The requirement to pass the KYC (know-your-customer) test from the ICO companies is really a big problem both for investors in ICO campaigns and start-ups.
Some people (contributors) don't like to leave personal information to start-ups. What about you?
Would you participate in ICO if you like the project but your personal info is required? Please vote.
This poll will help ICOs to decide what should they do with this issue: apply KYC/AML and get lower rate of contributors or don't apply and get more contributors.
it definitely discourages me from participating.
if an ICO requires your personal data, then it just means that there is more of a risk for your data to be stolen. Also since you know that other people will probably also not invest due to this, you'd think that the potential for the price to rise from ICO prices is lower.
But of course, if it's a good project, and you are willing to provide your ID, nobody says you can't participate either.
