Topic: Are airdrops becoming more difficult? (Read 342 times)

Any airdrop or project team have the right to determine how and when they will distribute their tokens because they will do their best to protect the integrity of their investors and also to avoid the market price of their coin to dump drastically which is literally what all airdrop participants do once they recive their token allocation, and once they dump the coin, some of these coins find itr very hard to recover on time.

There is nothing bad with the team decision to delay distribution for one week after listing, it for their own benefit and for your own benefit as well; provided the team distributed to allocation they promised to give the community, then nothing is bad.

that is their hope after receiving the airdrop, which they sell because they want to know the nominal amount they get as soon as possible and that is a natural thing, with some things that need to be considered by taking advantage of the existing airdrop, the need to see the reputation of the airdrop is very important to know the journey in crypto commodities.

There are projects that I found that give their players a choice if they want their full allocation before TGE, they need to invest one of the game elements to do so, and after the TGE, they found that the value of what they paid was higher than the allocation they received.

If they are legitimate and will distribute fairly, I do not see any problem in their players waiting a week or having the payments distributed in stages. Imagine if all the airdrop owners, who could number in the millions and hold large amounts of tokens, sold on listing day. This extreme price volatility may threaten the continued survival of the coin on the CEX in which it was listed and cause investors who bought the coin at listing to lose their capital. But if you want the truth, today's projects have become challenging to profit from without investments and complex to list on exchanges. It is also difficult to find real projects with honest teams that do not want to exploit their communities and want to build a long-term project.

Either before listing or after listing people will still dump the coin and the amount of people that are intrested in holding are very few the rest are after what they will get from the airdrop and that is one the team to are sometimes looking for what will also favour them and another thing is that if their is no enough liquidity to go round, then their is no way that the price will not dump their is no way. And the issue of the price coming down is normal so that it will be able to blend with the market.

And another thing is that if you don't sell the price will eventually come down and the price might not rice again so people are always very conscious and make a quick decision wether to sell or not but the best advice I will give is for you to sell, and some might just list when they actually have enough liquidity so it's actually depends on what the team have at hand will determine the direction that they will go so it is very important to know airdrops thay you will participate in.

No need to consider airdrops to be even that much of a big part of crypto world. Back in the day new projects would just release their wallet, we would mine it a bit, and then big miners would come along, and that's how we started all the projects you see today, all those bitcoin, litecoin, eth, whatever were done that way. Before that, we had ICO times, stuff like BNB were sold, and we bought it, funded their project, and they got rich thanks to it, but we got it cheap, very cheap, compared to what it is today, for our trust and investment.

So long story short, "let me distribute some free worthless tokens for your retweet" isn't really what makes crypto world turn around, it's useless, and doesn't really cover anything at all, it will be gone soon.

Do we have members who are part of the Toonstation soon token platform? They just finished their snapshot, but many failed to complete the task in time because their Twitter task is not working. I have a friend who keeps trying the whole day until he stumbles on their form for people who cannot finish the task, but unfortunately, even though he submits all the information in the form several times, he ends up not getting the allocation, and to think that he even just got his allocation.
Toonstation is scamming its users by putting tasks that cannot be completed.

You have to keep in mind that these crypto projects running these Airdrop campaigns are also businesses backed by investors who naturally expect a return on investment not running a charity. Their budget are fixed regardless of if the users are 50,000 or 1,000,000. The problem with airdrops now is over saturation of farmers. Although it’s sad but we have to come to terms with the fact that 2020 and backwards airdrops is a thing of the past.

Honestly, I would feel the same in your situation. It’s worrying when projects don’t seem to prioritize their initial supporters, investors and community. I have been through something similar just recently with Telegram mini app Airdrops where I expected many of those airdrops to be claimable at listing only to have it delayed until later. By the time I could claim the price had dropped significantly and I missed the chance to make a decent profit even lost some money in few cases where I purchased things inside the Mini-App to upgrade my level in the game faster. It’s like the team doesn’t consider how timing affects us.
I’m sure your concern about the price after a week is true, it’s the same what happens inside my head each time they announce the listing date. The market can shift quickly especially with new tokens. Early buyers might sell off or the hype might fo away, leaving a lot of us stuck with lower prices.

This kind of thing makes me more cautious about getting involved in airdrops with the same way. If a team can’t organize something as simple as aligning the airdrop claim with the listing then it makes me question everything even their legitimacy.

What you should know about airdrop is that it's a reward given for performing some task, it could be retroactive airdrop where you will be ask to spend in doing task and in return you will be compensated back and it could be free task where nothing will be ask from you and reward you later. However, you are not in any position to bargain when and how they should pay you, they are the ones that are going to set the terms for you and it's either you accept the terms or you ignore.

