It seems to me that KYC is not important. and that it is not necessary at all to users, participants of the bounty program. And also the present, honest projects of ico do not need this procedure.
KYCs are actually helpful means to fish out fraudulent people. It is a method that proves to be effective should a company wishes to have a list of true and identifiable customers. And an actual means to make sure that an account does relate to a real world identity.
The problem with KYCs being used in correlation with cryptocurrency is that their ideals clashes. When crypto says your real world identity is not necessary to operate your crypto assets, a KYC seeks proof of it. When crypto is a promise of pseudonymity, KYCs says that we are securing your identity by letting us know who you really are.
So it is in this regard that KYC seems so much of an issue to the crypto community. But in effect, KYCs are actually helpful means to protect us .
