KYC for Airdrops: A bad precedence

[Haynes]

if it's like that I don't want to join the campaign, because it can destroy my life.
right with you, my identity can be stolen and it's very dangerous. anyway if the airdrop was a little bit token which is given its and it just wasted my time alone.

Airdrop with KYC = Yes
Airdrop not KYC = No

I would not advise you to participate in airdrops, this is a waste of time in 99% of cases. Time is the most precious thing we have, so it's better to spend time on something more useful. Moreover, I would definitely not give my documents for this.

I feel worried about the identity of being abused by irresponsible parties. Not appropriate for coin promoters or tokens to request KYC for a small number of tokens. I think a few drops of air can be set to get a copy of ID only. For the rewards program I consider it reasonable, but for airdrop programs there should be too much KYC.

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.

No one forces you to take part in airdrops and bounty campaigns. To be honest, tokens are not exactly cryptocurrency for me. You can be invloved to mining or just buy Bitcoin and no one will ask for your passport.

I think that KYC for airdrop is the most absurd solution they could come up with. Payments are rare and scanty, and here instead of solving problems with scammers, introduce KYC.

[Hui Ling]

I suggest do not submit your identity (kyc) to airdrop, because I think a lot of airdrop a scam.

[blackssmith2018]

No don't forward your personal Information to KYC airdrop it's a big scam they want it's our info if they collect all your info and it's very complete their is a chance to access your gmail also your other account like social media or trading exchange etc. because they have a prof if they trying to direct contact to the social media or any site the you use your personal imformation

[5stringer]

I figure it would not be justified regardless of the push to do this, with KYC not for Bounty or airdrop. I think KYC just applies to financial specialists with such expansive capital will be more sensible. In any case some Bounty or airdrop still applies KYC to project members.

[ZumbiLe]

it is smarter to look through another airdrop that doesn't utilize KYC to enroll on the grounds that airdrop is for the sake of entertainment for each which need to get free tokens. furthermore, if by one means or another they need to members to fill the KYC, at that point we don't need to join and we can participate in alternate airdrops. perhaps they need to know who is precisely the members however I don't imagine that for utilizing KYC is a smart thought for the members

[sakokinak]

This is free coins which we claim by social activity. Why do we should submit KYC ? I think it's not provide anything good in crypto market.

I agree. If the bounty hunters begin to pass the KYC because of several tokens we will soon lose our anonymity in the crypto currency.

[kicauklaten]

Maybe if the bounty with KYC is still in reasonable condition though also risky and data belonging to it will be unfortunate if misused. especially in the airdrop if you need KYC I guess is better than nothing at all should bear the risk of such things. let alone the airdrop often currently contains scam and phishing scams. of course, this will be the very high risk.

[Sniper76]

Do not in any way think to send your personal data to airdrops. Then 99% of them will be used for their own purposes, and you will not get anything.

[BADBITCH]

A very bd decision, but positively for me i run and neglect every airdrops that request for Kyc (know your customer).

In any case, all airdrop team should present their information before requesting for mine
it is totally unfair and unjust.
we must stop it

[avonka]

I would never submit my ID details for an Airdrop as nowadays there are mainly penny drops (  $2- $8 ) and asking KYC for that has no sense. Giving away ID details is dangerous with high risk to be scammed as data protection of these companies is questionable.

[Yana_M1]

I'm really hesitant to do KYC at first for I'm worried that they might use my details to scam others.I have done some KYC in my past bounties already only if I have a decent stakes but before doing KYC I made sure to research about the team and the developers of the project.And about airdrop KYC I haven't encountered an airdrop requiring kyc but if there is, I wont risk my identity specially if the project haven't established a name that could be trusted.

[feelingfroggy]

KYC is utter garbage.  Sending your documents online is an act of lunacy.  These companies cannot stop the hackers.  I figure most of these airdrops/bounties requiring KYC are just scams to grab personal data.  There must be some really desperate people to be sending in that info.

In some cases KYC is required, even I heard that an undertaking which not doing this is imagined as a trick venture by a few people. Yet, truly, I can't help contradicting that method in light of the fact that an airdrop must be anything but difficult to do since the members just get little measure of reward. The members are join airdrop to help the venture, right? At that point the moderator should give regard for them.

[Catmurs]

Well, I agree in airdrop of course very bad when you need KYC , then I am afraid that my documents would be walking somewhere on the Internet

[Nazarov]

I do not support KYC for the same reason.KYC for bounty was already too much for me, but for airdrop...

[juljon18]

I have seen articles where people who have sent in KYC Documents to a scam ICO and had their identity stolen.  You have to be very brave to send in documents like that.  Then you have to worry about where those documents go to be stored.  Identity could be stolen at anytime.  No thanks to KYC projects.
