I'm sorry, maybe I don't read enough about crypto--what is an airdrop coin?

It actually means that once the coin is dropped on Bitcointalk, money is being generated out of air.

~CfA~
Not trying to be dense:  Is that what it really means?  I will say that I see a lot of coins for which that's exactly the case. 

i was joking Wink

Check out Auroracoin for instance - a classic example of Airdrop.

Auroracoin is a classic example of why an airdrop won't work.  Grin
There have been plans of air dropping even small amounts of bitcoins (in Dominica) to increase bitcoin adoption.


Yes, it's a pity Auroracoin's airdrop didn't work. They were the pioneers (not mentioning also pioneering premined iirc).

Have always wondered if it might worked if the airdrop was given to selected few icelanders first (priority holders) before giving out to the masses.

Another interesting concept was to claim it through their national registry, how did they do that without people claiming for others?
