Greetings, I am trying to implement a script with the AlgoSDK that creates a lot of NFTs (a collection) as standard assets and I want to airdrop the assets to the accounts.

So

- I created the main account on test net and funded it with some algos
- I created an asset with an amount equal to 5 and decimals 0
- Now I want to send these 5 assets to 5 different addresses

I create these accounts with the apposite SDK function but when I use the transferAsset function to send form address1 to one of the new created accounts, I get this error:

```auto
(node:10803) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: {"message":"TransactionPool.Remember: transaction OBGW2J4KNZLWOJRWTFX6EX3GNA5NSK5YZNW727GBQM2R6ALM4NTA: overspend (account GXMR6Q2E33PMUCSYYMG5B7OZWTR54W4PSXUH455Y34E67UAIGKDJS4Q3JY, data {_struct:{} Status:Offline MicroAlgos:{Raw:0} RewardsBase:0 RewardedMicroAlgos:{Raw:0} VoteID:[0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0] SelectionID:[0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0] VoteFirstValid:0 VoteLastValid:0 VoteKeyDilution:0 AssetParams:map[] Assets:map[] AuthAddr:AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY5HFKQ AppLocalStates:map[] AppParams:map[] TotalAppSchema:{_struct:{} NumUint:0 NumByteSlice:0} TotalExtraAppPages:0}, tried to spend {1000})"}

```

I found out that, to receive an asset, an address must have at least 100,000 microAlgos.  
It makes sense to prevent from fake data usage, but can be a limitation in case of airdrops, is this true?

What is the best solution to the problem?  
Supposing to send 10k / 20k assets during an airdrop, is the best thing to do:

- To fund each of the receiving addresses with 100,000 microAlgos
- To opt int each of the accounts to receive the asset
- Then to receive the asset

Is this correct?  
Thanks in advance for the help.
