Title: Team also needs to pass KYC
Post by: Dacosta Osei-Tutu on March 27, 2019, 01:43:59 PM
 Investors and bounty hunters are mostly required to undergo KYC while the team behind the project itself are not known. And they scam people. I suggest the team should first pass a "KYC" test and publish it on their website before investors and hunters are also made to do same. What do you also think?

What do you also think? I think why are you complain here, is anyone listen to the feeling of injustice that you feel?
It's better to avoid project that associated with the Kyc system. I think it's better for you.

KYC stands for Know Your Customer it implemented only for all the investors of the project in order to know their credibility as an investor and make sure that the money their going to invest is not from illegal activities or money laundering.

For what I've known there are 2 reasons why KYC is implemented on the bounties:
1. To control the greed bounty hunters who uses different altcoin to abuse the campaign
2. To steal your Identity (Identity theft)

And for your topic which is team needs to pass KYC... and where are they going to conduct their KYC test? the thing here is that the investor and everyone of us should study the project first and don't easily give our personal information.

As such that there is a logic to what you said but regarding the team show themselves in their project and pictures during their road show except those trips , faces and pictures are fake, we never can tell too.

Thank you for again bringing this topic to life. Almost one year ago I said the same thing. The scam opportunity is not just limited to money. The ICO owners can even sell out your KYC documents at a very good price. Read it here,

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2946614.0

Also the remediation plan needs to be well thought. Even if the ICO owners publishes their KYC documents in their website, how are you going to validate that?? Just try searching in Google playstore and you will find more than 20 apps that can help you to generate fake KYC documents. So there's no way to validate the authenticity of those KYC documents uploaded in the website either! If a scammer wants to scam, they can find hell lot of ways to do that!

Team who are not dcared to post their real Identity have chance that project is not scam because once they do not gpod or any mistakes their name will be report and post in online for sure.  But I think too also they need the team to pass their KYC for fairness.

I think it’s a complicated situation bounty hunters can do little about
and I think teams do complete kyc too when it comes to listing on the big exchanges, and also on ico rating sites

While few projects get whitelisted by their countries too; before anything

Many ICO investigator and review sites has been demanding this. And some of them are actually verifying their identity and opening up in interactions on real life events while most of them are hiding in disguise. Though we can't just generalize it with success or failure of project, but it would certainly make the team more credible and responsible.

They should and it's a must because they are the one getting the money, I don't trust and tagged as a scam ICO that failed to prove their identity and photoshopped their team, we have seen that happens so many times check the scam thread so many ICO with fake team profile.

Why do the team behind the project needs to pass KYC when they are not the customer? You need to understand KYC more, proceed here. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=454795.0)

KYC is not the term for you to say in here, rather they should give their personal information that can be of a valuable holdings for those investors. Yes, there were lots of scams I think it's time for them to give what is right for us. All they do is scamming all of us after their ICO.

KYC for bounty hunters aren't good decision.  It is now being used by some greedy team who abuse bounty hunters document. It is our risk to do kyc as a bounty hunter. Team of some projects flew away after collecting money from ICO and they become inactive, their tokens value damaged after seeing their greedy activities.
Another system should be stopped to show email id in the spreadsheet. It is also dangerous for our safety. Recently my blockchaing id has been by fake email. I have used my email in the few bounties, and the hacker take my email from the spreadsheet and my details.

Title: Re: Team also needs to pass KYC
Post by: OptimusPrime_3 on March 27, 2019, 03:01:13 PM
The team are expected to be certified. You have a good point but the question is, who will verify the kyc? Where will they submit the kyc? Unless we see the team on places like icobench where they have to pass kyc to increase its ratting

I think it's useless because how do we know that the document is real or fake, check ICO ratings website, some project display pass ICO KYC Report, but it's doesn't help us identify the authenticity.

It's bounty manager fault, they don't hidden the email column, better don't use our main email to register bounty campaign because people always send spam/scam/fake email to us.

I really agree with you, but most of the bounty managers don't listen to it and I see some projects still show emails in spreadsheets.and I suggest that you are careful with the email you are using or you should use another email to register bounty

KYC verification for team members can only be possible if there is a cryptocurrency body or authority in place to verify them. If the team  members are allowed to verify themselves, they will surely put false information on their websites.

I hardly think that this would be a possible solution because KYC of the investors is done by the project team. So who do you think will be eligible to validate the KYC details of the team?
It can't be the investors since there will be so many investors and it would be hard for everybody to validate the KYC. It can't be a third party since  it can be easily corrupted.
Hence KYC of the team would not be an appropriate thing. It's better if we avoid any such investments where KYC is mandatory.

It would not be called KYC, maybe KYT (Know Your Team)  ;D

Smile! This will be so amazing if this can come into existence but I believe that the team member will not involve in kyc, so that they we know that is not easy to disclose your credentials, even though kyc is use to reduce the rate of fraudulent act.


