I was excited about Brave when first introduced, had it on my laptop and mobile and was mostly using it until they introduced their wallet, after signing up to their wallet which was, not sure if still is, on Uphold, they asked for the normal verification process then they asked for a selfie carrying the ID.

I asked them if it's possible to pass this part as I don't really trust online wallets to save that much of info, my local bank never asked for a selfie carrying the ID, only copy of the ID, and they insisted it's a must. Then I simply asked what are the guarantees their system won't be hacked, like every other system holding personal info of that much, and in case it does get hacked whether by outside hackers or inside leakers, how will they compensate me?

They blocked my account.

So, if you have no issues getting your ID and your selfie carrying it leaked by an insider or hacked by an Israeli company and sold to the Saudis who then would blackmail you, you can go ahead, I'm personally not comfortable with this new stupid security verification method.

Well, as I'm thinking about it now, maybe I'll consider sharing with them that much info if they will share with me their trade license copy, partners' list, copy of the ID of each partner and director with a selfie of him/ get carrying it... 🤔
