Topic: Receive Airdrop by sending 0 Ether? (Read 498 times)
At your place I would avoid those things. Because if you have a lack of knowledge about what is going on there is a really big chance to get scammed and lost your money. Be aware of that.
I did some self drop but neither of them are on exchange. I will wait some time or for the first to get on exchange before making another one.
I did it once and will never repeat. I got coins, but as i see they are dead. Airdrops are free, no one has to pay for them.
Never send any money to receive an airdrop. The whole point of airdrops is to promote the campaign buy sending the community free tokens. Paying money for them is a sign of a possible scam.
Of recent such pattern of airdrop has paid off for me and it gas really being cool. I received Enumivo token by sending 0 ETH and later turn out to be cool project. A lot of them came there after like hydro, nobs, TOTO and all were cool.
I'll say this is usually scammers , but I had a case when I sent 0 ether tokens came to me, after 2 months I looked at how much they cost and they cost about 0.3 Ethereum
in my opnion the airdrops where you have to send ether to receive the airdrop are a all just scams. In the beginning days of crypto no one had to send anything to recieve a airdrop lol
Has anyone seen a crypto project where the devs distribute airdrops by asking people to send 0 ether? I have been involved in 2 of these types of airdrop but both failed, was dead, plan did not materialize. What would be someone's motivation in doing this kind of project?
Lucky for you that the transaction did error which is a normal stuff because sending out 0 eth is a dumb thing yet the network needs gas for a tx to push through and the thing you should be concerned about is that why would devs need eth or asked about sending eth to them? Its a total fraud or scam and i have seen lots of it where there are still newbies do make such thing or being fooled out. You wont even know if those coins would gain value later on or would still end up dead or a shit coin.Important rule on cryptoworld. - Dont trust anyone but yourself

I've been sending a lot of 0 ETH to airdrop campaign and I always get tokens of these airdrop campaign. But one important thing is that the tokens that I get are worthless tokens
The cost of gas fees could have made the project developers adopt the self drop option. I have received many tokens with selfdrop and I don't have any issues with it.
I never follow airdrop like this,indeed there are really successful in the market but the comparison 1:10 and if there is one successful then airdrop similar will be popping up to take advantage of the trust a moment of success of the airdrop before.Whereas this kind of a new scam marketing so be careful with the airdrop system like this because most will be so trash coin.
Never join Airdrop which have to send money/coin. Maybe they are fake and you will not get anything, just losses.
By the way, and such a project - Ethereum Private https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bounty-ethereum-private-private-faste-and-more-4402172
They ask people to send 0.005 ETH and promise for it 1000 token automatic. But I read the chat in a telegram, It seems that no one has received tokens yet.
Do you think this is a scam?

do not repeat again that sort of thing. airdrop should not be sent, giving funds to them. If you like it then it can be sure it is a scam and is strongly not recommended to follow. airdrop is indeed full of the scam like that then it's better to always be careful. 
It's never a good idea to participate in any airdrops that ask you to send BTC or ETH in order to receive them even if it's only a small amount
Most of these are scams and are simply designed to take your money and there are plenty of legitimate ones that don't require this so it's best to avoid them

I participated in airdrops before but I carefully choose which airdrop I will participate. i encounter airdrops that requires "Donation" with the given address with any ether amount. When I saw that in an airdrop campaign, I just ignore the campaign. I do not believe in those. First thing that enter my mind is "it is just a scam" so I am avoiding it. "Better to avoid it Guys"
The first rule is to never send any money for the expectation to receive something back in return. An airdrop is simply a marketing tool and a way to distribute the tokens for creating a community.
Much better to stop involving on airdrops, it such a waste of time and effort to end up on nothing and sometimes make you to br scammed. No matter how good they present their project to gain the support of everyone, once the money involve on it, you have to keep away from it. Free does not involve any amount to get some token that you do not know if not fake.
I took part in several similar airdrops. Also in the telegram I consist in group where wrote data for the similar transactions. Naturally I tried to transfer 0 ether, the expense was only gas. Tokens have really sent. But now they still have no price and don't bargain anywhere. The percent of successful airdrops with such conditions seems to me it's very low. Good that on gas very small amount of ether has spent.
All the airdrops appearing in this format, I have stopped doing them for long especially the ones instructing people to send some amounts so they can receive something. Most of the '0 Format' airdrops too have also appeared to be shit coins. So, I don't waste my energy on such anymore.
personally, I think if, you should stay away from the aerial air. Erc-20 is made very simple, many people make altcoin for ,
spam purposes and have no value because it's not a project. If you send 0ETH to other party's wallet, you also have to pay the transfer fee.

