Topic: Is $25 XLM worth your privacy (identify). - page 7. (Read 10237 times)
If any unknown company conducted this airdrop, then of course it would be better to miss this airdrop and forget about it altogether, but since this airdrop spends xlm along with the blockchain, then personally I think that these companies can certainly be trusted.
It can be worth if the value of XLM increases a lot. But it all depends on you. If you have already pass some other KYC, your identies are maybe already everywhere.
But if you don't believe in the XLM coin, don't do it.

Ridiculous, some people are spending tens, even hundreds of thousands of bucks per year to guard their privacy while there are those who are almost ready to sell themselves for miserable $25. It is funny, but OP is making it work.
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.
maybe I agree with you for me 25 $ to sell your identity is very meaningless to them it is a good thing because they could just misuse our identity for their benefit, so I advise others not to sell your identity for something that is not worth 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.
privacy is hard to come by these days, i even get personal ads on things i never search for online every just talking about with my friends, like the other day i got a ad for a cigarett brand i only smoked during my time in bali, and now these adds are popping up everwhere its insane. so im not that worrierd about some kyc process.
That´s what I am saying...

$25 is not but when I did this they offered $50 which I gladly took. Guys, in the end it is not like any of our data is not available to governments etc if they want to... we are transparent!
I see that people have divided opinions on this, but my answer is no. Just imagine that if you will do it, in the future, the regulatory authorities will be able to tie together all your crypto wallets and accuse you of tax evasion in the amount of tens of thousands of dollars or even more. When this will happen and you realize that it's because you once received $ 25 a long time ago, it will not seem like such a good deal to you.
Yeah, we constantly go through this procedure for much less money. According to the extreme measure here we can be sure that our data is under reliable protection.
Nobody forces you to go through this procedure, but as I personally consider it a great opportunity to get a top beginner cryptocurrency and start earning money from it, but believe in our personal information on the Internet for a long time.
Very identity to get $ 25 XLM I think it's not worth it and we don't know what purpose that blockchain uses that information to. I think the crypto market is developed because it has good identity security features compared to using actual banks. So I advise you not to sell personal information for only $ 25 and not clear its intended use.
The $25 doesn't worth one divulging his identity for , but just like you pointed out, people especially the newbies could be rushing it due to the present market condition.
Though $25 means a lot to some people.

If I we're them I'm not hoing to give my identity no one knows what are they going to do with our identity specially it was to cheap 25$ for your identity? how about your security are secured after you gave them your full information specially they didn't accept ordinary ID .

I wouldn’t give my privacy for just 25$ . At first it wasn’t so but they noticed people are taking it for granted by trying to claim multiple times. This is the reason why kyc was introduced. My fear is just about loss f data to hackers when there is breach or leakage to their system. Now kyc is the order of the day almost everyone wants their your details.
You are paranoid. Do you think that nobody has such informations about you? Come on, google and facebok know more than you can even imagine. So, yes, 25$ is enough to send someone photo of your driver license to a real and regulated company.
Yes, but on the trash air drop we run to give our passports. All very difficult. Who needs these $ 25 can easily take them away. Who does not want can incognito everything is simple.
$25 might not mean much to a lot of folks but some would be ready to take the plunge just to earn that little hoping that their private documents don't get exposed to the prying eyes of hackers
I don't think a very respectful website like blockchain.com will sell our identity to other party. KYC on that site purely to ensure that you are really human and you have no chance to cheat their events by using multiple account to claim Stellar. It's all normal for me, but it doesn't mean I will always join any airdops from other platforms. Only trustful platform!
They don't necessarily have to sell our identity, the only thig hackers need is a leak in the system and all our personal informations all lost. We are talking about a lot of people's identity here and I'm pretty sure hackers will be staying close to this since they could optain a lot of identities they could use for different illegal activities.
$25 airdrop is absolutely not worth with our identity. It is different when it comes to exchanges that require KYC for its customers. Ones must submit identity in order to be able to trade and withdrawal in certain amount of cryptocurrencies. Nevertheless, data leaks may possible happens to any exchanges and every system has its weakness so I think it is a consequence for any circumstances. But again, KYC for airdrop worth of $25 is unreasonable.
Each person decides for himself whether or not to pass kyc procedures.. you can use a false identity as an option
