I heard that testnets participants are earning good money since last year, is this better than crypto airdrops and bounties this days? Any testnet participants on here to testify this? I heard this from a friend and he claimed he got better results compare to airdrops and bounties.
I think that there is no general answer to this question as there were some testnet campaigns that were very rewarding for the participants afterwards while many others are giving absolutely no reward. As far as i know the Solana testnest was also very rewarding which happend like 2 years ago. I even read that some people that were very early with their registration for the Solana testnet even got free graphic cards and stuff like that, but i can not verify if that is true.
Of course now that some testnets have been rewarding we will probably experience a flood of airdrop hunters that are now joining testnets too, but not to test the software and the product but only to get some free $. That is not a good thing, all those people hunting for free money are harmful for the crypto space.
