This is our main Airdrops Bounty List. We sometimes include early mining, masternode or staking opportunities for newly launched crypto tokens, as well as blockchain gaming token giveaways.
Especially during festive seasons, blockchain game outfits organize special bounty hunts where users can gain rare in-game assets or collectibles that can be later auctioned for ETH.
The list has the freshest items on top, as they get added.

| New non-custodial anonymous peer-to-peer Bitcoin trading | Opened 19 Nov 2019 | If you miss the heyday of LocalBitcoins where anyone could buy BTC locally for cash (which has been banned since this summer) and anonymously (now site-wide KYC is required, plus allegedly LocalBitcoins have been working with three-letter agencies), since 19th November you have the chance to go back in time and buy your corn without ID again - at least for some time. You know that good things like this don't last ... The former ETH marketplace LocalEthereum rebranded to LocalCryptos and offers local and anonymous BTC trading with fully automated escrow that is built natively on BTC blockchain - because bitcoin's smart contract scripting capabilities are good enough for simple stuff like escrows. You can even import your vendor reputation from LocalBitcoins. The reputation import is done via adding a unique code to your LBC profile page, not by linking anything directly, but still in case you like your privacy it's probably only a good idea id you never ID'd on LocalBitcoins. | details | make acct |

A token airdrop is a PR tool used in the cryptocurrency space to increase brand awareness of new blockchain projects. Tokens related to new projects are typically distributed as bounties for social media engagement.
Now that Facebook and Google banned ICO advertisement it is likely that companies launching an ICO will make more use of airdrops and bounties as a form of advertisment, at least for some time.
From a user's point of view, in an airdrop every participant who meets the conditions receives the advertised amount of free tokens. In a fork, every holder of another cryptocurrency receives the advertised amount of the forked cryptocurrency without doing anything. The holder may choose to not access the forked coins and ignore the fork completely, they will still be in the holder's possession though.
More technically, airdropped tokens often live on the Neo or Ethereum blockchain, therefore the tokens can be stored in a Neo or Ethereum wallet respectively. In a fork, a new blockchain is created that has the same history as the legacy chain up to the time of the fork. That is why forked blockchains need their own wallets.
In a crypto giveaway only a small number of participants is randomly drawn and receives the free tokens.
In a contest, users submit some form of work (often design work) but the team only rewards the selected best work.
Airdrops, airdrop bounties and crypto giveaways are not inherently risky, as long as the user does not need to install new software to participate.
Even so, by signing up and giving away their email address users are opening themselves to a range of phishing attacks and attempts to hack their cryptocurrency exchange and web wallet accounts.
Cryptocurrency forks are directly risky because to access the forked coins one needs to import private keys into a third party wallet. Therefore it is recommended to move the legacy chain coins out to a newly generated legacy wallet before importing the private keys to the forked chain's software.
If it is required to install a specific client to receive airdropped tokens, it is safer to do it on a device that does not have the legacy chain's wallet. It is only somewhat safe-ish to install the new wallet on a virtual machine.
We do our best to hand-pick and verify all the information about airdrops and forks that we get.
There is not enough space in the table to expand on the warning, you will get better information from our Medium page "CryptoLounge" where the airdrops are republished.
However, we still cannot guarantee anything. You should still be careful when claiming coins. The information published here comes without any guarantees from us, you are responsible for your own security.
