Bounty + KYC, your opinion about the risk of identity theft?

[juljon18]

Unfortunately there are bad actors involved in everything in life so sending your identification over the internet is a no go for me.  It seems like common sense.  With everything going digital if your identity is stolen your completely screwed.  Your life can literally be taken over and as technology progresses this only gets worse.  i feel for people making this mistake.  KYC will cost you dearly in the future as your information is bound to be stolen.

Well, you can easily make a fake KYC in bounty specially if you have a multiple account in one campaign. Some of my friends did that for such a good and bad reason. They want to hide their true identity to avoid some misused of their information. It's your choice to create a fake or real one, as long as you feel safe or not or depend in every situation/scenario.

I am not totally understand what will be if my indentity is left.
For what it can be used ?

Since the first time i know that some project asking to perform a KYC for the bounty campaign.
From that on, I've always tried to avoid project that requesting for that, cause i think it making the cryptocurrency world missing it's anonymity.

[hippygreen]

Yes avoid these projects.  KYC is an information grab and is not legally necessary as they cannot prove identity online.  These KYC firms will then store your information and when they get tight for money will sell your information or worse suffer a security breech where the real scum get your personal details.  I can't believe it's 2018 and people still don't know not to give your real information out online. 

[nniecan001]

We need to avoid some shady project about the KYC, there's a lot of fraud project now a days. Maybe you can send your real KYC if the project is exist a long time ago and have a good history backgroud. That will be a good assurance to avoiding on exposing your real information.

For me in some ways it is ok that they put KYC in their bounty to protect their bounty with the scammer so the member can only join in one account not in multiple account. It is unfair to the bounty manager that there will be a people who join with multiple account because there is no KYC.

In a few hours, already several dozen people who did not hesitate to post their identity "in clear" on the web...

And we are in the field of cryptography normally!!

Never bother about those noob and greed,because they don’t care about anything here but for MONEY only,even if this will taks their personality and may involved in criminality soon because of recklessness.

I will never join those damn bounty’s that requiring KYC into public information,i am not hiding anything in bad reason but this means staking my personal life together with my family

So i would rather not gain a single amount here than risking all of our lives

In this situation, we again need to think and analyze which team we are giving our data to. If this is a reliable team that is building a serious product, then I do not mind checking out KYC

You can not be completely confident in the reliability of the ICO team, because scammers do not show their photos and data as their team. Given that the number of fraudulent ICO projects is now very large, it seems to me that I should not risk my identity and copies of my documents and pass them on to the ICO teams. In addition, in my opinion, the requirement to pass a KYC test for participants in the ICO generosity campaigns is generally illegal. This check should only be carried out by investors, we are not advertising investors for ICO projects.

[reynand]

currently, kyc is still being a problem for bounty hunters. we know that in kyc we have to collect our personal data, and we know it will be very vulnerable. if it is not used properly, it can be fatal. therefore we must be careful in choosing a bounty to follow.

I’ve just let this post in the Bounty thread of the REMCO campaign

Guys, I can understand the Bountys asking for a KYC now, why not after all...

But your spreadsheet is PUBLIC!
 
It is an extraordinary database for hackers with real identity associations and full of information
 
For bounty hunter security, pass this table in private access!

It’s me or it’s really scary ??

That is really scary but we can not do anything else. We can not do a demonstration when all the activity takes place at the Bitcoin forum. I think the implementation of KYC is unreasonable and I hope the project will remove this rule. I was afraid of my identity being sold to many others, it was an obsession.

[congresowoman]

I for one have submitted a couple of my kyc to many projects only to find out that the storage of these precious files were not ascertained and there is a risk that my information can be hacked and used for terroristic activities. So better if you join projects that do not require kyc this is for your safety also.

I looked at the topic with bounty, there are already enough participants. But I will definitely not participate where identification is required. it's too risky. there's a lot of risk in this area, why expose yourself to more.

[vallytech]

It is scary I agree. If nothing else, at least they are letting you know in advance, so you can move on. I would never participate if KYC is needed, and certainly not if they are going to make the data public. With most of these ICOs, even if the KYC data are not public, who is to say they won't sell your data on the black market? So no thank you.

And what if you participated in an ICO that lasted for months and at the end of the day, you are told KYC is required what would you? would you abandon the tokens you have earned and move on? or will you do the KYC?

I usually dont participate on some bounties that has KYC and it will be shown to public . I am afraid that some people will use my identity in some suspicious crimes .

There is a bounty campaign I joined 6 months ago. After the token sale, they request to the bounty hunters to pass KYC so that we will recieve the payment. Bounty Campaign done in 6 months and I cannot regret to pass because everything of my works will be ruined. However, the total allocation for bounty campaign was deceived to us and I cannot blame nor block mail the owner of the ICO anymore because my identity was showed already. In fact, I worried to my security once I post a scam accusation about him. Maybe, KYC is not always done by good campaign and they tend to make it because they want to see our identity.
