Topic: Is $25 XLM worth your privacy (identify). (Read 10213 times)
@OP Maybe this thread should be closed? The airdrop is long over and the thread seems to become... you know what. :p
Speaking about the ongoing stellar airdrop by blockchain.com which started as a fair one but now requires those interested in the airdrop to pass some KYC procedures, I ask, is it worth it? We complain of Facebook, Google etc of stealing our privacy and possible selling them for profit to other companies and praise blockchain of been decentralized yet we're willing to sell our private details to some centralized organization offering services related to the blockchain technology and we think it's safer? I get it that the bear market has affected numerous newbie that came into the market in 2017 but I ask again is just $25 worth your privacy?
I suspect this moved by them as a deliberate attempt to steal users private details (identify), first they made the airdrop looks so simple and easy thereby deceiving numerous customers into believing they would get free $25 after they have trapped their victim, they then introduce kyc to steal their identity.
Yes. As long as I follow Airdrop, maybe blockchain.com is paying the correct amount as written. And coins that are paid are also not new coins, but coins that are already popular. If we look at Airdrop now, we only see the dollar in writing, but if we sell it does not match what was written. Especially with Airdrop which has no market. So our time is in vain to register.

I do not agree to send your ID for $25, why this company takes our IDs for just $25.
I believe there is something behind this, and i never send my IDs even for $250.
They have new airdrop for Github user, with minimum 20$ worth XLM per participant, and don't require your information. All you had to do is just connect your github account with Keybase software. You can try it.I believe there is something behind this, and i never send my IDs even for $250.
And be careful, Keybase had been hacked too according to this thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/stellar-scam-punycode-keybase-hack-airdrop-fiasco-5186085
This really undermines the credibility of cryptocurrency in general. In fact, blockchain.com wanted to attract as many users to the crypto world as possible through the distribution of free coins. I don’t believe in all this conspiracy thesis, where users believe in a worldwide conspiracy against cryptocurrency holders just by receiving a passport and a photo from them.
its not like its only for crypto you have to send in a passport and photo file to verify your acount, been like this with gambling for along time.
and people act like they are not already tracked on the internet , what will a passport photo show that they dont already know.
Its not worth but it depends on your financial status if you’ll get hooked in this kind of bait. Even if the company airdrop millions of dollars they can still make profit out of the datas they have collected and sold it to highest bidders in the black market.

Its sad but this is what the crypto space has turned to. Forfeiting once data for stipends is completely uncalled for and i wish such giveaways stop occurring in the crypto space. How wish we can go back to the good old days when decentralization was truely at its core..
if you have already have the airdrop and want to convert to Bitcoin on Lightning Network feel free to use my tool: https://kriptode.com/xlmtoln/index.html
For what is worth they don't do kyc but you dox yourself by tying all your accounts there...

I don't see anything wrong with doing kyc for $25, blockchain just have to introduce that simple kyc to stop people doing multiple accounts. Passed the kyc and got my $25 worth of xlm.
I haven't passed and won't pass, because showing my data for the sake of a small amount of money, I think it's pointless, I think, who gave their data in the future will regret

if we talk about privacy, everyday we always share our privacy to big company like google, facebook and other.
but one point we must know, whether the company are trusted or not if we send personal identity to get money from airdrop and other.
if this event come from big company and trusted why we must worry, sorry i'm one of people don't want share personal identity to other but just for sharing with other

I don't think any amount of money is worth giving away your identity for. What I want to know is why do these people want to know who I am so badly? Are they hiding behind an excuse they make just to justify themselves? Will they sell or use this info and just how safe is it exactly. All you end up with is a bunch of people sitting ona whole bunch of ID and KYC documents of random people. Having that info hainng around is not the best idea in the world.
Revealing one's identity for $25 is not worth it. People do not really care about protection of their identity, all they want is some piece of money and they can let the most vital information about themselves. We should try to protect our identity.
There's no amount of money that's worth an individuals privacy reasons being such companies requesting for it, the individual have no idea what their personal data is being used for and as such it isn't worth it.
Stellar and Ripple are not my favorite cryptocurrencies.
Stellar is probably even more centralized than Ripple. Around 90% of all Lumens are hold by top 10 biggest address. So only 10 people own 90% of all circulating supply. Aren´t you scared?
Mind to share up some link? I cant find it when I do tried to make some google research.If 90% of the entire supply does being only held up by 10 address then this coin is totally Stellar is probably even more centralized than Ripple.

BS yet this would be prone to manipulation.
About on topic they already done that airdrop before,i don't know if the said allocated funds been given all or they do just make it a 2nd time around for this one but now its too big allocation on what to be given. Does it really worth for your privacy? Definitely not but rest assured there were still people who would jumped in and collect those pennies.

There is another airdrop done by Keybase and Stellar: https://keybase.io/a/i/r/d/r/o/p/spacedrop2019?utm_source=airdrops.ioutm_campaign=airdrops.io&utm_medium=airdrops.io
But you need Github account or Hacker account created before Sep 9 2019. So if you are lucky enough and you have these accounts you can earn a lot of valuable Lumens.

Your personal information is not worth 25 dollars. It costs much more, but on the other hand, the platform can be understood. It expands the client base and pays for it.
