RE: Minnows: This is your chance to become a Whale!

in #contest5 years ago (edited)

Hi @hatu,
Could It be possible to link Steemit account (wallet) like we do in other dapps?.
Maybe It would be possible to add a phone number as other social networks use as a spam wall.
I personally have no problem identifying myself on a serious site. I've done It so many times...I can't understand why people get scared so easily about this when they are all monitored on their normal lives. All of us pay an ISP to go out over here and there...all have bank cards, Cars, insurances, we all pay with our cards while phonning...shoul I continue ? I Guess is enough.
Would be great if we could do It whitout a KYC process but I don't think it's a big problem. Other stuff is if it's worth. All seems so ideal and profitable...
Thanks so much for sharing this new, I came here thanks to Piotr and I'm glad I did.
Best wishes

Sort:  

The problem is that those hesitant to do a KYC would be equally hesitant to pass an OTP through their phone number.

But we all have already passed them so many times at so many sites like Facebook, Google( the whole service has even our payment credentials), Microsoft and a long etc.
I wonder how many steemians have already passed exchangers KYC’s in order to get some FIAT.
I understand that all must be careful but not paranoid.
Anyway a “must read” work and investigation should we all start with previous to any movement in such way.
Cheers

It's closer than you think. KYC is badly interpreted by many companies... and I get that... even experienced. But it will be something necessary! We just need to educate governments on how to do it right!

You make a point but sites like FB do not offer money for signing up. So, people have nothing to abuse.

Not true sorry... I can abuse if even not offered money for. One thing is not the opposite of the other... unfortunately that's the reality.
