If KYC is compulsory for investors, it may also be mandatory for bounty hunters. I don't know why people get mad at this.

This type of change in rules do often happen.

And there's no way to stop this if they are the ones who are running these bounties. A bounty manager that has integrity would save your time from avoiding these type of bounties that suddens requires KYC when the bounty is about to end.
But the problem is they were charging the bounty participants to do KYC 1 week before the bounty ends. That's is the problem.
I think you haven't understand my point.

Yes, I know the problem and I'm aware that this is one of your concerns as a bounty hunter because I've seen someone complains about this before. And my suggestion is choose a bounty manager that is firm and reliable with such ruling of the bounty he's managing and won't have this sudden change prior to the end of the bounty.

I would not consider such a thing fair, but the bountie operators themselves set the rules and can change them at any time. Therefore it is not a scam, but an ugly thing for the bountie participants. I would probably be angry, too, because i do not want to do kyc, but unfortunately you can not do anything about it.  Sad

GOLDMA started their bounty campaign in April, and then 1 week before the end (in October) they said they require full KYC meaning:

- Proof of address
- Government issued card
- Selfie holding the ID

Is there any ICO requiring such information from bounty hunters?! To me this is a SCAM to get private details and sell on dark markets. Imagine what they can do with such information! I have never seen anything like this, be careful of these scammers from GOLDMA.

Has anyone experienced something similar from other bounty?

*edit* It stated first that NO KYC REQUIRED FOR BOUNTY, this changed 1 week before the end

Oh, the worst thing that it happens not with bounties only. I mean that sometimes project teams allow people to invest without KYC, but to get your tokens you have to undergo it!

I know it is unfair but it doesn't mean that it is scam necessarily , They should have asked KYC at the beginning or said that they would ask for KYC later , I don't like KYC either but some bounties do that to reduce duplication and scams , Still they cant stop it 100% even with KYC!

Started campaign on April and still not finished? It sounds very strange, so I did not get surprised because of unexpected KYC, which had appeared on horizon.

In April there were several ICOs that had used pretty the same trick: they offered good profits and completely anonymous investments and then there were a KYC.

Classic movement. Sometimes such call is made under the pressure of investors, who already passed KYC and want it to be passed by bounty hunters.

If the bounty manager suspects a lot of cheating in their campaign, they have the right to request KYC, and your choice is KYC or give up. Maybe it will make you uncomfortable and take time but no other way. There are many bounty requests for KYC and I find it very normal

indeed it is very risky to give all of our personal information to someone we don't know but here if we don't do KYC then we will never get a payment and we will work in vain Cry So what should we do? I'm just a bounty hunter who always wants tokens for free  Embarrassed

There are a lot of scam coins and we need to know about that and to learn how to tell them apart in order to save our money and business.

I am not surprised by such a thing, because I often find the same case ico project. and almost on average currently ico always includes KYC for prize hunters. You don't need to say it's a scam. like it or not if you don't do it in other words you won't be rewarded.

I am not familiar with this company, but I think the requirement to provide documents to the participants of the bounty is a normal practice, so many do. So I don't think we should worry about that. I myself have repeatedly sent my data for the KYC procedure and everything was fine. And even if our documents fall into the hands of scammers, most likely they will not be able to do anything with them

I do not think that this is a sign that this bounty is a scam or bounty manager scammed bounty hunters, he didnt know it, team changed their opinion about bounty KYC.

If they announce KYC after the bounty ends. Well I think they are a scammer, and do not want to distribute to the bounty hunter. KYC is not bad, but it must be given when launching the bounty. You should give it up and do not KYC to ensure the safety of your personal information

This is happening more and more.
Projects hope hunters won't read the new rule or will be too lazy to comply.
That's less people for them to pay.

 Yes anonymity in crypto is now gradually changed because of many ICO's are now asking KYC, maybe due to some issue like multiple accounts in one person in which clearly illegal and I don't think a scam at all or being used in a bad purpose because there is no such report about this, I'm sure if there is then KYC will be stopped immediately.

Be careful now many scam projects, they seem to have very good projects. but after they get investors and are not responsible. they don't care how people help him in his project
nowadays there are indeed more unclear projecks that even aim to cheat if we are a bounty hunter, so you should be careful in following the available projeck
