To my understanding, KYC simply means "Know your customer". Investors(customers) who participate in ICO are made to go through KYC process before they are even allowed to purchase their tokens. On the other hand, Bounty hunters are just "part time workers" of the project and not customers. Even if they will be made to go through a KYC process, it should be before they start working and not after. Waiting for them to finish working for the project and refusing to pay them because they failed to pass KYC afterwards is a total cheat.
It is simple, send your 'KYC' and receive your token rewards. Those who refuse to do so are mostly the 'cheaters'. Through KYC, multiple account users will be determined and they will only be able to receive rewards for 1 account only. Using multiple accounts is prohibited in order to promote fairness and that I think is reasonable. In my opinion, KYC is not a problem although it eats up time sending, but if it is for fairness, I won't mind doing so.