Title: Re: Team also needs to pass KYC
Post by: vv181 on March 27, 2019, 04:48:30 PM
Well, I'd suggest you don't participate in any bounties that required an identity verification. It is actually far away from Bitcoin decentralized natures. I don't think its work to exchange our identity for a useless token that created for the scam in the first place. The solution is not to force the team to open their identity instead understand the value of your privacy, and the benefit of cryptocurrencies especially BItcoin.


Title: Re: Team also needs to pass KYC
Post by: chocopapaya on March 27, 2019, 04:48:39 PM
Eh, I don't think that will help to prevent scams.
KYC is so easy to get around.

Here's an example:
I had a colleague who wanted to invest in an ICO but Singaporeans weren't allowed.
So he simply googled a passport ID page and submitted that.
All he had to do was photoshop a couple things and Tadaaa! He is now a filipino.

For me, when I haven't been able to invest because I'm American.
I just ask my Chinese friend to do the kyc for me.

Devs will be able to similar things and more.
In a way, this could even increase scams because people foolishly think kyc means the ico is legitimate.

Very correct the team behind the project should be made to pass some form of identity test before being allowed to start a project, this will help to reduce the level of scam in the ICO market because fake team will not be able to pass the test if conducted properly.

This will not be a solution for scam projects. Finding a fake identity is not difficult at present time. I also remember that there should be SEC's regulations about it.

Sometimes they need to hide the real person behind the  CEO in order to avoid the meaningless questions. Maybe the CEO has participated in unsuccessful ICOs and all of them are failed. Who knows?

This is true, the team of every new project should undergo and pass kyc to ensure credibility. At least it will to some extent promote transparency and reduce scam rates

The term shouldn't be KYC, Know The Team(KTT) is probably the most appropriate. This KTT should be necessary for us to see on new teams taking their way in cryptocurrency. Day by day, scammers are on a high number. But the question is how can the people know they pass? Should we, validate their own personal info?  ;D


Title: Re: Team also needs to pass KYC

Not a bad idea.  Teams need to understand the trouble they put in front of the investors and bounty hunters. Freelance workers are afraid of giving their documents in order to get accepted to the teams.

People don't get scammed by fraudulent projects just because they didn't know in-depth the team behind the project, most of the time, people are scammed because they failed to make a proper research about the project.

Having a KYC for the team behind an ICO could also be pointless as there are ways to falsify documents. But tbh, if investors begin to pour money blindly into projects just because they "know" who's behind X or Y project then they deserve to get scammed, I mean, that can't be the only thing that creates some sort of legitimacy and "safety" around ICOs.

Using the İCO review services can help to understand the KYC scheme. Scam projects also accumulate the data of customers and investors, later they simply leave the market.

Who are they going to send their KYC form? The KYC form is to be filled by people using their services, not the person who is providing the service. There is nothing you can actually do here. If they ask for KYC, you have to either leave the program or submit your identification. The KYC was mainly implemented so that the users can not abuse their bounty system. Unfortunately, there are people out there who initiates fake project and after scamming their users, they start selling their information too!

They wont do the exact kyc but they must do some kind of verification in order to authenticate if they are really legit or not . they can send it to reputable person or company that serves as a filter to bust scam and frauds ico's .

The KYC was mainly implemented so that the users can not abuse their bounty system.

No thats not the main purpose on why kyc was invented but kyc can still be cheated because there are now service that offers fake kyc for the people that does not want to expose their identities  . abusers can use this way to bypass and continue abuse the bounty that has a kyc rule .

But how to do that? Probably need some more independent service that will check the reality of the project team.

You described a good scheme.And it seems to be used by many.I am not very worried about KYC passing. But this is why such an injustice — I (as a member of the bounty) —must go through this procedure, but the ICO leadership should not?I think with this application you can solve existing problems:https://www.civic.com/app (https://www.civic.com/app)

When you are talking about KYC stuff for the dev team, it will be answered by how far they are disclosing their profiles via the reference links such as linkedin, social media profiles and other works published. It is up to you to determine the authenticity of those given information. No one can really tell you, who is the legit or who is faking it? But even if they are providing you those personal info, it doesn't mean that they will not screw people. Most of them know how to get around laws and regulations and most of the time, they will register their project to a country with very loose crypto regulations. So it is really hard to come after them, if they run away.

Instead of complaining about KYC and implementing it to most bounties just try to avoid bounties with it. There are still a couple of bounty campaigns that don't require you to do so. There is no point even if their team do KYC it's still their own website and they can still manipulate the information written there.

I think it's very interesting that the Team must be on KYC and they must show their achievements. Now KYC for bounty hunters because they have the opportunity to commit fraud. While from the ICO Team they were also often unprofessional and many ICO they handled failed.

Great idea and I support it. I have long said that why only investors or bounty hunters have to go through KYC identification. This is fair and it will guarantee that they will not deceive their investors and steal their money. Therefore, dear developers, post your data, we want to know who you are!

