Hello. Yes, I agree with you. On all distributions in the telegram mini app, you get pennies. No one knows who will get how much in the end, it turns out to be little. The number of participants is inflated to infinity.

Therefore, there is another project that has existed since 2018 and unites the crypto industry with the film industry. Recently, this project launched mining and airdrop of a token, which is tied to a specific film project that is created through the AI ​​Movie algorithm developed by the company.

In this Telegram Mini App, everything is simple and you immediately see the amount in tokens that you receive and the main thing is that the number of participants is limited. You can get a token in the equivalent of $ 300 or more. If you are interested, join while you can.

You will find a link to the Telegram Mini App in the signature.

you can do the reverse process: what are the airdrops are not worth it?

Generally speaking, I would never expect more than 50 euros from an airdrop now.

In the past, it was enough to give a crypto address and receive them (for example Hydro - which reached over 1000 dollars).
Now they require a lot of activity, and time to be spent. They also require promotional activities. In short, everything is much more complicated.
Profits and losses are made on daily basis, what side are you on? We do everything to ensure we're having our good time in the system, knows the particular projects to indulge in and the ones to stay far clear off. We have taken decisions that we singlehandedly regrets after all these months and years, some of us bounce back to balance statue while some of us find it really hard to make a rebound. We have good numbers of airdrops in the system, we have no choice than to settled for the ones that are promising, we're talking about crypto projects that have been thoroughly examined and possess quite good roadmap.

Well we can not know if a airdrop is a legit one. Or if they are just getting information from us so they can spam us or worst try to scam us.
Like with the Hamster airdrop. I was a person that did think I could make some easy profit from that. But we all did not make alot of profit. It is not a scam it is legit. But not so big like they said it was going to be,

I just want to know what is the measure of a good airdrop? One of my bitcoiner friends once told me "consider every airdrop a scam until they're not". But I strongly believe that there must be some good measures for this issue as well.
What do you think?

Airdrops nowadays are like ICO you'll know if they're legit based on who are the people running the project and what they are going to bring to the community. There are so many Telegram airdrops now,  and you cannot be sure that they are all 100% legit.
Since this is the one trending now, expect scammers to create their own and cash out on people through ads they ask their users to do and they have an upgrade option for more rewards of their token, its better not to upgrade until you are sure that the project is legit

I’ve noticed the surge in airdrops lately, especially those mini-game ones, and they can be fun, but I always approach them with caution. I usually check the team behind the airdrop—if they’re anonymous or sketchy, I skip it. Also, if they ask for any kind of payment, that’s a huge red flag for me. I remember getting excited about a few airdrops that turned out to be duds, so I’ve learned to look for community feedback and do a bit of digging before jumping in. Trusting my gut has saved me a few times, and it helps to stay skeptical until something proves itself.

How do you classify an airdrop is legit?

1. Make you earn $50+
2. Only worth less than $2
3. Received the coins, but has no value.
4. Didn't receive the coins.

Most people call the airdrop is legit if the airdrop give big reward, but when they only receive less than $2 or no value, they will say the airdrop isn't legit even though the developer already distribute the airdrop.

I'd say the not legit airdrop is number 4, while most airdrop are either number 2-3 (technically airdrop is legit).
This is the correct answer. It doesn't matter if you get a lot of money in return or not, if they did distributed tokens like they said they would, then there is no shady work, because they kept their promise. Everyone wants 1, but if 2 or 3 happens that is still a legit airdrop and you do not consider that as fake.

Hamster Kombat for example is a legit airdrop, maybe you didn't make as much as you wanted to make, but you did make some money from it and that is all that matters, we can't consider this any differently, you have to realize this is good enough. I know we aren't in a hurry to work for others for a very small amount of money and that makes people worry about things but we need to realize that things will be fine and legit even if we make nothing as long as they do what they say they will do.

You're friend is telling the truth and he must have said out of his own and other people's experience, like ICO. airdrops are like a box of chocolate; you never know what you're going to get, but there are airdrops that deserve a look and have been proven to have potential, tokens and coins longevity and acceptance by the community depends on usage and what it can bring to the community.
If the airdrop is just a token like memes who have nothing to offer but are just memes, expect it to lose values, they thrive on shills and made for pump and dump.

is actually good advice, especially since there are many airdrops that are designed for suspicious purposes, such as harvesting personal data or even asking for payment to gain better access. An airdrop is essentially a way a blockchain or crypto project distributes free tokens to the community or potential users, usually for promotional purposes. However, currently there are many fake airdrops that take advantage of people's desire to get free profits
It's a shame and I totally agree with what you said that airdrops are actually given for free to those who are interested, because it is indeed a means for promotion. But currently, it is used to seek profit by doing a lot of work that must be done, and not a few even ask for payment on the grounds of gas, and there are many ways to attract people but in the end it is disappointment that can result from what is done.

