Bitcoin Forum

Lately i'm just inspect most of the active Bounties in the forum and i even try visit those KYC requiring Campaigns i was find out that some of the campaigns are not accepting national ID's and requiring too much in order to recieve tokens I think its rude and too much what do you think?

Most campaigns that require KYC for bounty hunters usually won't do well, maybe the KYC will be collected and be sold off in the dark web. Just look for bounty that doesn't need KYC. I have the believe that cheating by hunters can be fought using technology, through different authentication.

I think we should limit our participation in campaigns that require KYC, please choose the project carefully.

There are still many bounties who do not do KYC and still pay with their tokens. There is even a price. If you do KYC carelessly, then your data can be misused by them.

It's my first time hearing a bounty that requires a KYC that didn't accept a national ID may I know what do you mean by too much? Do they required more documents? Well if yes I think it's really for a bounty to ask for more even if its against for spam and abusive users.

A KYC is only for investors and most of the projects accepts national ID to know their legibility but not from a bounty campaign. I suggest to stay away from that campaign as possible also from any bounties and airdrops that requires KYC to be able to participate. Don't sell your identity for a few tokens.

Last thing, can you name the project? So the users here can conduct their own review about the bounty and project itself.

It is very bad of them especially those that usually request for KYC after the end of the campaign. It's just a way of denying many hunters of their rewards but I don't have issues with those that requests for it in the beginning of the campaign.

The KYC process is bad when you have to send your ID and other documents for just $XXUSD, there is no sense of that when you're not investing money into the project.

Personally, I won't even give my ID to any of these shitty icos.. Some icos might make me send my papers but the others won't even gain my attention. I don't suggest sending your papers here and there.. Keep your privacy because the value that you will earn will not replace your hacked identity if you picked up a scammy bounty.

You always have the choice not to submit documents and IDs to them, you are not forced to join the bounty campaign either. What you could do is just to avoid it if you are very concern of your privacy and possible compromise. I'm also against it but we can't just object to it because its their rules so its best not to be subjected to it.

There a pkatform currently working to make kyc more efficient and fast you can check on telegram for it CETH

Lol
I think otherwise

Bounty kyc usually worth nought; we have lots of project that vanished even after kyc applications

So when you say cheating; I agree with you

But there is none that can be done to alter the effects

It's most likely the best way to delay payment or to avoid paying bounties. Most bounties would not announce the KYC requirement on campaigns not until the end of the campaign.

I honestly think that KYC is overused and should only be tied to token purchase, because right there is where the problem comes from because people would use their coin or token to buy a huge amount of it to do some money laundering that is why the KYC was created and implemented into these ICOs and not  to be used in the bounty campaigns, if they want to limit how much one could earn from their campaign or to counter the abuse of it they should just require the participants to be bitcointalk users with high ranks.

When it comes to transparency i agree with it but i am also concerned regarding the safety of the given data thru the KYC procedures and i believe the same goes for the most of us.

I don't like KYC, some of them just cheat and use data from participants for their own sake, I assume this because I have seen when they were found and the whole contents of the project are not in accordance with the facts. they are very bad

The more we try to avoid bounty campaigns that ask for KYC, the lesser they appear or compel bounty hunters to do the KYC.
What was really happening in those early days of bounty campaigns, that bounty participants were not asked to do KYC and now that they are being coerced to do it.
Is this time now better than then? No.
As a matter of fact, those early days that KYC was not required were much better.

Security first before anything else, KYC process for small amount of tokens where there's no assurance whether the coin will gained any value at all,
choosing to be secured and not being carelessly to participate and send important informations about your identity, balance the reason why or why
not to do it before make your decision.

Passport and Driving Licenses are widely accepted in all the exchanges and tokens KYC process. Some National ID may not be known to the concern team so for the better side we can use one among the above as I given.
Personally working on bounties and sharing the personal information is not at all good as my understanding.

You can choose the good projects which does not ask those information.

Passport is the most popular document so I think it's very normal when there is any bounty require passport for KYC instead of national ID. As I know it's very easy to make a fake national ID but it's almost impossible to make a fake passport, although there are few guys can do it but it'll take really long time and a lot of money. Beside, almost good bounty always require KYC to avoid scammers.

