All projects use KYC now, it is normal. It just to identify that you are not US or other prohibited countries resident and prevent bots using in registration.
This is completely false. I'm in multiple bounties and ICO's that are not requiring it. This guy is simply making this up.
It's a small majority of scam projects attempting to make this KYC scam stick. This fool must be one of them.
Any project which cares about technology and crypto will move there project to a proper local instead of putting all their supports information at risk. The biggest of the biggest corporations get hacked and the data stolen. Do not give your data to small time firms.
