Bitcoin Forum

First, want to say this was an excellent idea Theymos and if you need someone to grow this KYC process further (for maximum exposure), I'm your man. Time to rid the plague of all the corrupted assholes and scammers; having 100% transparency in crypto is a brilliant idea.  

Why should you submit it? It's like everything you do in life, you prove who you are and your good intentions? Fuck privacy and all you shady characters who linger on these forums for nothing more than profits. This is the real world. Uncle Sam spies on you daily, there's nothing that you can do to resist this new era.

Its april fools joke, if u submit real info ur skammed

I like your dedication towards the KYC. Maybe you have submitted your PRIVATE Information now, I guess?

Clever way for theymos to scam.

And today is April 1st.

Almost got me until i read that he wants my past and present, and future lovers. LOL. Happy first day of april!

I was really scared when i first saw it. What I fear most is the credit card number.  ;D i wonder what this was last year, can someone remind ?

Theymos is really witty on choosing the topics for April fools.
This forum is based on the principals of satoshi him/herself.
And satoshi would never ask you for your personal informations.
Though if in high demand, they can implement KYC for bounty participants. I would rather provide my KYC to the forum than every projects.

I was also wondering why I got an ad about KYC, thanks guys ... I do not understand why you are against privacy? if it is one of the main ideals of Satoshi nakamoto ... we do not seek to be anonymous, we simply want to maintain a certain privacy

I submit my "info" and now message dissappear, for all who want to have message dissappeared submit your "info" and all will be ok, not take more than 2 minutes.

I was shocked, because it was for real, not an april fool's game. If its better for the forum, I'm in unto it and its necessary in order that no more spammers and alternate accounts. I also think that we should submit a true identity, not the fake ones. So, goodluck.

Today is April 1st. This is a joke.

See this topic on META section:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5124947.0

Have fun! :D

Very funny ,I heard from a bounty manager that's April fool lol , damn! That really got me

Theymos got me riled up as well until I saw the gender choices, politically correct much. Now I am out to commit a crime because I need to list one to get verified. ;-)

I think yeah it's April fools day haha gotcha!

wowo, this is a very good joke, if this is true I think everyone who has a lot of accounts will be very stressed.  ;D ;D

I am thinking about when i open the forum then see this kyc information and it takes time before i realise that this is an April fools joke. Especially when i saw that i need to provide my past relationship it makes me laugh hard, well i did provide my information and i have no problem doing kyc even if it's real or not.

It's an april fools day lol, go visit the meta section mate :D. Also this things is like yearly event in bitcointalk, last year on the same day also have things like this and it's also fake. Calm down and enjoy the april fools day, i'm surprised people still not know that lmao!

great April's 1st! I was super shocked first seconds too! :D :D :D

Yes, it was a good joke. I myself was a little surprised at first and scared by the appearance at the top of the main page of the news that now for further work on the forum you need to pass the KYC check. However, when I read the questions that needed to be answered, I realized that something was wrong here. And I remembered that today is April Fool's Day - jokes are possible everywhere. All happy fool's day!

I think this is a ridiculous thing, and certainly made everyone surprised, really surprised at the beginning of April, but I was also curious whether the KYC form would appear the next day like this ;)

I think that everyone out here are surprised, also me and I'm just done with my kyc here in bitcointalk. I also feel comfortable doing kyc here in btt rather than filling kyc in any of the ico projects out there. Great idea and concept that theymos has planned, i think the forum would be nicer if everyone would undergo their kyc.

Have you read the required information in KYC? I think it's just a troll from the forum admin. You should remember this is April Fool's Day.

That's a good idea. I have done all the procedure and verified myself as you will see the verified tag in my profile within couple of minutes. Everyone should do that to prevent scammers. Our forum is full of scammers. theymos took a right decision at last. No one can enroll now with more than 1 account.
Beside, please notice today is April 1st because it will be asked when you want to get back your account once it is hacked.