In general, I believe that the requirements to be tested by KYC for bounty hunters are illegal. This is contrary to the purpose of the KYC verification, and for some other purpose, it is illegal for us to require our confidential data and passport copies.
However, if such a test is carried out, then it should be at the initial stage of the ICO, so that everyone can see exactly what requirements for such a test are presented and have the opportunity to choose whether to participate or not.
As for the fact that some teams do not accept national documents for KYC, I am absolutely sure that this is done at the stage after the ICO, when they come up with hooks in order not to pay the earned tokens.

It's a bit of a tricky situation, because many of the bounty campaigns are set up in order to promote gambling or exchange services. It is the connected service that usually requires the KYC bit and it gets extended to any activity on the service. I am always skeptical of handing over identity documents, which can be used to commit fraud in your name, and you should only give them to the most reputable companies in the cryptocurrency space.

These days you almost have to assume this is going to be the case if you provide some questionable company with your personal information.  Even if it doesn't end up on the darknet, they would probably have no qualms about selling it to telemarketers, spammers and the like.

Op, you have to ask yourself if the reward for joining one of these bounties outweighs the risk of going through their kyc procedure.  Something tells me that most of them are not required to know their customers, and bounty hunters are not customers anyway.  They are pseudo employees working under the internet table. 

Don't give them your dox.  Nothing good can come from this.

I really do not like the procedure to pass KYC in any projects, but especially those that did not require it at the beginning of the bounty company. Many of them then turn out to be scammers.

There are several questions. First, who and why conducts such procedures. To eliminate multi-accounts? Not. Those who have bots, has many sets of documents. Why else? To not give part of the reward? Pennies...

Yes, if the project team requires almost impossible and difficult conditions for passing KYC - it should alert you. Most likely they have some problems with the distribution of tokens and thus they want to weed out a large number of participants.

A turn down if it is heading that way, Most probably it will be skipped by the ones who dont want to give out control of there info and they are right. Sooner or later it will leak/be shared.

its not normal, I understand if KYC when u take a part on pre-sale or etc., but why on bounty, too much project scam, and i do not want take him my personal information

In my opinion it's better to avoid bounty campaign / airdrop that require KYC procedure. You won't really know where your documents will be sent and it's too risky for just a couple of dollars..
Nowadays there are lot of campaigns in the crypto ecosystem, I'm pretty sure you can find lot of them without worrying on KYC and others strange things :)  

They aren't accepting national IDs as part of their KYC?

What the heck, then what they are asking now? bank account details? credit card account details? Just stop complying to their KYC requirement, you'll never know how and where they'll use your IDs and other important details if you'll pass on their KYC.

Today some crypto companies want to get as more information about you as they can. They are doing it for making some social forecasts and inside analytics. KYC is not only a method to get a validation of your person but also to make their future promotions better. As for me I don`t see any bad things it this procedure but surely be patient and look for worthy organizers which will accept your passport.

The problem is that many bounties does not state at the beginning of the bounty that KYC is needed. They announce it when the bounty is finished and then if you do not want to reveal your identity you end up working for nothing. The rules should be clear from the beginning and everybody can decide to participate or not.

So, what's the matter?
Nowadays, there are many more ICOs that obligate the bounty hunters to fulfill KYC requirements in order to claim the rewards and receive it.
KYC is not kind of strange thing although actually personally I feel a mind of this. Sometimes, if fulfilling the KYC process and we don't get the worthy rewards, it is so annoying. Moreover, there are also some scammers that utilize our KYC document for something wrong. They make us as the bounty hunters to feel worried about it, always. That is why we must be more careful in facing and completing the bounty with KYC requirements.

I think there are some countries that are not accepted by users of KYC procedures. I suggest that you don't easily give your identity data to people you don't know. It's better to still not participate in projects that do not use KYC because it will be safer.

The most simple solution for that problem is just do not join those kind of campaign if you are not comfortable submitting your personal document. Those projects that requires KYC do that mostly because they need to comply to their state's law because the project are regulated by official government. I believe those project also irritated by KYC requirement since it also time consuming and need more effort. But, when the KYC are comply with government regulation it will less likely to become a scam.

So there is always an option and bounty hunters always have a choice.

