Topic: TG airdrops / Do you think it's worth it? (Read 338 times)

So, we are now in 2024 where you can not even get a certain good reward from airdrop and there are too many scam projects. In these trending telegram P2E airdrops, so many participants are not even getting up to $3 which completely render their effort waste, because even the reward of $3 can not be withdrawn.

It's worth only for few projects, the rest aren't.

Recently, Hamster Kombat has been listed on CEX, although I didn't participate in this airdrop, but many people said it's not worth it because they've farm it for few months and there are so many tasks need to be completed. But, they only earn $10 from all effort and time they spent.

Airdrops themselves are now difficult to rely on, including luck that may or may not be obtained, because those who follow airdrops are currently very many, unlike a few years ago when not many people followed, maybe that is the factor that caused the shrinking payments received from this airdrop.

Yeah, we are going to see telegram end up being a great place for airdrops, but the amount of money that is distributed would be tiny per person and that is why people shouldn't put too much hope into these things since it wouldn't really pay out good chunks of money to each person. When you are dealing with something like this, you are not getting a good result and you shouldn't be worried about it neither. I think it's clear that we are going to see this growing to be something much bigger, I think that's the most important part.

I think we should not really be looking into airdrops in general to be fair because usually they are not great places to make some money and that is why we need to avoid them as much as we can.

Yeah, this could be a right approach how we must deal with airdrops in general. I feel like just because of telegram in involved in airdrops these days, nothing is going to be changed with respect to the final outcome an airdrop. So, lowering expectations and not spending much time on airdrop may lead for not having any disappointments when a project fails to keep up their words.

It's always the OG project that actually worth it to do, whatever project comes after always disappointing because either whales are dominating the allocation with their sheer capital or there are too many people getting interested and therefore the reward allocation distributed to huge amounts of people.

same thing happened, to retroactive, staking meta, and now it's telegram mini app airdrop, so no, it's not worth it after OG project's airdrop actually takes place.
have you seen pendle's leveraged staking point actually yields negative APR for the past few projects? . that's some of the clue right there

so expect disappointing result with whatever TG airdrop that's about to come, set your expectation low so if any of them actually have decent reward you can appreciate it.

I think every project should be checked like its:project  background , its motive , its objective and project owner co-founder . Campaign participation is a scam on those project who show you false dream like: if you participate before ....... date you will gets millions of dollar its totally scam.

I think most of the coins in future that will come under TON will be sh1t or scam. NOT was very profitable for me, 4 digits in airdrops, skipped dogs but was playing Hamster. I knew price will be low since there were way too many people but 30 Eur for 4 months lol. Ofc we can hope it will grow one day, but let's be real. For someone who is in to altcoins and TG apps, I found out about new “blockchain” Selenum coming in 2025. I'm not related to this project and i don't have any additional information about it, and will it ever come online, but we all know first coin / app on new blockchain will pay something. Feel free to check TG app - https://shorturl.at/zKr8d . Its obviously need some work but some mining available already. Once again, im not owner and not related to it, ur choice, just my thoughts

What I gathered from the opinions of many who participated in Rockyrabbit, Hamster, and Catizen is that these were some of the games whose airdrops were completely worthless.

Many people, whom I found just yesterday, had sold what they received for less than $5. Honestly, Im not surprised by the price the token reached or the amount they received, as with millions of players holding large quantities of the token's supply And the hidden hands manipulating it, there’s no doubt it would be worthless. I don't see spending months for few dollars as an appealing deal for some. Frankly, their strategy of paying in future chapters is a clever trick to prevent players from abandoning their games and moving on to other games. They promise you crumbs while you help them make millions.

This is what you could expect when it comes to copycats on which if there's something become a trend then lots will follow. We would really be flooded out by tons of similar projects on which they are really that trying out to aim on achieving the same success into those projects that had firstly launched on which we've seen on notcoin and dogs on which these meme coins did really make out some great price increase
and same goes on making some good free money into those people who had done their airdrops and this what makes the impression becomes more positive and driven off with that strong community support.
We do know on how crucial community support would be and its really that something which is really that great factor that affect a projects success and value in overall.

Is it worth it? It will be something not to be predicted because we dont know on what would be the end of the line. There's no way that we could really be able to make ourselves be able to know
on whether it would really be a success or failure. On the moment that you would already having some experience towards airdrops specially on TG type then you will really be having that idea
and you are already wary and act accordingly basing up into the experience that you had been able to encounter in the past. So it will really be just that a normal approach thing that you will be doing.

