Seeing as there are so many airdrops coming out and 99% of them are a scam with very few being legitimate, I decided to create this list help noobs who have trouble differentiating the two. I would also like to say, if you are not sure about a project DO NOT INVEST! Please do not take my advice as investment advice either; I am just trying to help give people who are a little less experienced in the crypto world by providing a little more information.

I will create a list of scam airdrops and a small list of legitimate airdrops. Please feel free to comment so that we can add more to the list and make it as accurate as possible.

Scams:

Ethereum Ultimate - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2410677.0
Ethereum Cash - ANN thread now locked by scummy dev
Ethereum Platinum - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2388294.0
eBitcoinGold - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2281255.0
Litecoin Gold - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2297409.0
Ethereum Green - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2333742.0
Litecoin Classic [scam version: released about a week or two ago] - thread has been deleted for some reason

There are many more scummy airdrops but I don't have the time to check them all. Please feel free to comment any scams and I will add them.

Legitimate:

Litecoin Classic [not scam version: forking the litecoin network] - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2408752.msg24656924#msg24656924
Netcash [white paper looks extremely good] - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2399717.0
Viuly [good project] - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2353646
DeepOnion[long track-record] - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2006010.0

I am more interested with your scam list than with your legitimate list. Even legitimate projects right now are accused of being scams, even the ones in your legitimate list. But then if a project is indeed legitimate, they can easily go forward and prove their case and worth. But in terms of scammy airdrops, more than 90% are already distributed. It is because people want free coins even if these coins are nothing. Why would a legit project simply create as its coin name starting with Ethereum and add with a color name?
