f*cking scared me

Almost thought it was real, then realized it was april 1st

Boy. At least you realized immediately. Take a look at those who actually posted legitimate photos of themselves and they probably haven't realized yet that it's an April fools joke. Imagine having public KYC LOL.

But it is real. Huh

He obviously hasn't bothered to get verified.

Ahh, fellow verified awesomeness bro. We truly are the best of the best. We should form a club.

Also I have a proposal for theymos - can we get a permanent "Verified Moron" tag or similar for everyone who uploaded a real selfie. Cheesy

Sound like someone needs to investigate now. Roll Eyes

Some of them uploaded not only selfie. I saw one guy posted selfie with his passport in hands Cheesy

. And most of these selfies comes from people who have earned 0 Merit in total - I think these two things are directly realted.
I'm wondering how many of forum users tried to submit KYC details wth their income, net worth, list of Bitcoin addresses.

Having sort of "factions" here on Bitcointalk just for fun actually sounds like a good idea LOL

I like this. It's definitely a good laugh for us, but definitely not funny on the receiving side. 😂

It's probably because of these reasons..
- they haven't experienced April fool yet here in the forum as most of them are newbies/new to the forum
-they are afraid to lose their account (specially to spammers)
-their religion or whatever does not celebrate April fool
-they are slow, they didn't get it immediately
-they've been fooled by theymos

Anyway, I'm not quite happy with my Verified ~~sucker~~ valuable user. Seems like its been forced to be "valuable user".

Also curious of the basis of these Verified stuffs or they are just randomly generated.

The Spanish local forum is a bit baffled by the KYC requirement. April fool’s Day in Spanish speaking countries is normally on the 28th of December, so some are likely to go straight for it, even Doxing themselves to some/full extent.

I’m insisting it’s real, showing my KFC/KYC selfie taken this morning as evidence of just how serios the requirement is …

Hey my account is verified now. No fear to post your selfie here, it's safe.

I was surprised by the amount of effort and documents that people are preparing to pay for some dollars of signature campaigns. Or in more nuanced terms "than some of shitcoins offered by those campaigns."

I do not know where I came from analyzing that most of them got 0 merits? But newbies are always fooled by such things. "I was fooled last year."