You are true and that is why ICOBench invented KYC for the ICO team. Simply, find the ICO on ICOBench and you will see their KYC report.
But remember, it doesn´t mean that investing into KYC verified ICO is 100% safe.  8)

I would advise to use common sense: if you can not see a single member of the team/no contact on LinkedIn, hands off. If you are willing to risk it anyway, you can blame only person if you are scammed and that is you. However, if you are paranoid enough, nothing can stop your doubts and several teams are working on delivering personal ID documentation on blockchain. Well, it is still in a very early phase, but a few years might change the current state and society would benefit from decentralized protocols astonishingly. Today,we can use social media and fact-check with Google. A bit of effort can fully answer your questions  ;).

Yes, I agree to this. but if without KYC there would be a lot of fraud in the Bounty campaign, we know that Bitcoin is already very expensive and there will be more fraud in the Bounty campaign. That is certain, so I am still very confused because on the one hand that KYC for Bounty participants is actually very dangerous, because we give away our identity for free only for very small Tokens.

Even scammers look for more ways to show us a fake Linkedin profile. Blockchain technology made is easy for scammers to rob others and it is not ethic to give back their profit to victims from my understanding.

That's right it's important to make research before we participate in any campaign or invest on it. Because kyc have no assurance if your identity is safe. Make sure that the project is really good and have real team. Although this day is hard to find good one but still there's some projects that we can trust and have potential to be successful.

Agree, therefore regulations by the government must be applied at least the developer must have a valid license. That way project developers can include valid licenses on their projects that promise they have the funds to build the project and make investors more comfortable investing without any worries and excessive fear.

this is what I've been thinking about if investors and bounty hunters must enter KYC to be able to get tokens from a project why don't the teams do the same thing, there should be clear rules for the project teams about KYC for them and even so in the future it will also be able to make ICO conditions good and there will be no scam projects circulating.

Currently, websites evaluating ICOs have added KYC to the ICO development and dispatching team. But very few ICOs developed KYC to verify the identity of the group, so I believe that in the future KYC for ICOs development team is a must.

Agree, therefore regulations by the government must be applied at least the developer must have a valid license. That way project developers can include valid licenses on their projects that promise they have the funds to build the project and make investors more comfortable investing without any worries and excessive fear.
Yes it's a good idea, because if we as bounty hunters are required to make KYC, why is the project team not required to make KYC? because now there are a lot of ICO scams, and I think KYC for the team is a very good idea.

This is a great help not only with the bounty hunters but also to the investor that want to take part in ico. If we know that they are real then we will have assurance that they will do what ever it takes to develop the project. The only problem here is if they pass real identity or not, the only thing that important is the team participate in a blockchain event. It will boost the trust from people.

How can you do KYC for the team ? Can we do it ?
Yeah, I think what we need to pay attention to on their website about the team is the authenticity of the team. And we can only see it from their social media. Yeah. it is very vulnerable to scam.

So, all we can do is to be very careful when looking at the profile of the team from a project. And I think we also have to be careful before giving KYC to the project. Yeah, even I don't like to do KYC and better avoid it.

Well, exactly the KYC process is to Know Your Customer.
However, this idea may be used to decrease the risks of scam projects.
However, the name may not be KYC. It can be one of the regulations that we can propose in order to ensure that the project is real. I know that with this way, we cannot remove all scammers, but at least, it may decrease some.
If there are certain teams that are showing their identity, it will ensure the investors to invest in their project. However, of course, we still need to analyze the project carefully and ensure that it is not a fake ID.

Teams need to pass kyc only a few times
Probably when they are getting listed on ico listing sites
Or probably when applying for a listing in the big exchanges

They don’t do kyc for a 0.1$ token

Kyc for hunters need to stop

one of the efforts that became an alternative to detect scammer indeed by kyc. but sometimes it's not a wise choice because the kyc done also potentially to document abuse by some people, who were the concerns by the participants of the bounty.

   Team should present each member the best they can. They don`t need simple KYC, they need to do
much more than that. Presenting their past achievements, what school they finished, where they worked,
to say complete CV.
   KYC is a simple thing, team behind serious project should present their members much better, if they
didn`t they are not so serious, their project doesn`t have bright future.

As regard the team passing KYC, they can even fake it.

There are many ways to make the KYC for Admins/Project Teams  more harder to fake.

Selfie KYC verification with date verification is one thing, Example: Selfie while holding passport and newspaper issued the day of selfie :D there's no way to fake it since everyone can verify its authenticity.

haha that's funny and impossible in my opinion wherein to convinced easily to pass KYC also, for me for sure one will do that stuff especially if you're part of the team behind because it will be risky  if however the project didn't succeed. Because for sure one thing only will happen wherein more people will spread false accusations in your profile because of being involved with the project and definitely you can't skip on it.  Lol

Okay i got your point. I think its a good idea to prevent scam attempt. I think we need a platform that can verify the team to make sure they are real. So investor will trust on them and can easily raise fund. I know each project have a site to introduce team member. But, it really happen it will be usefull.

I agree.
It is not that big of a deal.
Why not?

Although they are posting their background and photos on their websites we aint sure about their identity or if that is really them.
I suggest skype or any video call that you are comfortable with.
If you are a big investor then that should be mandatory.
You dont want to waste your money without assurance.