There is nothing will happen without cause or any cost in this world. If they are asking you for 0 Ether and want pay you money in the way of crypto then think a little bit what benefit they will accrue. And, also ask yourself that you own-self give some one money without ant any reason or in return for. They are in return asking your personal data and you don't know how far they will go to get benefit from these.
I am familiar with this method of airdrop and I am a beneficiary of one or two that really did well when they hit exchange. Hydro and Enumivo readily comes to mind. The only thing required of you is the transaction fees to claim it. It's smart contract based. I made about a $1000 from Hydro. I am not sure I spent up to $2 on the fees I used to claim it
This is a completely new way to get a lot of supporters through air drops.
However, I have always been curious about how this approach can be profitable.

I would be very careful with “zero sum” transactions. There are legitimate situations when you need to send a “zero sum” transfer to receive your token from the Ethereum contract, but would never do it for an airdrops; could be a way to hack your wallet.
Don't do this kind of airdrop!
Because you send 0ETH to the other party's wallet, you also need to pay the transfer fee!
This new way of airdrops makes the project side really achieve near zero cost.
That's not worth, there is a lot of airdrop that has used this method and worth nothing at the end of story. I guess don't waste your money and your time for this scam airdrop shit token. Because you send 0ETH to the other party's wallet, you also need to pay the transfer fee!

But people are being so crazy to think this airdrop will worth a lot in the future. The year of airdrop has passed.
If someone asks you to send your money for the airdrop, this is fraud. The very meaning of airdrop is the free distribution of tokens. To receive them you may need to either fill out the form or register in the whitelist.
But do not send any money to anyone, do not give your passwords and specify not your main e-mail, as many projects are fraud. You will receive a lot of useless spam messages. Like "You won something - send us money and get a prize", "only you are offered a closed sale, send money and get a 100% bonus."
Do not believe this ever.

Thanks. The one I joined though does not involve any substantial amount, just send 0 ether, so I guess just few cents to spare for the network cost and once you send it you will then receive the airdrop coins instantly. Mostly it will be around 3K coins something like that. Perhaps it's just some ambitious dudes who wants to initiate a project, they will generate coins using ethereum network create a contract and make an announcement to participate and once they see many participants that's the only time they will start in doing the project. Due to lack of knowledge and planning I bet mostly will fail but I am hoping to see someone finding a bit of success like being able to lunch a product, or create a whitepaper.
I think that 3k coins alone that you mention seems pretty fishy. I've joined many airdrops, not one asked for any ether to be sent, not even 0, and usually airdropping only a number of tokens/coins. 3k seems so high, unless it was accumulated on bounty tasks or referral, or what, but even then, 3k just seems a bit unbelievable. Even if it is legit, the value of the coins won't be much seeing as they distribute that high on an airdrop.
If you're just losing a very small gas fee, and 0 eth is sent for the airdrop, why not?
Just make sure you don't divulge other personal info or priv key. Stay safe in the crypto space!