Many are impressed with dogs and even with notcoin which started it all. Now, people do see the disappointment because they're expecting a lot from these projects that will release their tokens or the ones that have been released.

They think that they'd get a lot of money from it. But even before, these airdrops are very tiny amounts that will be shared all together in the community.

Everyone is fortunate if the amount goes more than $100 but if it's just around $5-$10, that's what really is intended for.

An old friend who characterised himself as a game designer used to say "never have a rule that you cannot enforce".

Note that does not say cannot be enforced, as it could in edge cases require decades or even hypothetically centuries (Fermat's famous last "rule", anyone?) just to figure out whether in principle it could be enforced.

Thus my tendency to suggest that "bots" ought to be part of the game.

Which as it happens today has me reading papers and whitepapers about artificial intelligence, the usefulness of artificial intelligence in markets, and - of particular relevance to my goals around the simulation of markets gamification of markets and marketing of games - the usefulness of markets in artificial intelligence implementation(s).


If I don't want to bother trying to rule out bots, then in essence farm-owning is the game.  

Thus it behooves competitive game-clients to incorporate artificial intelligence.

Thus too hopefully eventually "non-player characters", "un-played nations", "player versus environment antagonists" and such can be out-sourced by the server to other servers or to clients.

A lot of potential upsides, in my view.

That is why "player accounts" in e.g. the Galactic Milieu's MUDgaard server permit up to ten characters up to five of which can be online at once...

...Allowing you for example up to five 24/7 workers for when you are away from keyboard, plus a party of up to five adventurer types for when you for whatever reason while at keyboard desire to play the game directly rather than sit back and chortle at how well your characters play it for you.

Well, personally I only follow hamster kombat, and it does take months to work on it. Even when the listing on CEX is popular, the price is really far from the target. Anyway, it is indeed not satisfying, but most airdrops have been like that in the past, so don't expect too much from airdrops. This is not the first time. In fact, I feel that maybe out of the many airdrops that exist, the possibility of paying satisfactorily is only a few. So, when following an airdrop, don't expect too much.

Yeah, tap-to-earn drops won't be a life-change for anybody other than shillers / farm owners
I know for a fact that DOGS was great for that kind of stuff. So, it's possible, but, overall - the gems are very, - very - scarce out there.

We knew it all along because these airdrops weren't just made for this season but several years ago.

It's also true that many people especially the new ones and have heard that many have become rich with crypto that airdrops are going to make them rich.

But that's the wrong mindset and they'll be slapped by the reality that it only gives few bucks with maximum effort and that's the truth about it.

Still a gamble in my opinion, there could be some who made success specially if they are lot the early bird and keeps on farming on the so called tap to earn right now and later after, they will get their airdrops and see how it made for them. Others received $100.00 or even higher, so I guess that you can conclude that they made serious money. But I have heard those who are hype on some projects in the farming and tap to earn games not getting what they expection. So still the success rate is not that high. I do agree though that way back around 2017 to 2018, airdrops are a thing for us crypto enthusiast, as we can easily get $100.00 or more in a single airdrop. Others got as high as $1000.00, and so it's very easy to make money during that time. But I do not think that we can experience it again, as those were the golden year of airdrop.

Who ever thinks that airdrops is something to relay on might actually be wasting their time. Airdrops is not worth giving any serious attention because you might just end up being disappointed. Years back, you can have a reasonable profit from airdrops but it's no longer profitable as before. Cheating is immoral and the only people that have and are making a better profit from some of those airdrops are those participants that commited cheating.

They've been tricked into paying, and they end up getting pennies, or working for months and only getting a few dollars. I actually have friends who worked on three of these for three months all day and was devastated when they see the rewards.
They all thought it was another Dogs or Notcoin in the making; they've been tricked, and they don't think they will continue, but they will analyze all the airdrops that come along because not all are worth working, some bad developers have explored this type of airdrop into making them their cash cow, How unfortunate.

This was expected from the beginning and like every airdrop, don't expect much from it. Perhaps the exception with this airdrop is that one finds himself paying few dollars for something that is not worth it, even if the amount is small, other than that, it didn't cost me anything in exchange for getting about a million points.

