KYC for airdrops sounds like a scam. I think the only case when it can be okay is ICO and bounty along with airdrop where you need KYC

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

I on the other hand, as much as possible, evade those campaigns that require kyc. But there are also those that keeps kyc silent then at the end, there it is surprise. 😬

But with regulations in many countries to which most of these campaigns are, KYCs are required.
Regulation is a good thing because it institutionalizes crypto products and assets, but many are opposed to kyc.
Even me to some extent

I agree with your opinion. What do they need from my information? I'm just a bounty hunter, I'm not an investor. Airdrop most are paid little, if they need kyc, I will not participate

I do not see the point because of a couple of dollars to pass the KYC. If there is still a desire to do this, it is better to purchase a package of documents and selfies, but do not spread your personal documents

I like this system because it allows users to become part of the project when they receive project tokens. This can have a positive impact on the development of the project and will cause great interest of users

I am against the KYC for members of the bounty campaigns. I think this is acceptable only for large investors. I believe that the use of KYC is at variance with the basic principles of crypto currencies.

I am definetely not participating in one of those. First off, majority of airdrops are scam and coins don't even get traded, listed ij the market and worse, doesn't even have an ICO. Second, you are too vulnerable for copy cats/scammers who want to earn from donations in exchange of these so-called free coins (which is actually not free) Third, they can all just promise an airdrop, prepare a form where some unknowingly participated, did the KYC and passed personal information which the party will now sell on some companies in exchange of information such as names addresses and contact details.

So, no. Definitely and truly not safe to do that.

I will never take part in such projects, it is immediately clear that scammers who will later use your personal data for their own purposes.

There are plenty of scams KYC emails for popular ICOs and airdrops around recently. They redirect you to a fake MEW website. Be vigilant out there, guys!

Please don't send your personal information through KYC form, for only few tokens. I personally don't participate with airdrops who demanding for KYC. Personally I don't trust on airdrops. Most of them are not needed by the market. They are developed for data collection.

For many backers of ICO to take Know Your Client is ridiculous for an limited contribution and a  unreasonable obligation with limited benfit.

It is not compulsory to get into Airdrops if their terms is not good for you. I don't know why people complain about everything, you are not told to bring money, but remember everything has a price and you either pay for it in cash or in kind.

 I think it's necessary for those who buy tokens, but for those who participate in a bounty campaign I think it's an excessive and very annoying measure

the concept of kyc applied to any crypto is crazy but when you start talking about things like bounties and airdrops it's absolutely ludacris.

I do not participate in such an airdrop where you need to pass KYC. Many of them can be SCAM and simply collect information. Be careful with this!

I think if airdrop asks KYC it is a very unreasonable thing, because airdrop is just a free coin that has a value of only $ 30 .. since a few months ago a lot of airdrop scam and now they ask for our identity