Having KYC is somewhat proof for identity, don't just go on participating a bounty campaign then giving out personal information to the ICO, but if the information that is being needed is not confidential then you should go for it, and if you really want to avoid and stay anonymous on the forum then there are hundreds of bounty campaigns that does not require the need of KYC in order to join.

Doesn't really mean it's bad. And there are actually bounties that require KYC before distribution so I don't get your point on the "no sense" thing. And not all. Bounties that require KYC are bad projects. INS required KYC before and it actually became profitable.

Be thankful they are requiring KYC procedures upfront. There were bounty campaigns that suddenly require KYC submissions mid-stream into the campaign, sometimes even after the campaign has ended. Talk about double speak.

I have never questioned the real KYC. Because what I saw first was how the project was. If the project is good, of course I will always be ready to do KYC. And also the project in my opinion is not good and not potentially of course I can't do it because I just waste my time doing KYC for projects that are not good.

What! National IDs weren't enough? What kind of requirements they really need, birth certificate? Lol. I haven't experience such thing before until now (since I'm not really into bounties) but in my perspective it is really unfair. It's just like you are the slave and they are your master, payments and benefits are not yet assured because of their mistreating attitude (KYC) towards you.

If I were you, stop it already. Your time will be wasted if you continue. Much better if you'll just find other ways of living.

Many campaigns don't require KYC to participate in the beginning, then at the last hour, at the time of paying, they invent the need to do, I have seen this happen many times. If it's already a rule in the beginning, you decide whether or not to participate.

Currently to accept the token bounty must complete the KYC / ID may to prevent there cheat, such as making a double scammer account but not all bounty requires KYC

too complicated and troublesome, even in some bounty cases, there are also those who cannot accept the documents that have been sent. this is obviously very complicated and difficult, because first bounty does not require kyc and everything works well.

Majority of them only accepts passport and you have to do a selfie with you holding the ID and it's not a guaranty that you will automatically pass you will have to wait a week or two before you'll know that you have passed,  this is one of the risks that you have to take, the best that you can do is just to make sure that you are participating in a legit ICO that is compliant, to the country where they are operating or don't participate.

There are still so many bounty campaigns that do not require KYC. We cannot blame the project if they require KYC for the hunters, they are just complying in law. If you guys don't want to do KYC then don't join bounties that requires it rather join that bounties that didn't require.

in fact they don't want to pay fee to bounty hunter .i will ignore the bounty project which require KYC.

avoid it if it doesn't make sense, there are still many projects that receive tokens prizes without having to do KYC requirements, KYC systems are often misused by them for any purpose, especially if it's only to get tokens from airdrop obviously not comparable.

Personally, I don't like to do KYC for the bounty. Nowadays I am not so active for the bounty campaign. but when I was very active I didn't join any bounty that asked for KYC.because I don't trust anyone with my personal documents.If they want they can sell my documents for quick bucks.so be careful where you are giving you personal documents.
For just only bounty it's not wise to share personal documents. you can skip those bounty project, If you found the project is really good and everything is fine then you can do it. but I don't support it at all.

but usually, a KYC bounty has more value/rewards than the bounty that has no KYC
by using KYC it prevents a participant to join more than 1 account in the bounty  

This is completely scam but nothing we can do other than stop joining bounties,if you still join then you may faces these situation in the future as well.Make demand for bounties then only bounty will make offers in the favour of hunters.

Why did you decide that KYC verification should be applied in this forum so that one of its members does not have several accounts? Can you name the regulation that provides for this? Does this require the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)? Or is it your invention? Or do you repeat this contrived basis behind others?
Do not write these nonsense. The KYC check should be used only for the prevention of money laundering and the fight against the financing of terrorism. Bounty hunters, not being investors in ICO projects, can be related to money laundering or terrorism?

even though its a means to checkmate and weed out bots and greedy people taking party in a campaign but personally i am not comfortable with kyc. most times many of campaigns that require this dosent do well at the end of the day because its a not a guarantee to measure excellence of a project. a bad project is still bad with or without kyc and vice versa.

It depends to them if they require KYC in their bounty campaihbs because that is their money or token and depends to them if they implement KYC or not. If you see that they havd requirements don't participate that's it is only a simple logic.

