for me registration has completed successfully, hope I may get airdrop tokens by Feb 1st week

It's 10 Feb and still not receiving any tokens even i successfully completed the verification ID. From where you got that date that it is not mentioned in their official channels?
Even the project is professionally managed but i didn't watch any good rate of it in the sites that rate projects. They collect a lot of personal information and people start thinking about a scam attack.

If you don't have your POLY yet, then I'm guessing you didn't get into the first 40k people, who were the ones eligible for that airdrop. There were LOTS of people who joined after the 40k. Chances are you maybe one of them.

OR... you didn't signup correctly, gave wrong info

OR... you didn't pass KYC.

For me, I got my POLY over 10 days ago.

As for the people calling SCAM on this... did you read/watch any of the materials available? It has solid backing. As for the delays, did you realise it was the KYC-providers system that failed to cope with 40K eager applicants at pretty much the same time.

For people complaining about KYC... welcome to the new world of crypto regulations, particularly for US-based companies. Get used to it, or avoid them.

And they were free FFS. Stop whining people!

Hi, I have it from a fried who partially worked for them: don't invest into it, as the developer team is amateurish. So just a heads up here.

Could you be a bit more specific? What do you mean by saying anateurish? What did your friend do for POLY? So far it seems to me that everything was handled quite professionally.

there are many ICO and airdrop KYC verification already available. Maybe I'm too relaxed. However, I did not encounter any harm. I won $ 300 and I do not regret it.

It’s just terrible. There are so many skams and hacker attacks + all these collapses of coins and an incomprehensible situation with the Chinese regulation of the market. Many who leave the crypt, but all this is not for weaklings!

I also got my tokens and am really happy to be part of this project. I understand that KYC can be frustrating for some but it seems to me that Polymath really just tries to comply with regulatory requirements here.

Don't waste your time with these amateurs.

They super hyped airdrop got everyone excited. First they delayed the release of their KYC instructions. Then they took the KYC site down for two days while they "cleared a backlog." They've brought it back now, but they changed the rules. Half the people who signed up are being told their wallet addresses are not registered. And now you can only complete the KYC process by submitting a copy of your passport (drivers licenses and/or other government IDs will no longer be accepted).

Many of us spent hours trying to get approved for the airdrop. I know I did. What a huge waste of time!

I hope this project fails. These guys are real scumbags. Stay away!

I understand your disappointment, but I think you're exaggerating, since most of my friends got their tokens, as they promised. But cases with verification of KYC are quite common both in ICO and in airdrop.

WILL SKYPE CHAT FOR 3 MILLION COMPOUND COIN

Actually I keep seeing "ICO VIDEOS AND ICO THIS" but it says on their twitter they DO NOT HAVE AN ICO so whoever is out there with the ICO for this group is stealing.

Airdrop? It appears you would have had to submit by Jan 10 to be eligible. For now it looks like new people are SOL.

I keep seeing their telegram spammed like crazy but reading the comments shows that people are just asking questions with no answers.

This almost reminds me of a club that has a huge line going around the block yet the club is DEAD inside. The fees for entry is around $100 to get in and the music is terrible. lol

Still the marketing plan is genius because all of those people are sitting in that Telegram waiting for scraps to fall their way.

Besides I'm in U.S. so I wouldn't be able to participate in an ICO anyways.

I think the purpose of the KYC should be to prevent people from receiving airdrop more than one time, but if the number of airdrop coin is very small, it is not worthwhile to KYC.I will continue to keep an eye on this thing, because I joined this project's airdrop too.

Did you or anyone calculate what exactly is the value of the airdrop? Because going through the whore harassing KYC torture has a cost too - in terms of lost time, and we should really judge if it is worth it or not.

It's a scam for hyping the crap out of this thing, keeping 50,000 people waiting and hanging on their every word, and then making last minute changes so that hardly anybody will actually be able to participate. Maybe it's not a scam in that they are not stealing from people, but they are up to something. And even if they aren't, this trainwreck doesn't inspire confidence in the company.

I have to admit that it does not look good. It has a huge telegram group, but it is not organic, is just adoption paid with theoretical coins that are never reachable. Never send a passport without some mark on it.

I also agree with you. It was really a bad project, I studied it and I felt that the project was very unreasonable and unrealistic. The communities they have set up are few and far between and are not the developers of this project. Be careful because such projects often do not work well.

I doubt they are scam. It's one of the many Airdrops that actually are successful, they have tens of thousands of followers on telegram.

Thank you for this info. I'm just new here and now I know some Airdrop like this exist, where the goal is to scam people.

I'm glad I was able to get here, now I will make sure check for a lot of reviews before joining in on any promotions ^_^

im no way a polymath shill, i just signed up to recieve the free airdrop (basically free money, turn it down if u want) but if u read through this thread u will see the only folks moaning are them who couldnt manage to/or didnt want to register, why listen to a couple of fudsters when theres free cash sitting right in front off u

research the polymath token and they're team then come back here with an honest opinion bud, you wont be slated for it as at least u will have made up your own mind instead of listening to the trolls or the shillers

cheers

Good point, I will keep that in mind. basically I let other people experience first then check their review. its better to be safe specially that I'm just starting in the BTC business ^_^. but thank you for that insight.

nice post bud, dont get me wrong ive bought/or not bought on peoples posts, but at the end of the day u have to do a bit of research then trust ure brain and your gut feeling, dont jump in heavy, bit at a time and u be ok

stop your whinging man just cos you missed out on your 250 tokens, to call it a scam cos u couldnt or didnt want to register is like listening to a child telling his mummy he hates her cos she wont give him a drink of fizzy juice or similar lol

kyc is pretty much the norm nowadays with professional forward thinking companys, get used to it, unless your trying to hide all your stuff from the taxman?

Next time read the whole thread before you post.

Idiot.

i did read the whole thread u whinging little mummys boy, you hadnt posted your grovelling apology before i posted my reply, so unless i could see into the future then i was right and u were a whinging little brat cos u didnt get ure way, stick your dummy back in your gub hahaha

I actually did post my groveling apology before you posted. All you have to do is look.

And the word is whining, you dumbass.

lol honestly bud i think we got off on the wrong foot, do me a favour and go back and check the timings, i was writing my post when u posted yours, tis not my fault u were whinging (as we say from scotland) whining is probably english im not too sure

point is u opened this thread using the "scam" word which is all too easily thrown around in the crypto world usually without any real back up or evidence, in this case it was cos u took the huff cos u couldnt manage to do ure kyc, no evidence of any wrong doing it was just cos u couldnt get ure way, as soon as u did (and honestly, it took some guts so at least some kudos for that) u admitted u were in the wrong, nothing wrong with that we cant be right all the time

water under the bridge to me, too much cash to be made, hope your successful as time goes by

peace

You don't know what a cheater could do with your passport data. Imagination is the only limit. So unless the value of their tokens and of this airdrop becomes really clear, or I will stay away. I have even received an email from them on how to get the airdrop, but then on their site is was totally another story.
