if it’s not a decent amount of rewards, do not kyc for only $9, this op created back in 2018. at this moment eth gas fee is more than your airdrop rewards.

and i am not agree for kyc to get airdrop tokens. tons of fake and scam airdrops, your personal data may be misused.

I think you misunderstood, OP didn't say that the airdrop is worth 9$, he said that participants has to pay 9$ to get their KYC checked and confirmed, which can significantly reduce the amount of a user claiming multiple times with different addresses, I think it's worth it if you trust that project and their team are not afraid to show themselves to the public.

Comrades, I need your opinion. I signed up for an airdrop from the DFINITY project, which promises to send coins for an amount equivalent to 100 CHF. At the same time, they ask to participants to pay $ 9 for the passage of KYC. It seems to me that this is a fraud, but what do you think?
Can the project require money for the passage of KYC and should I do it?

It is exactly a scam and fraud.
Does the team ask for money in order to pass the KYC process? it is so funny because wherever we are, KYC doesn't need any money and we only need some data. And although it only needs some data, we must be also very careful because we know that it may be also a scam and will use our data for something wrong and we also don't know the privacy and security of the data.
So, be careful.
Moreover, we don't need to send event small money to a team if they really want to give us airdrop.

Doing KYC for an airdrop is definitely a NO No for me because it only takes a rouge team member with malicious intent to capitalize on this very sensitive data and use it illegally.
KYC information are very important and should be protected at all cost, airdrops have no solid reason to try and collect people's personal data, if its not totally free, then its not really an airdrop

Very bad scam project that offers $9 to bypass KYC, basically there is no way to bypass KYC requirements unless you agree to provide your data, even for airdrop programs there are no KYC requirements unless they want to steal your identity. Stay alert and don't be easily tempted to give KYC to get trash tokens.

I think most people avoid doing KYC for airdrop Campaign. I think airdrop KYC is scam.I'm personally ignoring KYC airdrop. I think it Doesn't a real rules for any KYC airdrop campaign. They are just scam.I still cannot believe this type of Airdrop.

This post was long term before even though I want to attach my advice. I couldn't see a single legit project in my bounty join history those asking for money to complete KYC or distribution. Only scan projects are doing the same. Something I didn't submit KYC if dev didn't mention before filled joining form. We should avoid those projects and I found the same thing in this projects.

I have been in the market for a long time and done a lot of bounty and airdrop free projects, but one thing you always remember that the airdrop is free and if you have to spend money on it this is a project fake or scam project to get your money.

As long as I use crypto and participate in various bounty projects, airdrops and others that require KYC for data verification, I have never found a platform to charge for KYC validation. I think it's a scam, it would be better if you avoid such airdrops.

I am not in favour of projects that require KYC as it spoils my privacy. When your personal data is known for many people it is not very good. On the other hand, if you are not against KYC, you can try as 9$ is not too much. Developers need this money to pay for platforms that help to run this KYC, but actually, it is a free procedure for users usually on different centralised exchanges.

More clearly this is a scam, it's better to just ignore it because the airdrop is a free token that is given to us without having to fill in KYC and without having to send some funds for them.

It was all about luck that DFINITY airdrop was distributed to those who decided to pass KYC. Such luck wont happen again. Passing KYC to get an airdrop already looks silly and suspicious. But paying to have your KYC checked is simply stupid. As I understand, it was never know how much ICP would cost and those who passed KYC and paid for that must be rich/lucky/like to risk.

$ 9 is too little for that. however, personally I wouldn't do KYC. yeah, but it's up to you. after all it's too risky and it doesn't necessarily have a price tag of $ 9. think again. if the pay was above $ 100 I might think, but I think $ 9 is too little for a KYC. well, DWYOR.

I contacted support and received a response. If you did not go through identification in 2018, now it is too late to go through it, and nothing can be done about it.

If you just get a small number of dollars from that airdrop, it really doesn't worth doing KYC there. It is also too risky for your personal data, you must consider it as well. Most people avoid doing KYC for an airdrop, most of them are just scams. If you prefer your personal data to that small dollars, you should forget it.

First of all I have stopped partaking in Airdrops long ago for my own personal reasons and secondly, why would I want to pay any thing to pass kyc that I dont want to do In the first place? I might do a KYC for an exchange I really want to use if I feel it is important to me but not for any other thing most especially not for Airdrop and i dont care how much it is. So its a No No for me.

In essence, giving KYC for the Airdrop program is very ridiculous, because there are other things that are more important than Airdrop, so it's not worth giving KYC to any Airdrop program in the crypto space, that's the point, but for popular exchanges like Binance, Kucoin, Gate and Okex I think giving KYC wouldn't hurt.

Just forget to submit KYC for any airdrop. Top exchange doesn't support it. Looks like I directly sell my information to get some rewards or just for scam coins. OP has been here since 2017 even though he couldn't see the real effect of airdropss. Even so many bounty campaigns offered transaction fees from bounty hunters, all are totally scam.

It's funny that the theme of 2018 came to life and replete with new colors. Has anyone received this airdrop?
Apparently, in 2018, I also did not dare to go through the verification procedure, as a result of which I did not receive anything. I wonder if it is still possible to get this drop.

it's not possible anymore to get this airdrop and i have received my free ICP from the coinlist airdrop. I can get a few thousand dollars without doing any work and this will be last until 11 months later. You should have paid only $9 to complete the verification and so many people have received their airdrop.
The biggest reward in the history of airdrop. All coinlist airdrop participants have already received their airdrop as well.

Never give your identity for just an airdrop, don't put to risk your identity for just a small amount of money in return, no one knows if they have something bad intention to your identity, for all the beginners out there, if you have encountered an airdrop which is asking you to give your identity or KYC then ignore it, just find another airdrop that does not requires KYC or the best thing to do find another way to earn money, airdrop for me is not that too profitable because some airdrop only chooses a limited number of persons to be given the reward.

the only airdrops that allowed me to be happy are the ones I attended without knowing it, the Uniswap one was a really great gift.
I have done many on telegram but nothing and I share the advice to pay attention to the KYC.
