XLM Airdrop. Joke?

[5thFear]

Well there has to be something better then KYC. KYC goes against the sole purpose of cryptos. I don't know why companies are trying to regulate cryptos just like fiat, where as its true power lies in anonymity.

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.

who said that it was fake ? of course it is legit because stellar.org itself announced it on their social media. the problem here is KYC, for some people like you for example.
everything is fine because it does not require a lot of time to do that(you are looking at it from different perspective), but for some people who prioritize their privacy will not look it as something that is easy and good to do.
why ? because your identity can be used for something bad like taking a loan from online sites ? faking their identity and etc.

I think not,I am not only in a single chat channel in a telegram about this saw,but even in the news journal Bitnovosti there too about it wrote that the hand will be $ 125 million,and that the first 5 million members wallet will receive $ 25 ahahahah good lure,but they funny??? $ 25 funny? would have done better smaller purses but for 200-500 bucks on the purse,that is the demand would be,and a lottery who'll win,so I registered to have more than 5 toons purses,and 25 not many would be willing

I dont see any KYC there. It just asked me an email and instructing to share the URL or tweet or post and thats it. I dont see any other details on Blockchain.com.
Also if there is a Video KYC then its better than giving your personal info.

[Kiefner]

Such jokes are now not uncommon in the world of cryptocurrencies. Passing KYC is now required very often and will likely be required even more often and in the next couple of years all projects will require to pass KYC from all participants and investors.

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?

I saw that Steller was distributing the airdrop coins, and it cost $ 25, but I didn’t know that I needed to go through a KYC video. I am sure that few people will want to undergo this procedure.

[Ducky1]

This is official information from blockchain.com. They supported the Airdrop system, most likely this was done in order to draw attention to their product.

[Perrigeni]

It is good chance to earn good coins. The procedure of verification is very bad idea and it will frighten many. I won't participate.

I don't think XLM airdrop is joke and to think XLM have a massive community and few ICO's are using XLM platform. Just recently blockchain is having a XLM airdrop and you need to register in the wait list and of course you need to have a blockchain wallet with KYC.

[Sylvial]

Video KYC for tokens that worth how much?? Ridiculous! Miss me with it!

Sounds like a joke to me, but I got same email from blockchain and because I've no time to actually go through it, I did not know KYC was required till I saw this thread. Gradually centralization is creeping into crypto and almost taking over. This is against the ideas of decentralization IMHO.

[IVEXO]

There is need to be calm regarding this issue
I received notifications from Blockchain and I also logged in my Blockchain app and found notifications too

There was nothing like KYC there so ensure it’s not a malicious email
The link was just to join the waitlist and also share to your friends

Don’t be a victim of fraud, always check Blockchain.com for any information

[lokas0506]

So what should i do to get this airdrop i just registered with blockchain com ... btw 25 $ is a lot of money for some ... in some placces u can get killed for that sort of money btw

[paeideae]

All this is hard for the participants of this event, KYC is a difficult decision.

[Iykecolyno]

I have once seen a mention here about kyc with using video call, particularly I think it will be too hard a course, personally I will pass such. This should be taking undue advantage of all those hungry bounties and would jump on whatever that feels should be a pay

[jack1111]

For some people, $25 is good amount of money, but I feel like that they are buying your KYC information for this $25. However, Blockchain is trustworthy company, and a lot of people will not a problem filling their KYC. This procedure will be usual in Crypto as we are moving toward regulations. Maybe after a year, you will not be able to use any service without KYC.

[nikola22]

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.

this airdrop may be useful for those who have fake ID's so they can use these documents and receive the reward without revealing the identity.

[andigentho]

I thought it was legitimate if Stellar made Airdrop. But authenticity also needs to be checked, because there is a lot of fraud now. In the past, I also got Stellar Airdrop, which was enough to create a Stellar account.

[biochem123]

didnt know about the video KYC, now that you have said that I'm sure it's not worth doing it, just ignore it

Yes, KYC in the crypto industry is total nonsense. Satoshi would not even think of it in the bad dream.
What kind of rewards it will be per person then or divided between everyone? I guess they want to have the database of active users... and once it will be recognized as an asset, you would have to declare it in your annual declaration, that's what is their aim I am wondering..

It is from blockchain.com site that a nnounced this XLM airdrop and I think it is legit. In addition to this coin telegraph which is my favorite source of cryptocurrency news  features it.  It is also reported on  coindesk.
