KYC for Airdrops: A bad precedence

[bulgar_84]

I dont give my kyc informations to any airdrop, I dont trust any airdrop for this. İcos must want kyc it is normal and I give my kyc to icos but I dont like airdrops much because sometimes I see somebody can get laid.

It is not such a bad thing, especially with all the thieves and bounty cheaters that run rampant in the bounty space. I have had a terrible time with cheaters trying to steal my work and my wife's name as well here on Bitcointalk forum because of our long reputation here and they are acting very badly. So for this reason, a certain level of kyc is required or for people at least to post all their details in a post in the thread.. That is another way to prove they are the real person versus the thieves who just join and put other usernames on the spreadsheets pretending to be us in order to get paid in airdrops and bounties which is disgusting behavior.

If they want to know their personal data, the popularity of their companies will decrease significantly. And the Constitution has not been canceled. Why did we have to provide personal information to unidentified persons.

[legia]

I just think why there is not a global solution for KYC, i.e. if I do KYC once for an ico, it can be used for different icos too...

[saycryptohello]

Personally, I would be careful not to send my personal information to anyone. Send data only to those projects that you really trust

[delarossa]

I was actually rather surprised. why this airdrop should now use kyc as a condition for us to get token. The KYC should only apply to investors who buy tokens and investments there. If for bounty hunter I think there is no profit. Not that I really hate this KYC. but I hope that there will be no unfortunate occurrences in relation to this KYC issue.

Even if the team has issued some strict rules, we can choose to refuse to participate. Of course, this is really a bad thing.

[Carisba]

I don't like it.You can't trust anyone sending personal information

[Olatunjex]

What a joke, i am wondering what kind of airdrop will it be that will prompt me to upload my document to receive an airdrop. The only reason is of the airdrop will fetch me whooping amount of returns.

Such cases, when it is necessary to pass KYC - increases, even for members of the bounty of companies. They say that without a difference, you participated in airdrop, bounty, or you invested in projects, all who will receive tokens must undergo this procedure. But we choose companies and accept their rules, we always have a choice ...

For myself, am seriously not in support of kyc for airdrops that holds less value but on the their hand, many persons create as many accounts to be able to participate in airdrops and that defeats the aim of the airdrop.

[fitty]

I have personally try to avoid submitting my own personal documents to companies in order to take part in airdrops, as you would never know what will the companies do with all your personal documents after they received it, and I think most of the companies does not even have a secure security system in place to protect those important documents of the participants.

That's the point why i am also not joining even in a legit campaign, I knew KYC is needed to lessen the amount that a participants must buy and the other hand is the investors it should be more focus on their legalities to before requiring participants to submit any valid proof in this we are near in having such a problem in the case that someone use our identity in doing illegal activities.

Yes, you either agree and participate, or you don't agree and pass by.
But I wouldn't take part in the airdrops at all, especially in those where KYC is required

[SOGabriel]

i personally don't support the idea of submitting KYC for Airdrops, but it becomes more require when most airdrops faucets are been cleared up by bots instead of real humans... this companies don't wanna pay to bots but humans who can actually add value to their project or be a potential investor. So i think the introduction of KYC in most cases is to filter out bots and cheaters. Just my opinion.

[dharnamonitor]

Who the hell would give their identity just for airdrops? Lol. Unless you're planning to invest but still not sure if the project will work and will properly keep those info they gathered we all know that some ico's are scam.

I have recently seen where bounty hunters were asked to present identifying documents.  Am really against kyc because one of the reasons I joined crypto was the anonymity which it provides. But sadly that's gently creeping away.

Now this KYC has come into airdrops. Imagine am to submit my ID to some I don't know which planet he or she or they are from for some pennies worth tokens. 

It's terrible and this is a bad precedence these people are setting.

If as a community we do not say no to this,  then it would become the norm.

Will do you KYC for few bucks? This is impossible and probably they want your ID only for selling on the black market,

[gunhell16]

will never join any airdrops that required KYC " KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER "
well there are a lot of airdrops that are just scams, and we are in danger with our information in public.
a 2 stones to hit us if they are a scam.

[Evgeniy18582960]

I think that for airdrops it is bust (although a couple of times I met such with large payments). Some confidentiality should still remain, because the documents required for presentation are serious enough, and when they are used by other persons there may be problems

[Andrej Peiboski]

It is certainly an annoying thing, but it is a necessary step towards regulating the system. We can not complain about the scams and the lack of clarity, if then when we ask something that helps to put a little order we refuse.

Such airdrops should be ignored, plus we need to draw the attention of other people to the danger of participation in them. I think if everyone does this, then this practice will not spread.