I wonder why most of the users here are afraid?
Well, this is obviously an April fools development but if Theymos is serious about this one, I'm willing to participate but not to the extent of my past and present lovers.  ;D A great job for Theymos on this one, he really got everyone here and at least make a panic for a moment.

No!

I'd rather leave bitcointalk than doing KYC!

Damn you theymos!

The power that be has him too in the end. Is there anyone they can't reach and manipulate? Damn lizard people.

Haha.  Happy april fools bro don't be so serious.  Theymos always do this stuff for fun only just to put smile on other participants here on this forum especially those people who are so stressed and very serious on their work despite of the situation. Lmao  so be thankful that theymos always there to  make us happy sometimes.

Aaaaannnnddd a lot of angry faces out there who fell for it

Checking my bitcointalk account this morning with words written in red I asked myself what is this again? I immediately call a friend of mine to check his account also and he said the same. I clicked on the KYC link and I can see clearly is a prank. I don't think KYC needs your blood group and your cc details for you to be verified

Now he know who should he goes to if ever he is in trouble with his private information. By the way theymos is a good guy he won't scam him. This is a lesson to be learned, read all the important parts before you sign, he got straight in your butt right? Even I was not certain that it was a joke, unit when I got to signing some recovery questions answers, nearly got me.

Haha  i nearly pooped myself

This is meant to be April fool joke, I hope you didn't submit any information.

Oh man, your post sounded serious and believable. Many know that Theymos wouldn't do a KYC. It has been discussed many times long ago in the Meta Section. And it's April's Fools Day. Crazy shit happens in Bitcointalk on April 1.

People really falling for this?

Great joke yeah, but it took me 5 second to understand it is april fools. But i think multi accounters probably had an heart-attack when they first saw this.

I love the attention to detail.  The LAT LONG puts you in the middle of the antarctic.  Good work all round.

Hooray, I passed KYC))) In general, a good joke , when in the morning I went to the forum,first I was very scared.Then,understood... I congratulate you all on April 1, and April fool's day.

based on a lot of topics that have been popping up today i would say that a lot of people have taken it seriously and have fallen for the joke (been fooled). it is so funny though specially the options in the KYC list :D

Bitcointalk team got me completely on this. Not until I took my time to go through details needed for kyc, and relate the funny requirements with today been April 1st, that is when I detect is April fool joke. ;D

What for have submit KYC for bitcointalk account, any admin could give information why have to submit and what goings on with bitcointalk forum have to submit KYC, you like an ICO project have submit KYC.

I hope its only April fool not true

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5124947.0

How funny that some did not notice it's already fools day today.
You can check on the KYC information and that does not tell a real KYC, whould ask your tax ID number and credit card information.


And this is very obvious..

Please list all of your past, present, and future romantic partners (note that we may contact them for further information):

I think this is not real KYC (know your customer), it is just a joke for April. I have also submitted KYC documents. There are a lot of fun in the KYC form if you observed already. So it is fun, don't take it seriously guys but we want to welcome if real KYC is taken.

Yeah dude this is only a April fools even if you dont fill up the kyc you can submit it every year theymos give us a mind blowing jokes hahaha I guest OP submit a real kyc, do you read the please list all your crimes (at least 1)

  ;D  For how she came in with prosoni. I just opened my chats and there was a blast. The best joke of the day.  And this is how I now play my friends after that. I do not know (

When I opened my bitcointalk account, I was very surprised when I see the news about the bitcointalk forum require the KYC.
Well, if this was true only April fool joke, then I was fooled by Theymos because I am the person who fills the KYC form.