You cant conclude first if how honest is that projects without searching documents that they have. It must be a not unknown team and the publicity to their team was in public open. However, we don't need to worry if we pass KYC/AML to that project if we are done the searching and us confident enough how legit they are. That implementation will help abusers, scammers and other fraudulent work that can be lead the project dragging down.

If the teams can pass KYC, then the project will look legit projects and there is no worry for the investor to give their money with the project. And if the teams have run away, the investor can report them to the police or another institution so they can investigate them. I think this will reduce the scamming from the project itself and it will make the ICO will be better, and the chance for the ICO to reach their goals will be open.

This is a really good question. But of course KYC for the ico team does not need to be passed, but it would be correct to provide as much information about yourself as possible with confirmation. And it turns out ico appears and there are just the names and photos of the team, often that are taken just from the Internet or social networks and are not real. I would suggest to check ico initially before posting information about it on information resources. For example, the creators of ico should check for fraud and get a badge of honor, which would be installed on their website. Then, if there is such a sign, one would understand that ico passed the test and is not frankly fraudulent. I think that would be right.

I think ico rating websites are doing KYC for the members of the team, it will also go to the rating if the team is real, and they would say if a team member didn't pass the KYC, but i don't know if those information should be trusted.

KYC in ICO to me is just a waste of time and I will always pass once I see that it is the people who purchase a coin actually have to go through the KYC process.

The team in charge of this project are very much unknown by the investors and this is the main reason why KYC in ICO project should be done by the team involved in the project and not the investors since the method of payment is just cryptocurrency, KYC should only be carried out if users are going to make use of fiat in any way for purchasing tokens.

It is a good way to go about selecting good project after all they need investors more than they need them because they are the ones that needs fund to build something that will give them a good future. The only setback I see in this is the implementation, since there is no body controlling them, the only thing that might force them into this is when a project practice this first and the response of investors to such project will ginger the rest to do so, otherwise, they will end up just seeing this and overlooking it.

We really need to know the team behind each project since we cannot travel away from our location to go and verify them in person but at least, their information will still help a bit.

This is called due diligence. Which in the normal world of investment, you are expected to perform for yourself. At the most simple level due diligence is checking out their whitepaper, and making sure they are solid in the business proposal, the plan, the token economics, etc.

Then in fact, on a deeper level, you have to check the team out, are they actually real people? Are they capable of handling the projects, as in, do they have the right people and skills? A blockchain coder? A marketer? A networker?

I think the major reason why the KYC is set for bounty hunters and investors is that they may confirm more authenticity of participants, meanwhile we may have no write to query the authenticity of the ICO team than to be sure we are joining the valid project. I believe good ICO would be conducted by already screened and certified team.

I agree with you on this matter. I think KYC requirement is just to avoid scams and make the business transparent. But in some cases, we can see that project team does not get their KYC passed. I have witnessed an crypto exchange scamming many traders of millions of rupees. It is BiteBTC. But the victims are worried as they do not know who is the owner of the exchange. What's surprising is that it is still operating and scamming traders.

The team publish their "PROFILE" in their website BUT we are not sure about it if they are really the people behind it, that is the problem,the team can fake their identity without knowing the truth behind their personality.

I think you should carefully study the ICO project both before investing in it and before participating in its bounty campaign. I usually go to the Icobench website, which indicates whether the founders of the ICO project passed the KYC procedure. If they have gone through this procedure, that is a certain guarantee of the integrity of their intentions, which means that you can take part in this project.

Agree on this one, i think project owners should also be subjected to compulsory kyc procedure to ensure authenticity and genuiness of their project,
if kyc can be required from investors who are taking a hugr to invest on someone else dream (yet to be real) then those at the receiving end shouldn't have a problem performing kyc,
some ico rating site can provide this info when project owners are verified or not, i mostly use icoholder site to do more research on any project i find interesting enough to take part in - even though not 100% guarantee of success but still better than nothing.

KYC is not for public, of course they will not pass their KYC. KYC itself is for customer though lol. In my opinion it's not about that, but you as a bounty hunter, can check it by yourself by check their linkendin info of their team. Check it 1 by 1 and is it real or not.

Yes, I agree with you. There have many projects use a fake name and details than some project call spam or stop invest and some project success their roadmap but investor lost money.So i think every project need to publish there own kyc on their website and need to add a verify system thats people get more details about the owner.I heard and many people complain that kyc sell on the darknet so first publish owner kyc than bounty hunter or investor also pass their kyc.

I suggest the team should first pass a "KYC" test and publish it on their website before investors and hunters are also made to do same. What do you also think?

Performing Kyc for the team behind the project is very important because that is their proof of legitimacy without KYC the project will be very suspicious, and also no investors will invest in a project if the team behind is hiding their identity because investors will check their identity first before they invest.

Yes, everything is simple. Want to collect dough. Start your open YouTube. Go through Kyc and you will have everything. Give the opportunity to visit your project. Let's say open day. And the fact that people even the site can not do.

indeed KYC is an indispensable method of being able to see they are real people or they are fake people, but this KYC method can be very dangerous when your identity can be known by many people and it will make yourself a target of crime, it can happen if the identity you fall in the hands of a bad person.

