Guys, run from such airdrops! All data from KYC can be sold in darknet. All your documents are for more profit. Or do you think that all airdrops are for non-profit activity only?
Yes, if we simply avoid such projects, it will show that the community is against KYC in bounty campaigns and especially in airdrops. The documents submitted can very easily be used for illegal purposes, we need to fight against this.

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.
I think it's not that bad because we have not been forced to submit identification for airdrop. Since airdrop and their developers have chooses this method I have decided to "do my own research" before submitting any document to anybody on internet.

It's unpleasant, of course, but in most cases the person glows and shakes himself.
Plus, leaks from the organizers of the ICO are also doing things.
And people talk a lot of language or like to brag about their money.
Be careful and pretend you go to work or doing freelance

The airdrops asking for KYC is unnecessary as you are not investing anything, you just want the free stuff.
The airdrops asking for social media tasks, just use a secondary email address for it, for all your important accounts use 2FA and for your crypto coins use a hardware wallet.
There is no need to be worried, there are thousands of people applying and giving away the same information for those airdrops anyways.

Yes, I am also very pissed about that it is now mandatory for many airdrops to register for KYC.

For me it seems more like the projects say it right after they received a lot of buzz or new Telegram members. So many people will not claim or be able to claim their tokens. :/

I can't really take those projects serious. But I haven't seen too many airdrops ask for kyc.

I think, that it is not necessarily for Bounty Hunters or participants of airdrops, because they don't spend any money here, so why they have to provide this informations?

So far I do not know what is the main function of KYC verification. Actually, bounty hunters only do their duties as campaign participants and will receive payment from bounty owners. I never saw bounty participants scam, and that's not possible. So, KYC verification is not for bounty hunters.

Yeah that's true, I see many new airdrops require to fill KYC first before we can claim this tokens/coins. Many airdrops are just worth of pennies and why we should fill KYC ??
That's weird, also I am afraid if my personal data is being misused by irresponsible parties...

It can be time consuming for some but I think somehow it is good. There are many people who apply for a single airdrop multiple times so to save that, I think KYC is a good option. I’m still a bit sketched out by the passport requirement.

If an airdrop asks me for KYC documents, I nope right out of there.This is very risky because we do not know the credibility of the people whose making airdrops ! KYC procedures for airdrops simply are not acceptable - its a nonsense!
It is really very bad that developers implement KYC for Airdrops. It seems to me that only fraudulent companies do this. I do not trust companies that are asked to go through the procedure of the UCJ, because my documents may find themselves in the hands of thieves.

KYC for airdrops? I will never do it. It's ridiculous to ask bounty hunters for documents to get some shitcoins. It's too risky and i don't know why they need it for airdrops...This is a very sad trend.

I participate in one airdrop like that and got the information that I must submit my KYC details before I can receive my rewards.. Where as, the token is just peanut..
I don't really buy the the idea of introducing KYC into aidrop

You are correct. Why for such a very small amount of money the airdrop participants have to do kyc when it is not even worth several thousands? Imagine if your identity will be stolen to used for bad intentions. I would say millions isn't even enough to pay for involving you on an activity or a crime that could damage your reputations and that could even put you in jail.

bounty and airdrop is something else. If you are doing bounty and you're requested to do KYC, it makes some sense. But if you're asked to do KYC for airdrop coins, I would be very concerned about that, surely wouldn't recommend anyone to do it, as it might be scam attempt.

Dude if they are asking for KYC for free airdrops then you should downright reject it.Mostly they are collecting to the information to sell it off to somebody and it could be darknet too.

I think the most people are activating KYC to make sure that nobody abuses airdrops any more. I think there are a lot of multiclaimers in airdrops and KYC is a good way to kick them out. But yeah you are right, its sucks to submit a KYC so some pennys.
Yes I agree with you, i think  KYC for airdrop to avoid a lot of multiclaimers, so the airdrop is more evenly distributed for a one person.
