To play devil's advocate 11$s could be a lot when in some places! In Indonesia the average monthly wage is like 1000$ iirc

McDonald's? Any entry level position damn near, I dont know where youre located, but its almost impossible to make under a grand a month, how old are you? What are you applying to? How's your work ethic?

Youre gonna have to start cold calling these places, show them you're actually interested in working with them, when you apply do you ever send a follow up email? Im sorry you cant find anything bro, maybe youre having a hard time cause youre only looking for 5$ an hour, can you honestly survive on 5$ an hour? Federal minimum wage is 7.25 an hour, are you applying for server roles? That and delivery drivers are the only thing I can think that pays that low, can I ask why just 5$? Im not very familiar with the Tennessee area as im in indiana and haven't been down south, with your vet experience apply for security guard roles, also thanks for your service sorry it's been tough, have you been in contact with your nearest VA? They might have some resources to help, do you have an unemployment office by you?

They are usually fake coins, and you have to go to a special website to withdraw your coins, and to do so, you have to link your wallet.
Linking your wallet is how they steal your money.

That means the entire linking concept is extremely flawed, because the language does not mean "handle control" so it's extremely insecure.
The entire paradigm must be redesigned from the ground up to make that scam impossible.
You are not getting adoption from the average joe and susan otherwise.

Blockchains have 2 design choices with tradeoffs:
- Allow for native tokens with rigid design that can't easily be used to scam. (e.g. Algorand, Cardano)
- Allow for expressive tokens like ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155 with flexible design, but can easily be used to scam others. (most EVM blockchains)
Most blockchains only offer one or the other. Some blockchains like Tron offer both choices.

The problem might be more 'social' than technological. Eg why are we even promoting the existence of "wallets that approve" to non-tech-savy people when BLATANT scamming and robbery can be supported by them?
At the very least the high level design of any software that reaches the final desktop or phone of the average joe should have mandatory two factor authentication that a simple approval can't pierce through.

Because some people want more features.
It's a tradeoff between more features and more security.
And a tradeoff between centralization and decentralization. When anyone can mint tokens, scammers are going to mint thousands of them daily.
Many newer wallets have security features where they flag spam tokens. But there are thousands of new tokens being minted daily since there's no central authority to approve of minting them. Not all of them are going to get caught by the software. And it's a burden to have to constantly analyze every new transaction for them.
That's the problem with crypto. A few scammers ruining it for the rest of users. And there's no central police to stop them.

Get a block and be gone. Literally wut. Why would advertisers make it harder to scam?
We probably find a scammer here. I would look into /u/GaRGa77 's account.

No one is sending you free money. Sometimes they manipulate the stats to look like it’s ‘worth’ $100+ USD but there’s no actual market or person willing to buy the worthless token, it’s meant to make you think you could financially gain something, research the scam website, and it’s always a scam. I usually ignore them or hide them in my wallet settings.
Many will try to get you to ‘connect’ with your wallet, and then they drain your real crypto.

Nothing is ever free. Its a dusting attack, and when you approve the "free" token in your wallet the smart contract has evil functions that can unlock your wallet and scammers will steal everything. Just ignore them, or remove the symbol from your list so you dont have to look at it and get a false balance. But never approve trading in it.

That means the entire "approval" concept and design is extremely flawed, because at the very least it has no mandatory - or at least spam-suggested - multi-factor authentication.
The entire paradigm must be redesigned from the ground up to make that scam impossible.

It’s a DUSTING attack. DO NOT INTERACT IN ANY WAY! Even to move or sell.
A dusting attack is a malicious contract with hidden functions.
If you even try to approve the contract to even move or sell the token, it can drain your wallet.

It's almost certainly an unsolicited airdrop, which scammers send to lots of wallets. The safest move is to leave it alone: don't swap or sell it, don't approve anything, and don't open any link or site tied to the token, since the usual trap is a fake "claim" or swap page that asks for a wallet approval and drains it. You can hide the token in your wallet. If you're curious, you can check what the contract can do before touching it, and Cymetica's Safe Launch Check reads a token's contract for powers like mint, pause and blacklist and shows live pool depth.
