Bounty needs KYC to receive reward?

[jimely0907]

Other bounty and some airdrop need kyc, some other airdrop dont need a kyc, i think kyc is good for airdrop so that the security of the airdrop or bounty site is secured

Reasons:
- To control spam
- To avoid users who uses multiple accounts
- To avoid cheaters
- To avoid abusers
- To get personal infos and used to illegal works (It might be right?)

KYC doesn't help to avoid multiple accounts and cheaters, I know some people that pass KYC for 30 -50 accounts in good projects and then sell these accounts to investors who want to invest but don't have an account, in similar way a bounty hunter can pass KYC multiple times using documents of his/her friends or relatives. How does KYC control spam? It's unclear for me.

Actually you have a point, but that is the reason why most of the bounty campaign are needs an KYC for bounty participants to avoid multiple accounts or cheaters.

Only KYC will save the bounty industry from multiaccountry. I consider this procedure simply necessary and indispensable.

[bitok_1979]

But after all, the fact that the project proposes to go through the KYC does not mean that it is not a scam and therefore many do not want to go through are not sure that the project is good

[Anita1873]

KYC is needful to identify the real bounty hunter as nowadays many spammers are entered in various bounty campaigns and taking rewards by the wrong way from bounties.

This makes the KYC is important enough for the bounty hunter. The double account is certainly quite a lot, and I am sure this will give bad influence for the results for such a small account that I have. at least with the KYC is becoming slightly reduced and made it increasingly fair. Perhaps many are not liking it because it also has the risk but it is also fair when it should be required.

Some projects do genuinely want KYC information in order to cover themselves against any potential legal action. This is just a precaution given the vagueness of laws around crypto.
However there are certainly people out there who want this information as part of a scam to obtain valuable personal details.
Just another reason to be careful I suppose.

[entebah]

Yes, I thought it was appropriate for the bounty hunters to make KYC when participating in the Bounty campaign, because there were so many bounty participants using fake accounts to participate in the campaign. That is clearly strictly prohibited, so I strongly agree that the bounty hunter must make a KYC.

[wakeham8]

Bounty needs KYC, because it will protect the project from a lot of scammers. But did you think, that our data is really safe? When 20k people passed the KYC and an ICO has gone scam, what happens to out data then.

I've been in the bounties in this past few weeks in order to do something in order to have some earnings in my free time, probably to join a signature campaign since it's doesn't required a full time to do it and you hold your own time to complete the tasks needed by the campaign.

After hovering for a couple of page there's one campaign that gets my attention because of its presentation and the concept and solutions of their project to the existing problem (Whitepaper) so to make it short it's a legitimate project, after reading the thread there's a note stated that "Campaign requires KYC." well i'm not from the US but this concerns me, for what I've known a KYC stands for "Know your CUSTOMER" so basically it's for the investors or the customer of the certain project.

According to Wikipedia a "Know your customer is the process of a business verifying the identity of its clients and assessing potential risks of illegal intentions for the business relationship. The term is also used to refer to the bank regulations and anti-money laundering regulations which govern these activities."

In my understanding a KYC is a document needed in order to know the credibility of a certain person (investor) if the money they going to invest came from illegal works, money laundering and also to know the status of a person if he/she is has a criminal records for the certain country, etc. but in this case it's required in order to get the rewards.

As a bounty hunter and a fellow forum user this concerns me. Giving personal details to anyone on the internet is VERY DANGEROUS in today's era we can't live without using technologies including online banking, etc. it means they can use your personal datas in order to do illegal works and the likes, but let me give you the advantages and disadvantages of it (According to my own perspective) why they're requiring users to pass KYC documents in doing bounty works.

Reasons:
- To control spam
- To avoid users who uses multiple accounts
- To avoid cheaters
- To avoid abusers
- To get personal infos and used to illegal works (It might be right?)

Effects: (For bounty hunters)
- Risk

Summary:
There are different possible reasons why the project requires the users to submit KYC documents. Probably a good reason or a bad reason but no matter what sending a personal documents or a personal valid ID is very risk for the users.

Solutions:
There are some ways in order to avoid risk in sending personal details/KYC to bounty campaigns
- Review the project
- Read every technical details
- Review each team member
- If the projects seems unprofessional it's a scam

but the safest way is not to send any information of yourself on the internet.

This section might be wrong (I don't know where to post, maybe in meta? please correct me.) but I posted here because most of the bounty hunters are wandering in this section.

KYC is so common sense why it exists ,and i dont know why so many retard think this is extra job lmao
BTW thanks for the sharing to let noobies learn

Unless of course you are confident in the project, in the team, then passing KYC is possible, but mostly it is not all bounty campaigns. Passing a KYC is necessary if it is required by the government of some countries, in accordance with their legislation and there is no other way.

By the government of some countries? Actually KYC is for the ICO investors not for bounty participants, but now most of the bounty campaign are KYC needed to get your rewards. Well the only thing we have to do is follow the rules, because there are some reasons why they required it,  is to avoid multiple accounts, cheater.

[Nexus77]

it's very good to be able to avoid cheating in the bounty campaign and participants. because now more and more participants are cheating in following a bounty campaign

[BTMgoMoon]

I suggest that you should spend your time on trading. Buying cryptocurrency is still an early investor, but the rewarding task I think you are late, don't waste time.

[kerzhake]

I also think that it is not entirely correct that in this market we confirm our identity, but if we want to earn a bounty, then we have to agree with the rules

[tobatz23]

Before KYC is only for those investors but now most of the ICO projects also implement to do KYC thing for all bounty hunters to avoid multi-account users & cheaters abuse just to collect more rewards/ tokens in bounty campaign.

[Negdan4ik]

some rewards for generosity require mandatory passage of KYC, and some do not require, in my opinion the reason for the passage of this procedure is to detect fraud.

Thanks for the informative post, yes i do agree with implementing the KYC for bounty participants. Nowadays its a questioned of how many participants are real, fake and a dummy accounts, so KYC is the only method to eliminate those spammers, fake accounts and others. Good thing, that KYC is implemented

Yes, I agree with you but what we can do about it, rules is rules and need to follow to get pay. That's why take the right bounty program is more important, join only trusted program depend your experience. KYC is not problems but if you can't accept it just leave and take another one.
