AirDrop would be cool enough if only your team would be able to afford that and won’t get affected negatively in any way. Bounty campaign is cool too to create much awareness all through the social media and the forum. My only concern now is if greediness won’t take over the mind of Dev team too after the distribution.

Here are two successful examples of airdrop:

Rebellious (REBL): https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annbounty-official-thread-rebellious-rebl-bounty-rewards-2370176
Project Hydro (HYDRO): https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-hydro-security-identity-on-the-blockchain-2778123

They have built a strong community through airdrop. A good community is very important in the crypto world. They will help promote the coin and vote to get listed on some exchanges for free.

Best wishes to you guys!

i think today airdrops and bounty are obligatory. It's an advertisement in the world of cryptomaniaks, and if you really pay for it - you'll get a good auditory

Your comments, feedback, thoughts e.t.c are very must appreciated. Aegis Platform is funding all its development. Check out our whitepaper at www.aegissmartcontracts.com. So we don't need to do an ICO, but would like to distribute our coins far and wide. We have looked into some options for how to do this and these have come up: do several airdrops, run a marketing bounty and distribute coins to participants after a certain period of time, get people to pre-pay for subscription on our platform (please add any other options below, with example if possible). So what do you guys think? Airdrops look straightforward, but they also have a bad reputation of being scams. Really really appreciate your thoughts.

All people will surely say that you will execute an airdrop since they surely want free tokens and free money but can your team stand to give a huge portion of your tokens the the community? do you have funds to cover up the exchange listing cost and other things to bump up your coin? then maybe you should scale that so that a great success will be earn by you and to your team.

Very good point, to get on any of the top exchanges can cost a lot to say the least!  So it may be a good idea to start with etherdelta, cryptopia, yobit and others were you can get a free or cheap listing whilst you build up trade volume

If you'd like to plan airdrop, you may raise the bar to prevent multiple accounts from one person. For example, it requires an bitcointalk account and a github account at least three months old, an ETH address with at least three transactions and non-zero balance, and so on.

if you do airdrop that is cool, many people will like to invest if the coin has value in market, at the end of the day you will get alots of sales,

If you are well confident that you can developed  your project or platform without funds from investors then go ahead but i suggest do bounty campaigns. Airdrops especially self airdrops tends to give free money to those people who are using multiple wallet. As long as you are active and true to your roadmap nothing to worry as time goes by the project will reveal it's true potential.

I also think that bounty campaign plus community airdrop is the best way to distribute coins if you won't have an ICO. To avoid multiple accounts, you can make a few requirements for participants to get airdrop, like link their twitter, facebook and bitcointalk accounts.

Any well managed, successful Airdrops you would suggest that we check out and learn from?

I would suggest to check Rebellious airdrop from the end of last year, because IMO they did it the best possible way and create loyal community.

Yes it is the best way to distribute coins the bounty campaign plus community airdrops. Well for me we can do both.

airdrops is one of the worst ways of distributing a coin. it basically is giving away free money to a bunch of lazy people with nothing better to do other than claiming these coins every day and dumping them on the market to get the real money out!

When startup holds its own airdrop it works like a sort of avertisment. People get free coins and they get interested in it, especially if it gets some value in $.

quite the contrary.
people who claim these coins are only interested in it because of the $$$ value and because they can get real $$$ out of it. they don't care at all about the project itself. 99% of them don't even know what the coin is or does.
you are giving them free money! who is going to ask what that free money is? they just are happy they earned something that day while sitting in their underwear Wink

Any thoughts on how we can make people earn the coins, other than paying for them? Would it be better to distribute coins through a bounty program only, instead of an airdrop?

Why not?
So many project with no ico just airdrop are successful
But you need to filter the person who joined
You need good project on the future to make who got the coin still hold it and not dump it
It's my opinion

Well i had seen some coins with their own forums. And from the looks of it they have a good trust rate and good spread of coins. But off course you have to invest more because it would start as free then and you will earn more by miners or some sort of services. Deeponion was one of them who gave airdrop with the conditions that your wallet should have at least minimal amount of there coin. Another would be the Quark coins.

This.

If you can pull off the airdrop well enough you'll be attracting more people. Nowadays there are a lot of crappy airdrops so what's important is to stand out.

If you manage to do that, go for it. Additionally, you can do both, airdrops and campaigns.

You could do both for airdrop and Bounty. You could make an announcement for airdrop and fund it with small percentage of the supply and you could do a Bounty campaign for making your project around the social medias. If you are not going to do and ICO then do Bounty campaign. It is proven that Bounty campaigns really help a project gets around people. Also be careful when you are going to do an airdrop. People tend to have multiple accounts to participate in that.

Any way of preventing multiple accounts? That's a real thorn. I have seen some projects ask for a small ETH donation for people to participate in the airdrop, but that may end up looking like a scam to potential participants, no?
