I came across a bounty thread conducted by this gentelman:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=553066He is the bounty manager and has the following rule in his campaigns:
''-Lastly, By joining on my bounty program, You agree that we might require you to provide KYC at the end of campaign.''
I understand that we came from different parts of the world (he is from the philipines i guess and i am from europe) and we might not have the same understanding of things when it comes to personal identity and the laws around that.
In my opinion he does not reprezent a legal authority to require such information, he most definetly doesen't have the tools to secure that data....let's be honest, there were banks who got hacked by their personal information data...i doubt that a random dude from bitcointalk can secure them better.
My question for Theymos is:
1. Is he allowed to collect personal information from the members of the forum?
Btw, when i asked him if he thinked about the legal aspects of this, he replied ''I didn't forced anybody to join'' or something along this unintelligent line of thought
Edit: i almost forgot...he also requires selfies of people to confirm their identity
I just want to know your opinion on this matter, in case someone decides to join his campaigns and in case this ends up in an identity theft.
