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.

I checked in blockchain.info and now they are asking for doing camera appearance to do KYC they do not accept uploading of documents now, this is very risky, but we cannot blame people some of these wants easy money without thinking of the consequences.

Not at all. It is not worth it. Why would any one risk his or her data because of $25. There could be more to it, making people release their privacy and they receive a token of $25 worth. it looks suspicious. People should be careful on how they expose their privacy.

No. personally for me, it's not. I mean, privacy protection is the motivation behind most blockchain projects anyway. Really there'd be no much difference between the blockchain and the internet if our data is open and can be traced back to us on the blockchain. Data security is one of the things blockchain aims at bringing. I don't know why XLM asked for KYC. Maybe it's just to confirm that it's real users doing the airdrop. But If the aim of the KYC (hence the airdrop) was to steal the data of users, then shame on XLM

I stay away from any airdrop that require my personal data, even if it's a platform with a good reputation in this particular case.

In general, it doesn't worth to take a risk in such situations. Blockchai.com is an old figure in crypto business models and so many people started their journey from their wallets. It was made very easy for Average guy who has no idea how to make a transaction and open wallet. In my opinion, it will be worth to join the airdrop and get the $25 for passing KYC.

KYC is done by retarted people. Just ask yourself, would you give away personal data to a stranger in real life? I hear 100% NO.
Do KYC only for fiat transfers from exchanges, where it's requested by government laws.

Personally, our privacy isn't worth to be exchanged for any amount of money. And those people who claimed the XLM is either a hacker or does not care about the value of privacy. Actually, it is triggering me how actually some users have participated in the 'giveaway', and the situation of the cryptocurrencies spaces in general. I mean it doesn't hit the decentralized, and privacy things who has built in the nature of Bitcoin.

KYC on blockchain * com is very difficult compared to other places where the level of acceptance of KYC is also very small, this can be a reference that our data will be fine and not misused

I myself can already get away with Kyc on the blockchain and get the airdrop coins. it's not difficult, it only takes a long time, maybe because too many are registering now. but if it's not wrong there is a limit to the amount of airdrop, is it now fulfilled?

It's pretty strange that such a big website like Blockchain is asking for KYC just for an airdrop but I think they have a serious reason for that and it is probably to reduce the number of people who are cheating. The difference from other aidrops is that here you get a coin that is already listed on the market and you know for sure the tokens you will receive actually worth something so they want to be sure they don't waste money on people who are trying to cheat. I saw that aidrops right in the first days when it appeared but didn't give it that much attention because my identity is just not worth 25$

I just want to tell that i got my 25 USD on my blockchain.com wallet (cellphone) with just an email verification.
I am just wondering why there are so many people talking about the identity, email can be created with fake entries.

Yeah, you are right. personal data is very important and valuable data. It's a pity if I only get $ 25 XLM by submitting My personal data instead. Yeah I think, I will not give my personal data just to get a little money.

I think if I won't give my personal data on blockchain.com to get airdrop $ 25 XLM, then I also will not give my personal data for airdrop and also bounty campaigns.

What if the bounty reward is large and you follow the campaign there, are you still not going to provide your data?

It's the same as on the blockchain if a large transaction requires an identity KYC.

This is not worth my privacy, such a flimsy amount and many people are still saying that they didn't receive after submitting their details and I laugh at them. Anyways people have their needs and maybe that's why they could submit their details for such a flimsy amount

Our personal details should be always kept personal. And by the way, keep in mind nobody will give you somethign as a gift.. if they send you 25$ in tokens.. is because they can profit form your data in a bigger ammount!

Your data in the darknet (from different sources) sold for$1.25$ that's too cool.I stopped worrying about KYC because I have already sent my documents to scammers 1 time.blockchain.comdo not look like scammers and I have repeatedly used their services.Therefore, do not panic. No one forces you to go through this procedure.

I am not surprised to see this post because I know there are lots of people with phobia about kyc. It's not mandatory to do kyc and yes it worth doing kyc for the airdrops to avoid cheaters. But for your information, they didn't do kyc because of that. I did kyc because of its exchange

did I hear you say that your personal data will always remain personal? You are wearing faba signature which means you are doing its bounty. And they required kyc from their participants. So tell me, did you upload a fake ID for them or are you doing the bounty for free?

I feel somewhat disappointed with blockchain on this. Why requesting the KYC? Also, I believe for them to be offering $25 as payback for the KYC means they also have a sort of monetary or material profit to make with those KYC information or documents. That is where I am more curious about their trick.

it was clear that they did tricks like that for their personal needs later, for what later but I felt the data from KYC could be misused by them. the lure of $ 25 is very pleasant for those who have done this. I prefer not.

You cannot compare giving your KYC to an exchange and wallet to some shittoken/coin to get a worthless coin to probable scammers that will sell your data in a dm.
blockchain.info (now .com) been my wallet for 5 years of bitcoin since I left the desktop wallet and now they even offer swap and exchange services, KYC with them as intermediaries doesn't sound bad at all to me.

Agree, they have reputation, I using blockchain for years for smaller amounts of bitcoins first and later for all other coins they added. I did kyc and I will get my $25 stellar, nice amount of stellar if you ask me and only thing you need to do is to do a simple kyc. They just dont wish to give $25 to all accounts, how many people have double and triple accounts. Nice gesture from blockchain, and probably nice way for all the people to get some crypto if they didnt by now, for almost free.

If you like me been using the wallet for 5 years seemed obvious that i would eventually do the kyc to trade between eth/btc, i hate bch however.
Also thank to blockchain I researched XML thing i haven't done in the past and I seen that it actually worth something, thing that driven me to buy it after i sold.
