KYC is now required for Bitcointalk

[shendy]

I think this is a ridiculous thing, and certainly made everyone surprised, really surprised at the beginning of April, but I was also curious whether the KYC form would appear the next day like this

[karagun125]

I think that everyone out here are surprised, also me and I'm just done with my kyc here in bitcointalk. I also feel comfortable doing kyc here in btt rather than filling kyc in any of the ico projects out there. Great idea and concept that theymos has planned, i think the forum would be nicer if everyone would undergo their kyc.

Have you read the required information in KYC? I think it's just a troll from the forum admin. You should remember this is April Fool's Day.

[Pffrt]

That's a good idea. I have done all the procedure and verified myself as you will see the verified tag in my profile within couple of minutes. Everyone should do that to prevent scammers. Our forum is full of scammers. theymos took a right decision at last. No one can enroll now with more than 1 account.
Beside, please notice today is April 1st because it will be asked when you want to get back your account once it is hacked.

[richminded]

I wonder why most of the users here are afraid?
Well, this is obviously an April fools development but if Theymos is serious about this one, I'm willing to participate but not to the extent of my past and present lovers.   A great job for Theymos on this one, he really got everyone here and at least make a panic for a moment.

[mindrust]

No!

I'd rather leave bitcointalk than doing KYC!

Damn you theymos!

The power that be has him too in the end. Is there anyone they can't reach and manipulate? Damn lizard people.

[lablab03]

Haha.  Happy april fools bro don't be so serious.  Theymos always do this stuff for fun only just to put smile on other participants here on this forum especially those people who are so stressed and very serious on their work despite of the situation. Lmao  so be thankful that theymos always there to  make us happy sometimes.

Aaaaannnnddd a lot of angry faces out there who fell for it

[Ebenezer559]

Checking my bitcointalk account this morning with words written in red I asked myself what is this again? I immediately call a friend of mine to check his account also and he said the same. I clicked on the KYC link and I can see clearly is a prank. I don't think KYC needs your blood group and your cc details for you to be verified

[kaya11]

I like your dedication towards the KYC. Maybe you have submitted your PRIVATE Information now, I guess?

Now he know who should he goes to if ever he is in trouble with his private information. By the way theymos is a good guy he won't scam him. This is a lesson to be learned, read all the important parts before you sign, he got straight in your butt right? Even I was not certain that it was a joke, unit when I got to signing some recovery questions answers, nearly got me.

[jambo110]

Haha  i nearly pooped myself

[shirackjs]

This is meant to be April fool joke, I hope you didn't submit any information.

[bustedsynx]

First, want to say this was an excellent idea Theymos and if you need someone to grow this KYC process further (for maximum exposure), I'm your man. Time to rid the plague of all the corrupted assholes and scammers; having 100% transparency in crypto is a brilliant idea.  

Why should you submit it? It's like everything you do in life, you prove who you are and your good intentions? Fuck privacy and all you shady characters who linger on these forums for nothing more than profits. This is the real world. Uncle Sam spies on you daily, there's nothing that you can do to resist this new era.

Oh man, your post sounded serious and believable. Many know that Theymos wouldn't do a KYC. It has been discussed many times long ago in the Meta Section. And it's April's Fools Day. Crazy shit happens in Bitcointalk on April 1.

[||bit]

People really falling for this?

Great joke yeah, but it took me 5 second to understand it is april fools. But i think multi accounters probably had an heart-attack when they first saw this.

[$imple$imon]

I love the attention to detail.  The LAT LONG puts you in the middle of the antarctic.  Good work all round.

[toydoll]

Hooray, I passed KYC))) In general, a good joke , when in the morning I went to the forum,first I was very scared.Then,understood... I congratulate you all on April 1, and April fool's day.

[Red-Apple]

based on a lot of topics that have been popping up today i would say that a lot of people have taken it seriously and have fallen for the joke (been fooled). it is so funny though specially the options in the KYC list

[Wittny]

Bitcointalk team got me completely on this. Not until I took my time to go through details needed for kyc, and relate the funny requirements with today been April 1st, that is when I detect is April fool joke.

[celot]

What for have submit KYC for bitcointalk account, any admin could give information why have to submit and what goings on with bitcointalk forum have to submit KYC, you like an ICO project have submit KYC.

[HarryJackson]

I hope its only April fool not true
