What's up, folks! I hope y'all had a lovely weekend and looking forward to a lovely week. Trust we are all staying sane in these trying moments in crypto space. Try to stay sane and safe at all times.
Before we head into the business of the day, I'd like to share some important information for those who participate in airdrops.
For those that don't know what an airdrop is (if there is), it's simply the distribution of free tokens by developers to users after performing certain required tasks. Some of these tasks might include, but not limited to, following social media pages, referring, inputting a required wallet address, signing up on their platform with your email, and more.
It's good to keep in mind that rewards from airdrops are not guaranteed and can be considered not legit until you receive the tokens in your wallet!
Some of these tasks can be dangerous for your assets since the legitimacy of most airdrops are not verifiable and can be a scam - a lot of the airdrops in recent days are not legit.
If you find yourself participating in a scam airdrop without realizing it, you run the risk of having your wallet hacked and your assets wiped.
So, below are a few tips for participating in any airdrop:
Have a separate email, different from the one you use on exchanges like Binance, for airdrops.
Don't use the Trust Wallet address where you have your assets for airdrops. Create a separate wallet on Trust Wallet dedicated for airdrops (yeah, you can have multiple wallets on one Trust Wallet app)
If any airdrop link looks suspicious to you, just ignore it. You don't have to click!
You can add other security measures, not on this list!
Even though rewards from airdrops are tempting and very exciting if received, scam airdrops can make you lose your life savings!
Please be alert!
In addition, I read these lovely lines from @Cryptonators on noise.cash, and I thought it do be good to escalate it here
Make sure you bookmark the official crypto websites you use. For example, there are currently ads on google taking users to a fake Loopring website. When you type "Loopring" into Google, do not click on any fake ads. looprlng.org is a phishing website and loopring.org is the correct website.
A glance at the two sites they are similar, but with a difference, the letter "i" in the correct site was replaced with an "l" in the fake site address. Without careful observation, it would be difficult to notice the difference. So always double-check the correctness of the website URL and better still, enter the address yourself instead of searching on Google.
Your Crypto asset safety begins with you.
Protect your assets! stay safe!!
Back to the Patronage
We are already in the 24th week (round) of the Patronage initiative and still going strong. The previous week's beneficiaries were @ThisisGrace21 and @fredyzza07. Both have received the Patronage beneficiary package - subscription, sponsorship, and tips - as much as they have availed themselves. The week has ended and we are in a new week, time to move on to new beneficiaries.
Patronage Week 24 Nomination Result
The nomination round of the 24th week was posted last week and users responded to the call and nominated some users. We received a total of 22 valid nominations.

A lot of users made multiple nominations. For such users only their first nomination was valid, others were void.
In the end, @Janz topped the nominees' list with 6 nominations followed by @kushina with 4 nominations. Congratulations.
My appreciation goes out to the users who made out time to nominate other users. Thank you, guys. You can rest for now until when I come again to announce the next nomination round and I am confident you will answer my call. Thanks once more.
As for me, my work continues. I have to follow the two beneficiaries through the week to subscribe, sponsor them, read and tip their posts with the little amount I could afford to give at the time.
Below are the benefits offered by the patronage initiative to the weekly beneficiaries. The nominators (users that nominated them) are not left out.
Subscriber(s): I will subscribe to the beneficiaries and hopefully, other users will also get to subscribe to them.
Sponsorship: I will send a sponsor offer to both users and it's up to them to accept or reject the offer. Note: You have to activate your sponsor block to be able to get sponsored.
Tips: lastly, I will read and tip up to 7 articles published by the beneficiaries within the week.
Nominators Bonus: The users who participated in the nomination rounds by nominating other users are not left out. Their nomination comment will be tipped by me. Also, those that nominated the users that became beneficiaries of the week will get an extra tip.
A few more things
To encourage users to participate in the nomination round, I will tip comments, especially nomination comments that give reasons for nominating the users.
I will only tip articles written in English. I can't tip what I can neither read nor understand.
The tip amount depends on the quality of your article. And I reserve the right not to tip your articles. As much as I want to support users to publish more, I also want to encourage them to stick to a level of quality which we will all appreciate.
Yes, you can vote for the same users as the user before you. As the more nominations, a user gets, the more his/her chances of topping.
I have to end this here for today. I will return soon, to seek your assistance again in nominating some users for the initiative.
Thank you all for the continuous support.
Stay safe everyone and have a lovely week!!
Love and Support.
COngratulations @Janz and @Kushina :)