Well you want to know the possible reason why you got no pay in airdrops.
No. 1 your chosen project for airdrop failed, the ICO failed thats why you did not recieved any token after the ICO end.
I would also like to say that do not focus on airdrops join some bounties you dont need to invest or pay any amount n the line just need effort to gain more than the 2 airdrop you joined and failed to received any amount.
Ow.. It's a selfdrop I received those already when I do nothing. But their are google forms that you need to sign up and invest if you have extra penny to invest. Receiving Airdrop from bounties are good way to earn coz they had a huge profit from ico stage.
I've heard of such information before, but after checking it is the trick of the scammers. They will secretly steal your cryptos by asking you to transfer 0 ETH to an address to receive a free Token. So be careful when dealing with strangers. If the Airdrop campaign requires ETH to receive Token, do not join.
I do not understand the airdrop problem but the airdrop that uses the eth 0 system is very much and it's very easy in my opinion. no need to fill out the form.
I believe that it was a Scam and they just collected information about you.
Don't do this kind of airdrop!
Because you send 0ETH to the other party's wallet, you also need to pay the transfer fee!
This new way of airdrops makes the project side really achieve near zero cost.
i think i can not give any kind of advice here, it is better for you to know bt yourdelspf and to makrpe conclusion and research Because you send 0ETH to the other party's wallet, you also need to pay the transfer fee!

well, i think that you shoylx do whatever you find ot necessary, so i think that you should listen to your intuition and move on

That's a selfdrop i think there are developers who keep creating their coin and promote it online. Don't ever invest on ICO you don't really know what's the real value or real case of it. Better do you own research.
there's no way even bitcoin falls faster than you realize that Socratus is a new life in the world of crypto

Hello, yes, many of these met and I came across. Someone is asking to send 0.001 eth but in fact scam only collects money and their coin stays on memory. I do not participate in this.
I participated in an airdrop that promises to match the amount of coins you purchased, they came through. I wouldn't send any ETH to anyone, and not sure how sending 0 ETH would work.
By the way, after reading this post I started to be interested in this question and found out some facts. Firstly, it is really a separate kind of airdrops called «selfdrop» and in fact you don’t pay anything excluding fees (here is something like the classification https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/airdrop-categories-selfdrop-add-assest-airdrops-new-forms-of-airdrop-2998495). And secondly only some of these airdrops would be successful, but it’s enough for this kind of airdrop because you don’t spend much time on it. Also this year some of them were really successful - ENU and TOTO (here is the opinion https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/selfdrop-turns-gold-4442207) and I am sure we will see another examples)
I think you should stay away from such airdrop. An Erc-20 is created very simply, many people create altcoins for spam purposes and it does not have any value because it's not a project. There are a few sites that regularly update the airdrop such as airdropalert, airdrops.io ... you can join.
Majority of those erc-20 tokens are not successful. I may agree on that part. But there are still self-airdrops where you have to send just very small amount of ether or 0 ether and you'll gonna receive thousands of tokens. With limited time offer only before the ICO will launch. But then, just 1% to 2% only are being known, succeeds and being recognized.
Why don't you just stay away from those airdrops? Sending 0 ETH will also need you to pay the gas price. And even if you get such airdrop token, there is literally no guarantee that your token will worth anything. Airdrops are a very simple way to get so many followers on twitter and telegram. It's not that hard to create your own ERC20 based tokens and I think most of the airdrops campaigns are being launched solely on the purpose of making their communities bigger. This is a way many scammers are following. I got involved in an ICO named Uchit which has 50k telegram followers because they launched an airdrop campaign to attract bigger investors so that they can run away with millions. But thankfully they have been exposed.
It's not empty or it does not get airs. If you join 100 airdrops you get only 5-6 of them. I try to earn this way.
I just got my tokens this way yesterday in this way. I think it's all done in order to verification your wallets
Well, you don’t send money to anybody, the amount of ether is zero and sometimes such airdrops are not fraud. For example there was an ENU airdrop in February and now it costs almost 300$. Or another example – I participated in TowerBee airdrop today (its announcement is here https://t.me/TowerBee) and got 100 TBE tokens just by sending 0 ether
The first rule is to never send any money for the expectation to receive something back in return. An airdrop is simply a marketing tool and a way to distribute the tokens for creating a community.
