Topic: KYC for Airdrops: A bad precedence - page 19. (Read 198064 times)
I believe that the KYC should pass all as an investor and bounties. If people create a good product and want to make themselves known seriously and for a long time.
I find KYC really risky about AD. With our identity documents, people can do whatever they want.
It's a fact that many AD are just scams, I don't mind giving a tweeter or facebook account dedicated to it, but my real identity is out of the question (even if sometimes it's a serious project, since I can't be sure I'd rather not do it at all)

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.

People should never have allowed KYC into cryptocurrency at all. Now, almost every ICO is requiring it and not just airdrops. 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.

KYC for airdrop is both great and awful. The good thing is that this will decrease the quantity of tricksters and the utilization of multi accounts. The awful thing is that we trust our information to outsiders and don't enlist how these information will be ensured. Hence, it is difficult to judge here unequivocally, however I'm still more slanted to surmise this is awful.
If you fill out a KYC for an airdrop you really have hit rock bottom on both a crypto level and a personal level. If your so desperate to secure a worthless token your willing to send your papers over the internet to strangers then your already in the world of hurt. Go ahead and take that chance and see how it ends up. None of these projects should ever ask you do do something as risky as this.
I would not participate in airdrop in which ask KYC, some nonsense ...I don't understand why they're asking you to go through it.
This is the policy of the ICO projects to limit cheating, previously ICO projects do not have KYC. Currently more and more projects require KYC, this is not good. The bonus from the airdrop was too small, adding that KYC participants would not like the project
I agree? that the KYC for participation in the airdrop is an extra procedure. It only causes doubts. I do not participate in such airdrops.
I'm extremely reluctant to do KYC at first for I'm concerned that they may utilize my points of interest to trick others.I have done some KYC in my past bounties effectively just on the off chance that I have a not too bad stakes however before doing KYC I tried to examine about the group and the engineers of the project.And about airdrop KYC I haven't experienced an airdrop requiring kyc yet in the event that there is, I wont chance my character uniquely if the task haven't set up a name that could be trusted.
You have actually spoken the Truth OP. A great fact far from being fallacy. The essence or Significance of this KYC for common Airdrops with little or mere Tokens rewards must be duly cubed and Checkmated. It is very much irrational to me as well.
If there are good airdrops it will better KYC process for those. Because these days scammers are everywhere. They stole the details form spreadsheet too. so if there is a KYC process everyone can earn fairly

Yes, if it's for Airdrop, I don't think beginners are often victims of this, but if it's for exchange, we can't reject it, because that's one reason for several exchanges to prevent people from doing undesirable things.Now this KYC has come into airdrops.

I never send my passport photo or selfie with it to projects which give airdrops. I think there is a big chance that this projects are scam.

Yep, I am also against it. But it is done because some people create different accounts and get more money. But still I don’t like it.
I don't like KYCs for AD at all. I think a lot of them are scam (but not all of them 
), it doesn't bother me if they get my account info like tweeter, facebook (because I created some especially for AD). By giving real information on the other hand (like a copy of identity papers for example), I don't agree.
Malicious people can do many things with this information, I prefer to prevent them (plus I don't see any reason why they should ask to do it if it's to send the equivalent of $5 or $10 coin, it doesn't make any sense)

I also strongly disagree with KYC's existence in some Airdrops. If Airdrop is worth thousands of cents, I might consider it normal. But the cheap and useless price of Airdrop is very outrageous.
Of course I am against KYC for AIRDROP.
Of course I am against KYC for AIRDROP.
I have never wasted my time before doing KYC for common airdrop that may end up being fake or shit reward of as low as $0.10 , I am not comfortable with the KYC stuff at all.
Well, if you ask kyc in airdrop I don't pass , is too great a chance that your documents will then walk around the Internet , but the bounty is not so much is distributed to the public
why is it so difficult to participate airdrop, whereas most token airdrop results are not too much.