I often see bounty campaigns that offer an exchange then with 99% this type of bounty campaign will need KYC to join with. Because the participant will get the token through the exchange, you may know the avarage of centralized exchange will need KYC for the user. But for the bounty campaign that offer a project token or coin then they won't need KYC to join with. Because the avarage project token or coin will use decentralized system instead centralized system. I only see that, but I don't know the exact reason as a whole, because I'm not bounty hunter I just watched a number of new projects emerge.

The requirement of the ICO team for bounty campaigners to pass KYC checks is a complete abuse of their part. It is illegal because no state or government agency requires KYC to be checked by the participants of the bounty ICO campaigns. At the same time, such a claim is a violation of our right to privacy. Such anarchism and wildness with KYC verification should be eliminated by government regulation of this process.

I also began to limit my participation in several projects that requested excessive KYC documents, such as passports, electricity bills, bank accounts and so on.
I can still tolerate if they only ask for a national ID.

Its quiet so unfortunate that so much is expected of us to earn what we worked for this so disturbing but at same time i make compulsory to have projects that do not require so much for kyc verification i feel its better that way thanks

I know the KYC really annoys a lot of people and in some cases, quite rightly so, because many of the campaigns turn to scam or never pay us. I did some big jobs for these really huge type of coins they wanted all this, that and the other and still, after like 8-12 months, I am not getting paid lol. On the other hand, you have so many rampant thieves and cheaters doing the rounds in the bounties, it's getting so irritating for the honest bounty folks, that many companies now want KYC done so that the cheaters don't steal honest people's work. I lost a lot of jobs because some bounty thieves were using my identity and content to steal my bounties from me lol, which is a joke.

There are a lot of instances when the KYC requirement is not revealed during the initial phases. Only when the campaign ends and the bounty hunter requests for the bounty to be paid, this requirement is revealed. This is just one of the methods used to cheat the bounty hunters of their reward. There are other methods as well. For example, in one case after the campaign ended the promoters informed the users that they need to install a software in order to receive their tokens. Most of the users refused, as the software was flagged as spyware.

dont join those type of campaign, and also dont give out your personal information to them, more and more bouny campaign will encourage to do KYC, if you do give your information, and i want escrowed bounty campaign to be a thing to prevent bounty hunters to being scammed, usually they add KYC at the end of campaign which is equivalent to scam for me atleast.

First of all, giving your personal information to some random shit on the internet is not good because they can sell your information to the black market for a cheap price so why bother to join in these kind of bounties. If I'm in your situation right now, I will not join in any bounties that requires KYC. There are many bounties out there who doesn't require KYC to get the rewards. Why don't you just join on them.

There is no other chance to escape from this trap and there is a requirement to pass KYC procedure for getting the bounty token. Bounty campaigns are used for getting more BTC by bounty hunters and the market conditions followed by dumped bounty tokens. Hard workers are paid in such campaigns but there is no chance to escape from KYC in case of having a special requirement by the team.

in my opinion, KYC in the designation for bounty is not suitable, it must only be investors who must. because the identity of the bounty is of no use to them.

Yeah  . not all bounties have a kyc and i suggest to not risk your personal infos for cheap amount of tokens because thats not worth it . like the guy said , what if they will sell your identity online for a higher price ?  They are the ones that earn big but aside from that . you are also risking your name and reputation  . anyway , there are sig campaigns that pays in btc but they are not requiring a kyc  . why would you not try them ?  

It's not being rude. They are just taking precautions so that people do not abuse their campaign. No ones forcing you to join their campaign. If you feel "offended" and that they are acting "rude" then just ignore them and join another campaign. There are also risk of that campaign being a scam. After scamming people, they might even sell your identification.

In general, it has recently become frequent that after the passage of the LCP, developers disappear and no one gets any coins. Most likely our documents are resold!

I suggest, don't submit KYC & don't join any bounty campaign that requires KYC. Because they are just taking your data & will sell to other companies at a cheaper price. They can ask KYC from their token sale contributors but asking KYC from Bounty participants is just misuse the power. But it's so unfortunate that some projects ask KYC at the end of the bounty. I suggest boycott them it's not worth to sell your personal documents for money. Also, everyone should see the people behind the project and the campaign manager's past. My suggestion will be to ask their telegram group before joining any bounty campaign and save it as proof.

