KYC should be for big whales

[Vilagra]

I'm here today to drop my own point about how KYC should be use
- KYC requirement for bounties and airdrops is so unreasonable ,KYC implementation is no doubt a good idea but it should be forced only on big investors that wants to buy large amount of a token either From ICO or Exchanges
- there should be limit for KYC requirements e.g like if an investor wants to buy 10,000$ worths of tokens upward then he or she must go through KYC ,just saying

KYC also has a good side, to some extent it can  stop multiaccounters who take part in bounty and airdrops, because it is hard to find 100 documents to pass KYC for all their bots.

KYC for big investors is already required in every project, even small investors are required to verify KYC but not as complex as big investors, and KYC for bounty is to avoid multiple account fraud

That was and is the reason for so many ICO's but you will later the question the legality of this KYC after the project is gone or gone scam you start to think what will happen to your vital information, because the project developers are nowhere to be found and they are not even legal in the country where they operate.

[labenea]

yes I agree with you for bounty hunters I think there is no need to do KYC unless the project can be managed seriously it might not be a problem., KYC is more appropriate for large investors who match the acquisition of prizes as well.

[Red-Apple]

you only apply KYC to a business that is already complying by regulatory laws and the company itself must follow a lot of rules including KYC. but  when it comes to ICOs and the likes of them, none of them are regulated or following any kind of laws whatsoever and that makes their move so absurd!

with that said, your criteria becomes invalid because because it doesn't matter if someone is investing $1 or $1 million, neither of them should give up their personal information to a shady ICO issuer who is anonymous themselves and are 100% going to abuse it.

KYC should be applied to know if that can be included on the accredited investors or not. So far there was no strong reason to implement it to the bounty hunters even airdrop participants.
KYC should have putted to the big portion of buyers.

You guys are living in fool's paradises for sure. Yeah big investors are the whales and whales never show their real faces in public because they know they would be attacked then by robbers and criminals. What they do is they take up someone else close to them to do the KYC and then grab the tokens and run away. Seems like a story to you? No it isnt because in many time they will offer the KYC doer some price and would themselves enjoy the impersonation and get the tokens for themselves.

The bounty hunters in this forum need to get new jobs. Stop running after every new shittoken being printed out there and get a proper real life job.

You'r right and i agreed with you, KYC should be set a amount may be $1000 but when paying for airdrops little amount this is not good and some users not joining due to fear of misuse of data.

Yeah, KYC should be done for everyone and if you are not comfortable with that, you can skip investing. Whales is here to move the market up, and of couse some of them manipulate the market. For sure they know how to play hide and seek, so its still hard to know the real identity of the whales though this is a good idea but i think it will not work.

KYC should be done first from all the people who are running an ICO, and should be available to all investors (and bounty hunters).
It's a crazy thing, to have scammers stealing the money of people and the hard work of bounty hunters.

most of the project is require KYC for who's want to buy large amount of tokens, beside that some of them is require all the token holder(include investor and bounty hunter) must verify their identities to confirm they’re not on any prohibited lists and assessing their risk factors. So you can't control the project team decision, just don't join the campaign if you must process the KYC verification. to receive your rewards.

[panjay]

nah they don't want to take a risk for their business. Let said that they got the problem with the government about security stuff, the more they prepare about the administration and distribution of their tokens, the easier the life or company get.

[nebuch]

KYC was formed intended to regulate scammers. Possible there are instances investor is also a bounty hunter. But I am really agree about it is not reasonable for hunters because hunters does not put some money into the project only investors does. There are disadvantages and advantages in KYC that somehow used to scam the people and steal their personal information. Very risky KYC.

[burky155]

Yes, you have mentioned something that i am sure we all would agree with you! The KYC procedure should perform with big buyers and traders. But usually it practice with the small investors and bounty hunters.. Unfortunately this is very unfair implementation for us..

I am sure, ICOs that have passed and are currently certain to make a KYC process so that investors can participate, but not all investors want to admit to having large funds, or they might just be able to pay people to be able to use other people's identities and then share assets to be invested

[Bittalk12]

KYC is applicable to any level of investors because it will be unfair if the whales will only do the process right? Besides, this big investors can also use other people just to hide their wealth since the only thing you need in KYC are valid photo ID and a selfie right? As much as I know, the type of KYC you are requesting already is effective on Bithumb.

That's the point, not unless change just showed up KYC procedure should be declared when the bounty/ico's got started, so no one will join if they don't want to provide any personal information, if they feel that they are not comfortable with such rules better not to join and move to another project, even you are a small investors or big whales nor bounty hunters you are free to choose.

Big whales are institutions and not just one person, how will you check the kyc of some company? That is not possible. Also these investors are not trading on classic exchanges but they trade OTC.

I think a lot of this is companies just trying to cover themselves in an uncertain legislative environment. It can be a pain, and it does also allow for scammers to set up fake campaigns to harvest valuable personal information... but I can see why the projects do say they need KYC.

I believe that KYC should only be for investors but there are some project that really enforce KYC to bounty hunters.
As a bounty hunter, you should be aware that it's part of the requirement in order to be eligible to claim the reward, but if KYC came after the ICO, then I think it's not fair to bounty hunters.

[vhns222]

KYC is reality,for investors and even for bounty hunters and if moths ago KYC for bounty was 10% now, i think 90% of all projects need KYC,both for hunters and investors so,we alrerady have KYC.

[IrinaDuisimbekova]

KYC is for every individual, it’s not only specific for big investors. Every crypto exchange provide this function in their service so that they can verify the authentication of the customers.

Benefits of conducting KYC verification:

• Confirmation of verified identity
• Approval to initiate your trading at the cryptocurrency exchange
