Am I the only one thinking this sentence is a bit odd? It's true that I have no clue about mining, but a site having automatic (I guess OP mean minimum) payment thresholds of more than 250k does raise some serious red flags in my brain....

The pool(poolin.com) supports a custom threshold and has default minimum threshold so he should receive the BTC that he already mine after he reach the minimum withdrawal threshold to the set address.

So he might be talking about the wallet from poolinwallet.com and switch to new domain which is poolin.fi.

I tried to check their privacy policy and redirect me here https://h5.poolin.com/license/wallet_privacy_en.html
I don't see that they require photos, IDs and full face recognition but they require this.

Things you create or provide to us
1) When you create an account on the Website or other platform operated by the Company, you provide us with personal information that includes your phone number, email address and a password.

2) When you are using our mining services, we will collect information like number of miners, hashrate, earnings, wallet address, IP location etc. for the purpose of presenting information to you and for your convenience of management.

3) When you are using other specific products and/or services, for example online activities, gift campaign or others, you may need to provide extra information, including your name, gender, recipient address, company name etc. You do not need to provide such information if not use those specialized products or services.

4) We collect information about your activity in our services. For example, when you are using the help center, we will collect your search record and articles your click and the reviews you post. You have the right not to provide those data, but this may lead to your failure to use those functions.

There might have other reason why they ask for a photo of you and IDs for KYC. Maybe they ask it because you log in to different location with different IP or you log in to different device? This is just what I see according to their privacy policy.
