Topic: Is $25 XLM worth your privacy (identify). - page 19. (Read 10226 times)
For me personally, $ 25 is not the amount due to which I will share my personal data . Despite the seeming harmlessness, this can have very sad far-reaching consequences. But I know that even here on the forum there are a huge number of people who are ready to go for it, even for a smaller amount of money.
some people can sell their doc for even 10 usd, 25 usd is more than a dream for them. personally i wont sell my info for 1k usd also. i million can make me think 
I thought that the Stellar platform itself is the one who are running this KYC for $25 but it's the blockchain.com a centralized cryptocurrency online wallet who recently enabled XLM on their platform. I tried to claim the airdrop from Blockchain.com though but I chose not to continue anymore because they're requiring a live webcam beside a government issued ID and I think it's so against with privacy rights even though they are legitimate ever since its inception and it seems to me that they are acting like a virtual bank now.
The money is too little for me to give out my personal data and even some friends I know that actually did till date haven't recieved and I just wonder what's the need then
for me its not
but i cannot talk about everyone.

Worth or not is depends on individual, I'm sure that a lot of people already pass the kyc to receive $25 xlm, but I think our document and privacy is not only value $25, it's risk to give our identity document to third party, but as i think if rewards value is more than $500 is worth it.
you are correct, in fact blockchain is indeed paying participants airdrop xlm with nominal already set. kyc done problem seems now much of that trouble for tier 2 because verification may be too many people who follow him.

Even if it does, I haven't received those 25$ for my KYC in blockchain.info
Sure, in such nation that has blackouts and terrible crisis, $25 means lots of things.
Doing KYC and get $25 airdropped is much better than what locals have to struggle with their daily lives.

If depends on your personal financial situation and where you live.
There are places in the world, such as Venezuela, where you can live one motnh with 25 USD.
However, in better nations, don't need to be developed or rich ones, I don't think people do KYC for such $25 airdrops.There are places in the world, such as Venezuela, where you can live one motnh with 25 USD.

No, it's not worth for my privacy. That is why I don't join in those programs because I want to protect my identity. Besides that, I heard some news that telling there a group of people who have a large document of the user and they already sold the data in the black market. I don't want to see they sold my identity and I better to be selective to fills any documents in any programs. My privacy worth more than $25 and I don't want to give it for that price.
I rhink it's not worth $25 XLM for you information or submission of KYC but depends on the person if they really need money.
But for me I will not pass my Identity with some money maybe I will pass my Identity if the amount is worth $1000 and Up and for sure most of us will do that.

Many people had shared their details for $25, well, they don't know the necessity of keeping safe your documents. I would never go with this and not even if the reward was $1000+. No one can guarantee the safety of our documents and that our docs will not be compromised.
You do kyc for airdrops of 5$
So what’s the difference ??
Not everyone is doing the same. People are also completing KYC for shit tokens which might or might not have any value. They don't care about their privacy, security. So what’s the difference ??
My identity is precious to me than $25 worth of airdrop, what is the purpose of airdrop that is so difficult for participants to get, what xlm is asking is too much for $25 airdrop hopefully they can make it simpler for more people to take part.
Some of my friends tried this airdrop but it seems suspicious they are not giving airdrop anymore they are just collecting details and this is very alarming what if they steal our account on exchanges they are asking sensitive data and yet they rejected the applications seems like a trap for me. Binance can verify kyc in 24 hours but blockchain process it like 1 month and the result is rejected.
I don't think Blockchain.info don't keep promise to give away $25 for each verified case.It is a big one in crypto, so I strongly believe they will keep giving away $25 for each applicant who got qualified.
I don't join this one, but if the site don't keep promise, drama will come that might destroy all things Blockchain.info built up for years.
I dont even think that my identity will be used for making such an interesting 25$. But if the reward is more than 100$ its worth it.
When I join with airdrop or Bounty that should to fill KYC, I always made a research before, it's mean I'm not easy to give my privacy data to others. And for blockchain.com, I trust to keep my privacy, although I always fail when pass KYC procedure and never received XLM till now.
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.
For me its a big NO thats why i dont trust those KYC without the proper way. My data and privacy is priceless and i wont just exchange it for just $25 worth of XLM never. Thats why dont just fall from those trap and i smell something fishy about it. Blockchain is about decentralization and one of its important feature is the privacy and anonimity be wise and vigilance as always.

I think the kyc issues of the blockchain was just to phish out some fraudulent peeps
And it worked out already and no one had to worry
You do kyc for airdrops of 5$
So what’s the difference ??

I don't know if it's worth or not. But despite the fact that I have been authenticated for months, they still have not distibuted me any.