Though Bounty campaign will reduce day by day. As the only way to raise money now is IEO. It would be Better looking for another way to earn those tokens.

most of bounty that i joined before need kyc and ended with scam project. i think they sell our data to web or someone
now better never put any kyc to bounty or airdrop

For me, I don't have any problem with KYC, but unluckily  since i joined bounty program that required KYC that program are not successful in terms of payment. But until now i still working bounty which requires KYC. I hope that this is just a normal failure project because i still do believe on it and never give up.

I have always opposed KYC for bounties, we are not clients or investors, we do the work for which we are paid, why we pass KYC I do not understand. It attracts scammers who conduct ICO only to collect documents.

Completely ignoring the bounties is the only way if you don't want to submit KYC because normally KYC will be asked by the team at the end of campaign duration so the participants were forced to do if they want to get their bounty rewards.

Agree with you. nowadays most of the bounty project is a scam. most of them also asked for KYC, but they were not able to succeed. I also think after the end of the bounty they can easily sell our personal information at the dark web at very cheap rate for some quick money.so don't put your personal documents at some unknown place. If you believe the team and project then you can do it. but remember, There is a huge risk.

The problem is not what is required, the problem is that people are happy to give their data  to someone unknown. And even repeated examples of the fact that the documents were then sold online does not teach them. I am categorically against KYC for bounty which data they would not require.

That's not really too much but what really is the worst part is, they will not ask for KYC even if you ask them before you joined their campaign, but after you accumulate a huge number of their token, they will now announce that you need to go through their KYC, and this is a clear violation and they are trying to hostage the tokens you work hard to earn.

Bounty campaigns have the luxury to ask for so much information because there are many bounty hunters that are willing to do anything just to get some tokens and they are willing to give up any kind of information to a bunch of strangers and to go against the ideals of cryptocurrencies just to get a  few dollars and as long that is true KYC for bounties will continue.

I'm sure it's not just my luck, many bounties requiring KYC has never for once pay me so I wonder why people are still joining those kind of bounties,its kinda fraudulent activity to me, maybe your IDs are sold off? Who knows

..yeah that's right..and most of the bounties that do KYC are scam..so let us just limit joining bounty campaigns..it is worrisome to do KYC because you'll need to give your private info,which violate our rights to have privacy..our personal information is private and we have the right not to disclose any of our information..so better avoid bounties which requires KYC to avoid regrets in the future..

I have already expressed my opinion on KYC on such topics many times, but I think that KYC is a process created artificially to create problems for people. We have to bypass these requirements, because KYC is only SEC requirements and they should not be related to cryptocurrency

I, in turn, can say that I received a good reward in the bounty campaign, which required KYC verification. So we can't say with certainty that all such projects - scam This is not true. Although I wouldn't mind if KYC were canceled for bounty, and would be left only for investors.

If the ICO teams do not accept national documents for their KYC checks, then I’m absolutely sure that such a KYC check is carried out after the ICO and it is carried out only in order for artificial reasons not to pay to the head hunters the tokens they earned.
It should be said that the KYC check on bounty hunters is generally illegal, since it should be carried out only with the aim of preventing the laundering of dirty money and fighting the financing of terrorism. ICO bounty campaigners do not invest in ICO projects and therefore cannot be suspected of laundering dirty money or financing terrorists. Therefore, only KYC investors can be tested. ICO teams are now abusing their rights, taking advantage of the fact that this activity is not yet regulated.

Actually, if you found a good project with a great future plan then its okay to do KYC for bounty or as an investor. I did KYC for Gladius coin bounty, It was one of the great projects.but soon SEC announces that it would be a security token.so why sold all of my coins and get out from this project. however, Doing KYC for some good project is okay.you just need to be careful where you are submitting your Documents.

Comparing to the ico campaign that are not requiring KYC is much better and good to participate in,  rather than the campaign who are requiring KYC for the bounty participants. Sometimes because of KYC the distribution was being delayed and sometimes also its being unfair too for the bounty participants in some other way. However, there is an instances that if there are some campaign requiring KYC there is a big chances that their token has potential to increase its value in the future.