If developers can do this, investors will easily get interest to check how the team can perform and how well they will proceed and make things possible for the project, they are giving information about their identity and investors and bounty hunters will do the same.

What if they will use fake kyc and then they will still scam people ?  Its possible nowadays to pay and use a third party kyc service  . ico scamming is really hard to combat . joining them is like a gamble but anyway i heard that there is a new a trend in town called ieo  . alot of people are saying that this is more better than ico because its safe .

KYC is one of the problem right now in the project and bounty campaign. Many people conplain about it and they create an Idea why they only them are passing KYC but it's a good Idea now to show their Identity to us because it's not fair we pass our information.
KYC is means the projects once the investors see their names and information about them possible to become successful because we feel that our money is safe.

I think, this is a very good discussion, as we know, that an ICO has its own law in running its business in the crypto world, sometimes there are KYC standards in its trading system, but some are not, but we are very sorry when we have been serious about giving KYC, they deceived us, both to investors and bounty hunters, so we must be careful in investing or take part in a prize promotion program that is bounty, carefully examine in detail, so that later our KYC is not misused.

They are already doing it via linking their linkedin account, that is why so many ICO are caught scamming people because they provide photos from Shutterstock and photoshopped pictures, but this is not a guaranty that they will not be going to scam people, I have participated in some ICO where the developers are verified and yet they run away.

You got a good point there mate this is my thoughts for long time now,as the system wasn’t fair for every hunters that participate and also the investors while the team behind the project is hiding from bogus personalities.yes its our rights to make a research before investior participating in IcO but this is much fairly for the benefits of all to test KYc of the team first then hunters and investors will come after

Indeed, it should be like this because in my opinion, it is very fair and if something doesn't happen for example scam problems, hacking cases, etc. the team can take responsibility for that and some ico have done this by starting to do kyc on the ico review site by introducing their team and then following the blockchain event

It is a good and creative idea, which will increase the credibility of the project and attract more investors, projects that do not pass KYC will be judged to be of poor quality . I think projects should do that
Thats good idea, it will also reduce the scam project too. because people who have an open identity will not dare to commit massive
fraud. if a project does that, of course they will be more trusted, it will be an advantage for both parties

Most of Team in ICO is anonymous . Not all investors know who are they and no one know who is real and fake team in ICO. So this is simple, if you want invest ICO you must hard to checking more information about that Team. Leave them if you think they are fake.

Who did the KYC team and it was reported to? if we follow the project automatically we have researched and know the team in the project, if it is not comfortable with the KYC system in the project it is better to avoid it. There are advantages and disadvantages if it is KYC, but this is the game that happens in every project.

Seems reasonable to me. If you want investors to trust you with their money, it makes sense that you should make yourself honest about your intention. Its a good thing that majority of ICOs right now have their team conduct KYC. To site an example, in icobench, you can see if a project team did a KYC.

Literally, KYC means "Know Your Customer", so this term is not suitable. But I got what you mean by "KYC" for the team. I have not hear a global institution for this kind of matter, which is to regulate and as an intermediary between investors and ICO conductor. But there should've been local regulators who make such policies like the SEC. Some ICO reviewers have tried to do their researches to find out the team's background wether the ICO is legit or not, though can't be used as reference fully.

then we need a site or an independent company that will do that for us, Icobench and other rating sites already have this kind of features but we should not trust them they are working for their own profit, we should have an independent one for investors and bounty hunters.

Project team members need to be verified. But it's not our job, we have/should have a 3rd independent party to verify project team members before they start their ICO/STO.
It's important to detect not real members or members that have participated in scam projects before.

KYC is not an ultimate sign of a scam free project people can fake their ID just to scam people its not like those KYC docs gets verified by the issuer.
We are fully aware that mere seeing their identity is not enough to justify the authenticity of the  project but it will give the users who wishes to do directly verify them the chance of doing so, we just need to explore many option available to us that will make us stay safe in the cryptocurrency investment.

If KYC is not that effective, why do projects and exchanges enforce it on users knowing full well too that they could have supplied a fake identity but at least, it is best they still take their chances, so KYC will be part of many system that should be put in place for project team too for necessary verification by investors.

Post by: yulchatar on March 31, 2019, 06:38:35 PM
If initially the project is conceived as scam, then its creators will have no difficulty in faking an KYC verification. Therefore, this is not at all an indicator of an honest and good project. I think that a thorough examination of all aspects of the project will be more reliable for us.

The team are expected to be certified. You have a good point but the question is, who will verify the kyc? Where will they submit the kyc? Unless we see the team on places like icobench where they have to pass kyc to increase its ratting

Never believe this site! (ico bench!)  There are very many projects and scams of many millions that received the highest ratings very quickly after the start of the campaign, had full verifications.

