Topic: Airdrop VS real success story - page 2. (Read 822 times)
Airdrops are a way for advertising new or existing coins, that alone can not make a success story for the developers .It entails more than that.There are a lot of questions to be answered before an airdrop is tagged successful. The rate the coin it is used or invested in the crpto network will say it all.
How many established coin/ token have really had real success story! I know of decred though. It was airdropped and it rise up to $50 ! It us arguabky one of the estblished altcoin! And there is a lots of reference to it from time to from crypto leaders!
I think it's not fair to rule out the chances to succeed of a project that airdropped it's tokens just because they gave it all for free. The real difference between a good project and a get-rich-quick scheme stands in its fundamentals, and I believe it's quite easy to spot which ones are trying to make a fortune on people's naivety and which ones are going for the extra mile.
DeepOnion is a very successful airdrop. Dev team not only ensures it's really hard for the same person to have multiple accounts but also is very active in development and creating new community ideas that pushes the project forward. It's only a 3 month old project and still many things to come.
At first it`s about awareness, and that works. You can`t expect a major success within one or two months/years. Btw ETH-Tokens must be called "totally premined" - a year or so ago noone would have touched such "coins".
The old Airdrop projects became successful because there was sincerrity then and the focus was on building something good, but most of the recent airdrops are scam, they have no tech to back up their project, it is just a pump and dump project
Well said, exactly what I was going to say. Though perhaps not enough time has passed yet to determine whether or not all these recent airdrops will amount to anything. If you had to judge on first impressions I would say things aren't looking good though.
Airdrop means free money as I google it . Is there any chance that companies that give or have free airdrop is a scam ? 
there are none of them and there will be noone,
because the real function of the airdrop is to collect the money for free.
what i mean is,they're distributing the token,coin but they kept some of it for them which is quite money.
let say you will be give it 95% from its total to people,
and 5% for the developer,
if you compare it 95% and 5%,indeed it's small.
but do your own math,how much total coin and how much it will be for the dev ?
with just all of his share,he can dump it to the ground.that is why all of them did not run well.
it's all about profit and easy money

It's too early to evaluate this.
I agree that most of the ERC20 clone airdrops (usually a one time thing) are scams.
But there are airdrops that have technical fundamentals in place and run over a long period of time (e.g. DeepOnion, ByteBall). Only time will tell how these projects develop after the distribution is completed.
+! for this. There most certainly are great airdrop projects, the past has proven that. But lot's of the eth tokens look like copycat scams.
We see more and more airdrops but ...
Has any of them been a real success story yet?
I mean listed on a major exchange, with a real product/service, a major technological innovation?

Yeah there were few that turned out to be a success but that happened way back, right now I have a big feeling that deeponion will turn out big but who knows. I guess you can say that only 2% out of 100% airdrop coins turned out to be successful.

Yea ,my friend made money from ecash and it was airdrop
yes it's a lot of airdrop out there, i joined all the airdrop, i received the token and there was also no received, i got 1 eth from the airdrop ecash, a little but not bad
Well Stellar Lumens was an airdrop - and it proved to be a huge success (mainly because they made real world deals with companies like IBM:

I don't think there was a success story by just joining airdrop, this was just free coins and who do you think will be successful with that? I would still prefer the coin coming from hardworking because that would give you success story.
There are two ongoing and very interesting airdrops I have been taking part. DeepOnion and PoSToken.
Deeponion is more established where dev team has shown tons of development, huge community and a great concept, big exchanges are still to come as they are part of the roadmap. Currently in the week round number 15 and still 25 more weeks to go.
PosToken is in its earlier stages and in the third airdrop round and as you can see by their very automatized airdrop platform they are very commited to the project and also roadmap and whitepaper looks great.
Both projects have more engaged teams and communities than many ICOs I have been part of.

Airdrops are free coins which are distributed to those who registered to their form. It can be their strategy to get some investors or maybe those coins are trial coins. I cannot say that it will be a successful one but there is no wrong on trying. Also, the airdrop coins can be a good coin, no one knows.
Some you don't even need to sign up for. They take snapshots of a blockchain and distribute to accounts based on certain criteria. I think these will have more of an impact when I can actually use the coin on it's respective platform. It's similar to getting coupons in the mail.
Example: SALT sends 1 SALT to a bunch of random addresses and then they get 1 year free of the basic membership.

There are none and that will probably persist till the end. What do you expect from some coin that gives free token to 2000+ participants, surely they cannot possibly control the market
bitcoin also did it, airdrop. when the first time its come, right?
Could anybody showed some really success airdrop cases?
