Dear Bounty Campaigners
We have noted that many participants in our GBX Appreciation Bounty Campaign have misunderstood the rules for eligibility to join our program. This is despite the very clear guidance and procedures that we laid out when launching our campaign on 15 January 2018 with details released on bitcointalk (see link:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2757831.0 )
To recap, those wishing to participate in the GBX Appreciation Campaign were asked as a prerequisite under GENERAL RULE to do the following;
1. Join GBX’s Telegram group
2. Complete the GBX account registration and fulfill the KYC and whitelisting process (
https://rkt.gbx.gi/register )
3. Submit the KYC form (
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdfayMc8_QpY0XNw3Br671rzL4QMcQ8ikvcmzbZnelSC1cQSA/viewform )
Furthermore, since KYC validation was a mandatory exercise, we had to regretfully inform the Community that potential members from the following countries were not eligible to participate in our Campaign:
• USA
• China
• Republic of Korea
• Japan
• All U.N. Sanctioned Countries
When our Appreciation Campaign closed on 8th February, we observed that despite the clear guidance provided to the Community, there was a significant number of people that were confused by the process required by GBX, had consequently not completed successfully our registration and KYC procedures, had not filled out the KYC form, and yet still proceeded to join the campaigns.
As emphasized in our General Rule: KYC verification should be done first before applying to any campaigns for GBX. Failure to do so may mean that you do not receive tokens at the end of campaign.
The GBX team has, however, considered all the factors that have led to this unfortunate situation and, having listened to the Community’s concerns, wish to make the following announcement:
NEW KYC DEADLINE: 10 DAYS TO COMPLETE. CLOSING 27 FEBRUARY 2018
All GBX Bounty participants who registered for a new account at GBX before the program closed ( link:
https://rkt.gbx.gi/register) but
• have been unsuccessful in their attempts to submit KYC documents, and/or
• have been rejected, and /or
• have failed to complete the KYC form,
have until 00:00 UTC (midnight) on 27th February to collect all appropriate documents and resubmit them to the GBX team for a final round of KYC processing, assessment and approval.
Please note that all those that had not registered with GBX Bounty Program before 8 February, or had not attempted to complete the KYC process, will be excluded from all allocations. The same applies to all those Participants from the non-eligible countries listed above.
We of course understand that many bounty hunters who have followed our procedures correctly may be upset with the fact that we are offering another chance for those that have either genuinely misunderstood the GBX registration process, or were unsuccessful and did not have time to rectify matters. In the interests of fairness however, we owe it to all those that have been affected.
GBX is very grateful for all the hard work that the bounty hunters and our Community in general have performed, and we will make sure that everybody is compensated for the work that they have performed (as long as, they have attempted to follow the General Rules that were specified at the start of the campaign).
The GBX Team
