KYC??

[PrimeNumber7]

I am being asked to submit my KYC information to continue using the forum.

Obviously I am not going to give this information.

edit: This is an April fools joke, and any information submitted will not go to this site's owner:

I am wondering how many people will actually fill in the form with their real information not even thinking

It's fine, the data is only locally submitted:

And to avoid KYC, you could buy some of my Legendary accounts

Obviously I am not going to give this information. One of the fundamental ideals of the bitcoin ecosystem is being able to conduct business anonymously without government intervention or permission.   

What date is it today?

It's a joke

To bypass KYC, You need to Dontae 50 BTC to the forum. Problem solved.

Scam

It seems as if this was a joke. As of now, not giving this information does not prevent you from posting or reporting a post.

Geez, I sent a stool sample.  Since it's only a joke I wonder if I can get it back?  I did fast freeze it.  Since it's still March 31 here I thought it was serious.  I want my poop back!

It's fine, the data is only locally submitted:

That's what (((THEY))) want you to think.

For the super paranoid, you should verify this information yourself. In theory, this whole April Fools prank could be a ruse to try to get xx user's private information if there was some good reason (such as a national security subpoena) to try to get their information. I think the chances of that are low.

Alternatively, you can leave all the fields blank, and the KYC request at the top of every page will go away.

Well, you can always take a look at the source code of the page yourself. You'll see that the form doesn't send anything to any server.

Code:

<form action="http://127.0.0.1/" method="post"> 
<!--Not actually sent to bitcointalk.org :) --> 
    <table>
        -snip-
    </table>                    
</form>

What is this, some sick Joke?  I don't want my parents to know I self-identify my gender as an "Attack helicopter."

You agree to have this information shared with the IRS, FBI, CIA, NSA, Federal Reserve, ECB, Interpol, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Equifax, Chainalysis, and your parents:

That is the source code when you visit KYC verification page, but there is not anything stopping a different source code when someone else visits that page.

The chances of this happening are very low (close to zero).

[EcuaMobi]

I am already submitted my information is it dangerous for me............... if honer cant receive information where to go the information

You can just ask Google to delete it

[pooya87]

this is outrageous, i never had a pet to have a name for it so i can't become verified. also my gender is of land attack type with a Humvee but the only option in the list is an air attack type with Helicopter. now i am stuck verifying myself.

Yeah others are right! This is only an April Fool's joke but I admit that it was quite impressive because I almost click on the bait lol.

And besides, you can predict that it wasn't true at the first place because you can still access the forum (like the usual) despite of having the announcement .

Relax dude, the infos you input is in safe place. See the codes above posted by OP? It states that your data is just sent here inside the forum (correct me if I'm wrong ), so nothing to worry about.

[jcriss]

  great start to April fools........ I was like shit they want all this info I am not sure if I even know

[sujonali1819]

Really is this April fool jokes? I don't make me sure which is true. Can anybody say in serious mode that Is not totally fun or we need to submit kyc for this forum?  

[gantez]

..I find KYC form quitely intriguing and I don't want to give my KYC information..but then I realize that this is just an april fool's joke..I was once a victim,,first time ever happen to my life to be fooled on April fools..LOL

There is nothing stopping anybody else from seeing what shows in their kyc page to verify if it’s sending anything or if the code is different in their case.

[UserU]

Wp theymos, I almost had a shock when the KYC thingy showed up.

Now you owe all of us KFC

[The_Trader]

I would be interested to find out how many lunatics actually submitted all that private info.

I know the forum is full of nutters but as this is all about finances and lets be honest 99% of coin dev's are keyboard scammers then surly people wont just give this information up.

Hell HSBC dosn't even ask for that 

But would love to know how many people take this seriously

And good on Theymos for doing it !

TT

[bakasabo]

Hope theymos will make a topic with all the funny KYC results.

Enough, there was even one with a selfie with his own ID in the KYC topic...
