Is this still open or has it been filled now?

Pretty much what the title says. Has the meaning of airdrop changed or something? I notice that every crypto currency and website etc is claiming they have an airdrop which, in reality, are bounty programs.

A scheme where you have to follow a load of social accounts and make posts for a couple coins is not an airdrop.

I think a couple people in here have given viable explanations to the difference between altcoins and tokens but, if I am honest, I think it is another term which the crypto community is just throwing around willy nilly.

Airdrops is another one. . .

If you can see more chance of a profit through the alternate coin then, yes, it is a good idea. If the coin is as much of a gamble as the other then maybe not so good

I wouldn't be so sure, there are many projects which have absolutely huge communities which are struggling to achieve this due to restrictions from governments and banks

Hey bud, thanks for posting a link to the article! I'm gonna write a proper article about you all to follow it up

I like that youre actually putting some form of verification into this and look forward to it!

It's not an airdrop if you have to jump through hoops to get anything. What you have proposed is a contest mate

People in crypto need to really stop calling everything a scam, it doesn't do the industry as a whole any good.

I'm sure you all have noticed the ridiculous gas price recently! Well it has finally dropped back down to 8 Gwei (yay).

Does anyone know what caused it to rise, and then drop again?

I would not participate in any airdrops which require you to either send ether or participate with their contract through your personal wallet and send gas. They will most likely turn to be scams. If they distribute 100% free then cool, other wise get tae

YEs you can buy altcoins with Ether and, personally, I prefer to. The fees and wait times with Bitcoin are considerably higher!

I'm glad this has been noted and acted upon, so many of these are requiring posts and it is just making otherwise dead threads look popular even though they're just full of newbie accounts.

I'm really not a fan of all these coins asking people to post in their threads. It's just making loads of threads with fuck loads of comments which don't really say anything. madness.

I see everyone is very much behind bitcoin but it seems the main reasoning is literally that it was first. In all honesty I understand that it is going nuts with price but I do not see it ever replacing FIAT currency. Another crypto will. At the moment BTC takes for ever to actually confirm and the fees are considerably high in comparison to other cryptos. I wanted to buy a TenX card for $15 and ended up having to buy $23 worth of BTC to cover the cost of TX fee, and it took over an hour to confirm. In the world of business that is not going to fly at all. The point of crypto is to make things easier but, unless you have it in a wallet already, BTC seems to just add hurdles to making your transaction

I think that the future of Neo will heavily depend on the regulations set out by china in the near future. If they end up deciding, as many speculate they will, that Neo is their preferred platform for ICOs then I guess I'd expect Neo to match or possibly surpass Ethereum just down to the sheer size of the Chinese population. No company is going to want to shoot themselves in the foot and exclude a nation of over 1.3 billion from being able to invest in them. As well as the Chinese population you also have countries like Japan who would probably prefer an East Asian based company to handle their ICOs.

It's all goin to be very interesting when, and if, the PBOC release their stance on the situation.

I've been saying about this for so long now and that I feel these currencies are all made by the same person. Now they have evolved to start asking for donations of eth to participate in the 'airdrop' which is just an ICO for a shit coin in diguise. We need better quality control or this sort of thing will be the death of the industry

It's worth doing your research as the price is under half what some people
Paid on the ICO.

I got in pretty early so will just hold it until it's worthwhile but there seems to be a lot of FUD around this company and They are not the best at stopping it.
