good insights in here

Giveaway - a donation to any warm body who may or may not ask for it (ex: Authorship, Masternodecoin, HOWL)
Airdrop - giveaway of one asset to owners of a separate asset (ex: CLAMs)
Sharedrop - airdrop in proportion to the amount of a separate asset (ex: OmiseGo, Byteball, Bitcore)
Sigdrop - signature campaign giveaway (ex: DeepOnion)

BCH is not an airdrop, it's a fork.

All new coins should do airdrops (and sigdrops too if the coin doesn't have big whales behind it), even if they are smallish (like OMG).  Airdrops increase distribution, instantly creates allies, and the airdropees will start pumping your coin.  Most legit airdrops are sharedrops.  The easiest coins to airdrop on right now are Ethereum and Waves (bitcoin does not have a native colored coin like Ethereum does with the ERC20 token, so to get a bitcoin sharedrop you have to sign a message typically).

Most giveaways are garbage.  However there are diamonds in the rough: NEM, Decred, and Ripple giveaways turned out to be huge.  One problem with giveaways is transparency--how do we know that the devs didn't create a bunch of sockpuppet accounts?  NEM has been accused of having many sockpuppet accounts in its giveaway.

Sometimes they happen in some campaigns with bounty, can cause confusion with some free offer or simply spread currencies freely in the market. It is always good to check the postings of these airdrops for no doubt.

The problem of money comes from its distribution.

Is it advantageous to the first arrivals? to connoisseurs? to developer friends?

An airdrop is a means of dispersing money that is more "honest" and transparent. The aim is to grant the attribution without "insider trading".

We can not say that it's perfect in the application, but in the idea, it's a little bit the goal.

Airdrop is a new model of coin distribution among users. There are different rules for each airdrop. But main thing is that users receive coins for free or for meeting some requirements defined by developers


I'm looking into your rank and trying to understand - how come you have Member status and I'm not. My acc is older than yours, and I have enough posts to rank up.

You can only get 14 points for every two weeks, I believe. So, you'll have to wait a bit while your activity points catch up with your post count.

As far as airdrops, as the others have already mentioned, it is a coin that is freely distributed as to an ICO where you have to buy the coin/token.

Some recent examples would be Minereum or DeepOnion.

There do tend to be some limitations - such as rank or account creation date - but they're a great way to build up your portfolio.

If you can't participate in one, though, you can always head to the exchange to stock up early. For instance, your rank won't let you take part in the DeepOnion airdrop, but it's still an early coin and it's a great time to get involved. You can also check out the website at www.deeponion.org to keep an eye out for bounties and other free giveaways.

it may be investing for a limit time. For investing they will give Interest. Perhaps this is new trading. I have not proper knowledge about this. You can ask this question a senior member and above. Also, you can search google for your query.
