For example, when you get a distribution of rewards from an airdrop or bounty, it is more convenient to exchange USDT, BUSD stable tokens and then transfer them to the market. If the cost calculation is still good, I will do it, but if the cost is excessive, I will leave the coins in my wallet until I have a good calculated price. Thank you for your recommendation, good hardware wallet suggestion

Exchange it directly to USDT to see how the coin develops, if it has good potential for the future then hold it.
After all, the rewards given from Airdrop or Bounty are also not that big.

Most are still in the development stage or projects that have been successful immediately have a good market.
You can transfer USDT, BUSD, or other stablecoins to the market using a network that has low fees such as the BSC network, Matic, Optimis, Arbitrum, etc.

Suggestions for Hard wallets that I think are still good are Ledges Nano S or X, Trezor Model T or one, and Safepal S1 or X1.

Just choose, but some hardware wallets have their own advantages and disadvantages such as Ledger Nano which can extract private keys.
Research before you buy.

It is more dominant to store altcoins on the ethereum network which I think has great potential for the long term, and many new airdrop projects are born from the ethereum network which is better. I will definitely exchange it for more efficient stable coins and transfer it to the market to avoid theft.
I already have a Safepal hard wallet but I have never used it to store altcoins long term.

It doesn't matter if you publish your address publicly or try to hide it from the public, such spam tokens will still come to you if any activity is noticed on the new wallet. This is due to the fact that the sender does not use any publicly published data, but extracts the necessary information from the blockchain.

The more activity there is on an address, the greater its potential for receiving spam tokens. That's what I also experienced at the same address, even though I never shared it with anyone or shared it on the forum. quite a lot of scam tokens are starting to come. Moreover, if whales' addresses continue to be active, then they will also be targeted. always hide incoming spam tokens and don't try to sell them, it's just a trap for dusting.

Hi, please tell me, I have information that my wallet (BNB Smart Chain) has 9 tokens stored on it. Of them 2 tokens are normal: BNB and LUNA, the other tokens were sent to me by scammers. And now they are stored on my wallet. How can I get rid of them? How can I stop such "left" tokens from being sent to me? What do you do with such tokens? I tried to see these tokens through PancakeSwap and Trust Wallet, but they are not displayed there.

Don't get stressed with these shitcoins, just ignore them. In fact, we all have the same experience and we were surprised to have these coins because we never expected it. We sometimes think it was an airdrop or someone mistakenly sent it to the wrong address. Well, the best thing to do is not to deal with them as we are not sure where it is coming from. Some scammers make use of this tactic to scam people but make no conversation with them or else, you will fall into their tricks.

its getting difficult to just ignore it when we follow some airdrops and can misled us into thinking that these scam token is actually coin we gained from airdrop while its not.
it can expose use to the risk of losing money because we might accidentally swap them which might have happened to many people already.
usually its best to use new wallet that doesn't have the scam token being sent around but sometime after few months the new wallet will also receive same scam token.
its honestly irritating with these problem and there's no real way to solve it than just to ignore it.

Leave that alone. There's nothing to gain if you interact with it and there's a chance that you can get hacked if you are unlucky enough. Don't be blinded by tokens that has a fake value that appears on your wallet, most of the time those are scam tokens. I had these useless tokens that were sent to me by random people, I abandoned my old wallet before that has so many useless tokens including those shitcoins that I didn't intend to be stuck on my wallet for years of using it. Better be safe than sorry.

its really confusing dealing with these scam token in general, if we try to get rid of it we might get hacked, and if we just keep it there untouched it will become eyesore, alas thats just how it is with cryptocurrencies.
too many scam tokens created and quite literally infestating like a parasite in our wallet but there's nothing we can do.

It seems like this is often done by scammers, they have certain goals for this. Hemm, this is really annoying because there are more and more of them. Not just 3 but more than that, and many more. At first I also felt like I had never bought these tokens, but it turns out they are increasing over time. And this is annoying because they are just shit tokens. Not only that, actually it doesn't matter and just leave it, as long as you don't click or follow the directions for further suspicious things. but unfortunately, it becomes like dirtying wallets. Because there are more shit tokens like that than the real coins we have. But what else, you can't remove all of that from your wallet. That's the risk when we share our wallets publicly, usually when we enter our wallet address when participating in airdrops or bounties which can be seen publicly by everyone.

