It took me weeks to think before I decided to give my ID uploaded to my local exchanger, so I will never give my ID to some random airdrops I didn't even know where they located.  Actually I don't join any airdrop that need social media account other than telegram and forum account.  :D

KYC is used to get rid of cheaters especially in signature campaign and it is a bit annoying though.

Do not join airdrops that require kyc. Your data is at risk and you will only get tokens that do not necessarily have good value on the exchange.

There will be 2 differences of opinion if talking about airdrop and KYC. Maybe some will agree and some will say disagree. People who disagree, usually they are worried about the abuse of KYC that has recently happened.

If the coin shows a legit one, you can freely submit documents in order to get an allocation to the airdrop reward, but if not, best to decline it.

I hate airdrops because I have not received any although I have filled a lot of them. I think I hate giving it time now. Now that they are some of them are requiring KYC, I won't even visit the airdrop section.

I think It is very risky. I prefer bounty campaign and do day trading. because many aidrops are scams.

if you follow airdrop using KYC, I think you should consider it, KYC is usually needed for ICO, you can see project details before performing KYC procedures. I suggest you not to trust KYC on Airdrop.

Im not really comfortable in given kyc to any campaign. Im afraid I will be a victim of scam and my identity will be stolen and can be use in illegal activities. There are so many people that complaining for identity thief and I don't want to be one if them. Before I join I make sure the company can be trusted and legit before given any information to them.

Post by: Arendra on September 01, 2018, 08:25:44 AM
I personally agree with KYC to airdrop because this is very important to avoid multiple accounts. Today many people use multiple accounts to follow airdrop. In addition, many cases when tokens will be shared, there is no data match.
Title: Re: KYC and Airdrop Token
Post by: abc123 on December 02, 2018, 10:28:20 AM
I don't think that the KYC procedure is needed for Airdrops,but it maybe useful for Bounty campaigns,this measure will help to prevent cheating/multi accounting.

I think this is a problem for quite a long time because many people are doubling their accounts by making as much profit as possible and I think this has positive and negative sides. From the positive side it reduces multiple users or followers and the negative side if a project is not clear.

if in my opinion the good cyclist in the bounty or airdrop actually doesn't need bro. because every participant who joins the bounty and their Airdrop is registered on the sepraedseet. only the manager divides the gifts according to those listed on the sepraedseet

You should not fill the kyc for airdrop. because it's too risky, your data could be used for the benefit of others.
Title: Re: KYC and Airdrop Token
Post by: Ghozrd on December 02, 2018, 02:01:13 PM
It is better if you do not join Airdrop if you have to fill out a KYC form, never give detailed information to someone or a project whose origin is unclear. But if you are sure of what you are doing, you can fill out the KYC form according to the risk you receive if the project that you are following is fraud
Title: Re: KYC and Airdrop Token
Post by: vegasus on December 02, 2018, 02:28:02 PM
It has been discussed for several times actually. In my opinion, actually I don't think that it is good because sending our ID to them is very risky. Moreover, we don't know that it is legit or secure or not. However, nowadays, almost many bounties and airdrop programs do the same. So, if you are sure with the project, complete it. But if you are doubtful and the reward is small, leave it.
Title: Re: KYC and Airdrop Token
Post by: alyanov on December 02, 2018, 02:36:16 PM
I think it's dangerous if we give our identity just to get airdrop, I'm afraid the data we provide is misused for certain purposes, my advice is not to give our data just airdrop.
Title: Re: KYC and Airdrop Token

I didnt participate in bounty with KYC because my identity is more valuable than the KYC process.  It is very risky and for your security.

t took me weeks to think before I chose to give my ID transferred to my neighborhood exchanger, so I will never give my ID to some irregular airdrops I didn't know where they found. In reality I don't join any airdrop that require online life account other than wire and discussion account.

Mostly airdrops are offering peanuts money and my id information is way important than that.

