Spotted a privacy-focused Layer 2 project that's throwing up some major red flags. They're requiring doxxing just to get on their waitlist—which is pretty wild for something supposedly built around privacy.

The whole thing feels off. Came out of absolutely nowhere, and the accounts hyping it up? Never seen most of them before. Looks like coordinated shilling to me.

Anyone else seeing this or got the full context? Seems worth discussing whether this is legit or just another play to farm personal data. The privacy angle combined with forced identity verification is giving serious mixed signals. Be careful out there.

Privacy projects forcing doxxing? Isn't that a contradiction haha --- It's another new account collectively hyping up, I can recognize this routine with my eyes closed --- Wait, privacy coins require real-name authentication? Where's your brain --- All the accounts that appeared are zombie followers, too obvious brother --- Feels like they just want to harvest personal information and don't want to get involved --- I've seen many projects like this, same old tricks --- Privacy + mandatory verification = a big scene of irony --- New projects, new accounts, new contradictions, good luck to you

Do privacy projects require you to submit identity information? I call this an old trick. --- Wait, does the privacy Layer2 also need doxxing? Isn't this a joke? --- It's just another new trick from airdrop farmers; I'm already tired of it. --- I've always said that projects that appear out of nowhere are not good, and as expected. --- So in the end, they just want our personal data; privacy is just a cover. --- I also have no impression of the accounts claiming to be hyping, definitely operated by a studio. --- privacy + forced doxx, what a flashy combination to come up with.

Haha, a privacy project that requires doxxing? Isn't that a contradiction? --- This move is truly outrageous, a privacy project actually exposing details? --- Another "new project," with a full lineup of paid shills --- Privacy + mandatory verification... I can only say, wow --- Appears suddenly and disappears just as quickly, I've seen too many tricks like this --- Want privacy but first have to provide personal information? Are you sure this isn't sarcasm? --- The slot fee is just a thin veil --- No, no, such contradictions are the most suspicious --- Wait, a privacy project that wants you to doxx yourself? What kind of logic is that? --- It's just a shell for harvesting profits, isn't it?

Privacy projects actually require doxxing to get on the whitelist? Isn't that pure nonsense? --- I don't recognize any of the accounts that pushed this, feels like a script. --- It's the same old trick of using privacy as a pretext to cut the leeks, all the same shit. --- Wait, who came up with this logic? Privacy projects require real-name verification? --- I just want to know who's behind this, too suspicious. --- Privacy + mandatory verification, this is just ridiculous, everyone. --- Here's another one, but I really want to know what they do with the data. --- Is this real? Privacy projects suddenly ask for your ID card. --- Amazing, can anyone even believe this? --- Wait, they might be trying to set up a honeypot, right?