Never trust them

See an example of why --->> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5113882.msg49909676#msg49909676 !  <<<< --- Best fraud detector ? - ICOBENCH

Current examples of fraudulent campaigns:



Loyakk They collected 16 million USD! -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5111782.0
DATABLOCKCHAIN + Swachhcoin (Almost 20 million USD)  - > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5099688.msg49319218#msg49319218
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5124495.0 ->  Another mafia - Swachhcoin -They will stealing your IDs and preparing to retreat

Read and compare all these entries
and that's only 2 % of everything I know
And compare exactly the same methods of operation. The same lies. Phishing documents on the google form.
The same false experts % fake kvc methods
Scam and run method.
New documents from YOU . And the same.
And so all the time and again.



they didn't even calculate any rates and after a year they collect data from nerds.

https://icobench.com/ico/enlte  4.5 / 23 expert ratings  / KYC -YES (I am not convinced, but it seems to me that there have been at least twice as many expert assessments alone)
https://icobench.com/ico/sidera-blockchain-technologies  3.0 / 9 expert ratings (the grades were very high, all fell and were changed as soon as the fraud was official)

https://icobench.com/ico/datablockchain ( 4.7 / 55 expert ratings ) KYC -YES / Unofficial fraud but everything points to it (no translator received payment, kyc announced after a year and to this "mysterious" shares).
https://icobench.com/ico/loyakk  ( 4.5 /10 expert ratings) / KYC -YES Unofficial fraud but everything points to it (no translator received payment, kyc announced after a year , The administrator lies all the time, all the time removes the group members on the telegram.

Before investing in each project, you should see the team first. If the team has been verified, of course that will increase trust for investment. Because most projects are certainly not verification that makes people hesitate before investing. As an investor, of course you have to see whether the team is trusted or not.

It would be much interesting if the manager of the said campaign will provide the whole profile status, links and others information which proves the community that this company or  campaign is legitimate.

Of course, now a very abnormal situation has arisen in the activities of ICO, where the ICO team itself is not checked for fraud, but demands to be tested by others. And we all see that the fraudsters are much more among ICO teams than among investors and headhunters.

They should be the one to do a KYC because they are the one who is going to hold the funds and we want to know who are the people behind the project that we are going to entrust our money, if we do not know who are the people behind it, there's a big chances that they are going to run away with the money.

For what I've known there are 2 reasons why KYC is implemented on the bounties:
1. To control the greed bounty hunters who uses different altcoin to abuse the campaign
2. To steal your Identity (Identity theft)

The part of KYC that scares me is the identity theft. The way KYC is becoming popular with many ICO projects is also not helping matters. Many crypto enthusiasts are obviously not comfortable giving out their personal details for the KYC process but how long can one stay away from projects that requires KYC verification.

It's quite laughable to suggest that the team also needs to carry out kyc. From the definition, KYC is meant for customers who in this case are investors. The team could be known by their social media accounts, in most cases, they use their LinkedIn profile which we know are not totally reliable. It's best not to participate in project which are not trusted, as your kyc information could be sold to third parties.

It seems to me that you still need to make independent organizations or structures that will control the developers and the whole team of new projects. To avoid fraud in the cryptocurrency market. Today, only investors and participants of the Bounty company are tested, but in most cases these are the people who are deceived, not the developers.

agree, because now there are so many fraudsters that if there is a group of cheats, they can be sanctioned and they will not be able to take part in the project again.
this method will make investors or bounty hunters more trust in new projects.

i think it is so good that teams have to pass kyc, but for investors why do they have to do this really i do not understand, also for bounty programs, they say we do not want multi accounts, but anyway if someone wants to do it multi, he-she may just use a friend's kyc, but i do not wanna give my identification to anyone else.

For that problem, it was very difficult to tell them to do kyc because not all projects always do it, only a few projects do this, but that is also not a guarantee because I see that not all team members in all projects that fill the cyclic are the only teams who have positions it's important for example the CEO, CO Funder, COO

This is totally right.. The KYC which means know your customer should be applicable to all and sundry in the crypto sphere. It might be difficult to get the project developers profile details but then it is the right step to totally sanitising the crypto ecosystem. Teams should pass KYC before investors will invest in their platform

For that problem, it was very difficult to tell them to do kyc because not all projects always do it, only a few projects do this, but that is also not a guarantee because I see that not all team members in all projects that fill the cyclic are the only teams who have positions it's important for example the CEO, CO Funder, COO

Why so, nowadays some of the people verify themselves in the time ICO launch itself at listing sites with the KYC details. I am not asking to verify in listing it. Optionally, we can look at self verification on their own site itself.

When you are seeing the bounties or announcement with out proper team information, you must need to ignore such projects for your goodness and report them with the details you gathered on scam accusations.

How we can sure the project is legit if they don't reveal the teams? for some investors and bounty hunters to look a teams for the project that will be followed by them is the most important thing. If they hide an information about its teams then I'll assume the project will bring to the scam. You can look at the scam accusations section, there are many projects that use fake photo and fake identity for showing up in their projects and that is prohibited for this forum. So, if you find a project that hide the teams you have report in scam accusations because the project is not feasible to be promoted by bounty hunters and chosen as an investment place by investors.

