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.
not all project that required the kyc is to cheat bounty hunters, some is a legit one
I agree, i am not against KYC but it must be cleared before hand.
I understand the sentiment of people who are complaining about projects implementing KYC at the end of the campaign, since many of us here does not want their identity to be exposed online. The argument is that if they new that KYC is needed they would look for another campaign that does not require one but, they believe they were being cheated since they are unable to fulfill the requirement of passing KYC and not be able to get the reward they should receive if the project does not change rule.
