Correction: there might've been KYC when he signed up to get paid on Gusto but idk.

NYDIG is not really a Bitcoin company in a traditional sense. I feel like they're the first in a wave of institutional Bitcoin companies ... Good for Bitcoin in one way, but will likely erode the cypherpunk values. 

I was also surprised, and am not very convinced that all their KYC stuff is forced by law. Also the whole KYC for contributing to bitcoin dev seems a bit counter to the whole ethos of the community, but that might also just be me.

A warning about NYDIG Bitcoin Bounties

I certainly don't understand "employment" regulations, but I'd be surprised if you have to KYC someone for even a fiat bounty.

I pay @ThrillerX_ as a contractor for SNL and afaik, there's no KYC with that.
