Nah it feel "off" as it seems to require to log into and sign up to either mist or another dapp. I've seen several of these types of "no one has every heard of this coin" situation before as it seems like a test for stealing eth.

It could be totally legitimate but airdrops are usually pretty simple and this seems like it's MICRO ETH GAS STEALING.

This is maybe the 15th one I came across in the last 30 days. A new coin pops up requires some bizarre gas limit to be set and sends you a bunch of coins that you'll never hear of hitting an exchange EVER.

I'll pass.

Not really. So basically, the only people with a problem with this airdrop seem to be people who don't know how to use Ethereum, lol. Metamask is not a scam. It's a popular eth app that people use for more than just this airdrop.

I have no idea why you wouldn't trust metamask, but oh no, sure let's go use EtherDelta in my browser and put in my private keys?

If you want to be completely safe you can install metamask on chrome and create a new wallet with it.

Then you send 0.000150 eth to that new address from your whatever eth wallet.

So here's what happened when I do this:

I send 0.000150 eth to my metamask wallet.
I go to the airdrop link. It asks for a minimum of 1 gas, you can set WHATEVER gas you want, but the minimum is 1 GAS. The eth equivalent they require as a minimum is 0.000127.

After my 5 mil coins came back to me, I found I had 0.000067 eth in my address. That means they returned some eth.

So if we do the math:
150 - 127 + X = 67
X = 44

They returned 0.000044 eth to me along with the 5 mil tokens.
That means the actual eth you use up for the airdrop is 127 - 44 = 0.000083 eth.

So it takes 0.000021 eth to send them the tx fee, so you'd be using at minimum 0.000042 eth so they could receive the 0.000021 eth to send you the tokens.

That leaves 0.000041 eth that's unaccounted for. I guess they could be stealing that eth. Or it's being used up for some reason. I'm not sure.

But at 5 Million tokens / 100 billion = 20,000 theoretical airdrops

20,000 x 0.000041 = 0.82 eth....................................... THEY DID ALL THAT WORK TO STEAL ONLY 0.82 ETH?

Come on man.

And you don't have to take my numbers for fact. Go do it yourself. Send 0.000150 eth to your metamask address, then go for the airdrop. Then after the tokens arrive, check your balance. It's all there in plain view.

You can even see it happening with one of my addresses:

0xf3f03F47E1f7CA504504Ab770A03400c2EA7598E

You can see the two only transactions there, the 150 I sent in, the 127 needed to for the airdrop. And you can see the address's final balance.

It's all there.
