Why did bitcointalk now had KYC verification?

[Wale777]

I think it's only April Fools. Don't be too serious about this, we should laugh. try going to META you will see everyone jokes for this.

Yes he actually put the joke on us and the joke got many bitcointalk users including myself, it was until my friend told me he thinks it is april fool that i now relax because it wouldnt have been funny if it is true, hundreds of people would have been kicked out owing to the fact they wont release their information

They are basically saying its an april fools joke but it is not impossible that for now on, bitcoin talk will going to implement this system to verify the accounts. Well, indeed I can say it is still commended as a precaution for people with multiple accounts, be alert to be honest nowadays, use one account to be prepared for this.

Yeah sure, no way that they won't consider to implement KYC for real. This is a forum for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. A lot of the people are here because they value their privacy and don't want the government or big companies to have all their data.

I know its very  hard to explain, but why did theymos think that KYC is really necessary for this lovely forum?

Go ask theymos himself. Anyway, you can directly send him private message if you want to get the answer. For now, just follow what he wants us to do to avoid any conflict or else you can go quit posting in the forum.

Why we should all get a headache with this requirement? I have seen the same concern all in the forum today. This is a perfect joke made on April fool. But I guess the administration is actually thinking of this. Hopefully this will not happen. And I have read mixed reactions to this April fool 'joke', both positive and negative. Public opinion is needed on this topic I think.

It's a biggest joke in this forum dude. It's April fool.  Before you submit your KYC just check the news link above. Firstly i thought also why KYC (i have no problem with though) then i saw theymos post. You can understand when you see. 

[zgrdyg]

Because it is april fools that is why

If you don't know the date, it strikes like a lightning i must say. But they give hint on the form about the joke.

Believe me, if bitcointalk leads this verification rate, it will lose more than half of its members. In addition, the leadership of the forum will never pursue such a policy, since it is unprofitable for them.

KYC will sooner or later need a Bitcointalk, as this will make it better. Scammers and spammers will be less, and this is not all the benefits.

[ned.ryerson]

stop thinking about it and just read the questions that are written in the KYC passage. it's just a one-day joke

[kindbtc]

There was some kind of joke even last time around as well as far as i remeber, looks like the forum admin really enjoys this day, i have not seen him celebrating any other day like this, i hope he will giveaway rank advancement giveaways too to old and active members like me when he had a happy day .

It is just a big joke ,
It is just Theymos having fun on the forum every April 1 he would do something to make fun and celebrate the April Fool's Day.
So just relax this year he really fooled a lot of member and I am one of those who got fooled by this prank  .

I wonder how many users here really submit those info to him.  Upon reading the details that you need to submit, you will wonder that it is only a prank. If you do not forget the date today, April Fool's will be the first one you will think of this commotion.

[alt-fire]

Man! This is just big joke because it fool day Did you saw questions about ammount of your partners in bed? Or about 70 types of your gender? 

[Zuxe]

Lol at first I thought that it was actually real, not until I found out that it was only a prank just to fool some users on the forum, being that it's the first day of April. A day to make all sort of jokes and laugh about. Though there are many who did fell for it lol!

I am sure you would have gotten the joke by now,It's "April fool's " day. The kyc is a mockery if you take time to read the details. You are even asked to submit contacts info of past romantic relationship... Get the sense of humour..

Why is it so difficult for people to just understand a simple joke? Just by opening the KYC form tells you that this is a joke. Please sometimes take your time to read through everything before creating a post thread. But anyway if you want to find answers to this question, visit the meta section of this forum. All the answers are there. Happy April fool's day to you all.