Now the other interesting point is that I got the same number of tokens with the same value and the same condition. That is, 600 thousand tokens with a value that barely reaches $3.5 and only half of it, 300 thousand tokens, can be withdrawn, while the rest will remain frozen to be unlocked in five batches. It would be better not to think about the value of each batch so that laughter does not turn into crying. It seems that they divided the tokens according to unspecified criteria or in a way that suits each user to get one or two dollars.

Let's not forget that getting two dollars in some countries is considered a small fortune. This is of course if you can sell it.

It was a nice experience that confirmed my position in insisting that following airdrops is the most futile and unsuccessful activity that anyone can do and that it is actually a waste of effort and time.

I knew about Hamster Kombat because it's pretty popular airdrop for the last few months but rewards is very poor, in 3 months works i got provable worth of 10$+, it was good wasted of time. Rocky Rabbit is also similar but i didn’t spent a lot of time in this airdrop, but i spent half of TON for transaction fees and finally i have seen in my wallet just showing 300k RabBitcoin which is worth of 2.44$ that means my spent amount was higher than my rewards.

I've been using Rockyrabbit, Hamster, and WatBird for about 3 weeks now, after learning about them from a friend. I don’t spend too much time, but I log in 2-3 times a day. These projects are all referral-based, not play-to-earn, so your success depends on how many people you can get to sign up under your referral link.
It's only worth investing your time if you're popular enough to get a lot of referrals. Otherwise, be careful—you might end up feeling tricked. Just remember that these projects mainly use players as tools to make money through social media and the crypto world.

Now all the projects that come through Telegram these days are complete corruption of the project.  Although major projects have been listed on the exchange, they have given users only a small amount of 5 to 10 dollars in distribution per user.  Be very greedy in the beginning and pay very little later.  It is much better to create attention elsewhere than to spend time on such a bad project.

Many people are new and think they will receive thousands of dollars with just a few simple clicks. But those in this forum know that most airdrops only pay users a few $"Ignoring the scammers" and that's why Bounties (Altcoins) are faded here because Telegram is the best way to encourage millions of users to invest money.

Its not worth it and I consider it an insult I received $3.54 worth of their soon-to-be worthless token, unlike Dogs where you received what you earned, from your task and referral rewards. They have many factors to consider, and I don't think I will join similar concept with per hour mining like I experienced with Rocky Rabbit and Hamster Kombat.

There are still many airdrops coming, and the community is watching who among these will give them a profit for all their efforts and time spent, Three more airdrops, like Rocky Rabbit and Hamster Kombat, and the Telegram Mini App airdrops will soon be over, people cannot keep up receiving pennies out of months of work.

By doing simple tasks, do not expect to make more than $50 to $500 in the best case. Therefore, the airdrop is only profitable for those who do the referrals, but they bear part of scam if it happens, as they know that users will not make much profit from the airdrop.

Dissatisfied since maybe they put all their hopes to earn huge from those projects since it create big hype on airdrop scene, but when they find out that their rewards is so small then  been discourage for the rewards they gotten from those projects. But if you expect something like this to happen and just want to participate and already accept the fact that situation like this have huge possibilities to happen for sure that those kind of disappointment will not come. Also expect that the more referrals you get the more money you can get from this type airdrops since this is now the new meta in that scene.

But if you can't exert a lot of effort and just rely on your self for doing those task they ask then maybe better not to expect so much since we know that to earn huge might not possible to happen. Just think about that if those big earning comes then its really great. So better join all free airdrop and you will feel those earnings to come especially if distribution date of all the project you enter would finally happen. If your question if its still worth it, well yes its still worth it you just need to work hard to earn big for those projects.

It's just another fad and you'd see that many of them aren't worth it at all. I'm following many of them but I am not active at all. I just casually open it whenever I want to but I'll never go down deep on it and get into the point of paying those transactions for me to get eligible to their airdrop. There's no essence of using the term 'airdrop' anymore with these projects because they're asking money. It's different from those projects that are having test nets because this one is solely telling you to pay a commission and do ton transaction for you to have better points allocation.

As I was saying about it being a fad, you know what's coming next. Many of them are just good for the beginning and soon, maybe less than a year, you'll all forget about them because they're not worth it at all no matter how enthusiastic you are because they're not going to last forever.
Believe me.

Yep, usually people who have lots of people to invite or dedicated groups of people to do so are going to be in profit, and others - not so much.
Nowadays, that's the reality of drops on TON chain. And overall, really.

