Bounty hunting seems dead in Bitcointalk. Are there members still making money via airdrops?

Airdrops have become more like a gambling there is no assurance of payments perhaps it is optional for anyone to participate in airdrops. However, there are lots of airdrops and to be specific am participating in the hamster combat and hopefully it is going to be launched any time soon as news may have it , participants are getting ready to see what will be the outcome of it if is going to be like the notcoin payment that went vaira lately, where a lot of people got benefited although some people doubted it but it came out successful.

The only problem with these games is you need to be active and follow their own criteria to be eligible on the Airdrop just like what I did on Pixelverse I just wasted my time playing their game and ended up with zero Pixfi to claim which is very unfair because new players seems got their airdrop but mine even I play the game for long I didn't receive any single airdrop.

the way the whole airdrop thing is programmed is only favourable for people that don't have a serious thing that's going on with them and are ready to give in all thier time into the airdrop thing. The kind of attention and content you need to give to doing a particular airdrop far surpasses the profitability that comes with it and that's one thing that discourages me about being consistent with Airdrops.

Quote from: BitMaxz on July 20, 2024, 01:54:41 PM

So if you are planning to take any airdrop make sure to be active and follow what criteria they announce to be eligible.

like seriously, the criteria are even made such that by the time you're done doing them you've almost lost far more than what you stand to gain and just give up on it. Maybe those that are starting up in the crypto space could start up with Airdrops but when you've grown in the crypto space and matters of security and the way you use your time becomes a serious thing to you, I don't think it's right to be hunting after airdrops that much.

Yeah, I agree I'm just too dumb to be serious about them because I remember the captcha typing where the airdrop is based on the captcha you solved and shared I think every few hours you can earn Raiblocks that is an easy way to get the airdrop and you can instantly see the coin in your wallet unlike these promising tokens that until now like hamster Kombat no token generation event and now they announce of delay and the only reasons why they postponed it's because of Bitcoin price declines recently and they are now planning to do what Notcoin do waiting for bullish trend before they are going to list the token they said they need to do it because of the huge amount of players and obvious these players are going to sell once the reward are distributed they don't want to do it right now due to a large amount of seller than demand.

That is why we don't need to focus so much about Airdrop only few of them would give you chance to be rewarded and some of them are always abandoned project or they take advantage of you for their own benefits.

Nothing that was free can become really valuable in my opinion

Nah, that's not true. If you got lucky on the airdrops and bounties, you can make a really valuable amounts of money from them. I think they can still be considered to, as free because some of them doesn't require us to deposit some money or cryptos first. There are some who does that but it was still optional and they might still offer a better reward than the free ones.

This is why programs like these can still get a lot of demand from the public. It can only be the same as investing, trading and other paid earning opportunities out there. Aside from them, there are also faucet sites. They might give tiny amounts but if we can HODL them for a long period of time and we can get lucky that the cryptos that we hold have pumped up, that can also give us a fortune.

If you are someone who doesnt been able to experience on making money with airdrops and bounties then you would really be definitely be saying this one. If there would really be no probability
of making money with this, then we wont really be seeing any airdropers and bounty hunters in the first place, but if we do really look around then there are really tons of people who do still love on
engaging with airdrops and bounties because they do know that they could really be having a shot on making some money and if lucky then it would really be something significant. This is why
we are really that still seeing those people who are really that interested on dealing up with airdrops but for me then it would really be somehting that be on selective manner specially if its something
which do really looks interesting and having some sort of hype.

We do still see several projects who do make out some good amount airdrops on which those people who are engaged or involved into it, did really make some nasty from free coins.
Somehow, we are seeing some bounty tasks nowadays needs up to spend some money specially on providing liquidity and transaction volume on which this is something
that very common into some projects.

I would add that it definitely became harder to get a good drop for yourself, even having lots of accounts and some insights. But it doesn't mean you can't try and have fun and profit doing it, it just became more demanding, thus people are losing some hope in it.

There is also a way to farm the airdrops with your own net of accounts in order to increase that exact percent that would pass main criteria, but then again, not everybody (especially newbies) would be going into such extent for the drop that may still be allocated poorly.

Hahaha...that aggressive way of pushing people to do some bidding? I don't like it. Well, just like we see today on the internet, airdrops are still happening, but you may want to rely on luck most times, too many lies are out there, and they are only using people to gain relevance for their marketing purposes.

Airdrop was at its best when cryptocurrency was newly introduced, and of course, some are still scaling through. You can imagine the recent Notcoin airdrop and this month's PIXFI. They are good ones among the many failed and scam ones. There is no way such like them will not continue to happen amid the ugly trend of fake airdrop promises, it's you who will decide whether or not you are in for the stress and the uncertainty.

Yeah, Notcoin set up the standard that not many projects can reach (or even try to do it). I hope to see PIXFI allocate their drop fairly for the community.
Even if it became a bit harder to get something out of airdrops, it doesn't mean you can't try and succeed.

Only people participating in Airdrops can answer this question, but bounties are still live just that they don’t pay much as they used to pay before.