---

Lel. That's true, many people were deceived in April fool (including me).
https://i.imgur.com/JI4Kw8t.gif

 ;D Well, someone is happy about this, even the posts began to write in support. I think the joke was a success. What will happen next year? The main thing is that Bitcoin is not joking for April 1.

today all users were shocked because they did not make an announcement before but suddenly they posted a post to enter KYC haha this is a very funny and surprising trick.  ;D

Maybe Bitcoin is not joking, but the miners do.
5 blocks in 2 hours doesn't really look serious to me.

haha, he had a very interesting joke on April fools' day. I was quite excited when the morning saw everyone happily discussing this.
I think that KYC is really not necessary for the account. This is just a forum and we just need to discuss and cultivate the best knowledge from this place. not for profit.

I'm not sure this is a good thing for big forums. And today is April Fool's Day. But it's great that a large community has interesting ideas and makes the forum more connected.

I'm 100% sure this is a joke, nobody will ask you for your credit cards numbers unless is a scam and this forum is not. ;D

The KYC is good for the Bitcointalk but is safe as far as the seeking information is limited to the user non-privacy. But, here  is demanding the more than enough data and also the credit card information which  is very unfair. So, I request you not to demand this type of KYC.

Lol funny those things are very funny to ask in KYC procedure and even they are asking credit card information. So please don't share those details to them but you can share your personal information with them in order to be in a safe zone by verifying your account.

it wont let me enter KYC data , should i just paste it all here?  ::)

Lol, I don't think that bitcointalk would really need bitcointalk for no reason since this forum is for anyone.

Have a nice 1st of April day ;)

When I saw the notice after opening my account, as was as though I was in a slumber. I had to go through the process and while reading, some of the information required made me laughter and made me to doubt if it was real. On visiting this thread, I realised its April 1st gimmicks.

when I first opened my bitcointalk account I was surprised to see a notification to fill out KYC and then I filled it in, but after reading this forum it turned out to be a very brilliant joke  ;D

Yes, it is a good idea indeed. We will know who are using this forum.
And if there is user who want to scam by holding ICO, their identity will be revealed. This is to prevent scammers.
Hey, what if i don't have any crime to fill in KYC ?  ::)

IRS, FBI, CIA, NSA, Federal Reserve, ECB, Interpol...

LOL!

I loved the gender list
I'm an attack helicopter ;D

WTH, i want to choose MALE in gender, why you don't provide it on the list ?
I want to submit my KYC, but stuck on the gender so i won't submit.  :P
This forum is the best forum of cryptocurrency world, i like it.

It would have been more appropriate if you tried to investigate before gush. There was an april joke last year, and this year the series continues. In fact, I was surprised when I logged, but I got my answer by looking at date.

Just opened the forum and found that KYC is needed. I think it is April Fool's Day. Maybe the forum is a joke, look at the post, this is April Fool's Day gift....

As for me a very good joke. Someone has a very good sense of humor. As well as the opportunity to master confidential information. Here you can not joke like that.

I was writing down my information with all my sadness, i wanted to check last one more time in forum and i saw this topic and smiled:) I am aware that today is the 1st of April but i would never think that the bitcoin talk would make joke to us.. Thankfully there is no such KYC things, but i am still laughing to myself..

ahhah , well, you got me  :D :D

       



Yes I am ready to submit my KYC information. But one question is this forum is for public discussion and in any public discussion, why you need KYC information unless one commits crimes? The good idea is to permanently ban an account if he or she is found of committing crimes. It is good if any project seeks KYC for becoming part of their project. Things for consideration. I think many people does not have passport or identity card, some others do not have access to bank. In that case, do not have such persons to get access to that forum?
The purpose of this forum is also to bring together people all around the world. Discussion are held not only cryptocurrency, but a wide range of subjects concerned with general people. This is my only argue. 

I really adore this kind of idea by Themos which this bitcointalk forum is now requires KYC to go through this forum. This can be good to this forum, for the reason that the spammers of accounts, fake accounts will be regulated. But I am want to consider some of students who don't have some information in the KYC form because of lacking some valid answers.

I can only believe the whole KYC Sega's on bitxointalk only after today because of the date of today which is April fool and at that any time after tomorrow when it still remains the same then we can take it serious.