I too got RockyRabit's RabBitcoin airdrop. The game is showing 600K RabBitcoin for me according to the same app, that equals to $3.54. If the cost for transacting, swapping and withdrawing be $.54, the money I make from this airdrop is $3 but again, I have spent 0.5 TON to be eligible. Which is equal to $2.9 and there were transaction fees involved on that process as well. So, my real airdrop is $0.1 or less. So much spent for just 10 cents.
It's natural that when a larger number of people flock into airdrops, the amount each get are smaller. So, the airdrops have became worthless.

The experience you shared reflects the frustration many users feel with this type of airdrop model. Indeed, some projects utilize airdrops to retain users over the long term, with schemes that split payments or only award full rewards to users who remain active. This often makes it difficult for ordinary users to gain significant benefits from the airdrop, especially if they don't have many referrals.

Overall, for many people, this kind of airdrop may not be worth the time and effort, especially without a lot of referrals or no interest in a long-term project.

Let it be clear to everyone that Telegram, as a company responsible of the developement of the Telegram messaging application, has no involvement in these projects developing airdrop bots or what we see from the support of global cryptocurrency exchanges. Telegram, in addition to being a social networking application, also allows the development of applications that work on it, such as bots or even a gaming platform such as casinos that can now be launched on Telegram or also crypto wallets. On this basis, none of these applications can obtain any data related to subscribers to them through the Telegram company, and the company, in turn, does not impose any restrictions on anyone who contributes to the development of applications of any kind as long as they are compatible with the application system as a whole.

As for the required tasks, there is no difference between them and any airdrop project whose primary and direct goal is to promote the token to the largest possible user base, so participation is in official channels or recording interaction on other social media platforms or inviting other users, and each task is completed with a reward called a bonus that is added to the balance of points or tokens. The only exception is a request to make a transfer under the pretext of proving that each user has one subscription account. However, this does not solve the problem because anyone can have more than one account and subscribe to all of them.

These airdrops will turn out to be big scams at the end of the day. Not long after the airdrops started, they were encouraging people to invest money. Here is a clear indication of what these are going to be at the end of the day. Airdrops on Telegram that encourage transactions I think are definitely going to be big scams soon. Because we have known for a long time that airdrops are completely free, but this time we see it differently. As a result, there will be massive fraud going forward and people will know the correct information and ignore it completely. Although people are not much aware about this.

Only frw of them. Its now saturated with crap

The more complicated this airdrop event is, we'll see later whether the value we get is commensurate with what we do every day with increasing tasks and various games that must be played to get the key or even disappointing. It all depends on the price later on the exchange

Airdrop is like gambling, no matter how you research about the project, and the team behind it, you still need luck to be able to make anything meaningful from your activities in promoting them, so for me this question is not all that necessary because before you set out to take part in an Airdrop, you should be ready to lose our at anytime and infact have a zero expectations since airdrop most times are sponsored by scammer's who uses innocent people to promote their scam project's without any rewards for them.

What you should know is that, the current wave of airdrop have not really recorded any significant long terms success results, because even some few of them that rewarded their participants, still end up dumping in the market within a short period of time.

Just note that many have given up on airdrops and only newbies are still taking airdrop seriously.

You shouldn’t give your all hope into airdrops. As there are many that are around, only few of them do well to pay their users a reasonable amount for their efforts. Those that are familiar with the crypto space should know by now that airdrops are by chance and luck, not all will pay you but since it does not require you to put in some money, you don’t need to say you won’t try some out.

Lowering expectations on projects like that are the best and when you do that, you won’t be dissatisfied by the outcome of them. How referrals get more allocation is a sign that those that are into the crypto are getting more richer and newbies are being used as bait to get higher rewards. If you want money in crypto, there are many ways you can do that and not relying on airdrops.

How much have you received from the Rockyrabbit, Hamster, and WatBird projects?



According to the comments I have seen on these projects' YouTube and Telegram channels, most users are dissatisfied. After 3 or 4 months of activity in these airdrops, I realized that Telegram airdrops can only be valuable for people with many referrals, and normal users promoting these airdrops. Additionally, these projects aim to retain their users even after the airdrop ends. So what do they do? They pay you only a part of your airdrop and the rest will be paid in the next chapters "to active users".

Do you think it's worth it?
