Topic: Air Drops - How to tell if one is Authentic or a Scam? - page 4. (Read 1014 times)
It's really hard to tell which ones are real
I have not figured out a way to tell besides, signing up and waiting, even some that are legit at first will have problems and not deliver, time is really the only answer as far as I can tell.
Does anyone have advice on how to distinguish authentic airdrops from scams?
No one can tell. So try to study by yourself project aim and idea to see is that a copy/paste project or just a hype or something bring new developments to crpto world . also try to search what developers and coders say about it don't take only view read more and then nothing to loose by registering in airdrop . and remember some projects will fail in one month time other will continue like a rocket (see the story of XMR ,DCR ,ONION ..etc) Thank you
Uh. You can easily tell if one is legit or a scam just simply by checking if they actually sent you the coins. Legit air drops don't ask for your private keys. Usually they just ask you to send a small amount to them or sign a message then send it to them to confirm that the wallet is indeed yours. NEVER. GIVE. OUT. YOUR. PRIVATE KEYS. It's just like giving a hacker your social media account's password.
Just to be on the safe side it's enough not to give ANYBODY your private key or UTC / JSON file.
If that is ensured, you just can't loose any money.
To know if an airdrop is a good one, you should pay attention to the developer team, like for instance if they show themselves or not.
Another good indicator are many posts on the topic. If the official ann (announcement) thread has only 2 pages after some days, it's very likely it won't have success.