No colonoscopy results needed.

Brilliant!!!!! hahaha

yeah good one, had me goin.

April's joke? Right? What the heck is this?  ???

Cis male Androgynous FRM nice list of genders. Some might want to choose multiple fields lol :D Good one

It was first April and was very funny i would say, specially when i got it here "You agree to have this information shared with the IRS, FBI, CIA, NSA, Federal Reserve, ECB, Interpol, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Equifax, Chainalysis, and your parents: ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hopefully the KYC program in the forum can eliminate KYC for all future projects, I also believe in doing KYC in this forum rather than doing KYC in the project

I was shocked and surprised when I saw it.
LOL.... April FOOL

Gladly welcomed, this should have been done since the beginning of joining. I myself have filled out KYC, there is no anxiety to send this personal data for the common good, now just waiting for verification. for those who haven't done it, do it immediately

luckily it was just a joke because I was also surprised because I had to, because I also thought it was very strange, but I also agreed to do it to anticipate scammers.  :D

almost do kyc for this forum
but then i just stop on gender , and i found attack helicopter , wth is that lol
but then yeah today 1 april, u can assume it self

You're a high ranked member here and as a Hero Member you must've spent at least two years in this forum. But it's really amusing that you still haven't come in terms with the fact that Theymos likes to pull a prank every April 1st. Well, I hope you submitted your credit card details too and also submitted your private keys to that Darkstar thread here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5126721.0

THe prank was really good..i think Theymos nailed it,.. but in fact, seriously this would be something to consider, i think that a KYC in bitcointalk will save us from scammers/spammers.. much more than the merit system for example!

Love it!

Gender: Attack Helicopter

Imagine taking this thread seriously, even after knowing this is an April fools joke. I recommend viewing people's profiles and clicking that April Fool's verification (above their image) to understand that they are partaking in the event.

I admit i really fall for this. I wasn't aware it was april fools day.

That last line was a wake up sentence. Good joke i must say :)

I was not shocked after I read the questions that need to be filled in) everyone should understand that this is just a joke)

Most of the old member easily recognized that this is nothing more than April fool day but I think if it will be implemented forever then it is really good to avoid the multiple exchange from bounties but asking for identification an online forum looks too much. ;D

I personally liked the joke that looked like that year, there were additional icons in the account’s reputation, but this is quite creative, I think many people have scared the message today.))

First I thought it was real but then i saw the gender option i am like ‘what a joke! ’
Then i submitted an empty form and it wrote sucess then i knew it was the bitcointalk april fool... Good one from theymos tho

I think it's great for the forum but do this forum need to start this from April 1st which people will think it's just a troll for april mop? Anyway, later if this is really implemented as one of the compulsion for the members, I will support this.

In general, a very interesting idea. For many, this innovation has caused a smile. Some were worried about this warning. I personally liked the new statuses. It's great that we are not only interesting, but fun.

Is this not an April Fool's joke? because the most important aspect of cryptocurrency is anonymity. i'm sure it's just a joke

If we are talking about the information that appeared today, then this is a joke on the first of April. No provision of documents from bitcointalk members is required. Moreover, it seems to me that for the Administration and the moderators of the forum this should not be expected, because they themselves do not deduce KYC.

Of course this joke. You can read What questions are stated there and understand that the form for filling kyc is nothing more than an April Fool's joke.

Of course, this is just a joke. read the questions that need to be answered to pass KYC. This is obvious joke

It must be very difficult to live two lives that are in stark contrast to Crypto and the real world, although almost the same but there are so many different elements in the world of technology that continues to grow. We fight against fraudsters and unstable market prices. Many people don't like KYC too much because sometimes it is not according to the procedure, but I am sure that our goals are good, we will judge them ourselves.

Today I saw in the telegram how one guy raised a panic that KYC needed to be passed. I was immediately in shock, but then I saw this form and realized that this was a cool game for us all!)

