I am holding Gbytes since a very beginning but don't want to expose myself and verify identity. Will I receive?
Where is the announcement of these extra 10% Bytes for KYC, I can't find anything about it on Medium ot the Byteball website? That means I have to do this Jumio KYC thing if I want the extra Bytes? I thought that's only for Referral rewards.
From
https://byteball.org/:
Part of the Bytes will be distributed as cashback for purchases at the merchant stores we partner with. In most cases, the offered cashback is 10% of the purchase amount. Fill out the application form or contact us if you run a store or a payment processor and want to be part of the cashback program.
Another part of the distribution is split into multiple rounds and in each round holders of BTC and Bytes are rewarded. The amounts you receive are proportional to your proven balances in BTC and Bytes on the distribution date, these are the rules for the November round:
For every 16 BTC you receive 0.1 GB (1 gigabyte = 1 billion bytes),
For every 1 GB you receive additional 0.1 GB.
To prove your balances, install the wallet and chat with the Transition Bot (you find it in the Bot Store in the wallet). The bot will help you link your Bitcoin and Byteball addresses by making a micropayment or signing a message.
You also receive blackbytes in proportion to your linked BTC balance and your balance in Bytes on the linked Byteball address.
The first distribution round took place on Dec 25, 2016 when the network launched, over 70,000 BTC was linked, and 10% of the total supply of bytes and blackbytes was distributed. In the subsequent rounds, the total distributed supply reached 64.5%:

The 11th round is tentatively scheduled for the full moon of March (Mar 2, 2018 at 00:51 UTC). The balances will be snapshotted at the time of the first Bitcoin block after this date, and rules for this round are as indicated above. Depending on the progress of other distribution methods, this round can be postponed or even canceled.
If you hold, you will receive 10%. No matter if your address is attested or not.
