I really don't understand why people still continue to join airdrops that will give you in best case less than 5-6$ in coins..... and asking for KYC is absurd!

Some ask for KYC only to avoid multi accounts (?) or to comply whatever laws (?). Some others, indeed, can do quite a lot of "interesting" things with those documents. On another hand, too many (especially starters) are desperate for a few free bucks and you can't imagine how easily people give their ID. I would suggest you make a tutorial for airdrop/bounty newbies, but I guess that most will not read it...

Agree with you, I mean people give their privacy such as identity, bank utilities, etc. Just for coins worth $5 ? that's freaking insane

For airdrop I will not submit KYC, who knows and we can't say that they will not use our private details to anything that can harm us.

I'm strongly against the idea of Kyc because the ICOs are using it for selfish interest though Kyc itself means know your customer but the team behind ICOs are trying to use it in order not to pay airdrops participant because some people won't do the Kyc or won't be able to meet up with the airdrop requirements

I don't really know what the kyc for airdrops is all about. Most token gotten from airdrops are not much and they will still be expecting one to perform kyc in receiving those tokens. That's the reason why I don't even like to participate I airdrops.

I see this year's airdrop very small and almost unprofitable, I never participated in airdrop campaigns that use kyc, because in my opinion providing sensitive data is very risky in my opinion

For me, i do not believe in kyc for airdrops i flee from such tokens because the airdrop people will never show the faces of their team and they want me to send them my own passport details it is never done that way, theuy need to reveal theirself before i reveal myself too simple

I think KYC is something you need to think about and investigate for which projects you are sharing your personal information. Don't just randomly sent your (very) personal information to whatever projects asks for it, be cautious with this. You never know what might happen to your info or how it is stored and whether or not it is done in a secure way.

Some may be genuine, but some are undoubtedly scams. I don't think it's worth the risk. Just leave these alone. It doesn't make sense to take this sort of risk for the prospect of just a few dollars reward.

Only if you are really sure about the airdrop and have done research on the team behind it should you send your private information to them. Sending ID and other info to get 10$ or less worth of coins doesn't make much sense for me.

The main reason of crypto currency is encryption and stay anonymous , I don't know why some airdrop and bounties ask for KYC , I participated in some bounties and some of them asked for KYC , honestly i posted my KYC coz it was some money i couldn't neglect , but sometimes it wasn't fair coz a few of them didn't say they need KYC at the beginning , I think if they want KYC they must ask it first and don't extort from people by holding their bounty tokens for KYC!

I do not recommend you to provide personal information about you, especially for Airdrops.Last year, i was a frequent member of airdrops and pointed to my working e-mail.Which was later hacked.To this address and now comes a lot of emails from fraudulent airdrops.

Stop. And never provide your documents for the KYC identification in Airdrops, this is the sure way to be scammed. Most likely your data will be sold in the dark market and will be used for unknown purposes.

This is absolutely wrong, KYC should be a criteria for all registered investors and should not be extended to airdroppers at all because they are not investing in their project, why should they be asked to submit their details?

In 5% of cases, they want to avoid participation of multi accounts in the airdrop process. In all other cases it is dirty game, which is designed to steal your personal data and copies of documents.

No, my point is still no,I refuse to accept any airdrops that require KYC, because it's obviously irrational, because the airdrops bounty are small, and the KYC data is important.