Recently, Telegram based tokens Not coin awarded a lot of people their coin which went viral few months back which also yields more telegram bases airdrops that some of them might end up as a scam.
There is no certainty in airdrops, but they can still pay you some money; although they don’t worth attention anymore.

It seems like the airdrop is to increase the use of crypto among various users so to know more about it and from the purpose of the airdrop itself, to increase awareness and circulation of new tokens or coins in terms of their usefulness based on those who express interest in the airdrop and hoping to win the lottery, if you plan To take the airdrop, make sure you are active and follow what they announce in order to fulfill the conditions they want to get the prize, even though there is no certainty in the airdrop, at least there is a chance that will lead to it.

Yes, agree! There are too many projects in recent times to get into all of them for the sake of airdrop only (especially on the TON chain), however, if you do start it, make sure you put your effort into it, as it can bring good rewards if the project is trustworthy. However, the details can be unclean, the tokenomics can be bad, and the allocation afterwards can feel unfair, and that would be totally okay!

Of course! There are lots of opportunities on TON chain currently, however, I must admit that the whole process has become a bit more demanding, both for new users and people with farms alike.

IMO, I would say that some airdrops nowadays are just worthless and we know that telegram mining apps just popping out of nowhere and milking people to buy stars or TON and to get more airdrop tokens which I think they will just do an exit scam which people cannot do anything on it.

It's really hard to know if the airdrop is legit and it needs to waste your time first before you will know if their tokens will be on exchange and how many you will be getting.

telegram mining app is just masive waste of time, this is one I agreed Grin

, just for example, $DOGS where we need to buy stars to get additional DOGS, doesn't seem a good deal to me, since people could just get it for free old telegram account.

other than that Hamster Kombat, like many has elaborated, literally farming on their users delaying TGE so that they can make their users watch their youtube for ads revenue and mind you every video they pumped has at least millions of view despite the video just full of recycled news with AI voiced narrator!

You certainly won't see much here though. I'd say go to X and some big crypto discord groups. They usually have a lot of news for projects with big airdrops.

just be careful with some posts in X though so many of them are just farming for followers and their guides to airdrop sometime link to harmful sites that could steal all our money.
always better to ask discord and get answer from the team themselves.

Airdrops can still be worthwhile. While some offer genuine opportunities (playk8.io), many have become marketing gimmicks. Due diligence is crucial before participating.

Bounty hunting is different from airdrops, but you can say that both have similarities like you need to promote them on various social media platforms in order to get "PAID" or you need to do certain tasks for you to "RECEIVE" tokens.

Take note that I capitalize the term "paid" and "receive" because I want to say that the reward that you can get by participating in these 2 are most likely not worth especially in bounty hunting. I don't want to say that it's dead already since there are some new projects that are launching their bounty campaign here, but for me and for most here, it isn't worth the time. As for airdrops, nowadays if you want to get a huge number of tokens, you need to invest huge amount of money into their project. That's how airdrops are right now unlike in the past that you'll just need to put your wallet address and you're good to go.

I tried joining airdrops this year, and for me, it isn't worth it unless you have a huge amount of money to invest. Is it worthwhile? Yes, if you have huge amount of money, but aside from that, no it isn't

Bitcointalk platform isn't the only platform which participants goes in hunting on bounties. Perhaps aside bitcointalk platform, these airdrop projects are also run in the telegram including discord Twitter and there're actually seasons when these airdrop projects are dominance or trending so if you don't find an expected airdrop project here, it's either the managers prefers to run it at other platforms or the project has ended because airdrop isn't endless projects.

Agreed 100% there are many telegram groups and channels that get their own exclusive deals, most I dont really see on Bitcointalk.

We're working on a new type of airdrop, I think the original way is still good, but you have to get lucky, because everyone can join it and then each person gets very little for their efforts.

The only way airdrops will stay profitable for small time farmers is if they sybil the fuck out of non-liquidity based airdrops. If it's based on liquidity value then whales win but if it is based on retroactiveness and activity, sybil win. The only way it has been profitable for anyone lately is if they sybiled or put a shit ton of money in a tokenless protocol because there is just too much dilution available in the space right now. There are no big drops anymore because the dilution happening right now is insane.

couldn't agree more with this.

most of the airdrops are diluted, the non liquidity based are fully infested with botters to the point that there are so many addresses interacting with protocol 24/7 as if the owner of the address never sleep Grin

.
the competition is crazy, the average people will not get big reward like before.

I think it will get better once people realize it is too diluted to not be just a waste of time and they dipped the airdrop space, sort of great reset for airdrop.

The leaderboard will be full of whales with millions of points because they are risking big money for liquidity, we know Justin Sun is still hunting with airdrops by spreading ETH rules on various protocols.
As small people we will be mired, because small capital = small points so don't expect too much the farmers are now smart to do a safer sybil.
I remember the CEO of memeland farming on zksynch and getting more tokens, so we only rely on freebies that are not much and then the tokens are vesting.