Also it feels like it may become fake and just looking to steal lots of id's.
Title: Re: KYC and Airdrop Token
Post by: Abusadeeq6 on December 02, 2018, 05:10:56 PM
Some airdrops used our documents for other purpose and only few are genuine. So we have to be extra careful in dealing with airdrop for now

I heard the first time asking KYC in airdrops.I think it's for who guys joined twice or more.But I think it's not necessary to joined this type of airdrops.I don't expect more reward from airdrops coin that's I don't support KYC, also airdrop coins are very weird price.

Airdrop for KYC i think that is not too good.
I have a worry for my private ID and airdrop is have a big percent to be a scammer.

KYC is good for bounties. Some kyc is difficult and some kyc is easy. Through kyc we can see my proof and get coins. Some people use some another name so get rejected.
Title: Re: KYC and Airdrop Token
Post by: gotbounty on December 03, 2018, 11:41:06 PM
I also found some that airdrops and bounties  process need the KYC verification. I think it is normal. however, I personally will think and consider carefully about the team and the exact ICO project. If the project and rewards are profitable, i will follow it. If they only make some benefits for us I will leave it.
Title: Re: KYC and Airdrop Token
Post by: Bit on December 04, 2018, 12:15:03 AM
What for the KYC for airdrop program? The participants just get very little amount of tokens or coins through airdrop. I disagree if KYC applied for airdrop. Why the project teams or bounty managers need the KYC. It is no need at all. 
Title: Re: KYC and Airdrop Token
Post by: Jaguar on December 04, 2018, 02:10:53 AM
Airdrops with KYC strictly implemented is such a business that is on going to build the foundation by asking others email in order to have an evidence that they are doing better. However, this should not be because it is airdrops meaning filled-up the forms if you want without asking your personal information.
Title: Re: KYC and Airdrop Token

A good airdrop to increase community members and KYC tokens are also good for maintaining the security of users who want to take our identity while participating in the Ico project
Title: Re: KYC and Airdrop Token
Post by: rapheal on December 04, 2018, 06:29:10 AM
I will skip all the airdrop need to KYC there are many frauds in crypto, any way participated in airdrop is unprofitable.it worthless and waste your time ,I would like to spend some time review the promising ICO than airdrop.

i think KYC is not needed for some airdrop project, because as we can see many airdrop are scam and when we send KYC identity of curse we send personal information to scam developer and who know if they sell our identity

Post by: tasyad12 on December 04, 2018, 11:11:44 AM
if it is true, I will follow to do kyc, but if there is a phishing link, I don't do anything. sometimes there is an airdrop / scam on behalf of the bounty to claim tokens that's where we have to be careful. if you do the Kyc to reduce fraudulent accounts or someone who uses someone else's account intentionally and irresponsibly

KYC for Airdrop ???

I think that is not worth it.
Airdrop is have a big percent to be a scammer project.
I am so afraid if my private ID is used for something.

Post by: Filo on December 04, 2018, 11:48:18 AM
Never join airdrops that require KYC. However, generally, they do not declare that they are gonna ask KYC at the beginning of the airdrop. It makes me crazy lol. They already give small rewards at airdrops and still ask KYC? I have only accepted KYC for important exchanges and a few bounties.
Title: Re: KYC and Airdrop Token
Post by: Fenix on December 05, 2018, 08:27:49 PM
I treat any KYC in relation to ICO bounty campaigners in a very negative way. I consider checking KYC against bounty hunters illegal. We do not have to pass KYC checks, since we are not investors. KYC checks should not be conducted in order to identify multiple accounts. For this there are other and more effective methods for this, it is not necessary to violate our right to the confidentiality of the individual.
Title: Re: KYC and Airdrop Token
Post by: Annalise on December 05, 2018, 11:24:33 PM
The pathetic part is having to submit your vital documents to be able to claim airdrop of maybe $5_10$.
It doesn't make any logical sense taking such risksfor that amount.
Evensoe bounty managers are using kyc issue as an alibi for with holding hunters reward .
Title: Re: KYC and Airdrop Token
Post by: 88percent on December 05, 2018, 11:36:22 PM
I have joined bounties for some projects and once for airdrops. Most of them need KYC process. Today, KYC is very usual to be done. WHat we must do? Of course we must complete it or we will not get the rewards. However, I think that we must analyze whether the bounties are legit or not. We can see the risk and profits.

