I have about $500 to play about with and was just looking for some ICO projects that I might put some money into in the hope that they take off. I understand the risks etc. etc. and it's as much about a bit of fun as anything. It's money I can afford to lose.
I noticed a project (Solidus AI Tech) that piqued my interest and so I signed up to see what the process was for buying it's token.
I noticed that there are certain KYC requirements before tokens can be purchased which I assume involves me sending copies of passports/drivers licenses or other documentation to verify that I am who I say I am.
Is this standard practice? I know that the crypto sector is rife with scammers and I'm not comfortable providing that sort of documentation. Are they legally required to request this?