They also have this habit of making distribution after listing, mostly it's for protection of the price and also to protect their investors. Normally, airdrop participants are very careless when it comes to selling coins, they dump their coins immediately on the market which usually kills the price of the coin, if the coin is bullish the price will run up again and if it's not, it will remain flat for long time and this is what teams fear about airdrop distribution, this is the main reason why airdrop distributions are delayed by the team.

I don't see anything to be disappointed about here because they may be a week late due to some technical problem or some work, so it's not like they left without giving you the token. You wait for a week, and hopefully, you will get the token and don't be disappointed with the market situation. Hopefully, you will be able to sell it at a good price. Wait patiently for a week, and then everyone will be officially given the token.

One thing about these airdrops now is that they are not only becoming more difficult but more unpredictable and unreliable. Plenty projects are launched with little or no solid plans on ground making them turn dust in the end. I wish we will have a way of filtering the reliable ones off the unreliable ones. Some people are already seeing these airdrops as scam projects even though they're necessarily not. This is because of some projects will collect some bucks from you by requesting that you make Ton transactions and will end up dusting after wasting your time and money in the project. This made alot of people conclude that these airdrops are not worth their time any longer.

Some airdrops have become difficult, that is, you need to spend time and also have some usd to burn.
The airdrop you receive may not be satisfactory or you may not get anything in return.
I have stopped chasing airdrops these days because I could not get the return I had in mind from the last airdrops I participated in.

Maybe you should quote the OP instead. I just explained the same thing on my post already. OP is the one with the complain here and not me.

Projects success could really be that basing up into the teams handling on which managing on how funds would flow and limiting out those dumping situation, but actually if we do really tend to look up about bounty
allocation specially on airdrops on which it is really that usually playing around 1-3% of overall supply then it is really that too hard to make the market dump to the floor. There are those dev's who do mind and give out importance into the community on which they do give out that whats belongs to them and also trying out to make everyone to end up on having that positive vibes and impressions towards the project. We do know that once that a certain coin or project will really be having that bad community impression or feedback then it will really be making up some huge impact in overall image on which it could lead up into dumped price.
Once the community would lose its trust then its most likely the project will fail.

In regarding about on becoming even more difficult then it is really that true or something which is really that requiring even more tasks for you to be able to be eligible. The most important thing that you do need up to consider is that on the time or moment that you do deal up with airdrops is that you do make involved with it with your extra time. Never ever make yourself dealing up with something
that will compromise your time and work.

There expectation to get sure profit from airdrop makes them get disappoint on the result they get. If they just accept the fact that there's no always happy ending with the airdrops they participate for sure they can accept those situations where there's instances that they get paid late or not getting any payments at all. Each project owners is different since there are scammers and those who reward the effort of their participants who contribute for certain success achieve by their project.

To many airdrop token didn't pay their participants and this is what these people need to consider. So instead of mocking up and feel bad about airdrops didn't pays them they should move on quickly and find another good project to participate since these scene is common thing happened in airdrops.

It's quite normal for the airdrop project to distribute coins/tokens after listing. The vast majority of users who receive airdrops dump the coin in the market. Projects that want to reduce this unnecessary sales pressure spread the distribution over time. As a result, if you received an airdrop it doesn't matter much when it's distributed. If there is an exchange listing where you can monetize it, that means you can get paid for your labor, whatever you did to get the airdrop. Many projects that promise airdrops either don't distribute, don't list on exchanges, or coins don't have any monetary value at all.

Many projects distribute tokens almost the same as listing, before 1 hour of listing airdrop participants can claim these tokens, many projects have such a mechanism.

So don't be surprised if it doesn't match what is expected because each project is different in its distribution, they have set rules so that tokens do not drop because usually airdrop participants will throw away their tokens when they claim them.

The logical argument would be just getting funding, because if they do get decent funding, and make a good amount of money, and lock the tokens for a while as well and only release part by part, they could use their funding to keep the price high enough.

Every time there is a new token, the price will go down a bit after release, most people will end up selling quickly, that's just how it is, but with pump coming, we could see most of them recover very quickly if it doesn't crash, and using funding to keep it afloat for a day would be enough. Some do this, and they end up making a great return, some fail of course because not everyone can succeed, but the idea itself isn't really a bad one. Keeping it at a decent level is a fine idea in the end.

back then, telegram's tap to earn was considered the best airdrop because it doesn't demand any money and in essence it's risk free.
people are trashing on retrodrop and protocol interaction requirement because it requires real money but now things has changed, protocol interaction yields more reward equal to effort and money spent while these telegram tap to earn are full of grifter devs that demands money, how table have turned and I agree. requiring to buy star or donate 0.2 ton is such a cheap move with zero guarantee whether the token will be worth the money it feels like a shady scheme.

They do but not for the airdrop folks.

You're not an investor and that's why they are more focused to the real ones and so if the reward is being delayed, don't be surprised because that's very usual in airdrops.

It's likely that the price will drop and the airdrop claimants will get little to nothing. Gladly, it didn't happened for me as far as I can remember.
