Will you consider realising your personal information for the purpose of getting airdrop that may end up worthless?
Don't you think KYC for airdrop is another method of stealing people's identity?

Better to weight the pros and cons, if you seen great opportunities about the project then maybe giving this information will be worthy but in the otherhand if the project seems to be scammy or just a pumped and dumped project, giving your personal information is not good, scammers and hackers will be able to use your identity for some sort of scams or unwanted activities.

That is right to know better about the project before joining the airdrop which needs for the KYC. We all know that some of it being use by scammer for them to get your information and steal what you have on your account and even they give the reward sometimes it turned to be a trash coin because never been listed in the exchange to have value in the market. Maybe it can be another way to steal the identity. It is not good to give your identity unless you are sure for the success of it.

I consider it a great folly, to transmit personal information about myself, as well as scanned documents to third parties for the sake of 1-5 dollars. But even so, not the fact that you will be paid. Think many times before doing this.

Pass KYC to get tokens from airdrop is a very questionable pleasure. Huh I'm afraid to send anywhere my passport details, I'm even afraid to give it to my Bank. But send my identity data to uknown people for a few bucks? No.

Yes, I believe that giving your personal information in order to get coins is illegal and I would not take part in such a Airdrop. My advice is to avoid such airdrops.

KYC "KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER" with airdrops will be a big mess of your life.
there are many airdrops and even without KYC, they turned out to be fake or scam.
think of your identity with such small amount you will get! IF AND ONLY IF the airdrop is real.

If I would say, documents submission for kyc doesn’t worths it when it comes to airdrop because they might be collecting people’s data for nothing reasonable and it’s very important to protect someone’s identity which I think it call for serious attention. Stay away from such airdrop

In no case do I have to go to KYC for airdrop. It seems to me that this is a scam. You can lose your personal data and get some dollars for it. I think this is a big risk.

I vehemently disagree with the KYC practice as it pertains to airdrops, which are basically giveaways of often worthless tokens.  In other areas of crypto I can see where institutions are required to follow such policies by governments and in those cases I have no problem.  But for airdrops?  No way am I going to release my personal information to some fly by night company just so I can earn what could be zero.

Not that I would promote dishonesty, but if people are giving out unverifiable, false personal information, that seems like it would be the way to go.  The airdrop token's developers don't deserve to be in control of people's information and shouldn't get it.  It's almost as bad as giving it to a professional spammer or identity thief.

I am slightly alarmed by all these conversations about theft of personal data. Today, every user uses his documents, as well as phone numbers for registration on various resources and when receiving any conclusions. But at the same time, these actions at that time do not bother them. But if the provision of personal data occurs in any place, then there are indignations.

I'm not bothered by the KYC requirement. Especially compared to the verification requirements for most of the crypto exchanges.

Of course you should not take part in any KYC. It's very risky for you. I bypass bounty and airdrop and ICO for investments which require KYC. Even a good project with a good team may not track the leak of your personal data. What to say about scams that can not always be recognized....

Well, sometimes a company wants to know who is working and and supporting them, so no matter how small they pay, they need a KYC before disbursing it. well, I think we ourselves judge whether the fee is suitable for KYC or not.
If that is really your take, then you're so ripped like a banana, soon eaten and cover discarded. KYC is meant to be a proactive measure aimed at tracing money used illegally. They only come up when there 's a possibility for substantial amounts to be involved and not the peanuts that airdrops are all about. Airdrop is a form of advertisement and their main interest is usually your email address or phone number, anyone of them asking for KYC sure has ulterior motives and the right thing to do, is simply to stay away.

Never met with this. I believe that those 1-2 dollars for Airdrop are not worthy to pass this procedure. I would advise you to pay more attention to the bounty than to the Airdrops.

There is no need to provide your KYC for some worthless airdrops, which is very unwise. This is a high risk.

Kyc for airdrop is total bullshit and shouldn't be condone, it's obviously an attempt to get your identity and probably use it to pepertrate crime most of them are impostors don't you ever release your identity or go through Kyc to earn airdrop which might later be shitcoin. On the last note stay clear of every airdrop that requires Kyc

Most airdrops ask their participants to do KYC is because they need to qualify which is the real one and the fake one. But you also shouldn't always easily giving your own personal information to an airdrop without checking out first if their company is real or not.

For me, to release my personal information all in the name airdrop is not actually worth it except the token to be air dropped is already in the on exchange and the worth is known and very high, else I can't divulge such inimportant information
