Bitcoin Forum

I am being asked to submit my KYC information to continue using the forum.

Obviously I am not going to give this information.

edit: This is an April fools joke, and any information submitted will not go to this site's owner:

Obviously is 1st of April :D

And to avoid KYC, you could buy some of my Legendary accounts :D :D :D

What date is it today?

It's a joke  ;)

To bypass KYC, You need to Dontae 50 BTC to the forum. Problem solved.  ;D

Scam

It seems as if this was a joke. As of now, not giving this information does not prevent you from posting or reporting a post.

It's an aprils fools joke, relax.

Geez, I sent a stool sample.  Since it's only a joke I wonder if I can get it back?  I did fast freeze it.  Since it's still March 31 here I thought it was serious.  I want my poop back!

That's what (((THEY))) want you to think.

For the super paranoid, you should verify this information yourself. In theory, this whole April Fools prank could be a ruse to try to get xx user's private information if there was some good reason (such as a national security subpoena) to try to get their information. I think the chances of that are low.

Alternatively, you can leave all the fields blank, and the KYC request at the top of every page will go away.

Well, you can always take a look at the source code of the page yourself. You'll see that the form doesn't send anything to any server.

What is this, some sick Joke?  I don't want my parents to know I self-identify my gender as an "Attack helicopter."

That is the source code when you visit KYC verification (https://bitcointalk.org/kyc.php) page, but there is not anything stopping a different source code when someone else visits that page.

The chances of this happening are very low (close to zero).

You can just ask Google to delete it

this is outrageous, i never had a pet to have a name for it so i can't become verified. also my gender is of land attack type with a Humvee but the only option in the list is an air attack type with Helicopter. now i am stuck verifying myself.

just april mop dude don't make it serious ;D

Yeah others are right! This is only an April Fool's joke but I admit that it was quite impressive because I almost click on the bait lol.

And besides, you can predict that it wasn't true at the first place because you can still access the forum (like the usual) despite of having the announcement ;D.

Relax dude, the infos you input is in safe place. See the codes above posted by OP? It states that your data is just sent here inside the forum (correct me if I'm wrong :P), so nothing to worry about.

 ;D great start to April fools........ I was like shit they want all this info I am not sure if I even know

Really is this April fool jokes? I don't make me sure which is true. Can anybody say in serious mode that Is not totally fun or we need to submit kyc for this forum?  ::) :o

Jeez.. this seem the reason for this KYC April fools joke. This does not leave one from imagining how many more Hero members, Senior members , Full members, Members accounts that got stalked from upgrading by the merit system.  ;D

joke of April fools day. I found KYC verification quite simple and funny.  :D

..I find KYC form quitely intriguing and I don't want to give my KYC information..but then I realize that this is just an april fool's joke..I was once a victim,,first time ever happen to my life to be fooled on April fools..LOL ;D ;D ;D

There is nothing stopping anybody else from seeing what shows in their kyc page to verify if it’s sending anything or if the code is different in their case.

Wp theymos, I almost had a shock when the KYC thingy showed up.

Now you owe all of us KFC :D

I would be interested to find out how many lunatics actually submitted all that private info.

I know the forum is full of nutters but as this is all about finances and lets be honest 99% of coin dev's are keyboard scammers then surly people wont just give this information up.

Hell HSBC dosn't even ask for that  ;D

But would love to know how many people take this seriously

And good on Theymos for doing it !

TT

Hope theymos will make a topic with all the funny KYC results.

Enough, there was even one with a selfie with his own ID in the KYC topic...
