KYC IN THE BITCOINTALK FORUM: April Fool

[jalal540]

I don't think it's true ! Who will share his credit card credentials ?

[Sacramentus]

Hahaha... I freezed where I was asked to submit my partners contacts and they might be contacted lol.. I thought that was the end of it until I was asked to submit all credit card details,  then I said this was the hight of it and I am done hahaha.. Happy new month guys

I didn't even click the link because its common sense that on April 1st you would hear these types of pranks.

Even if you forgot that it was April 1st you need to think "Why would a forum need KYC", makes no sense. If it was a bitcoin casino then it would get suspicious.

Either way after reading the form that you need to fill out, which was very hilarious it should be quite easy to tell its a funny joke.

Hopefully nobody took it seriously.

Are you seeing what am seeing? KYC is now required! In order to continue using the forum, submit your KYC information
am i dreaming?wake me up please,waooo, this will surely clean up the forum.
Personally,i have been expecting this for a very long time,now is coming,the forum is messed up and we need clean up,this might caused some people a headache for a long time to come,Great news.What do you think? April Fool.

The current KYC information on the forum still tickle many forum members because many are just experiencing April fool in the first time on the forum, so, nothing is expected from such forum member than panic. Calm it down its just an April fools KYC, don't upload your real face like i have readily done.

I see this as a good improvement, because it will likely reduce the fake accounts, but however there are some requirements that are not suppose to be made compulsory, because what may be required in some countries are used in some other countries. For instance, in my country, if you work for a company and the company pays tax, you are not require to pay tax differently, the company tax covers yours.

This April fool makes us think about what could be a regulated internet. At first, i didn't know if it was a joke or not. But after looking at the other topic and posts, it confirms it.

[Ifemini]

Am not sure if it’s april fool or some joke
But it doesn’t clean the forum; it is only going to frustrate users who can’t afford to get kyc information

I personally avoid bounty projects with kyc cos I have not the required id

How can I survive if this forum requires one too

[ccsang]

Refresh web page, suddenly I saw that it's display KYC is now required! But a few second later, I noticed that today is 1st April, it's just a joke Happy April Fool's Day to everyone

[mdenys]

Nice joke but I am sure that some people from different countries  don't have enough sense of humor to understand it and they are feeling kind of puzzled now reading that .

[No One]

It is April fool friends. I was also confused what the forum is doing. But later I was told by my friend that the forum is celebrating April foot.
But in fact, I do not think it a right way to disclose all our identity details to any social networking sites.
Do you guys submit your all KYC details to other social networking sites like Facebook, twitter? Facebook has been charged with taking benefits of the KYC of its users. So there is no need to disclose your details unless you commit illegal works.

Suddenly the date come up in ny mind and get me smile since the day is april 1 or april fools day.  Its nice to have this kind of joke,

I agree that it is an April fool's because I can still used the furom even if I did not fill the kyc, I can still quote and post so I think this is really an April fool's. I see that the furom kyc is really amazing but the form is more harder than the ordinary form on kyc in ico.

That was obvious april fool

This part is also hilarious: "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:"

[Nassim_1990]

I received email that a moderator deleted my reply for some reason, then found this KYC thing, thought I was suspected or something. Happy Aprils fool day. Why nobody is talking about the gender options??? lol.

[Chika08]

I got scared when I saw that on my dashboard and I was like what the hell has gotten into the admins to ask for kyc. I went through it and the part that I should submit my credit card detail made me say I don't care and will not do this

Is it April fools jokes? or not!! I think it is jokes as it visible in 1st April. Finally if it is need to forum i am confusing actually because everyone here known by ID so that why i will give my secret things. On the other hand recent time fake accounts are too much that, KYC is very needed so that one men will come forum with only one account. So both the sides are accepted to me. Thats why i am in confusion.

[Brainnin]

From onset, I know is a joke, reading the details needed for kyc made me completely believe is a joke. Today is April 1st, April fool day, nice one from bitcointalk.org Team, they really got people on this..

[niisarearning]

Initially i was serious about this after reading all the fields required found something wrong . Again after some fields finally asking about credit card details including CVV . I seen the date posted it is on April 1st . But Bitcointalk made me fool for some time . Great going Bitcointlak team .

[HarryJackson]

I hope its only April fool not true

 I think on this topic today come up with a joke. The joke came so much that I'm surprised. Many took it seriously. Poor and heart attack can be grabbed.
