As you know there are various airdrop running everyday but i think 99% airdrops are scams and should not join and i suggest don't waste time on airdrops and don't share your keys or any other data they can hack your pc or wallet .

I don't think it reaches 99%
I also realized that a lot of airdrop deception, but from the amount of airdrop, certainly not all airdrop is trash. There must be at least something good and it all depends on which way you select airdrop that can pay or not.

The way they usually work is they give you some string and you sign it to prove you own the address.

Could a malicious air drop make a transaction sending all your BTC to them, and then you sign it, and then they broadcast it to the network?
Or is signing a message different than signing a transaction?

I think airdrop is not a consideration my own, lots of airdrops just are fake, but they still did not take me too much time to do, and did not get much from me also, my information is not that important, maybe one day, they'll sent you an email that you sign in on an airdrop few months ago, to me, that's not a big problem. Still have a chance to get more, I'll take it

I have now avoided Airdrop, because right now I am not getting a good profit from it, so I better avoid it and look for a Bounty campaign for now, Airdrop is safe, but not profitable for me.

you are right, now i also see airdrop can not give us an advantage.
i think it will only waste our time, indeed some airdrop are still profitable. but it is very difficult to find a good airdrop.

so i thought, your idea is very good for avoiding airdrop. indeed, it's better for us to become bounty hunters.

But airdrop is free, our task is simple sometimes only follow their social media account then fill the form after that wait until team send the token to our wallet. avoid all airdrop which instructs send first

airdrops are secure unless you provide your confidential information. but you should not participate in these airdrops if it asks for your confidential information. this makes it safer for you

I didn´t see any airdrop that tries to steal your Bitcoins. But more and more airdrops required ETH private keys to "verify" the account owner. And many people see only profits and forgot about safety rules. Roll Eyes

If you see anyone asks for private keys, shut them down and report them here or on any other place, people should know it`s a scam. Airdrops are safe, as long as they don`t ask for too much info. I don`t do KYC for airdrops, I don`t give my private keys to anyone, and I can say I never had a problem with any airdrop. People should be careful with private information not just when they participate in airdrops, it works for everything you do on the internet. Keep your info safe, and your funds will be safe too.

You are working on the Internet should understand that there is nothing safe here. No one knows what new scheme will come up with cheaters. Therefore, all KYC passes and other actions with drops should be carried out neatly.

I have participated a lot of airdrop and for me its safe just dont fell for does forms that are asking for your private keys

it is true and it is also very easy to do without complicated things like the others, but the problem is only the value that does not contribute, so I have not been interested.

I don't think they will spread our information online, they will sell it to businesses that need our information or worse, sell it to terrorists.
So be careful with such airdrop types and stop providing your personal information when you only get a few dollars.

No dream is too big and no dreamer is too small

I did airdrops participation before but it is sad that nothing had come into my wallet. Well, that is obviously a scam project and I have nothing complaint.
So I suggest, never indulge in airdrops not just a waste of time but considering some instances that they are asking KYC upon registration( some), you'll just be risking your personal details. Just be careful.

I think it's safe, but be careful with the airdrop scam. where you are told by Kyc, you send your data data, but they don't give the reward you should get. maybe that's all I can explain about airdrop which is very risky for scams.

That's the main reason I avoid most of the KYC related airdrops (not all though). The rewards are usually small it's not worth it to send our valuable data for merely pocket change. I also heard some bad projects also sells those data illegally.

Personally, I always did not understand the meaning of AIRDROP - to force an artificial interest in a project ... It would be better to use bounty, where smart people will reveal interesting aspects of a project! These investments can pay off.

I have paused participating in airdrops for a while. Because I end up receiving shit coins which never get listed. Some would even make it a form of contest and ask you to purchase their tokens to earn more points

This is the reality, and about a question of airdrops are safe, well it is safe as long you never give some personal info and they are not requiring you to give money then it is safe. But in my joining experienced with airdrops i never signed anything. They required you to sign up but never sign transactions.

The question of if one airdrop is safe or not shouldn't a hotcake everyone should start wasting time on.. Definitely an airdrop asking to send Btc or Eth to receive a large percentage of their tokens should be handled with one's discretion.

If you're just signing up and doing such tasks without downloading any malicious software/files/other stuffs then there's no way they can acess your BTC. In terms of your privacy issue ie. they are requiring you to input your address, then think about it twice. Nothing can hack or scam you if your informations are secured and protected well.

airdrop is safe if you don't ask Kyc or ask for your wallet address key,
kyc in my opinion is very sensitive, it means not to be careless, because if you use it carelessly it can be misused, that's why avoiding airdrop KYC is needed so that we are safe.
pay, this is one of the things that must be avoided too, airdrop aims to make the project accepted in the wider community, but if it is opened it is a little funny in my opinion.
run it so that the airdrop that we follow is safe.
