This airdrop for me is the real retrospective airdrop experience! Just like Arbitrum. No need for a lot of things to do, as long as you are using the product at all in general.
Just like what happened in Arbitrum before, like there are already lot platforms especially DeFi platforms in Arbitrum before the airdrop and you just casually using the chain without knowing or expecting any airdrop.

If you accidentally used the Arbitrum blockchain, then I am sure that your airdrop was small compared to those who made efforts to increase the volume and number of transactions. And it is natural that their efforts were generously rewarded, although those who accidentally used the blockchain were also satisfied, as they received free coins that they did not even count on.

A bad one will not get any attention at all if it is being realistic so they tell lies, but I honestly hoped that it would be like that, obviously everyone would jump into the good ones, but if bad ones were real, at least people would check them out too and they could still find plenty of people who will want even tiny amounts. Instead, we have bunch of airdrops where people all claim the biggest and greatest. Like check the bounty page on this forum, it says stuff like 250K DOLLARS WORTH AIRDROP, and you check and they consider their shitcoin 1 dollar whereas it won't be even 1 cent, so what they claim to be paying is 250k and yet they do not pay even few dollars.

In my experience, any project that beforehand tells you without their token being on market, that they are going to give such amount of $ value to users, is going to fail, it's never going to worth as what they promise.

And it's not a new thing, bounty projects back in 2016/17 used to do same to get attention of bounty hunters, now the same net is spread for airdrop hunters.

All these defi air drops are getting harder and harder to get and even if you qualify the amount you get won’t be that much.

Best was 2 years ago when all you had to do was use the service once and you would qualify. But all these account farmers made it more difficult and why we have these Sybil detection in place to combat that. Hence why it’s more work and you get less rewards if there is an actual airdrop.

Project owners are becoming too hard to release rewards especially those which they will asked to perform some specific task and, I can also witness a kind of manipulation in airdrop campaign because I can remember then when one has to do a minor task to be able to receive rewards some of these are to just joined their telegram group and make good comments to receive rewards. Even the testnet nowadays does not rewards it's participate that much rather giving participants cooked stories.

I wish that it was like how it used to be but unfortunately it is not, most of the people are not doing something even remotely similar and we need to realize that. I get that it may not be all that amazing and all that, but at least I hope that it was fair, like they tell you what they are going to do.

Recently found the PYTH network Airdrop and that was on the Solana Chain which gives users a huge amount of free Airdrop which were qualify for it and the prices now has been 0.41$ per Token. Although I was not selected in that Airdrop but I have seen users have won $23k from just this Airdrop which works consistently. I have noticed one thing in all these Airdrops when the market is good then the Airdrop would be better and can give a huge amount of money to the users but when the market is not good that all then it would not give that much of the amount we expect from them.

Yea, this is why I suggest to take your part from airdrops you get, money is not yours until you actually sell. Many of current projects won't survive in harsh bear market conditions.

This airdrop for me is the real retrospective airdrop experience! Just like Arbitrum. No need for a lot of things to do, as long as you are using the product at all in general.

Retrospective airdrops are still like that, I mean that's what 'retrospective' word implies. It's just that people have started speculating whether particular projects will give airdrop or not, what will be the conditions, etc and then they do things/tasks in hope for getting lucky which sometimes works, sometimes not. You are free to not speculate and enjoy whatever comes on it's own.

— Testnets are waste of time
— Zealy/Taskon/Galx and such platforms are waste of time
— Using platforms for sake of being interested can be rewarding while using them for sake of airdrop leads to burning
out and disappointment
— Retrospective airdrop trend is too saturated, good amount of money is no longer found here
— Already announced airdrops are waste of time
— Projects/'X' influencers are milking the hype
— Minting NFTs to qualify is waste.

And now we are all in wait for the Layer zero through which we can get a huge benefits and we will see that I think in the Next year start. So, we are waiting for it now. May be it would make us rich.

...Even SEI developers which have been trusted by so many venture capital already deceived the whole of its testnet hunters.

Of course, many were disappointed by the SEI team's decision that airdrop was not automatically distributed to all wallets, but for the sake of fairness, it should be noted that they never promised that they were going to distribute airdrop among the participants of the same network. Therefore, we cannot claim that we were deceived by the SEI team.

If it's testnets, obviously I don't want to try it and I've also seen that the payout is very small and it depends on the points and quests we complete and it would be a waste of time. Now the airdrop, the problem is that many people participate, it is drawn randomly and the chances are very small. It also depends on the project, so do your research first. NFTs difficult because not as profitable as they used to be, because yes, since the AI boom, everything is easy if you generate 3D or some kind of fantasy virtual asset image. However, the NFT space still has a lot of potential, but for now it is more important for me to be careful and not over-invest.

