Topic: Are airdrops safe? - page 18. (Read 9479 times)
Now airdrop doesn't pay much, some are safe and some aren't, now airdop's situation is similar to that of a bounty
Airdrops are safe and at the same time some poses risks. There are airdrop that requires simple Google form or certian bot activities, this type is safe though while there are some that will require visiting myetherwallet to perform an activity etc, this type is highly dangerous as it is phishing.
Signin is only for validating owner ship, i think its safe, and not make your funds in danger, but if the airdrop asking you to send amount of coin or asking you to write your private key you absolutely should avoid it, because its total scam
There are airdrops that require KYC procedure they request your personal data and even photos. But that airdrop requested private keys, I have not seen.
There are airdrops that want you to sign a message with an address where you're holding other coins. Some want you to assign your name and email address to your bitcoin wallet and prove that you own bitcoins or something else like ETH.
Of course no airdrop should ask for private keys. This would be a red flag.
The airdrops are safe. But there are so many scammers use airdrops for steal users private keys, KYC documents etc. Then you have to be safe with airdrops. Don't give your private keys to airdrops. The next thing is doing your own research about the project before give your KYC documents to any airdrop.
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?
How could that possible as far as i know each wallet has own security applied. if that happen through airdrop it means that they have your private keys to import your account and send all your btc to them. thats why be careful and take extra precaution while dealing some airdrops although that some airdrop are legitimate and safe we cannot change the fact that some are shady and fraud.

They are safe provided that they are not going to ask you to download anything ask your private key and do KYC I only participate on a bounty campaign that ask me to follow all their social media sites and promote their airdrop other than that I won't agree.

I thought airdrops before were quite safe, except before that airdrops somehow required KYC, I didn't feel excited. Because airdrops have a very small number of tokens, you have to spend a lot of time verifying identity, which is not necessary
Generally airdrops are safe, you are not doing more as subscribing to social media and filling a google form, so it cannot harm your data. However, you will get tons of spam emails, but this is the worst damage you can get by taking part in airdrop campaigns.
Yeah I think, usually we only add our address to receive the token and doing some simple task like follow Facebook Twitter and looking for referrals. No need to worry asking as you dont give your private key.
And just wait for the token landed on your wallet

Although it has been long I had anything to do with airdrops but I have not seen anyone requesting users to sign their address. But however, I have seen many asking for private keys or directing users to a phishing website.
I think the days of airdrop is over as they hardly amount to anything good.

Airdrop safe but not profitable. I passed hundreds of airdrops and earned a lot of coins that cost nothing. Do not send money to any airdrop, do not give your personal data, private keys and passwords. Your MEW Wallet address can give. It's safe.
Nowadays most of airdrops have almost no value at all.
Some of them are a scam, so open your eyes wide if you join any of them.

I'm done with airdrops because I've joined many any one very few pays out in pennies,you will be lucky to make 50$ from airdrop this days,the glorious days of airdrop is officially over
Some airdrops are legit but a lots of them are just scams and just collecting some private information, be careful about asking those private keys in the airdrop forms as they are 100% scams. Been in the industry for many years now, and i am so very careful about joining this airdrops because some of them are just scammers who are trying their best to victimized those who are unaware of the situations, spreading awareness is the most important thing now.

we have to be aware of airdrops because there are a lot of cheats there, on behalf of the bounty even though it's only a list, and there are also real ones who don't cheat even the results are very satisfying to the bounty hunter. and it can't be done, for that we read what it means and its purpose, but for now it can still be controlled and can be relied upon. But we don't give it the key to the private key.
any airdrop that asks for your private keys or passwords is an immediate RED FLAG! Just use your common sense and you'll be safe most of the time. Most people in crypto are victims of their own mistakes.

Not all airdrops are safe and as long as it's not asking our priv key and it can be considered as a safe airdrop. we are joining in the bad airdrop but those people have joined in decred airdrop or ontology earn thousand dollars of money. this time airdrop is dead.
you can join, when you sign up for airdrop that is should be free, nothing wrong with free token, but be careful with the data that you provided and don't simply give your private key
