I try not to give away any personal details. Nobody knows what other people do to you with that information. Better trust nobody..

If the site has a license and is legit like Perfect Money and PayPal, I don't mind to upload my ID proof. Identity theft can be an issue even in the case of bank accounts wherein online bank accounts get hacked and even email IDs. If I need a payment processor/exchange website to sell my bitcoins or store money online, I have to get my account verified then. There's no option.

I agree bit I still have the feeling even when they are legit and have a license for it its pretty risky because if this will leak your details will lay on the streets waiting for big trouble..

I've never been comfortable with putting documents like that online. Social security number, license ID, passport ID, it all feels very unsafe when putting it online. Unfortunately in today's world nearly all job applications are online so you just have to go with it basically. LifeLock isn't looking so bad now is it lol.

As much as possible i won't give any personal documents or ID online especially on today's world. But for trusted sites or company, i don't mind giving especially if it's needed to confirm your identity (still bother me though). One example is on our bitcoin local exchange, you need to take a selfie with your ID to increase the amount of money you can cash out. (i still don't trust anybody) Identity theft is the most common cases here in our country or maybe in some other countries too. People just need to be careful.

Identity theft for men is not a matter of concern if you do not have enough to ose but if you have got enough to lose yes it become a problem . I think there should be a special key for login and not those shits like ID and passswords .

Why is money a concern here ? Its basically your reputation on the line. If a guy uses your ID to do something illegal online and is able to social engineer your email or a service you use and do something illegal, then you are likely going to be held responsible for it. Its not only about losing money.

It will depend where are you giving your identity and to whom? For example if you are giving to the reputed exchange then it will be safe enough to consider that it will not be misused. But if you feel its a new exchange/person then obviously it will be a risk to say.
Also why does localbitcoin require the identity?

When it comes to bitcoin, we are here for anonymity, so obviously not a good idea. But I think we should verify at some places in order to get everything going smoothly, where it is needed at a greater extent.

for some websites and services you have to provide your ID. so if there is no alternitive for it, you will have to do so or forget about using this services. if I trust the site and it is well-known company. then there is no problem for me to do so

It's still not good to confirm your identity on bitcoin local exchange websites. I've seen many such exchange wesites selling user's identity and one can easily buysell our details for some few bits. I never uploaded my ID anywhere on the internet except with PayPal that's recognized online bank.

I'm not a big fan of giving my Identity online. But if service with good reputation require to give my ID - I don't think thats a big problem. It's almost impossible to use legal services and at the same time stay anonymous.

It is not good to put your ID on the internet and we are using bitcoin for anonymity but in some reason we have to provide our ID for using some service on the internet like here in my country , we are using a wallet is also offering a cashout from the banks, remittance center and etc . Before we can use that systems we really need to provide a valid ID so the service and the banks or remittance center can verify our identity .

I agree bit I still have the feeling even when they are legit and have a license for it its pretty risky because if this will leak your details will lay on the streets waiting for big trouble.. I also agree with that if i know the site very legit and their company is government registered well i will follow their kyc rules if they required just like our wallet provider today there updating things like having selfie verification and id verify so they can sure that the people using their service is not a fraudster and thats ok to me since they are legal and theirs no doubt to my site giving my legal docs to them. Unlike any other malicious site that asking for our ids nah i beg to dont give my ids to them im vigilant in that thing and situation so i will not compromise in the future.

But in theory, any site can be hacked, therefore even trusted sites can't be trusted with your id. Maybe they won't take your id and run, but maybe a hacker would.

Also why does localbitcoin require the identity?
Some (most usually the ones with the best rates) here in Australia require an ID. I have no idea why, because I only trade using cash in person. They don't need my ID for that, do they?

Localbitcoins doesn't require Identity, but its the traders on there who sometimes do to be sure the neteller accounts weren't created on a fake ID or fake account names, which sometimes could be set up to charge back or just cause troubles.

It depends men, if they budgeting the security features on their site will surely we might get compromise but for the fact that they really require it so we can access some other feature and proving im real user and obliged to give some docs to use there service well i will do upload my docs, as long as they are legit site and registered under the government law, If their site hack well its their liabilities to fix things up since it is their obligation to protect Their costumer as part of the service they are given to us.

i don't mind sending my ID to a company as long as they don't put it available for everyone else to see. if its just for verification, i guess i can't do anything else but send my drivers license to prove i'm real.
