distinguish authentic airdrops from scams?
a legit airdrop doesn't ask your private info like private key or asking for money. And also there are legit airdrop but unfortunately its not succesful so we didnt get anything
hello are there any airdrops still going on???
are those airdrop has actually value?

Tbh, airdrops are free... So, as long as it only required your eth address / bitcointalk forum nickname, you have nothing to loose even if it is a scam...
In case you don't want to waste your time apply for scam airdrops you could study their project, is it good, unique, and have a good chance to succeed in the future... But it takes time, you know...
You can't ever be 100% sure... But you can try things like background checks of the droppers.
- Check why they are doing it.
- Check if they didn't just copy a popular one.
- Check if they try to stay hidden or if they are open about everything.
- Check forums with discussions about the droppers.
- Never, ever give your private key to anyone. Neither your UTC/JSON file.
- If it's really too good to be true, just try it. In the world of cryptocurrency, you never know ;-)

If they ask for your Private Key, it's a scam. Can't believe how stupid some people can be to give their private key to someone but hey, there's lots of stupid people in the world! 
I find it hard to tell what ones are legit but if you do a little research and digging you can usually find out. If something seems too good to be true then it probably is.
well, right now it's a lot of airdrop. always be careful when someone asks for a private key. enough with a wallet only. be careful also if anyone asks to send some money.

Yes, I do have. It's the DYOR advice: Do Your Own Research. Besides, the telling sign that an airdrop is a scam is a developer asking you for more revealing information such as private key or you sending coins first before you could receive from them.
It's really hard to tell which ones are real 
hi, there is some websites repertoring the good ones, otherwise try to find information abouter team...website, community etc.
The thing is, airdrops should be FREE. So there's literally zero risk in trying to determine if a certain cryptocurrency's airdrop is legit or not, as like I said earlier, you would probably only need to sign a message to confirm that the wallet is indeed yours. You can literally just join every single airdrop in existence and you wouldn't lose anything but your time.

When you join an airdrop, there is a free distribution of tokens, so you wont loose anything besides your time.
If you value your time like I do, you should look for airdrops that seem to have a good team behind it, that deliver and its active, you should look into the project itself, if it looks promising, if it is inovator or it is a copycat like most of them created lately.. then stay away from those.
You shouldnt have to send anything like money or private keys to the dev. Maybe some information about eth address and email but thats about it. Also see how active the devs are in the ann because that is a telling sign.
Recently Ethereum Dark ann seems like it is now a scam because devs are barely online and there seems to be zero development ongoing. Be careful out there, otherwise you will be left salty and holding a bag.