KYC stands for Know Your Customer [....]

For what I've known there are 2 reasons why KYC is implemented on the bounties:
1. To control the greed bounty hunters who uses different altcoin to abuse the campaign
2. To steal your Identity (Identity theft)


Plot twist: For bounty hunters, the project developers are the customers. Your arguments are correct, but the bounty hunter should know his customer too.


Title: Re: Team also needs to pass KYC
Post by: pinoycash on April 07, 2019, 10:22:39 AM
This is totally right.. The KYC which means know your customer should be applicable to all and sundry in the crypto sphere. It might be difficult to get the project developers profile details but then it is the right step to totally sanitising the crypto ecosystem. Teams should pass KYC before investors will invest in their platform

The main issues here is the place or platform where team members need to under go their KYC, Since there's no centralized system for KYC Procedure in crypto space we have to rely on 3rd party like ICO Bench which have strick KYC Compliance, But its not enough since some project owners can easily  buy ID's and Selfies via darknet making KYC a child's play.

I completely agree with you and for a long time I have not been taking any part in projects where the team is trying to remain anonymous. Nevertheless, we often face the fact that links to profiles in social networks turn out to be fake and the people indicated there have no relation to the project team, so we need to create some kind of trusted platform that will make kyc for teams of new projects before ICO starts .

It is their own project so they are creating their own terms and condition so don't expect them to have verification process for themselves when are scammers and the reason they can say for this is we are anonymous team for this anonymous coin.

I think in some project it's important to know your developer if you want to join an ICO. And some ICO teams do actually their own Know your developer, also knows as KYD.
There's is known your developer coin, https://kydcoin.io/ and from their homepage, you can see a list of the different project where there has been a KYD on the developer. https://review.kydcoin.io/

I think you should just say that, KYC should be meant for only the investors since they are only the customer purchasing their products. Bounty hunters are more like the team so i think they shouldn't be included in the kyc, since they're more like the team all working for the development.

As far as i know, KYC stands for know your customer not know your company. If you have doubts with the company you are joining for bounties then dont hesitate to turn back on it. The answer is common sense. If you know and its obvious that its a scam then dont join in it. End of story. They will not make much effort like creating a website etc if they are exist just to scam people.

I heard there were several projects that included several fake team members. which in fact the members were only covered for project promotion. they are paid because they have big names but are not involved at all in the process. if the team member is required to be KYC, I agree that the project has to proof valid team member not just profitee the name.

Yes, I agree that the Team behind their ICO must pass KYC. So we know they are very real and we can also see their track record. And this looks very fair because bounty hunters also do KYC. So that everything can be transparent and this will reduce fraud.
It is very important they do, I wonder why they want to remain invisible to us and wants us to be visible to them, if any project does not have any hidden agenda or fear of failure for their project, I see no reasons why they should have any problem disclosing their identity to us too. They need us more than we do, we own our money and they are the ones that need our money to develop their projects. Projects doing KYC will also assist every investor to really know those they are dealing with and do proper verification on them using their details before getting involved in their projects.

They are already doing that, but they are faking it, so many ICO are caught using a profile from shutterstocks these are scam site with no real team behind it, I'm glad we have members of this forum who do extensive research on the status of ICO the list is now over 150 and still counting.

Can't assure that, scammers will do their best just to collect money from Target investors, we do cater KYC as it's needed to participate to a certain projects even without any assurance from the team behind, if they showed their true identity with legit background checks it will give some good breathing from the investors.

KYC of the team behind with legit information will add trust and confidence from the target participants.

Remember that we are in a virtual world and anyone can pass fake KYC specially the Dev and Team since they are tech persons and has a mechanisto make things possible and sometimes even the impossible

Everytime we support a project or joining a bounty campaign, some projects requires KYC before joining in their programs. For me, it is a good idea if the development team will verify their KYC first, so that we supporters will have assurance from their project. Mostly, the info about th team is in their website  but there are times that some platforms are having some fake identity in their web and even in their social medias.

Yes, there are certain bounties who are in need to pass a KYC. I think the KYC is good because you will really know who are the members and the KYC also gives a bonus or merit to your bounties. Even a KYC has a long process but for me it is more safe to have a KYC in a bounty.

I think so, core team of the ICO should have done KYC. This is good for them too, because investors will come to buying their token if they passed KYC.
That's why on some ICO rating sites, there are some KYC procedures for the team.
If hunters must submit their identity to complete KYC, why the team not ?

You have a good point, this is totally the first thing to do in order for the investors and community supporters will support every project.
But sometimes, few investors were being tricked by fake identities. Therefore it is very important that the crypto community will create a solid verification protocol in order to avoid any fake identities that can pass the KYC process.

Though there are plenty of projects also that succeeds even though the team behind the projects are anonymous. I guess, KYC will be necessary only to those projects who have a team that didn't want to be anonymous.