Any campaign that has points/quests, it's waste of time and this includes all this platforms like zealy/questn/galx. The harder the task the more the reward, like running node — not many people do such tasks, also the less saturated the project more the reward.

Most nfts are useless, only aptos rewarded for holding nft, I don't think it's to do with AI tho.

I was surfing Twitter, came across this statement, sounds pretty accurate.

"If project announces airdrop beforehand, you are their airdrop"

It is completely true, majority of it is just waste of your time, you may not be spending any money on them, but you are spending your time and time is something we can't get back. I would even rather spend money on them unless it is a huge amount instead of waste my time, because I can lose money and then keep working and earn that money back, money can be earned anytime, but I can't get back the time I wasted on these stuff.

This is why when you are joining an airdrop, do not consider your time cheap, doesn't matter where you live or how poor you are, you should instead spend your time learning new stuff which would be profitable for you on the long term. I agree that it is not that easy but it is definitely not worth it.

but then again these project never promise that they will have an airdrop, even allocation isn't even disclosed properly into the public so I don't think its really problem coming from their sides.
also added with the fact that sometimes most of the devs outright refuse to have plan of airdrops though sometime the ending is different but it seems they just don't want to take responsibility of giving airdrop.

therefore I think if anyone really wanna get the airdrop then just do the task, but never expect anything from it, airdrop was never sure way to make money in the past and its the same nowadays.
if someone want to make money for sure why they are not investing instead? though i know the result of airdrop sometime massive but its just 1 out of 100 projects out there even less.

No expectation is always a good idea, significant airdrops I got were all organic. Meanwhile, some that I farmed consciously turned out worth peanuts or they didn't do an airdrop. It's just less headache when you are genuine.

Testnet airdrops now waste a lot of time and are more tedious.
Results are not worth it and always disappointing what has been worked on for months or years...

Even if there are no awards for working in the test network, it will still be useful for a beginner, as it will allow to learn and consolidate in practice various interactions with various contracts. In addition, the execution of tasks in the test network can serve as an additional multiplier, which can affect the size of the airdrop.

The good airdrops have passed and now the new project is just capitalizing on the hype trend on twitter.
That in a bear market no testnet airdrop is profitable.
And the crazy thing is that yeast costs a lot of money, to bridge to other chains, minted NFTs, not to mention other claims.

so many testnet airdrops are indeed just waste of time, even the upcoming venom blockchain I assume would just reward a dime.
but even then many are still doing the tasks knowing the future hasn't been really good with these but I don't think that these testnet tasks usually costs money because as you know they are testnet and
its just that sometime the task are really complicated task.

people should just stop doing all these testnet they quite literally get taken advantage of by the devs that want free tester.

I remember my friend who has been working on sei testnet for almost a year but he got paid 3 dollars from what he has done for almost a year. It looks so stupid to see how people keep being delusional in getting rich quickly from airdrop.
Many scumbags are using this opportunities to increase their engagement in x to get as many followers as possible.

I participated in the sei testnet as well. I have an officer role and only received 100 Sei(Around 20$). Also, they do not distribute all the airdrop allocation(Which is 300M). Most of the users do not receive any allocation. So all the sei Dapps are moved to other networks like BASE to handle the situation. Otherwise, their sei dapps will be rekt. These days most of the projects exit rug pulls.

thats really too bad, i've seen the fact that sei network currently aren't really that populated with dapps, most of the dapps also escaped, they knew that this sei blockchain is doomed from the start
and its because the devs themselves and its really silly considering the fact that this blockchain could be big had the devs are fair.
but nah, the devs seemed only care about the money they good from funding by investors and just doesn't wanna distribute reward fairly because they are concerned of spending money to contain the dumping
in short they want to keep their money from being used for the coin itself.

I don't wanna burn my money for something that is still remain unclear at this moment. I saw that many stupid influencers were always luring us to burn our money for the retrodrop like this https://twitter.com/nobrainflip/status/1704445264965038341

Yeah, I do same, I stopped chasing airdrops sometime ago, also less the effort and money involved, less the attachment, whatever comes of it's own accord I enjoy it.

I have been doing many zealy campaigns since last year but got nothing. It's a useless platform. Many of legit airdrop rarely involved zealy task in their process. IDK why airdrop hunters are still using zealy.

Quote from: libert19 on September 21, 2023, 10:36:03 PM

Regarding Twitter influencers, it's because of revenue share to creators program, many people are milking it via creating retrospective airdrop threads.

True. I saw some fake testnet campaigns on x and zealy ran by scammers. Scammers are tricking people who search for airdrops and testnets to boost their own x accounts.
It can be quite challenging to discern whether the testnet is legitimate or not. Even SEI developers which have been trusted by so many venture capital already deceived the whole of its testnet hunters.
