XLM Airdrop. Joke?

[humantraffic]

irstly, it is not Stellar who conducts an airdrop, but a blockchain wallet. They just hand out this coin. Secondly, this is their decision, and it’s clear that they don’t have to see multi-accounts in their airdrop.

Stellar seemed to me as a nice project with a good future. But now I saw that ridiculous airdrop with video KYC
For me it discredits the project and from side seems funny.
what is your opinion?

Well, if someone actually wants to do a kyc for 25 dollars, then I don't even know why they're in crypto. It's a great way to distinguish between the people who understand what's happening in crypto world and why we need it and the people who are clueless and here just for the bandwagon. I had an opinion about stellar that it's better than ripple, but this made me question my beliefs. Get that garbage out of here...

I've heard this airdrop yesterday from telegram channel, I though it's just a scam, so I don't have click the link, look like it's a big airdrop, but each person only get 100 XLM ($25) and we need to pass the kyc application, do you think it's really worth it?

[sakahayang]

I think this is a sales strategy. As we know, currently the market price is can't possible to enter. For this reason, coin developers have to turn their brains to survive in the market.
one of them gave airdrop, so investors remained on the Xlm coin. of course this good opportunity will not be wasted by investors.

Hi, everybody.  Joke this or not I I not know =) But I decided to participate.

[alex-nn]

My grandma and grandpa will join and register this XLM airdrop and will make the verification because $25 is a big money for retired people in Russia, unfortunately. Russia has a low standard of living out of Moscow now.

[slaman29]

Not a joke... well, they didn't mean it as one anyway.

But yeah, a huge joke to cryptocurrency. There are better ways to prevent gaming of the system, really, or didn't blockchain teach them a thing or two about privacy?

Would I sell my identity to a company I know only wants to make profit? Maybe for a lot of money, maybe. But not $25 and not for XLM. I think less on Lumens for partnering with them like this, I don't know it feels bad to me.

[Crypdon]

Video kyc is ridiculous, i don't see why any country needs such strict standards. Some require a selfie with the ID card, and even that is extreme. It's not like they are offering thousands of dollars. I will not participate with such strict kyc requirements

[yavorskiy616]

Hi, I think that XLM Airdrop is not bad. I use XLM for transfer between exchanges. kyc doesn't scare me.

It's not a real airdrop. They are just buying information. A lot of companies do this, for example, N26, Revolut gave free $$ if u signed up and did KYC. In my optinion it's not worth selling your data for $25 worth of XLM.

Learn more about this airdrop by watching video by Altcoin Buzz:

I also think they are buying information from users, but I care what they want to do with that information, 25$ is pretty much for a KYC info, some other airdrop just pay 3-5$ each KYC account

[JessiSaka11]

Are you speaking about the blockchain wallet airdrop? I think they want to distribute 500 million XLM to their users that worth around 125 million USD. If you are speaking about his airdrop, it is true, because they have announced it on their Twitter.

I think this is just a form of promo. Total: $125M.
Each person receiving $25 should have 5 Million who performs KYC via video.
This is hardly possible.

[siddartha1492]

Well, $125M airdrop is no joke after all. And that too when the coin is quite popular and trustworthy. People will do anything to get the most of it. So yes, even though video KYC is quite problematic for the users, but in the end it means less fraud. It's also beneficial for the participants of this airdrop as this KYC procedure would mean a bigger share for them. That being said, I am also not comfortable doing this KYC and would not participate in this airdrop!

[YoungMaster]

The airdrop seems promising for airdrops hunter who want to hold XLM even that's only worth $25, but in other side i'm also worried if any of them will dumping their coins which may cause the price drops.

[oleganpetro]

Now many airdrop and bounty require identification, I believe that most of them just sell data. But here is a solid company and I see nothing wrong with that.

[mistersehmuz]

Due to KYC I did not participate airdrop. They ask passport I guess XLM investors are not happy with this airdrop. A Dump Army is on the road

[kimikimiksz]

This KYC is real joke if few years ago if you created a wallet on blockchain.info (now blockchain.com) and sent BTC into this wallet it was diaspearing, so i think document photos can be stolen and used to borrow money in bank or sth else. I don't trust them.

[bitcoinst]

I heard about this airdrop, but did not know that verification would be needed. I think it's stupid to go through a complicated procedure for a small amount of money.

As mentioned above, such an action will not go unnoticed and many people will take part in it, the reward will not really be worth the effort.

from my perspective, they are trying to reach those non-crypto player to join the boat or at least giving them a knowledge about XLM project from this airdrop.
everything looks fine and ok until this point, but KYC verification will absolutely become their biggest flag.
because it is out of crypto, what is the meaning behind cryptocurrency if we are giving them our identity, it's like we are selling our data and i bet investors will not do such a thing because they are risking their own privacy and at the same time they might risk their own safety.

not only XLM investors, but most of crypto enthusiast will feel it too.

[kobita333]

It's ridiculous, I have to give my identity for $25, lol. Don't know who is participating in the airdrop. Anyway, it should not be accepted by us. In fact, they are looking for a hype, IMO. That can be the only reason.

[Alohadance]

Is seems legit. I think it's a good chance to earn some free tokens. As for me, I'm holding stellar for long-term. KYC doesn't take a lot of time so I will do it. But when we will recieve these tokens, it's unknown information.