Some project bounties do apply different rules. But if the regulation has been too strict and has made no sense, we should protest. because I have also found a project bounty which, in the beginning, implemented normal KYC regulations, but along with the distribution that the manager campaign provided complex requirements. so it could be that the project wants to hinder distribution and that it is a bad strategy, we deserve to be sued and based on existing rules. We can give an argument and that is our right as a bounty participant.

As you know kyc is almost compulsory requirement for ICO's and also for bounties so if your ID card not in English than you will not get approved you should make driving licence or ID card in English.

Most projects allow National ID, Driving license and passport for the KYC, a few of 'em has Passport only option with the driving license in an alternative. KYC is not always bad, but it should not be for airdrops or bounties. I know some airdrops require KYC for the $1 worth token, that make sense what they gonna do with these data.

There are platforms that conduct kyc and I feel safe getting it done with them. Some projects have registered with them.
These platforms do not store real pictures which can be stolen, rather, they store the ash of the submitted documents.
I prefer using them than submitting my documents to those I do not trust.

AFAIK if the informations in the national ID is written in English, this should not be a problem. But if the information in identity is written only in own language, it is the government's wrong. There is a world language, no need to learn the language of each country.

And who the hell among us who's in right mind that will provide our personal data for only a single penny, I think it's not worth to risk your ID for that small rewards that you'll gonna get, it's not good to give your information in some project who don't have any potential not for airdrops because of the
higher chance that they'll gonna sell your personal data in the black market.

This is a good point because they want to verify that their bounty participants are not cheat or belong to countries that do not accept during the token sale process when participating in the bounty. However, if the bounty ends and they do not accept some participants from some countries, it is wrong

If you agree to provide your documents to the developers then you can agree with the administration of the community and explain the whole situation. But the question remains - do you need it? You give your personal data and you may not get anything for it.

For the good of kyc for ico investors to find out who are the buyers of coins in their ico because there are many scammers and bowels in the ico to find out who is not true but if the kyc bounty will be discussed for me this is not right for bounty hunters because they have privacy in themselves to hide their personality so for me or my openness is incorrect to have kyc in any bounty that is being released to be a bounty manager of the joining their bounty to protect the good members of the cheats using multiple accounts in bounty.

I do not think it is very necessary to require from bounty hunters to undergo a KYC process every time and after each bounty programme. In my opinion, team members just do not want to give away so much tokens, thats why they are doing KYC at the end.

Could you tell us with specific details about what bounty campaign did you visit ?
From my experience with KYC-required bounty campaigns, my KYC always accepted.
If you cannot submit your documents for KYC, then i guess you will have to find other bounty.

Also some are requiring billing address and I think it attacks my privacy and the anonymity becoming nonsense. Becoming ironic that the cryptocurrency supposed to be anonymous. So it is really rude at all even on the national IDs and another thing is that what if the ICO is a scam then our identities and location is known to bad people.

It is acceptable if it's an exchange that gives KYC for security purposes. But on bounty campaigns on where the payments are not yet confirmed? I think not this time and it really needs changes.

very bad, the KYC that is applied to a bounty that does not give us a guarantee to get the appropriate payment, no matter how difficult it is as long as we can match what we get, the difficult one is not a problem at all.

They require passports because this is what's in demand in the black market, they want and buy these credentials that do a selfie with them holding their passports, it's better if you can ask them if you can watermark your selfie with the name of the project where you are doing KYC, if they don't want, then something is really wrong and you should be very careful.

If that happens, of course, it is very disappointing. But that has become Team's policy and we can't do anything. If the project has good potential, we must follow the steps they recommend.

Maybe they made a decision adding KYC on the bounty because we see so many alt accounts that handled by one people.
That's really made the bounty rewards become less. And that's why the bounty manager made a KYC method to solve this problem.

Not all campaigns, this issue of KYC just suddenly became a trend that virtually every project started requesting for including airdrops, we have both black and white sheep in the market and they both request this, hardly will you get any campaign now that does not request for.

Rather than giving ourselves headaches and drinking panadols on their problems. We just have to make sure we pick one or two projects to research on and only drop our KYC with any project that is certain to us that they will last long and stand the test of time, or better still, we abstain completely from campaigns.

