Thank you all for supporting my Free Coin of the Day Series. After nearly three weeks, I've decided to switch things up and create a free coins of the week list instead. The two main reasons I decided to make this switch are:
- A significant amount of time was going into each post.
- Posting about a single coin a day left out a lot of other solid airdrops/bounties that you could benefit from.
In these weekly lists, which I will try to publish each Friday or Saturday, I'll feature the free coins I think are worth your time. I will still try to provide information on why I like the project, which a lot of you have said you really like. After all, I absolutely love learning about these projects. Diving into each coin is much more fun and interesting than just receiving a few dollars worth of a coin I know nothing about.
Here are my 9 free coins of the week. Referral links are all identified and please don't feel obligated to use them. Also, please comment below with any feedback on this series.
Gladius

My favorite by far on this list, I sadly will not be a part of because I accidentally botched the Telegram bot process and am now locked out. However, you can take advantage of this airdop, just don't enter in the wrong email address when signing up. I've been excited about this project for a while and was trying to buy Gladius coins on an exchange. Now you can get a few (number of coins isn't defined) for free.
Description of Project: "Gladius is the decentralized solution to protect against DDoS attacks by allowing you to connect to protection pools near you to provide better protection and accelerate your content. With an easy to use interface as well as powerful insight tools, Gladius enables anyone to protect and accelerate their website."
My Opinion: Gladius allows practically anyone to rent out their computer's spare network bandwidth in exchange for Gladius tokens, which of course, can then be exchanged for other cryptocurrency or fiat money. I am extremely excited about this project and I think the potential is huge. I see a lot of benefits for businesses that use this service in addition to the protection against DDoS attacks.
My concern with the airdrop, outside of my inability to complete it, is that there are no details on the actual value and amount of coins that will be given. I would definitely enter this airdrop, but don't expect any amount of coins over $1-2 worth.
How to Sign Up:
- Join the "Gladius Network Chat" Telegram Channel
- Create an account at https://airdrop.gladius.io/
- Follow the instructions using the "secret code" and complete the airdrop process.
Giveaway Details: Although the airdrop is open, few actual details have been released. I have not been able to find the number of coins, the number of coins per entrant, or a deadline to complete entry. Here is the official post on the Gladius Medium page: https://medium.com/@gladiusio/gladius-airdrop-learn-about-gladius-78a03e9034df

Bethereum

Description: "Bethereum is an innovative social betting solution built on blockchain technology. Designed to tackle the key challenges of conventional betting, it delivers a host of unique features and improvements. Starting with sport betting, our vision is to develop a wider ecosystem and establish the Bether token as the betting market standard."
My Opinion: The concept sounds bland, but they have one of the strongest teams I've seen for a gambling platform and their marketing efforts are extremely strong (just check out their Twitter and Facebook pages). From what I've seen, I like their chances compared to some of their competitors. It's still way too early to tell, but these are what drew me to their project.

How to Sign Up: Use my referral link below of visit Bethereum.com, and click "bounty." You can then "join bounty" and complete social media actions to earn points, which will go towards the coins you will receive. Actions include following and resharing social media posts.
Giveaway Details: 10,000,000 coins have been set aside for the bounty program. The total coin supply will be 1B. 1 ETH = 21,500 BTHR. The bounty pool will be split based on points, and there doesn't appear to be a cap on the number of entrants. There is no listed end date for the bounty program.

Monanex

Description: "MONANEX is the next generation cryptocurrency exchange platform with 0 fee to maximize traders profits. MONANEX will enable users to buy or sell all major cryptocurrencies, and also the world’s most widely used fiat currencies, in order to provide them with both high liquidity levels and maximum convenience. MONANEX have two components – Multi-currency blockchain wallet and fast and reliable exchange. "
My Opinion: Offering low to no fees for traders will attract traders, but it will be difficult for the platform to grow without earning enough in fees to pay contributors. There will be low fees (2%) for non-coin-holders, so some revenue will be generated.
How to Sign Up: Simply sign up for a new account and verify your address.
Giveaway Details: Each participant receives 50 free coins. With a cap of 200M coins and a price of .10 each, this is a good value for airdrop participants, which of course, only matters if it succeeds. People who sign up can also earn additional coins for referring others. There is no listed end date for the free coins in exchange for signing up.