Post by: yitzjoe on December 06, 2018, 05:00:34 AM
KYC will be hard to fake and this makes the participants in the bounty more real, KYC will make everyone happy both team dev and partners because the promotion target that the dev team wants is achieved and also the partners will get more coins because many fake accounts cannot follow the bounty

You are right to say that KYC is beneficial to both the ICO and the airdrop hunter but even the best airdrop till now will not fetch you much. KYC will put your personal info at a risk with such a low reward it is not a worthy thing to do.

Post by: Jacky on March 22, 2019, 11:28:53 PM
KYC for airdrops are not needed for me. I don't know why it should be required. I think we must never accept the KYC for airdrops. Our data must be more important than a little amount of airdrop token rewards that we will get.
Title: Re: KYC and Airdrop Token
Post by: Prime on March 22, 2019, 11:40:14 PM
How is the amount of the airdrop rewards if we convert it to dollars? Is that very promising? If there are only shitcoins (not the trusted coins), I think I will not fulfill the KYC process because it is too risky for us.

Post by: sturec22 on March 23, 2019, 06:28:16 PM
I dont send my KYC to any airdrops, I wont be selling my id for any projects which will give me 5 bucks of free tokens which maybe worth nothing in a couple of months. If these projects end up hacked, my passport can be sold on the dark web too. I wont be taking that risk my friend

To be frank, it's annoying ..how could this developers ask people to submit their. Vital documents because of Airdrops that worths less than $2 in most cases.
It's ridiculous .
I don't fancy the idea.
Title: Re: KYC and Airdrop Token
Post by: diygirl on April 06, 2019, 11:03:52 PM
I advise everyone to refuse KYC for airdrops. KYC is not suitable to apply in airdrops. If the team requires airdrop hunters to do KYC procedure for claiming the rewards, then you must be careful of data theft. There are many cases of data theft nowadays, so just be careful.
Title: Re: KYC and Airdrop Token

if for airdrop I think this is something that is excessive,
actually enough verification of telephone numbers is very good, we don't need to do KYC,
if for distribution of bounties or forums I think KYC is needed to avoid fraud and so on.

No, the KYC check should not be used to eliminate the possibility of having multiple accounts on this or another similar forum. Such a check is carried out only to prevent the laundering of dirty money and to combat the financing of terrorism. Arbitrarily, at their discretion, no one has the right to use it, because it violates the human right to the confidentiality of the person and should be used only in exceptional cases that are provided for this purpose.
In this regard, in relation to bounty hunters, it should not be applied at all.

I have ever done this, fulfilling KYC process with my document to get some Ripple coins worthed $25.
Well, actually it is very risky, yeah to offer our identity for that amount. That is why now, I will be more careful. It is actually not worthy to make KYC for airdrop tokens.
Title: Re: KYC and Airdrop Token
Post by: Zurcemozz on April 11, 2019, 03:04:59 PM
I think KYC had benefits, the positive one is like other said; it is to secure project and no cheater will be there but there is also a negative one which is just trying to get your identity, some of the project you joined needed it and when it fails they may use this to scam others.

Yes, it has benefits but on the other side, it has a big risk for the participant. I just read the information that there is someone that tries to sell the KYC data from participants of financex project. If you ever joined the project, you should follow the issue.

Uploading your documents to various projects is a bad idea, as it is risky and scammers can take advantage of your documents. But even if you decide to send your data, remember that the reward for Ayrdrop is very small and it is not worth it.

I have experience in working with airdrops and I can tell you that it is not necessary to waste time on airdrops because you will not earn anything there. so I do not advise you to send your documents but do not fill all these airdrops.

i wouldn't want to stress that most of the airdrops are worthless. the few ones that are valuable will not allow you to deposit if you have a low amount of tokens thereby requesting you to buy first before transferring to the exchange.

I can say that the requirement from ICO bounty campaigners to undergo a KYC check is illegal. KYC checks should be conducted only to prevent the laundering of dirty money and combat the financing of terrorism. How can ICO bounty campaigners relate to dirty money laundering and terrorist financing? Which ICO team can be suspicious of this in order to claim it?
