Tor user here. Cypherpunk who remembers that it took an excruciatingly long time to generate 4096-bit RSA PGP keys on 90s hardware. I am strictly pseudonymous. I am so dedicated to encrypting everything, everywhere, all the time,

If you really think that a crypto anarchist / cyberpunk / anyone reasonable/rational/knowledgeable (i.e. any desirable user) is going to submit KYC to become a merit source or even to register here, then you are a nutjob.
I wonder why Jet Cash merited this shitpost.
Me, too.
...you were saying?
You seem to know your privacy stuff. I respect people who work on their opsec.
I wonder why Jet Cash merited this shitpost.
Because Jet Cash doesn't like the system. S/he feels they got screwed out of reaching Legendary status because they were close to hitting the range as the merit system was deployed. You'll notice that Jet Cash has a lot of schemes to try to get people to spend their merits on his/her posts, which are usually thinly veiled to appear as though he's a promoter of the system.
I think that Jet Cash would need to speak for Jet Cash. Anyway,
arguendo, dislike for the merit system would not adequately explain giving merit to anything KYC.
Agreed. I dislike the merit system as a solution for the problems that we've been facing, given the other simpler solutions that could have been implemented. However, my dislike of the system is not going to manifest itself in giving merit to someone who wants
KYC on a crypto-forum.
(Funny, that. I was just now perusing forum archives, trying to learn more about the trust system and DT. I got quite an eyeful about QuickSeller... and here he is! It figures that he gave merit to OP.)
The reason he gave OP merit is because I called out the Jet Cash for giving him merit. Had I not gotten involved, he would not likely have given any points here. It's quite obvious and most people are just sick of his vendetta bullshit (hence his -1k rating).
I saw a guy uploading certificates and other personal stuff in another thread on this forum so yeah people in dire circumstances are fucking desperate for money and could do anything. I am not sure which group is bigger - the one consisting of narcissistic douchebags or the one comprised of desperate earners.
People who do that should explicitly be banned from participating in any campaigns. People who are desperate for money via campaigns are up to no good and are contributing to the problem.
I dont know what you mean by certificates, but I presume you refer to some sort of identity info. There
is a thriving black market for such things. (Edited to add:) This could be an easy means to cash out.
(Somehow, I overlooked this before. Thanks for highlighting it.)
Can you add link to that thread ? Was it added to show identity proof to a campaign manager ?
