Is Gyroscope following KYC?

Closed topics 📅 October 28, 2021 💬 39 posts 👁️ 1061 views

In my Profile, Gyroscope gets my current location, and I don’t know is Gyro doing this for KYC or not?

Woww it’s exactly opposite of gyro I don’t think they do that :woozy_face: :woozy_face: :woozy_face: :woozy_face: :woozy_face: :woozy_face:

It seems that Discourse (the forum provider) represents your time zone based on your IP address. But I believe this is only represented to you. For instance, I can’t see anything about your location by viewing your profile.

In terms of Sybil resistance, there is an ongoing discussion in the community for what form this should take, and we have only provided possible avenues that could be taken at this time.

Discourse is great, many options and friendly

Personally, I think that a decentralized protocol should use decentralized solutions to such problems, which is contrary to what you think.
We need a decentralized Web.3 authentication system here

Hi , I think best way to prevent cheating is still using Discord and this forum. In other word in Discord we can see who is active and who is not. The people who created different accounts can not handle two forums.
Finally I think KYC is against the sprit of DeFi.

KYC is in conflict with the spirit of decentralization

We all in crypto want a decentralized world, as Satoshi’s dream! It’s not genius to ruin this by forcing to identify people!

Gyroscope deeply is a decentralized project and I think KYC is just a joke for that :))

I hope you are wrong, it’s hard to believe Gyro is going that path to user differentiation and KYC based on location.

kyc is not true way…because some of us are problem with it

:sleepy:**

I hope not. It would be a great disappointment for many of us. :grimacing: :unamused:

This is an already ended topic. @aklamun said that they didn’t choose any way yet according to this comment. Therefore I believe continuing this topic is only a waste of your time. If you want to talk about ways that Gyro should or should not use, please go to Sybil Resistance topic.

Thank you for not spaming! :smiley:

In my opinion, kyc has no place in a world that is moving towards decentralization.

I hope that your discutions conclude to not ask for KYC. I hope you do not forget the goal, decentralization.

Hi
I think kyc is not the right thing to do
I also think that activity in Discord is not a good criterion because many people are not active in it
A decentralized solution must be sought

I do not agree with that. We must remain decentralized
