for honest people who follow the law this check is not a problem. in the bounty for example, a very necessary thing, because a lot of multiactors. and when they distribute 200k $ it's more profitable to divide them by 300 people than in 2000. At the same time, 1 guy will just go bots 1000 times. I believe that everywhere should enter kyc

Honest people??
Yes but its not safe to provide your id to ico !
Since many people who is in crypto have fraud background! As former fraudsters.
Enough said it should be clear no point for ID.verification.
I made my point .

In an airdrop does not make sense. If you intend to distribute tokens for free, why do you require personal information? It is a risk.

For me it needs to be something insanely good to force myself to pass the kyc for the airdrop, it is hard for me to pass that in the bounty terms, and AirDrop is something so unstable usually...

This is an ingenious idea for stealing identity Smiley. I am sure plenty of people would've submitted to get some free tokens. I am even against doing KYC for ICO. I can always get the token from exchange when it becomes available.
yes, but you buy it, but do not get it for free. I think initially it was conceived as an anonymous currency, but in connection with the mozhenikami and the use for anti-money purposes for money laundering and other purposes forced to do this check

That's right, because it is very unsuitable when taking an airdrop we must fill KYC, especially now that airdrop is a lot of fraud, it could be that one day our personal data can be used for negative things.

Yes is bad for me i don't see any reason for a project requesting for Kyc just for airdrop since the called it a giveaway coin so it does not make any sense at all. Kyc us made for token sale participants. The are the one's that need it not a airdrop.

Ico creators are not stupid.
They know that kyc will make them lose many people who will join without kyc.
I guess thats what they want then.
Ico creators are the most educated people to be honest.
I guess if they lose people just because kyc issue its fine for them.

Really there is a contradiction, the cryptocurrency thought as an anonymous and cheap payment method and transfers of money. But what can be anonymity if our documents ask to provide us? Huh

of course,I understand everything,but I'm not comfortable with the fact that I have to provide my documents, in my opinion, I have risks.

I don't know, the allocation for airdrop is usually very small. It seems that there is no need for KYC, except that the price is so fantastic that it gives you lots of benefits. Remember, there are lots of airdrops that are a scam, you must maintain your identity well, not to be misused by others.

I have recently seen where bounty hunters were asked to present identifying documents.  Am really against kyc because one of the reasons I joined crypto was the anonymity which it provides. But sadly that's gently creeping away.

Now this KYC has come into airdrops. Imagine am to submit my ID to some I don't know which planet he or she or they are from for some pennies worth tokens. 

It's terrible and this is a bad precedence these people are setting.

If as a community we do not say no to this,  then it would become the norm.
Basically any project or service may ask you for KYC and it's your own decision to pass it or not. Airdrop is a coin distribution without any particular obligation, so KYC sounds a bit unequal for it.

I don't like KYC but some projects they need to confirm their customers, so i do KYC. It's good for all of us if their terms are ok from the beginning than who interest they will participate with KYC. I don't join in Airdrop
Its good for all of us Huh
What you smoke to talk this kind of garbage?
If the goverment wants this then why they dont give security that our id-s will be safe and nobody dont use it for criminal actvity?
What is so big deal always to show identety if money is involved, moneyloundring terrorist activity...cmon...its all nonsense! If the kyc then im out of the ico-bullsh..t !
Why we have to make good things always si complicated its headache, why we dont do things stress free!!
Dont cause stress to others dont cause stress to yourself.

Unfortunately, the trend of this procedure is growing stronger and more. Increasingly, I am faced with projects that require proof of identity. And the saddest thing is that in the end, when all the work is done and you are waiting for your payment. And it really upsets me

It seems to me that few people now like KYC. But no one pulls us through, you can just ignore such company bounties and airdrops.

KYC is only good for the legitimate projects and it proves that developers are serious in their platform, this is the reason why some of the projects are successful and gaining more investors in the market.

I in general have a very negative attitude to all kinds of airdrops because I consider them a fraud. But if you still want to get your documents, then they want to deceive you, it's 100 percent.

All right, Kyc is not a necessary detail of any kind of generosity, but the passage is usually announced after the ICO and go nowhere!

Having KYC in any airdrop is not just bad but the worst thing to ever do by the participants.
Unless airdrop token are listed in exchange and the token you will get is a huge amount.
that i might consider but to have it without assurance or getting a token with small value will not a go for me.
You are right, in most cases, the passage of the procedure KYC - does not make any sense, because you get coins, with very low cost, or at all your data will simply be collected for further use. But personally I once passed KYC for airdrop, it was Polymath, and I successfully received my tokens, which had a good value.
