It's pretty strange that such a big website like Blockchain is asking for KYC just for an airdrop but I think they have a serious reason for that and it is probably to reduce the number of people who are cheating. The difference from other aidrops is that here you get a coin that is already listed on the market and you know for sure the tokens you will receive actually worth something so they want to be sure they don't waste money on people who are trying to cheat. I saw that aidrops right in the first days when it appeared but didn't give it that much attention because my identity is just not worth 25$

KYC on blockchain * com is very difficult compared to other places where the level of acceptance of KYC is also very small, this can be a reference that our data will be fine and not misused
I myself can already get away with Kyc on the blockchain and get the airdrop coins. it's not difficult, it only takes a long time, maybe because too many are registering now. but if it's not wrong there is a limit to the amount of airdrop, is it now fulfilled?

Personally, our privacy isn't worth to be exchanged for any amount of money. And those people who claimed the XLM is either a hacker or does not care about the value of privacy. Actually, it is triggering me how actually some users have participated in the 'giveaway', and the situation of the cryptocurrencies spaces in general. I mean it doesn't hit the decentralized, and privacy things who has built in the nature of Bitcoin.

KYC is done by retarted people. Just ask yourself, would you give away personal data to a stranger in real life? I hear 100% NO. Do KYC only for fiat transfers from exchanges, where it's requested by government laws.
KYC-Apes get paid peanuts, lol. Sorry, apes are smarter.

Speaking about the ongoing stellar airdrop by blockchain.com which started as a fair one but now requires those interested in the airdrop to pass some KYC procedures, I ask, is it worth it? We complain of Facebook, Google etc of stealing our privacy and possible selling them for profit to other companies and praise blockchain of been decentralized yet we're willing to sell our private details to some centralized organization offering services related to the blockchain technology and we think it's safer? I get it that the bear market has affected numerous newbie that came into the market in 2017 but I ask again is just $25 worth your privacy?
I suspect this moved by them as a deliberate attempt to steal users private details (identify), first they made the airdrop looks so simple and easy thereby deceiving numerous customers into believing they would get free $25 after they have trapped their victim, they then introduce kyc to steal their identity.
In general, it doesn't worth to take a risk in such situations. Blockchai.com is an old figure in crypto business models and so many people started their journey from their wallets. It was made very easy for Average guy who has no idea how to make a transaction and open wallet. In my opinion, it will be worth to join the airdrop and get the $25 for passing KYC.

I stay away from any airdrop that require my personal data, even if it's a platform with a good reputation in this particular case.

No. personally for me, it's not. I mean, privacy protection is the motivation behind most blockchain projects anyway. Really there'd be no much difference between the blockchain and the internet if our data is open and can be traced back to us on the blockchain. Data security is one of the things blockchain aims at bringing. I don't know why XLM asked for KYC. Maybe it's just to confirm that it's real users doing the airdrop. But If the aim of the KYC (hence the airdrop) was to steal the data of users, then shame on XLM

Not at all. It is not worth it. Why would any one risk his or her data because of $25. There could be more to it, making people release their privacy and they receive a token of $25 worth. it looks suspicious. People should be careful on how they expose their privacy.

I checked in blockchain.info and now they are asking for doing camera appearance to do KYC they do not accept uploading of documents now, this is very risky, but we cannot blame people some of these wants easy money without thinking of the consequences.

I didn't think too much about this when they did the first xlm airdrop sometime last year, but thinking of it now, I wouldn't go through the stress just for $25 worth of crypto.

Am yet to understand why blockchain is interested in our identity. Bitcoin should be unregulated and owners of wallet should be anonymous. The idea of giving out $25 in exchange for users identity is suspicious. Let's be careful of how we give out our privacy to avoid unwarranted issues in the future.
Always, there will be people who want to take advantage of something, that's why there is KYC process to prevent one person from getting to much of something which was planned to be distributed for more people.

Because that's related to our sensitive data and it's not worth to give it. But this time a lot of people don't care about that and it seems like they are only wanna getting a few bucks and paid it with their identity and they don't know how important their data

I rhink it's not worth $25 XLM for you information or submission of KYC but depends on the person if they really need money. But for me I will not pass my Identity with some money maybe I will pass my Identity if the amount is worth $1000 and Up and for sure most of us will do that.
because sometimes people really need money so they do everything as long as they can get money, especially if the method is easy, people will be very interested. but unfortunately they don't think about the risks they can do because our identity is something that is very important to us especially the privacy so you have to think carefully before giving your identity.

So basically they will just pay you with $25 for your personal information? Hmm, it's not worthy to push and send your personal details to them. Looks like someone is planning on something with a very small price to pay. But, i won't fall for it and i hope most of you don't too but I've heard there are some spammers that are using fake IDs to make it happen. How could their system verify them one by one?

I got the e-mail and in the written e-mail got 25 dollars with identity verification. And for me, it's okay to get those 25 dollars. While we use our own ID.

I would never disclose IDs to a potential thief for so low money. And remember you may not receive the coins.

i became a little worried about this, because i had followed the airdrop from blockchain.com and gave my identity to them.
i hope it's fine, at that time i was so innocent and didn't think about that excessively. because i think they will keep the secret of everyone who participates.

I think an airdrop with the need for us to provide KYC does feels too much, and the amount of reward for airdrop also isn't much if compared with the data we provided for the KYC.

You're wrong, I think Airdrop is just an excuse to convince users to go through KYC. But this is not a scam, it is an attempt to encourage users to interact with the wallet as much as possible, to store cryptocurrency on it, to use internal exchange and as a result earn money on it.
Not a scam? My friend and I both gave our ID and have not received XLM... Is this normal? Are others waiting still? Maybe you didn't wait five business days, it was written in the mail.. when you get kyc? Myself and my friend both did the KYC and it was all done well over two weeks ago.
