People who are asking the future for few bucks truly deserve this kind of action. Even many bounty managers doesn't mention about the requirement to get the rewards at the time of creating the bounty they only say this information after the bounty campaign finished and token distribution is going to happen. We can't Stop this from bounty site so all we have to do is just save us from abuse even if we are not going to get those rewards

I remember this kind of enormous case bounty/airdrop with required KYC around 2017 bull run which even trash bounty or airdrop required you to pass KYC to get your rewards. Most of the airdrop forms before are using google form with enabled "must sign-in" before filling the form, then it's easy for them to farm different email addresses.

Thanks for these.
The question remains, why can't kyc be stopped?
Because right now from what I've learnt today, even if a project is legit, they may still be selling their participants identities to the dark market. How can all this be stopped. Not everyone knows of this. I mean I that have been in the Crypto business for 2 years is just knowing about this now, what about the rest?

When reading this information, I also fear that personal information obtained from bounty will be used similarly like this.

Don't be stupid and think, why someone wants all the scans of your documents and if it's wise to send them to a stranger.

I'm always careless about things like this, I always believed that once I trust a project then running their kyc isn't supposed to be a big deal, but looking at this now. I'm highly enlightened. I didn't know they way harsh implications like this. Although I never did kyc for airdrops.

This is generally a good advice but I think this option may apply to some bounty campaigns that are worthy but in a case to case basis. The trick is to find some suitable bounty campaigns thru research and has justified the use of KYC for their bounty. With regards to airdrops, I think its more risky and is not necessarily needed most of the time.

I agree and I am tired of people arguing that KYC prevents duplicate accounts in bounties. The problem is that projects obtaining these sensitive documents is ripe for abuse. These documents are valuable and can be used for criminal or terroristic activities. It is time for people to take a stand against excessive KYC.

I don't do KYC ON airdrops only on legit campaign and exchange, and about email, I just marked it as spam once an email was marked spam all the succeeding emails will go to the spam folders and if 10 or more people marked it, Gmail will just mark it spam and restrict or even ban that email sender.
Same here . I dont also do a kyc on an airdrop or on a bounty but even on ico , exchange , gambling site or anything that requires a kyc i wont do them all because i dont have the required id for a kyc but i do give my email because that is their requirement in order to verify your account and recieve important updates . If they spam you can just mark them spam and that will fix the problem .

We need to think about our security in sending the document to them, and we don't want to get bad things that might happen in the future. When the document was sent on the internet, then they can free to use our document to any purposes that they want, and I think they will not take responsibilities if somehow the data was stolen by other hackers and then it sold in the dark web. We need to prevent this by not sending any document if the program or the projects were not reliable, and they cannot protect the data.
June 11, 2019, 01:55:40 AM
Sincerely, one has to check it real well, now because right from time, giving out sensitive information details about one self carelessly can come back and hurt one to the marrows. There have been cases of people who have been declared wanted just because a crime was committed using these documents. I'll rather earn some few bucks rather than enter serious problems from my careless attitude.
June 11, 2019, 01:44:18 AM
It's madness that people give away their personal details for just a few worthless tokens, if they really want to make money a better option would be to sell their own ID on the dark web themselves
June 11, 2019, 01:22:24 AM
Passing your personal data to unknown persons is the most recent thing. Anonymity for me is in the first place and I will never pass the KYC procedure with my documents. E-mail can still provide, phone too, as there is a mail and phone number that I do not use. I can only provide my documents to the Bank, but I will never do it on the Internet. This is stupid. what a man can do. After all, it is not known what will happen to these documents later.
June 11, 2019, 01:17:09 AM
Thank you for all your suggestions in this review, very useful. For me KYC is something very important, and very careless if given without clear business. My question is, what about someone or many people who have already shared KYC that might have been very long? Of course it will be regret. Thank you in advance sir.
June 11, 2019, 12:51:06 AM
Yup, I am always careful with this, I am also a person who works in marketing so I understand the issue of mailists, where marketers hunt mailists that are suitable for market share and targeted. Even worse if it really is sold illegally, therefore I have never used a primary email address as a condition of joining bounty, airdrop or something like that.
My advice is for others, always use a separate email and never use your primary email address to be published, it's your privacy and only certain people you can tell.

Thanks for the information. To be exact, I am always against providing any personal details and documents in the name of bounty or airdrop. My point is why such thinks like KYC details are required for a firm. And who is responsible for misuse of our personal data or details? If these things are guaranteed, then it is okay. Otherwise not.

There is this 10 minute email 10minutemail.com that you can use. It is temporary and it is disposable, that's how they describe themselves. You can use this when you just need to give an email address to verify something like if you register to a new site, buy tickets. Although, there are sites out there that doesn't allow such use of email and wan'ts email coming from a personal domain.
https://protonmail.com is also the place to create good junk mail. You can refer to it. I think even big Facebook guy sells personal data. ico projects they forced KYC users to manage, but they actually used other things like selling data or manipulating votes ...

There are many ways of verifying the identity of a person. The ICO, bounty and airdrops are collecting the personal identities illegally and selling them in the dark market.
That's why I'd rather talk to the bounty manager personally in a video call but never provide my personal documents.

I hear you, dude. I have multiple throwaway e-mail addresses and don't often give any of them out when asked--and all of the spam I get on my gmail account gets routed very efficiently to my spam folder. Gotta hand it to Google, they've at least done that one thing very nicely.
Amazing to me that people actually make money with mailing lists like that these days. I remember in the early days of the internet if you got targeted for spam, your inbox was toasted indefinitely with ads for Viagra alternatives, penis enhancement, Nigerian prince scams, and all that bullshit that I thought would have been archaic by now. Apparently not.
But as far as giving away any KYC info to these bounty people, SCREW THAT. Most of them are at least as bad as any scammers you'll come across online, so there's no way anyone ought to be providing their real info to any of them. You might as well put up all your dox on the darkweb yourself.
