KYC for the DFINITY airdrop

[carrie_white]

I always avoid following airdrops that require KYC, because in my opinion it is not worth it, for me airdrops don't make too much money, only a few of the many successful airdrops, so I don't want to give KYC which in the end is misused

Let's see in few hours now if you are right  I went trough the kyc process in 2018 and am now eligible for this airdrop (coins are waiting on coinlist since months, now).       

But i understand the way you think, and Dfinity airdrop is not an usual airdrop. I would avoid, too, giving my ids all around.

Why KYC is necessary, airdrop like this would usually end up in a scam. Be careful on giving your personal information, you don't want to see your identity being stolen because it was sold in the dark market since you give you real info in exchange for a scam token or coin.

Crypto is a high risk for a reason, you should be aware of that.

I see no reason why any airdrop should demand for your private information in exchange for a few dollars worth of tokens, and it is more ridiculous that they are asking you to pay around $9 for the airdrop. This has all the signs of a scam project and you shouldn't incest your time, money & personal data in this kind of project.
Avoid scam projects because your data is worth more than any amount of tokens they will offer you.

Comrades, I need your opinion. I signed up for an airdrop from the DFINITY project, which promises to send coins for an amount equivalent to 100 CHF. At the same time, they ask to participants to pay $ 9 for the passage of KYC. It seems to me that this is a fraud, but what do you think?
Can the project require money for the passage of KYC and should I do it?

what I know is that any genuine or non-fraudulent airdrop will not ask for money for any reason, and if it is true that if it asks for money it means that the airdrop is doing fraud.

Airdrop is a means of introducing a project to the crowd and with an airdrop, the developer will be able to form a community to build their project, but if an airdrop charges gas token delivery fees to the airdrop participants, it is certainly questionable about the authenticity of their project, I think most Airdrops that ask for rewards from participants for sending tokens are fraudulent airdrops that we should avoid, after all there is no guarantee that after we send a certain amount of money in the form of usdy / eth they will send tokens to us and it could be that the tokens sent have no value in the market. so my advice is better just forget about airdrops like that.

Based on the experience I got, there is actually no such thing as an airdrop campaign that requires participants to pay for any reason. because airdrop is the giving of gifts from crypto projects that are completely free. you better have to rethink.

You're right, airdrop is a gift. But this time some people decided they were ok to pay a little amount. Reason is Dfinity will be huge !

most Airdrops that ask for rewards from participants for sending tokens are fraudulent airdrops that we should avoid

Guys i invite you to get some informations about Dfinity.

really difficult to recognize a legitimate project from a fake one and 3 years ago no one could have imagined this huge debut.
congratulations to those who participated and managed to get this huge gift.

For airdrops I always avoid doing KYC but for the bounty I still do it but if I see the project is legitimate, to be honest I even though the project looks legitimate but I'm still worried

If you knows nothing and it's better if you try to check about the project. it's on the top 10 CMC. You don't need to feel worried because all of people have been complete KYC verification already got airdrop worth more than 30k USD for each participants. This is the biggest  airdrop in the cryptocurrency history.
It's better to ask someone who knows about it better than you.

I saw a few friends they shared that they got the money from $50k to $200k from this airdrop, I was also surprised and happy to have them share that they did it a long time ago and right away not even I remember exactly about it. Anyway congratulations everyone who has participated and been with this project, you are having fun from it.

[Psynthax]

damn so many people underestimating this project including me and boy, the airdrop was worth a shitton of money just for signing up for KYC and pay $9.
KYC was really the reason for me not following many potential airdrop, if i knew things gonna turn out like this I would, it's not like my data so signficant anyway, definitely not gonna miss something similar again.

[dongyi17]

This also happened to us they require us of kyc and also promise to give us but until now happen.. we're still waiting hoping they will do what they say, at first having kyc is quite alarming what if its scammer what will happen next? but we trust them... but still they did not give what we expect.

Fortunately for you with this project, and indeed this is a huge amount of money from the Airdrop of this project. I missed this project, but I also do not feel too regretful because there will still be opportunities waiting for me, indeed receiving such a large amount of money from the airdrop, everyone will be very happy, congratulations to you.

Based from what you have been saying above and you didn't know what this project is and what the result from the airdrop. what you are saying totally BS. Try to go to the coinlist site and then read how legit the airdrop is even that requires KYC. You are also accusing without any proof. They give us more than what we have expected before.
instant listing to the top coins and each ICP token worth a lot of money right now. Try to learn more.

It makes no sense to participate in such projects. The requirement to undergo KYC, and even more so to pay for it, is absolutely illegal.
KYC can be carried out, according to the FATF recommendations of June 21, 2019, only to prevent cases of money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism and involves checking the persons who invest their money, and do not receive it. In this case, a check can be carried out if the amount exceeds one thousand euros.
What does KYC have to do with this in this case?

People can't sell the entire airdrop since Coinlist will deliver 1/12 of the airdropped tokens each month  Value could fall in 12 month (or rise ...).

KYC was really the reason for me not following many potential airdrop, if i knew things gonna turn out like this I would, it's not like my data so signficant anyway, definitely not gonna miss something similar again.

don't fall for every new airdrop asking for a kyc : scammers are clever and know some people will react that way because of icp airdrop.

How did they get such huge amount of tokens, when in airdrop rules it was mentioned that "Users who subscribed before April 4th will get between $500 – $2500 DFN and users who subscribed after will receive at least $100 worth of DFN tokens." ?

In Reddit, people mention that they receive either 28, or 119 tokens. With the price of roughly $500, these 119 ICN tokens could be "$50k". But how did they get $200k? Cheated and participated with multiple accounts?

You have been cheated by them because you trust them too much, so whatever you hope for now they will never give for you at all,
because they already got what they want from you.
