I need to find 10 people to sign-up and pass KYC in June, and another 10 in July. For that reason, I'm offering a reward of 0.25 KAU (gold backed crypto, worth ~$27 atm) which is coming out of my own pocket.
How is that coming out of your own pocket if you are not paying it in a token or coin that one can receive and exchange immediately?
Once that is done, you'll have a free account with 0.25 KAU on it, which btw is earning a yield every month! No further obligations.
Nowhere in your post did you mention how the users are going to be able to convert that token to something more common, such as Bitcoin, or maybe a well-known stablecoin, such as USDT, and then withdraw it.
I don't need an account with a token in it, or monthly yields; I'm being asked to complete a task for a reward, and I want my reward to be received in my wallet.
If you are really paying that money from your pocket, as you claim, then escrow some funds using a trusted member of this forum who will distribute them to those who complete the requirements, and then we will think about it.
