video kyc is still the same as photo kyc  . you still need to hold your own i.d to ensure that you are a real person with real  identitiy .

Xlm airdrop isnt also a joke because it is sponsored by the famous blockchain wallet  .  the reason why they are doing it is because they want to include stellar on their supported currencies .

What seems fishy is that some particpants didnt manage to recieve their reward after they have done the task succesfully .

What are you talking about? There's the usual KYC, a passport photo and selfie holding a passport in hand.