An airdrop that is legit doesn't ask you to deposit or send funds to a wallet address. Legit airdrops onyl require you to complete some easy task like follow twitter, repost and more. If you found an airdrop that requires you to spend money then it is a scam. Do be very careful as some scam projects aren't really legit although it may look like a real one or a legit one but it wasn't. That's the hard part to know if it's legit or not.

Same here, I see every airdrop as a scam untill they have listed there price and I don't do airdrop like it's my personal job I do airdrop at my leisure time and sometimes even at my leisure time I don't because I'm not sure of the outcome and scam airdrop are not always written on their page or whatever until they have gotten what they want or need and ran, what I'm saying in essence is that you can't easily fish out scam airdrop and even some of those airdrop that ask participants to do transaction before they can be eligible for some..., some of them are legit while some are scam but I will advise you stay away from those airdrop that request for transaction unless you can afford to take the risk and the funny thing I have seen and observed about legit airdrop is that they don't make noise and they don't too stress their participants.

It is true that it is difficult to distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate airdrops, although learning from experience it is difficult to distinguish between them, because the development of the era and technology which may be much more advanced, so that fraud in airdrops that is carried out is more difficult to detect as if it looks legitimate.

distinguishing between legitimate and illegitimate airdrops is as easy as knowing who backed the project, if the project is invested by high tier venture capital, you can almost be sure it will never scam, a project backed by binance labs or coinbase venture aren't gonna scam anyone. although it also means you're playing the VC game, but it's certainly better than risking your money in some nobody project with high risk of rug pull or scam.

so far there has been plenty of project being supported by these big investors already, try to look at dropstab's funding round page you will find many projects that recently raised some money from VC and angels.

While it's easy to see the obvious scam ones, it's very hard to find legit ones among all the ones that look legit but scams. I know that it is going to be very tough to handle all of this because we are going to have trouble finding something decent. Even the legit ones could fail too, so success is not something that is going to happen that easily, we are going to end up with a result that will not be all that simple and we could end up with some trouble on the long run as well.

We need to figure out a way to see this getting any type of good result, and we need to make this work somehow as well. I believe that we are going to see this changing eventually, and it is going to end up being a little bit of a trouble in the end as well.

To be honest, it's hard to say if an airdrop is legit or will it make it big or not.
But we can surely identify the obvious scams as airdrops are meant to distribute coins/tokens for free.
If any airdrop is asking for any payment then it's probably a scam.
Projects which have a good experienced and dedicated team with an unique idea are likely to make it big.
So if you find any such projects giving out airdrops then you get into it.

Nothing lasts forever
In recent months, I saw a lot of new airdrops, mostly on Telegram platform. A lot of them are harmless "tap to mine" games which can be trusted (in my personal opinion). Some of them were basically giving away tokens based on your accounts age (like Dogs).
I know when these airdrops are around, they make a hype. One of my friends sent me 15 invite links the other day (and honestly, I still haven't clicked on the links) and most of them are basically these mini games. But I also saw some airdrops asking people to pay them little amounts of TON or Tron, in order to put them in a better place in a leaderboard. It seems somehow suspicious. I just want to know what is the measure of a good airdrop? One of my bitcoiner friends once told me "consider every airdrop a scam until they're not". But I strongly believe that there must be some good measures for this issue as well.

I want to say first, airdrop is free. The bull market will start in 2025, and most telegram mini games are currently running. Although few projects are paying off so far. OP As you say many projects are asked to do ton transactions. Yes, it is true that they ask for transaction in almost all free projects, but it is not mandatory. If you feel like it you will, and if you don't want to don't. I think no money should be spent on freebies. If you spend money on it, you get some more rewards.
just be sure to filter out for those grifter project asking 0.5 TON or more to finish the task though, most of the freebies project despite also have optional task to do TON transaction still put boundary where they only require a transaction and not require the money.
but if they demand the money however, big fat chance they just trying to profit off people. so I don't think that's a good project, but since it's optional anyway, just don't finish this one task only to avoid getting milked by the devs then things will be fine.

yes, I see most airdrops are like that, it takes broad insight and understanding about this airdrop, so that all the obtained will be easier, without having to pay a certain amount, with the presence of airdrops of course it becomes an option to find airdrops that really giving gifts for us to always visit.

Well, that's true. sometimes because of the small payout, people feel that the airdrop is not good. However, there are so many airdrops like that, which give small payouts, even Hamster is also indicated like that. However, I also feel that the airdrops that are not legit are the ones that don't pay and are scams. We never know the results of the airdrops we work on, and also how many coins we will get. However, as long as it pays and has value, I think it's a legit airdrop. especially if the airdrop is really listed in a big CEX.

There are also many indicators of what is considered a "scam" or not, but HK did allocate a small portion of their drop for everybody, simply because of the sheer volume of users and account farms it had.
There is value in it, but it's small due to the nature of the project and its community (the force and amount behind it).
The era of projects that get you good drops almost on a whim during the Bull market is gone, now more effort is needed to even find the project that could potentially be a gem.
