What are you guys thoughts on the Know your customer (KYC) Process many ICO's are now implementing?

Seems very anit-crypto in the sense that anonymity is king. Also ive read of some of these KYC processes being hacked and these unregulated companies being reckless with very important documents/information.

Seems like the right thing to do. But yeah giving your personal info to basically anyone nowadays seems like a bad idea if you can avoid it.

The anonymity of crypto is pretty much gone. Every exchange pretty much doing KYC and if funding is going out and big companies investing those coins will be using KYC. Even your transactions on the chain are public. If you are going to be in crypto expect to do KYC or miss out on a lot of stuff.

Once it hits exchanges, what marketcap $ amount would stop you from buying on fomo day?

Easily at $1bil mcap or less its a snap buy, but tbh I think its unlikely anyone gets in that cheap.

If by "be in crypto" you mean invest and trade, then I agree. As a user it's still possible to stay anonymous.

Seems like this is about to happen. People thinking it will come to binance and only there.

Is there anyway to set an alert from somewhere when this thing goes live? Or just have to get lucky?


Might be time to get ready to load up. Might have to move some btc around.

Signed up for the Mobius public sale whitelist. Still not sure if I'll participate, need to look into it more, but wanted the option

Id assume binance would have it up asap given its just a fork of eth and nothing new to work with.

Where can you find these pre-sales/ ICO? Is there a site ?

Some of the ICOs I was looking at in January:

Most have passed.

I was also eyeing Elastos, but a couple things didn't sit right with me.

Silly name but just might be a pension plan in the making.

Not to confuse another bnk coin, but Tony G is backing this https://bankera.com/

Why do so many ICO's exclude people from the USA?

How is it "anti-crypto"? There's a million different crypto projects with a million different goals. If you want to be anonymous, you can, it just takes a little more effort than depositing with a credit card on an exchange.

Oh noes, reckless unregulated companies losing our dox! That would never happen with a legit regulated company like yahoo or equifax right?

Currently reading the whitepaper for https://betbox.ai/, a sports betting hedge fund.

Page 2 starts out with a rather hilarious typo:
I wonder how long Aditus will last after the bubble bursts:
The poor crypto ballers feel left out

Looks like there's a TON of crypto-boners for TON: https://www.investinblockchain.com/t...ocurrency-ton/

It's one of those do-everything coins. It's an enormous undertaking, and I don't think there's anyone I would even imagine having a shot at pulling it off at this stage except Telegram. That said, I think it's a long shot for them as well, but if they do it would be huge.

Many of the features they intend to implement are indicated as being decentralized alternatives of online services that already exist today. I have a hard time seeing that they can accomplish that for all those features. It will be interesting to see their technical solutions, and what degree of decentralization they will manage to accomplish.

It could all be a huge money grab, cashing in on the brand and user base of Telegram. But they also have a shot at being first mover and almost monopolize a new market.

How can I best prepare myself to invest in an ICO regarding payment process.
Is it best to have Etherium or BTC in an online wallet? Seems like timing is everything with all ICOS now and they get bought up rather quick. For a small time investor how can I get ready to invest in an ICO with 2-10 ETH worth while I currently only have coins on exchanges?

the poxy whitelist on apex filled in 15 mins, which i had planned on putting money into. so yeah i agree that timing is everything on ICOs right now.

for sure set up an online wallet. you shouldn't keep it all on exchanges anyway unless you actively trade most of it regularly.

Put some btc on binance to preempt wanchain. Plz have a btc pair and not just an eth pair.

Also anyone have thoughts is difinity?

Anyone looked at Datawallet- i like the product and the market, but the fact that they only have 2 team members and are only offering 33% at ICO with no timeline for the distribution of the other tokens concerns me.

Dfinity team is mega stacked. I'm praying they do a normal ICO but theres no word of it and looks unlikely from what I can tell.

Hope if they Do they take people form the US.