Synthetics AI
.png)
Description: Synthetics AI creates "chatbot solutions for innovative companies and market leaders."
My Opinion: Chatbots are becoming very popular for businesses large and small. Working with small businesses, many of my clients have implemented smartbots into their online strategies. They are trying to take the standard chatbot a few steps further, trying to "predict the actions of your clients." I see the use of chatbots expanding and the technology behind it improving significantly--and they could have a real shot of becoming a leader in the space if this project is executed on flawlessly.
How to Sign Up: Simply register for an account.
Giveaway Details: Each person who signs up (email and ERC 20 compatible wallet) will receive 500 SYNT coins. Synthetics AI will have a maximum of 500M coins, and 5% of those will be given out through the airdrop (25M). After all the ICO rounds are over, the coin will be priced at 0.10 USD, meaning if the price remains consistent, airdrop participants would have $50 worth of SYNT tokens, which is an incredible offer. I feel like I am missing something here, but this just may be the best offer on this list for this week. The project has a long ways to go, but if it takes off, the amount of tokens you will receive will have some value.

A Few of My Favorites From the FCOTD Series (All Still Open)
VuzzBee

Description: VuzzBee is a unique link reward platform that rewards content creators for sharing their links.
VuzzBee is a decentralized link-sharing website which allows users to view and share a variety of content such as articles, images, videos and links -- and earn rewards! Whether you are a content creator or a content consumer, you will be rewarded for interacting with the website. Think of VuzzBee as “Reddit” but with a reward system that goes beyond just points.

Synapse.AI
.png)
Description: I recently covered Synapse.AI in my Free Coin of the Day series (which will now be free coins of the week). I really like this project. To sum it up quickly, Synapse.AI gives rewards to people in exchange for their data (from your Netflix habits to Google search history), and then sells that data to companies, but unlike Google or Facebook, you earn from this process.

Description: "The DX Network is the first real-time exchange for structured data about companies, investors, news and more." There are currently 6 available actions you can take to earn DX Network tokens, with each paying out 5 for a total of 30 coins if you complete all 6. There are still 40+ days left to enter.

Open Platform

Description: This was one of my first FCOTD posts, and it's still going strong. They describe their project as "the first blockchain payments infrastructure for applications." They have lofty goals and a rewarding airdrop for those who get involved. This is a much more involved airdrop than most as there are many tasks to complete.

Thank you so much! I had no idea about any of these projects and I am very grateful for you sharing them with the community. Please keep up the good posts!
Awesome, will do! Thanks for the kind words.
Very interesting post - thank you - krytonia @falesia
Hi @Michaelluchies. I'm curious to hear some peoples ideas. If you were to build a new version of Steem, what things would do differently? How would you redesign the platform?
Well, I am not anywhere near qualified to give an educated answer, but it's a good question and I do like sharing random opinions :-).
Steem as a blockchain or Steemit?
I'm interested in social media blockchain. What else is there besides Steem? I'd like to see a debate platform made, where there is an advanced rating system, so users with good ideas could gain some traction. I'd also like to see integration with corporate sponsors and advertising, to get money into the system.
Interesting concept. The name escapes me, but there is a platform where users get rewards for feedback and discussions. There are also several review rewarding startups on the blockchain like Futourist.io.
Social media: There are some new players but many have really failed to design a solid product. Sphere, OnG Social, LBRY (video sharing but social-network-ish), don't look like contenders at all. The real player, once it's ready, will be EOS' version of Steemit.
Brilliant thanks for the info and I will check them out! My Kryptonia account is @ianstevenson