Isn't KYC redundant?
I mean we all know Big Brother is watching all of us.

He's listening to us right now, seeing what I am typing.
He's using facial recognition AI tech to learn about our emotions and reactions.

In a sense, we are all in permanent KYC.

But since it is required from now on, I would like to point out a fatal flaw.
How come there isn't KYC for the link to submit your KYC information?
We all know that it is easy to cheat so an extra KYC step is only logical.

Once verified, you can then proceed to click on the link to submit your KYC information.

Honestly, I am pretty upset that bitcointalk overlooked this glaring error.
After all, the internet is full of weirdos and sickos.

I need information regarding this if it's April fool joke. But it looks it's getting serious.  We need further information regarding the kyc.  Seems everyone got a different opinions about this too. I need someone to confirm if truly the information is true. Thanks.

Theymos you got me on this =). It wasn't a long time since you pulled out an April fool last year. I like the dedication of all moderators and the team behind bitcointalk.org. I have learned and earned from this forum and lastly I don't want KYC to be implemented in this forum peace =).

That is not fair! Theymos is another bounty manager or who that he push us to do KYC?
How can I know my TAX id, when I never paid it? This I can´t fill, just leaving.

It's April fool bro. I think you didn't get the point ;D.  In April 1 on 2018 they also make fun like this. I didn't forget those moments.

it's a good 1st April joke and the KYC questions are quite funny ) especially about past, present, and future romantic partners )

Speak for urself.

Big brother? And you apparently mean Uncle Sam, dont ya?

This might make sense for americans / britans but how about u live in a country most of americans might not know even exists? How about we dont have KYCs nor surveillance cams pinned to semaphores on crossroads, nor do we have a doable coverage in the outskirts lol. Folks here dont spy on each other they cant afford it and nobody does give no crap. You have your citigroup or wells fargo account linked to the exchange u trade on for timely fiar2crypto conversion, dont you? And I cash out exclusively through local bitcoins. Have not done a single bank transaction in the past 5 years. U stick to ApplePay and mobile social networking and I have only twitter and reddit accounts.

Used to have facebook but dumped mine back in 2015. Accidentally converted it to business account and then it was forcefully nailed for massive spam on my side. Im kind of opposing everything facebook-related, blocking FB scripts in nano adblocker straight away. In all honesty Im curbing any scripts with request policy and got screen resolution rotators, timezone and font fingerprint spoofers running in all browsers I use.

And I dont exactly use android phones. I have a bunch of cleansed phones from which I purged IMEIs the day I bought them. We got only one carrier here which makes SIM cards that work with IMEI-free phones. And who is the fool now lel

These videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7apzf-8jqU around there are surely made to scare some sense of enlightenment into dumb crowd with false perception of intellectual maturity, and here Im referring not to lizardheads or stupids MAGAts but to those who consciously agreed to throw their privacy rights down the drain, and then expect that everyone else around the globe is up to do the same.

The joke cracked me up real good when I saw it. Asking for the sins one committed in the past, relationship stuff.. Hahaha.. Nice try. I just hope some newbies don't fall to it.

Panicked a little bit; it better be a joke please
I don’t do anything related to kyc online and the forum should let enjoy the atmosphere

Today April’s fool shouldn’t make us forget about upcoming ieos around exchange olatform

After reading the OP and some posts here, I fell good that I was actually not the only one who got fooled by this joke. I instantly thought about what is going to happen with this forum since over 50% of its users will go away because of this. Theymos always find the best jokes to make on 1st of April and I congrats him for this one, it was a good one

Damn.
For a minute there i got fooled, again :D.

On similar note, got fooled by news channel on April the first that Satoshi is back on " bitointalk.org" , they had a very convinicing " scrren" with his post in bitcointalk. Took me 10 minutes to  realise that it was a good joke.

When I was logged in on the forum I got surprised. after that, I had to keep calm think about the date  ;D ;D
