Yeah why not, I suppose yeah it could end up on the dark web, never really thought about that,

But if its a good bounty return F it

Until one day you go on holiday, get arrested at an US airport and charged with card fraud, if you are lucky. If you are not lucky charges will be for terrorism, drug dealing or arms trading.

And while you try to prove that "some else used my documents" and "I am innocent" they will be thinking of how fabulous would you look in orange, inside an Egyptian prison.

But..yeah... bounty was good...so f*ck it.

 Shocked That´s is a bit dramatic I think  Cry

But anyway, the subject is really important. People are victims of identity thefts in real life - a guy I know got a credit card and ID stolen and he had to give long explanations about several hefty sums spent under his name on some betting sites. And I have heard of cases in which an email and ID were used to use a Paypal account.

Even one ICO that was legit, Experty, became "famous" for a identity leak. It´s a concern for many people, more if you have plenty of money.

I think you are missing the point of the OP. Is not about keeping anonymous, is about sending your personal documents to someone. They may end up in the dark web for 10$ a piece.

Oh! I see, I am sorry OP and thanks paxmao.

Well this is unfortunate. I would not give my ID to a company which could not even establish a reputation in the market yet. If I was you then I would report the bounty thread and would create a scam accusations thread against the ICO and the bounty manager.  

No worries Bro  Grin I was not very clear perhaps. Anonymity is also important for some people, so you are right, you have to choose that too.

KYC is important but it can be a pain to carry out and there's the worry that people will use your info as you've pointed out.

Check out Blockpass - we're working on a self-sovereign identity verification app which would give you the ability to 'anonymously' KYC. We're working with Edingburgh Napier University on Zero-Knowledge Proofs amongst other things to further this goal but we already have the first version of the app available on Google Play and the App Store.

https://blockpass.org/
https://www.napier.ac.uk/about-us/news/blockpassidentitylab

How is that better than CIVIC, SELFKEY and THE KEY projects?

There are currently no truly self-sovereign ID solutions available and our partnerships with Edinburgh Napier University is geared towards this goal. We also do not hold any information on the users - the only data is stored on the users apps. The way we integrate with merchants is also different as we don't require them to lock into using Blockpass for set times or put any other conditions on them. We also offer discounts on the KYC for merchants and we are implementing a reward system that will encourage merchants to verify further certifications.

In the long run, we aren't simply providing a KYC solution. Blockpass' ultimate goal is to provide identity for humans, companies, devices and objects on an IoT level. The human aspect is simply the first part that we are implementing.

I am a bit scared that  some ICOs and recently a well-known bounty management group have decided to ask for KYC for bounty hunters. For me, that puts me on the spot of choosing if I want to risk to send my documents on line for not much money or just decide that I should not do any bounty.

The worst thing is that sometimes the KYC is asked after the promotion is done. For me that is just blackmail. What would you say if I agree with you to pay you 300$ to paint my fence and once you finish I decide that I will only pay you if you give me your address, copies of your documents and a picture of your wife or husband.



If you don't like it then walk out. If you think it worth giving your KYC details then go for it. 

What comes first to you?
The promise of the money or your anonymity?
You need to know your priorities.

I think you are missing the point of the OP. Is not about keeping anonymous, is about sending your personal documents to someone. They may end up in the dark web for 10$ a piece.

That's exactly my fear with these KYC for bounties.

While I understand that Bounty Managers and ICO organizers need to have real people marketing their project, it's really scary to upload your personal documents to a recently created website that you know nothing about.

Hopefully we get to a middle term regarding this.

Because of this KYC, I am picky which project to promote. At first it was okay, because I was a victim of these scumbags who is using my email address and telegram username for airdrop, the assurance for me to receive my airdrop token is through KYC.  Then a lot of airdrops turn out to be scam .Therefore, KYC is risky, so you have to be careful first  which project you are going to promote.

I think that's not worth giving our personal informations. I rather do bounties that doesn't require KYC.
Also, I hate when they want me to send KYC after I finished campaign or airdrop.
It's kind of arrogant to ask for such informations for $5.

I have seen this kyc as nothing when i started participating in bounties. i saw no issues with it but not until after giving out my main email address to this people. i found out that i receive not less than 10 to 20 email a day, requesting that i join airdrop, new bounty alert, promotional email and sometimes some irrelevant message that is not written in english or poorly written english. 
I don't border reading or unsubscribing, i just block the sender and all their future mail goes to spam which i don't open or read.

I think this situation will make member of BTT to two type,
  • Agree because it will avoid fake account.
  • Disagree because bounty hunter not use their money to have token/altcoin, but they work to get it so they don't need KYC to join.

For me, i will join bounty with KYC, if the bounty manager can guarantee my data is safe. but if KYC will send to project developer, i will walk out, because we dont know, (sorry) that projects will scam us or not.

The bounty manager does not hold, verify nor has access to your data. It is the promoter or an identity verification partner and no-one can provide legal and physical 100% security.

I think KYC is needed for ICO investment and also bounty hunters as shareholders, this is done to avoid the state rejects cryptocurrency although I a little bit objected

It really depends on the project itself. I really do check the projects before I apply for bounty tasks, so all of those projects would get my ID, too. But I have to say that only 1 out of about 15 projects required my ID for bounties ...

It really depends. If the project is those high profile high hype factor, i would. But it's just probably some dodgy kind that most likely can't make it, I won't. Better time spend elsewhere. You've no idea what they'll do to your identity too. That's usually how you get those spam emails.

Which bounty management group asked you your ID's?

Unfortunately we have to do it else it's our loss.
No, you don't. It's your loss if you give your ID's to strangers, it seems you are not aware of it...yet.
They won't lose anything but we lose our hours of hard work.
I bet your fingers hurts.
Also KYC could avoid multiple account bounty abusers.
Yeah, that must be the reason.  Roll Eyes
