NetM airdrop

Can you imagine taking part in an airdrop like BTC? I am very pleased with the outcome of BCH so far!

Byteball changed the rules of the game:

                        for byteball "After August 7 we'll reach more than 50% distributed coins and will start a new phase of our distribution.
It was stated from day one that the purpose of this distribution is to get this coin into the hands of as many people as possible.  Both coins (bytes and blackbytes) are meant to be used as currencies, and this is only possible when there are many users and apps to interact with.  We already have a sizable community, a number of unique apps, and we are the only crypto project to have an app distribution platform (the Bot Store), but there is still a lot of room to grow in terms of user count, number of apps, and willingness of users to use these apps.
Up until now, we were distributing only to holders of BTC and Bytes, i.e. we were rewarding holding.  Now we are adding actual users into the mix, i.e. we are going to reward transactions.
To get you an idea of how we are going to do it, we are going to partner with several categories of companies:
- merchants
- payment processors
- "Bitcoin debit card" companies
and offer 10% cashback, paid in Bytes, for all qualifying purchases (no matter how the purchases are paid).  The cashback will be funded from the undistributed pool.  For example, a customer who bought for $100 receives $10 cashback in Bytes, paid to his Byteball address, at the current exchange rate.  For merchants, this is something that would drive sales and they would put effort into promoting the offer.  In competitive industries, a 10% cashback is a very powerful tool to lure customers.  For customers, this is a 10% discount (which matters a lot in some industries).  For Byteball, it is new users who will have to get involved into the system in order to receive the cashback.
A few companies have already expressed interest (not disclosing the names while it is a work in progress).
A few extensions of this offer:
- 20% cashback if the purchase is paid in bytes or blackbytes.  This would incentivize merchants to start accepting bytes and blackbytes, and the infrastructure will stay after the distribution ends.
- merchants can offer additional cashback to their customers.  Merchants fund it themselves by buying bytes from the market, and for every 1% funded by the merchant we add 1% more from the undistributed pool.
If you see similarity with existing loyalty points schemes, it is similar indeed.
At a minimum, we receive many new users who learn about Byteball from their merchants, plus working payment integrations.  And the users are not just crypto fans, it may be their first crypto coin for many users.  With the most user friendly wallet in the industry, we are in the best position to expand beyond the crypto village.
We can continue adding 10-20% to existing byte balances to incentivize keeping the received bytes before more infrastructure is built, rather than cashing out immediately. 
Two negative sides:
- the scheme is less transparent than plain adding on top of existing balances, and some share of fraud is inevitable.  Merchants might try to deceive us to receive coins for themselves by reporting nonexistent sales or selling to themselves.  This is mitigated by good choice of trustworthy merchants and our ability to disconnect any merchant at any time on suspicion of fraud.  Their customers can also try to find ways to abuse the system, again we'll require the merchants to prevent that by excluding some types of purchases, monitoring customers, enforcing caps, etc.  Additionally, if the merchant funds part of the cashback himself, he has skin in the game to counter the customer fraud.
- these new users are not holders for the most part, they are more likely to sell.  Not a big problem, the point is they already know about Byteball and it's easy for them to get back.  The new users are new to crypto, many of them won't use exchanges, and somebody will have to create new easier-to-use channels to fiat, which is positive for liquidity.  Also, 10%-20% monthly distributions discourage fast selling while the distribution is ongoing.  And lastly, the merchants who fund 50% of the cashback would partially balance the markets by buying coins.
On balance, I'm sure that these negatives are tolerable when we are going to achieve a vast expansion of our user base and acceptance at merchants.
For the current distribution round, nothing changes.
For the next distribution on September 6, we are changing the ratios in favor of Byte holders and slowing down the distribution to have more time to build out the cashback program:
BTC to Bytes: every 160 BTC gives you 1 GB from the distribution (or 0.00625 GB per BTC).
Bytes to Bytes: every 10 GB of existing balance gives you additional 1 GB from the distribution (in other words, +10% to existing balances).
Similar ratios for blackbytes.
For those who receive their first bytes from cashbacks, Sep 6 will be the first distribution when they receive +10%.
I'll make announcements as we add merchants in the cashback program."

OmiseGo will drop free OMG token to every address on the Ethereum blockchain that held a balance over a minimum threshold of 0.1 ETH at a recent past block height (TBA soon): https://twitter.com/CryptoAirdrops/status/894624987755290625

That is correct. Airdrops seldom happen. Some airdrops are not that free because they require some tasks. Some even requires signature wearing and posting. For others, wallets should be downloaded first. It is better to focus on building the account here on BCT.

Hi you just have to work towards building your account rank..no other way..

thanks everyone for the constant updates; really one of the best threads to follow in this forum
too many many of the airdrops require this and that
Best of the airdrops currently would be Byteball's that is happening tomorrow, Aug 7, 2017 at 18:10 UTC

see the countdown directly here: https://byteball.org/

ok,share a new airdrop!
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2068554.new#new
good luck 

Byteball is tomorrow guys! Dont forget

Isn't the best airdrop (Bitcoin Cash) just happen like a few days ago?   Watch out Gbyte in next few day  

stellar lumens also, and another one is this new coin, called lysergion https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1925470.140

You can participate in Byteball and BTX both - they are not mutually exclusive.  You can also do Deeponion (though that requires you to maintain a signature campaign).

Can you provide a press release from Apple (not ICO promoters) stating they are behind WCX?  I am very....skeptical...this seems very unlikely to me, and  such claims are a red flag in my eyes.

I know ByteBall and DeepOnion are altcoin have airdrop in current, special ByteBall you can trading on Bittrex Exchange and it distribute every month. About DeepOnion I remember it distribute every week.

I question please if you can help.

I have signed for Byteball and waiting for the coins.
Can i sign a message to get BTX too, without loosing to get my Byteball ?

Thanks

Biggest airdrop of all times was the Bitcoin Cash thing. I think we got enough that time to wait for at least a year, or maybe even more. The time needed I think to see Bitcoin Unlimited coming back ...

is the term 'airdrop' closely associated to the term 'bounty hunting' if not what are the difference?

It's not the best airdrop per say but its something different. The pay kinda sucks but like I said it's something different.  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-clustertoken-first-smart-contract-airdrop-completed-2060469

Thanks.
I meant a coin which can Newbies get in airdrop. I checked out the BTX. Seems OK.
Thanks so far.