First of All, blockchain has to do with anonymity, Why then the whole saga of kyc?
If KYC is for customers, why should bounty hunters go through it?  
The role of a bounty hunter is to help the project come to lime light by promoting them through various medium.
At the end ,instead of paying, they bring stringent measures to make bounty hunters to still fail the kyc after submitting their kyc documents.
All to keep the token for themselves  after your hard work.

If the Team is to do kyc, who would check them?

The ICO team cannot be anonymous, because, as it is, investors actually take their word for it, do not see it, and in most cases cannot verify the reality of their project. If they still don’t know to whom they send their money, they will not even have anyone to complain about if they are deceived.
The crypto community also cannot effectively check the ICO teams for possible fraud on their part, since the ICO team in this case reveals only the information that it considers necessary. The most effective in this case will be only the state regulation of ICO activities from the place of their registration. The relevant state bodies will be able to verify the original personal documents of the ICO team and everything related to this activity.

I know where you are coming from, I have joined campaigns that don't give a damn about investors and bounty hunters. However, I don't think there is a way to check a team's validity. They could easily pay third-party verifications just like what you see in most ICO review sites. Your best bet is, as always, is to research all the things they present and pray that the team are not heartless scammers.

Who will be the regulatory body? The Government? Then its counter productive to what cryptocurrency is..

A simple video of the team speaking about the project is enough KYC to know who is behind the keyboard and a video cannot be fake thus making it an effective mode of KYC for Team Members.

There is no point in bounty hunters who are not investors having to submit sensitive documentation to organizations that might be questionable. Like others have pointed out, it may be best to simply skip past organizations requiring this.

Making kyc mandatory for team might not be the best or most effective way of forestalling scam, but it is just one of the catalysts that would aid it.
I am of the opinion that a regulatory procedure by a registered regulatory body would be the way out of scam.

Who will be the regulatory body? The Government? Then its counter productive to what cryptocurrency is..

A simple video of the team speaking about the project is enough KYC to know who is behind the keyboard and a video cannot be fake thus making it an effective mode of KYC for Team Members.

There needs to be an independent third party or auditor that can affirm the legitimacy of ICOs. I believe something along these lines has been proposed within the Ethereum ecosystem.

Investors and bounty hunters are mostly required to undergo KYC while the team behind the project itself are not known. And they scam people. I suggest the team should first pass a "KYC" test and publish it on their website before investors and hunters are also made to do same. What do you also think?
Rather than KYC, showing themselves as legitimate members would already be enough.Knowing their names, valid social media accounts or any other related things.
Bounty hunters has nothing to do with KYC but sadly these people are included on the list implying the rules for them to get the token.
If you don't like to pass any information then better skip these kind of campaign.

It is very important for the project team to do KYC. Because it is one of the investors' trust in the project itself. Therefore I often remind, before investing, of course the project TIm must be seen first. Is the team really real. If the team has passed KYC, of course it's very good for the future.

I think this should be a prerequisite for each project because we need to know whom we trust our funds and in case of project failure, if the project team tries to deceive us, we will know who they are and where to find them.
I agree with you. Team KYC should be a prerequisite in this space where scams are at every corner. But I believe that a very serious team that know what they are doing and are ready to put anything in line for the success of their project should not be force to KYC or hide who they are. They should be ready to reveal themselves to their investors.

I agree that the project team must also confirm their identity, it will protect us from a large number of scams. Today, we can only judge a team if we study their profiles on Linkedin. But we can't really know if it's the same person. After passing KYC, developers will get more confidence from potential users and investors.

When team members require hunters to pass the KYC process, it is a must for the team members to pass the KYC as well. I would not risk my information to pass a KYC when the team members do not want to do the same.

It seems like IEO's brought this to the game.

For making an ieo you need to be out there and exchange must verify your team's id. So ieo means no fake team.
This is on the one hand of course very good that the market will not be exactly a Scam on the part of the team , but of course disappointing is that anonymity goes away

LOL.... who is going to check their KYC documents? Nowadays, the ICO market is completely devoid of any regulation and this has triggered an influx of scammers and criminals. If the team itself check the KYC documents of the promoters, then I don't think that it will be of any use. This must be done by an independent and unbiased third party.

Kyc for me is necessary for the developers and team to avoid a heavy scam of ICO because they are the bigtime scammers as they earn on ICO by investing of investors so they must the priority to have a kyc not the bounty hunters and investors.If they use kyc for team and developers we can avoid scams.

You're absolutely right, the rules should be the same in such projects, because developers can get money and information about us in this way

That's a poor due diligence on the part of the OP because in this day and age who invests in any ICO or bounty program whose team members are not known. If you invest your time or money into any project whose team is publicly known then i think they don't need any further KYC to prove their identity ;D

We have ICO bench to verify ICO owners identity while in the mastenode ecosystem we have KYD or know your developer as a KYC procedure. But its not enough to stop scammers from launching their project since ID's and Selfie Documents are available in the dark market and they can easily use those to verify their fake profiles.

KYC is essential for preventing the token abusers and bounty hunters. Sometimes, it is hard to control the whole database of investors and for simplifying it they ask about the documents. If there is an idea to regulate the ICOs then asking KYC from teams can be acceptable.
