yes for airdrops mostly smart contracts are used on the eth platform, just like they distribute tokens to the investors, similarly they set the parameters and addresses for airdrop tokens and then the process is automated.

Yes, I understand the idea.

However, I am wondering if there is any Solidiity code available that I can play with. Any ideas?

Yes there is a way to do that. It is done by scripts and a smart contract, script feeds the address list to smart contract in bulk packages, and smart contract sends them with the standard send command (looped).
The avarage cost of airdropping tokens is 0.1ETH per 1000 addresses ( I'm talking about gas cost only ). So for your examplary 5000 addresses, you'dpay 0.5ETH gas fee.

Thanks for the info about the gas cost. I can see, from the Twitter, that you are very knowledgeable about all the airdrops happening!

Do you know of any example smart contracts / scripts used? All of the tokens mentioned on your Twitter must be using such code.

Thanks.

How exactly do altcoin tokens distribute airdrops?

I've noticed that a number of altcoin projects distribute tokens via airdrops.

Members sign up with the ETH address using Google Docs or on the token's website. Often, several thousand people may sign up to receive a defined number of tokens.

How are these tokens being distributed in an efficient manner? Is there some kind of script that sends 100 ABC tokens to each of 5,000 addresses?

How do these airdrops work?

What is the best way to create an ERC20 token?

I would like to create a new ERC20 token. Where am I supposed to enter the code?

a) In Remix IDE on the Ethereum website.
b) In Remix in the Mist wallet.
c) in the Ethereum wallet.
d) Somewhere else.
   
I simply want to enter the code, compile it, see the tokens in a wallet, and be able to send the tokens to another address.

Is there an accepted method? Thanks.
