kind of sad when a large percentage of website visitors are just airdrop farmers

I like building apps on web3 protocols. DevRel @ ENS Labs. gregskril.com

How do you do step 1 though? If most (in my somewhat limited experience) farming is done manually, they would just skip over the triggers

I had Google reCAPTCHA on a site recently and was deemed 99% safe traffic. I’m afraid some trap would have similar results. But very open to ideas if you have :)

This could be a fun honey pot to build out:

1) Have a site that has a hidden field that only bots/airdrop farmers would alter.

2) Log their IP and provided address

3) Airdrop them a soul bound token

Now you have a blacklist. IPs and ETH addresses are easy to shuffle but at least you can inconvenience them a bit.

Staying up late at night wondering what the unrealized possibilities of Farcaster may be.

Last weekend I built a site that makes it easier for people to bridge Goerli ETH to Zora’s testnet

There’s a 0% chance this many developers who actually have a use for testnet ETH are visiting the site (12k+ of which bridged)

High numbers are great but hard to tell how many are legit

ehh that feels like a stretch 😅

IMO the intention of an airdrop farmer is almost never to experience/use/learn about cool tech. Can they also happen to like the tech, sure. But that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t have liked the tech without an airdrop. If getting an airdrop is a prerequisite, that’s not organic

Yeah but some airdrop farmers are impressed by the tech and come back for non-airdrop actions. 

And if they aren’t, the tech needs to be better.

I see that as an unintended side effect. Yes stress testing is useful sometimes but I think it's hard to say that airdrop farmers intent is to help test a technology... Much more extractive vs supportive IMO

Airdrop farmers can be used to stress test. They should be viewed as a useful tool, not an inconvenience.

Not sad if you leverage and monetize them.

Agreed, this always annoyed me. After our fundraise announcement we had a substantial spike in ultra low quality usage as a result of getting on some airdrop farming lists

LOL, imagine saying this exact sentence this to someone 10 years ago 😂
