KYC for airdrops? That's too much for me, I don't even join bounties that requires KYC not to talk of airdrops, the reward will be low that's certain, giving up KYC in bounties is better than airdrops

If we see that you need to pass KYC to get tokens, you need to stay away from such an ICO as far as possible. In those bounties and airdrops, where the mandatory condition for obtaining tokens was KYC, they ended badly. You need to remember that no tokens are worth giving out your documents to scammers.

people who do that are participants who never think long and don't care about their ID or maybe they use the IDs of people around to do KYC, all will be done to get $5 Cheesy

This is ridiculous if someone gives ID documents just to get $ 5 from Airdrop, if someone doesn't value the KYC document and wants to give it to anyone, then he will be very easily deceived by anyone.

I read this tread, it seems like I've been in that story, HAHA Grin

. this story is very original but only uses the pseudonym wkwk Grin

. This is a lesson for airdrop hunters so that they do not expect too much from the project they are taking part in, because there are indeed many targets that must be achieved by each project. but we must not be discouraged because 4 out of 9 new projects have the potential for investment.

This is very funny and relatable. Exactly the experience of every bounty/airdrop participants. Some would send tokens but won't worth something at the end of the day. Some don't care about what the reward worth, they would submit their ID for any amount. And don't know some of this projects sells KYC to dark web.
The only way forward is if bounty hunters refuses to give their personal details out. I've seen where hunters unite together to oppose an agenda of a project.

Admin: Distribution commence next week
Participants: Good to hear that

after a week:
participant: Thank you team, I already receive the reward. When listing?
Admin: Soon...

Things usually we heard about bounty and airdrop. Totally a waste of time and a lot of broken promises. That been hopeless to have airdrops this time, even we have them but it only stuck in our wallet with $0 in value and we don't know if the project had doing it hard to get listed or it just leaves like that forever. In fact, most of them are abandoned already.

but today's bounty hunters are so happy to sell their personal information for a tiny chance of receiving $5. That's just sad.

That was really a good read and yeah I have to agree that that's what happens almost with all the airdrops. Most of them are fake, some of them fail to reach softcap etc. I do not participate in airdrop now, have an experience with a project who did the same with its participants. I was the telegram moderator although.

Something funny but all is true and sometimes we become fools who still want to follow the team without thinking about anything else. In the past year I joined the project and until now I have not been paid even though the token has been listed in a big market with good price, that cool right. I know its hurt, but we just need to move on.

I know that and it's ever happened with me too. I have been seeing so many scam projects have not been informing the airdroppers about such a condition. They will tell if they were getting failed to reach the soft cap after everything has already ended.

Who can hardly relate to this situation guys? Trust me, I’ve been there a few times already!

I can hardly relate to such situations, because I haven't been participating in any bounties and airdrops ever since they stopped being worth the time you put in them. And back in those days KYC was unheard of, but today's bounty hunters are so happy to sell their personal information for a tiny chance of receiving $5. That's just sad.

I felt stupid when I experienced this once. All the hardworks, time and efforts just wasted because it ended up failed. The project seems to just fundraised money and then decided to end it without thinking that the participants make some efforts to the given tasks for the sake of the rewards.

Well, another project that I experienced was the time where in they postponed the giving out rewards to us like it took almost a year before we received it and funny that we have waited that long to just received small amount of money. Sad but most of them are not legit.

I can only smile reading your story in the opening post, that's what most of the airdrop hunters experienced in this forum.
Indeed this is the reason why airdrops cannot be relied upon as a source of income. And also this is a learning for us all
that never send KYC for airdrops, whose tokens price are not necessarily high. Even 90% of the airdrops that I follow
only give shitcoins.

I was relate on this when I was an airdroper always had no value in return even if they have huge amount of fund that they raised they are going to say that their ICO was not successful and they will not return the investment of every person who invested on their project they easily run.

Quite a nice and insightful narative you drafted out which I'm sure everyone will understand perfectly. This type of scam exist is the latest scam format crypto projects are using of recent, KINGCASINO pull up a similar thing today announcing that they are scam and they've already achieve their aim by scamming everyone involve in this project after claiming to have raised $20m+ during the token sales

This is intimately transparent upon their revelations towards being proud of what they've raised. That's the proof of how rampant the scammers exposed themselves, since being anonymous in crypto is highly abused by these evil doers. Projects that involves a huge amount of money, victimized innocent people and I believed they've learned a serious lessons out of their lost.

It's really saddening for everyone that invested, promote as well play games on their platform. I knew about the project but was skeptical to get involve with them due to the fact that the claimed amount they raised was quite too massive for a project without a reputable team. I think people needs to do more of research works on te's credibility before investing either cash, time and effort

I really enjoyed the writing, from beginning to end.
And the situation that the OP said is actually often felt by me, had done KYC and in the end they disappeared and did not pay. What is regrettable is not the non-payment, but the person who did the KYC. Because we do KYC without the slightest value.

This is how most airdrops look, OP did a good job. It reads like a joke but for many people it's the hell they have to go through before they finally learn .

I can add that the KYC you provide will be used to register scam accounts at other sites and receive some bonuses for completing KYC there. You're literally making money for them by advertising their shitcoin and then again by completing KYC.

Well, that situation is really true. Lot of people who already experienced that. Not only for those airdrop hunters but also those bounty hunters who really work hard just to get those rewards, like joining in a social media campaigns, creating some blog or articles, creating promotion videos, or translation.
Well, those kinds of work are much sick compare to some airdroppers who only fill out the form and wait.

Aside from wasting your time and resources doing all the tasks required, some airdrops require their participants to submit KYC docs like tempting them to submit by offering like $20-30 worth of their tokens. So not only your effort is wasted but your identity is compromised if you believe their promises. That is, bounty hunters should really be careful in those attractive offers. I don't think it is reasonable to submit your personal info for just mere few bucks and without assurance that you will really receive it. I hope users will stop joining these airdrops or these crap bounty programs so these scumbags will stop screwing them.

I like the way you highlighted the events. This has happened so many times in the regular ICO era and there is nothing airdropers can do than to move on. At least the percentage of this kind of event is small compared to the ones that would pay. But this IEO dosent have those kind of challenges but now it's a very hard work to see a better pay.