Now I prefer to transfer the balance to the market, it is more comfortable for me to have the money in the market. to eliminate the fear of being stolen. Certainly many people are annoyed by the presence of these rubbish coins, my advice is to move them to the market if are in doubt about wallet, for example if there are certain things in your wallet we can do as we wish such as coin airdrop or task airdrop

Transferring all your balance to the marketplace does not guarantee you will be safe either.
You have to look at the coins you have, sometimes some coins that have a price at your address do not have a market listing and are only available on Dex.

You also have to see all coins have their own market or CEX & DEX, it will all be scattered and will not be one, so this will provide a lot of costs to move it if your valuable coins are many.

Prefer to use a hardware wallet that is already secure enough and choose a hardware wallet that is recommended by everyone.
You must separate the main address and the address for airdrop, because the airdrop address will be very vulnerable to being hacked or exposed to coin dusting traps.

When a wallet that has started running spam coin transactions can automatically enter our wallet, you won't be the only one who gets the coins. Most wallets have started to be active. The key is to leave the trash coins in your wallet, don't touch them or connect them with dex. big danger can come quickly to eliminate the balance in the wallet. Most beginners who enter the crypto world become victims of wallet fund theft

also you can simply just use new wallet to avoid the scam coins, since generating one isn't that difficult.
if someone got so irritated with the presence of these random scam coins then they should just avoid it altogether by switching wallet, but doesn't mean you won't ever receive such scam coin again.
in the future they will definitely send some scam coin to you if your wallet have some funds that they are interested in.
these scammers are so eager to get your money they'd always target any wallet with stablecoin for example.

Same here with my trust wallet, I got lots of those shitcoins roaming around binance chain network if I checked it through their chain. These coins has nothing to do with legit project, most of them is confirmed spam and has no value at all. One time a scammer offered my to buy my pi asset holdings, and literally pay me fake usdt but I never trusted the scheme that he used because I found out that it was not a real usdt.

We should be vigilant at all times, never trust the strangers around us especially when it comes to crypto payments. Scammer doesn't care our problems, eventually they're going to be our worst nightmare if we deal with them! so be careful at all times.

I usually just ignore this and I have lots in my Ethereum account mostly from the ICO projects before that are either bankrupt or just mere scams in the end. Some of the coins are sent from unknown projects and I guess it's also my mistake from joining groups that I should've avoided before.
There's really nothing you can do about this, an option would be expensive to send these coins/tokens to another account but that means paying up the transaction fees. If you have loads of it then you may be spending a lot so ignoring them would be the best choice.
Another option is to create a new account and minimize the number of coins sent to you, just avoid joining Telegram groups that have something to do with cryptocurrencies. That way you can lessen the number of tokens sent to you.
This kind of problem had been more active back when airdrops were in the trend.

I agree that it is going to keep being an issue when the bull starts back up again. We haven't seen bull for a few years now, but next year or the year after that it will start again and we are going to be pretty upset about it again. I think that will be the time we will start seeing these things again, and it will not matter.

I hope that people could end up with something that should end up with a good result eventually, but that is going to end up with a result that should not be all that simple. I believe that we are going to end up with a result that will be a bit more dangerous if we are not careful. So, just let the tokens be there, and do not do something about them, if you try to, they may hack into your account.

...My sole intention is to differentiate between the tokens I genuinely use and those that are considered junk. So, at the very least, I need to have two wallets for this filtering process, where one wallet's address is publicized, and the other remains undisclosed.

It doesn't matter if you publish your address publicly or try to hide it from the public, such spam tokens will still come to you if any activity is noticed on the new wallet. This is due to the fact that the sender does not use any publicly published data, but extracts the necessary information from the blockchain.

Screenshot

My situation is not much different! I have around 20+ dead tokens in my wallet which I can't sell any more. These were mostly earned during my ICO bounty days. We can't do anything apart from ignoring them. That's the best thing we can do now.

I don't know if we can burn them or remove them from the wallet because these are available on chain and any wallet will show them as soon as it is connected to the chain. Best to ignore them!

I think every single people’s holding SCAM/SPAM tokens, because i can't protect myself after changing my WALLET address, in new address even which is not using in any bounty but i received a few spam tokens. So, there are no permanent solution to stop receiving such tokens, you can just hide it. Interesting thing is some tokens listed in PancakeSwap, and when you will try to swap then your wallet can be hacked, i heard such several incidents.

like many have said, if you don't mind, the only way is just to ignore these token, because there are many various ways and means that could be taken advantage of by them to drain your wallet.
and swapping it just for the sake if removing it could be one of their way therefore anyone should be careful when dealing with these token, best course of action is just to consider these scam token inexistent.
