3min reading story to understand why blockchain is amazing and Tron community rocks

Midnight. TronBurger Party has just ended, but I’m without sleep thinking on how far blockchain has gone and how much craziness is hidden behind this so called airdrop-tipping process. That’s why I decided to share my experience through this story, trying to shortly summarise why this event was particularly insane and how people can take little advantage from it in the next future.

What a Crypto Airdrop is?

First of all, by definition, an Airdrop is literally defined as “an act of dropping supplies, troops, or equipment by parachute from an aircraft”. Unlikely the image you have just drown in your mind, a “Crypto Airdrop” — technically — is not an airplane which drops coins from the sky, but “a procedure through which a blockchain project distributes free tokens to community members” (investopedia.com).

BurgerTron Party by @BRGBTron

During my daily “/tron thread-refreshing moment” on Reddit, I was accidentally attracted by a post about this strange BRGBTron Airdrop, followed by a shortened Telegram chat link.

Just one click to be catapulted in a 400 users chat with a never stop flowing burgers stickers and enthusiastic related emoticons! Atmosphere was simply amazing and only few was understanding what really was going on — surprisingly was not another scammy chat.

The pinned statement said:

Our airdrops are legit. Free. And for everybody. We are doing something crazy here; celebrating cyber parties! Be part of this amazing new world and join us in one of our parties to get some free tokens. No registration required. No setup required. Just write something, have some fun and get tokens tipped!

The countdown was already live, and I had less than 30 minutes to understand the game rules. But everything was clear in a while, composed by just 5 simple steps:

Setup your TRX Wallet linked with Telegram

linked with Telegram Have party in the chat writing something funny

writing something funny Receive tokens (for free!) from the airdrop

(for free!) from the airdrop Receive and send tips from/to community users

from/to community users Check your balance on TRX Wallet when party ends

Put it simple, we can say that party was made by just 3 important parts:

Give a Tip: thanks to Telegram, users can tip each other through the “/tip [quantity] [token]” command by replying on a user comment. Note: tips to new users are really welcomed!

A Scheduled Airdrop: at the beginning of the party, the organiser distributes all the granted tokens to the users which joined the chat since that time (so you don’t have to miss the chance!).

Few Random Airdrops: after the scheduled one, the party continues and through the “/rain” command group admins can distribute random tokens quantities to random users in the group till the end of the event.

GoSeeditBot and TRX Wallet

In order to be active in the process you generally have to rely on the GoSeedit Telegram bot.

GoSeedit is a fast, easy to use, multi-platform payment system for the Tron Protocol. The platform goal is to give TRX hodlers a convenient way to transfer their coins to other addresses in few simple steps.

Just configure your TRX Wallet, a digital pocket based on TRON Blockchain — where you can store the collected tokens — and you’ll be ready to party.

Download Telegram and get a username Write to @GoSeeditBot account Write /start and then /tip commands Use the keyboard to navigate the menu

Seedit menu on Telegram with options needed to manage your wallet

Your TRX Wallet will be automatically created and the hidden address will be managed by Telegram to address token tips directly to your wallet during the party. In particular:

Address : will be the destination where tokens will be transferred

: will be the destination where tokens will be transferred Private key : is the unique key you have to access your wallet (from any Tron wallet website) and manage tokens you have inside. Important recommendation : store it in a secure place, make a backup, print and hide in a safe place, DO NOT SHARE WITH ANYONE

: is the unique key you have to access your wallet (from any Tron wallet website) and manage tokens you have inside. : store it in a secure place, make a backup, print and hide in a safe place, DO NOT SHARE WITH ANYONE Balance: it displays your actual balance for each coin you have received during the party

Conclusions

That’s it! A simple idea, simply brilliant. And fun at the same time. But on the other hand, if you try to focus for just one minute on Tron blockchain concept, you can maybe glimpse what TRON Foundation long term vision is: an attempt to build a decentralised (and optimised!) ecosystem where developers can create Decentralized Applications (DApps) like this one, in order to generate a tangible business case for final users (reflect on money transfer, in this case).

I think this is just the beginning!

And what is coming seems really exciting.

So…What’s next?
