KYC of bounty hunters

[stunedi]

I do not find it right.It's ridiculous to give you your ID, especially on airdrops.The money you will win is very small.And not worth the risks you take.

Time equals money, but time does not always equal fiat. I think it is a hindrance to trouble bounty hunters for KYC compliance, but it really does weed out those who seek to exploit bounties for an unfair advantage.

Bounty programs are asking bounty hunters to do KYC before they are paid for work done . What do you think of this development.

I do not think this procedure is necessary for bounty hunters. For as long as they do their job right, they are worthy of being paid without any hassle. Thus, bounty managers must clearly inform or state in their rules if they are going to impose KYC. But as I said above, it is not important so they better not impose it.

There are some levels for the KYC, some are just requiring the email address to verify (don't ask me how I've seen in the Byteball front page) then verifying only the first and last name.
Then there next steps to verify the address, country... and I think this can only be done through government documents and utility bills to show them the scanned documents.
But in overall this KYC wasn't before for the bounty hunters and to be honest I don't like this, maybe through KYC they can identify the duplicate accounts that are joining bounty.

I don't think that it is worthwhile to hand over your own identity information to get a bounty. Your identity information may be used by those who commit crimes.

I think that this is the right solution, because now there are a lot of bots that earn dishonestly! And so let their work go in vain, only people who provide documents will receive their rewards. I support one hundred percent!

Avoid, new precedent trying to be set, the more people the give in, then you'll have to give you info out for every single airdropped/bounty out there.
It's very dangerous for you to trust these non-reputable individuals with your information and for the future of cryptos as a whole, yet no one is discussing this.

You can blame Polymath for this, they don't want to work harder filter to filter puppets, so instead they want your ID.


Edit: There is probably nothing we can do to stop this, because the vast majority of people trying to do airdrops are very likely to hand over their info without a second thought. This has major repercussions, some of the worst repercussions we will see ever in crypto.

The best thing you can do if you're reading this, is to not give in to these new information whores, who are more than likely to flip your IDs on the darkweb for a profit.

I agree, it is not a good trend and I fear it will only become worse in the future. Pay attention by sending your ID documents to the ICOs!

I also wonder what they do with personal info that investors and bounty hunters give to them. And wonder how secure they store it. Anyone who get their hands on that personal info can do identity theft easily. Never give more personal info then you absolutely must.

LCCX Exchange also wants KYC from the Bounty people. But they got very little money and no project. And the CEO is also not well rated at google. And that's where you're supposed to send all your data? That's very risky if it's scam

i think it is unfair ,if it was not said before bounty programm begins,first of all bounty payments arent that big for doing kyc. Some ICOs even do not ask for KYC if investment below 5 eth

I'm doing a bounty and I want to say that this is a good lesson. Of course ,those who are just beginning to develop in this direction need to be careful. Very carefully choose the projects in which you are going to participate otherwise you may stumble upon deception. I lead an average of 25 bounty and want to increase the amount of work! Good luck to everyone!

I'm against KYC. It seems to me that this contradicts the anonymity in crypto. I'm afraid to send my personal data to developers of some projects.

[mr.robot8]

even i do not like this trend at all, you never know where the documents sent via internet end up (sold on the darkweb?) and then do not know enough people who ask these documents a team of an ico never seen and known by anyone i personally do not ever make bounty that require kyc

[001Blockchain]

I have experience before one of the ICO that they ask my bank account number and history which is too much for a KYC.
KYC could be good to control cheaters but it could be use by a cheaters to use your identity in cheating.

[andriiklim]

and what? It's really easy to pass the KYC. If you want to earn by Bounty, for you it will be not a problem )

I dont like it, and many people here dont like it either, there is no reason for bounty hunters to take kyc, it is only for investors, bounty hunters must remain anonymous.

In my opinion it is a good developement, because the business comes more and more serious, so more rules are to be observed.

[xKARELx]

I think that this is not very convenient for the participants of these programs, since the system itself provides for anonymity, and people should exhibit here for show .. not quite an honest system, but what can you do about it

[mariamiltoft]

I think this will make it hard for the bounty hunter because many beginners join the bounty hunter program to get capital in investing in this crypto currency, and it will make it harder for the participants to do their work.

[bandungan]

kyc for bounty hounter seems unnecessary, because in my opinion the acquisition of coins that can be bounty hounter is very little and it is not feasible if using kyc. I agree the benefits of kyc is for the common good but I agree if kyc is only for investors.

[clairewarwick7866]

This is certainly a big stupidity, given that the figures involved are ridiculous. In any case, I do not send my data to an unknown entity for a few pennies.

[Longfellow27]

Others believed that it is not good since we are exposing ourselves to possible identity theft. We send information to sites we never knew that could only bring trouble for us. Yet their are countries where their governments do require this. On my part I felt the same as others do yet we have to do this to get rewards or else we won't be paid for the hard work we do. It is a sad situation for bounty hunters to receive only a very small amount of reward while being required to do it.