Passport is the most popular document i agree with you but i think majority of the people not owned because it’s only used to visit in abroad. NID is most using documents in the every countries. Also i facing this problem to complete KYC NID instead of passport or driving licence. Electricity bill is also using document.                   

Probably you have not done your research well, we still have lots of bounties out there that doesn’t require KYC and I think at this point that most projects are finding it difficult to reach their target, this KYC need to be dropped, they are using it to discourage a lot of investors and users more, as we have many investors that are so skeptical about releasing their information.

Investors are not the scam here, I understand vividly that they have a part too to play in cleansing the system, but it is unfortunate that the ones that really needs cleansing are now the ones trying to clean us. What an irony, I am sure very soon, majority of the ones requesting for it will drop the request.

If KYC is a pain for you then don't join the ICO or bounties which require the same. I understand the concern of people sharing their information to a completely new and sometimes anonymous/fake project. But there are tons of other bounties and ICO which doesn't have the requirement of kyc. You can probably join them. With all the regulations in various countries, it is important for the projects to hold KYC in order to run their project.

Bounty hunters are just creating awareness about the project, so why they have to go through KYC (know your customer). This is too much and Is there any guarantee that your personal information would be safe and it wouldn't be handed over to the third party or traded for money. As these days, data is money and it can also be sold.

I do also agree KYC is pain in the ass. Why is the need of your personal information when joining a bounty campaign? How about when you joined a bounty  and you're still under 18 with no KYC, so you're going to use your parents identity?

As regard to kyc, I do not think there is any rule on BTT as regard to that. There are still plenty bounty that do not require kyc here on btt. Regarding to document. I do believe from experience that many of this bounty are looking for way to reduce number of token they will distribute to hunters at the end of the campaign. Some of them will initially keep muted during the bounty period but as soon as the campaign is over, they will start coming up flaming excuse. That is when you will discover they are not accepting your documents for kyc. It is save to do non kyc bounty than the one that require one.

Most of them are offering useless tokens without any value, so it doesn´t make any sense to send them your identity to receive nothing.  :-\ ::)

I met KYC in the project Atlant. After the bounty, they broke payments for many months and later introduced kis to pay the bounty reward. Later, besides KYC, they wanted to receive on 1 ETH as confirmation of the address. It seems to me that this is unthinkable. And outrageous.

Yes, that's the way it is. Sounds like a good goal, but there is also a downside. The only problem is after we completing the KYC process, we are only paid with worthless tokens, so we give our identity for free. Because of this, KYC requirements for us become worst.

KYC is just an excuse not to pay bounty hunters and the requirements now is alarming, you will be asked to give your Skype details and even pay some eth in order to recieve token😔

I also align with your method too, now that most of them are now requesting for KYC and there is little to which we can do to handle this since we cannot impose our own decision on them, we just have to be extremely picky about projects.

We should only engage ourselves in projects that have very high potential and can guarantee an increase in our investment even if we leave for a long term. Any projects such as airdrop and co, I don’t bother trying to check it out immediately I see KYC as requirements. The only projects I see that we may not have control over are the ones that doesn’t request for KYC during participation, but after participation.

Its one of those reasons I don't like joining most campaigns with KYC. Its sometime irritating when you work so hard on a campaign and still facing difficulties I'm order to receive your reward.

It is a shame that a market that was created with the idea of giving some level of privacy back to the people is rapidly morphing and becoming more like the fiat system we already have, and in several aspects it is becoming even worse, because when you share your personal data with a business you know at least there are some laws that do not allow them to use your information as they want but that is not true in this market and I am sure there are several projects out there that do not care at all about the money they could get what they are after is your personal information so they can sell it on the dark web.

You must be careful about projects that need KYC. Many projects like that but the project does not reach the Exchange market. And I see more ICO projects can succeed without using KYC. And I suggest that you be more careful in determining a good project.

Ideally we should ignore those campaigns which ask for KYC. But there is one major issue with regards to this. Some of the bounties never mention about KYC in the beginning and when the campaign is about to end, they will say that KYC is mandatory if you want to receive your tokens. This has become more like a norm now, rather than an exception.
