I wouldn't count on that list. Just out of curiosity i checked poloniex that was listed as no-kyc, because i know they comply with regulators, like most of the CEXes in the world.
You can find poloniex requirements under:

Quote
3. REGISTRATION PROCESS; IDENTITY VERIFICATION

Where did you get this? I'm guessing it's either outdated or out of context

According from their help article, KYC is not mandatory

Q: What features and limits am I eligible for?

Our Level 1 account tier allows customers to access unlimited trading, unlimited deposits, $10,000 per day in withdrawals, and lending simply by entering their email address and password and verifying their email. For more information, please go here.

I'd say the list -- No-KYC exchange encyclopedia is for the most part reliable as it's personally checked. Updates are not real time of course but it's regular enough for most use cases. It's a good guide that cuts a good amount of steps when trying to research about a particular CEx. I've used it as a guide and then cross-checked with the picked exchange to be extra sure, it worked well.

Just to put it out of the way, my was question was about the withdrawal limit and it has been answered.

Now, I'm trying to access the spot trading and it doesn't load. Is there a maintenance or something?



I did try with a different browser (with extensions and blockers disabled), without an account and changed countries but no luck.

How did you find this? Did someone slide on your DM's? because from what I've seen, it's typically how people find these obscure AF websites which turns out to be a scam everytime.

Judging how there's absolutely nothing about them, I'd be very surprised if they actually turned out to be legit lol. I say, skip this and anything similar, it is very likely a scam.

EDIT: Just saw the edit from the 2nd post. This could just be another scam attempt from OP

Plz help i cant sent any amount btc to my btc address , its blocked or blacklisted plz help me

👀

Check their profiles, Fullbear2222 and Portocervo777 have similar username format and posting patterns. This couldn't be more obvious  Wink

I doubt both of them can be reasoned with, since they're pretty much colluding to promote their signal group -- see how all the valid red flags pointed out by other members gets thrown out of the window as well. But for the sake of everyone else who might read this. Please know that signal groups are prone to scams e.g. pump and dump scheme, etc. Further, would you really trust an internet stranger who fake usage/interest lol
665  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Koinpark - The best cryptocurrency exchange platform on: September 03, 2023, 07:20:17 PM
I checked the whois status of all their ecosystem domains and all were also registered this year. Curious about which domain they started in 2014.

I've seen shady crypto services try this excuse -- that they have moved domain or changed their branding, but most often, they can't back this information. I did search about Koinpark previously and results returned dates from this year. A long time exchange with high figures would return results that matches when cross-checked on google.

Of course, if OP has a solid proof to back such claim, I'm pretty sure the community is willing to listen. In the mean time, it is best to err on the side of caution.
666  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Koinpark - The best cryptocurrency exchange platform on: September 02, 2023, 11:34:55 PM
I just wanted to give the OP a chance to get more attention on this forum, the site actually loads without problems on my PC. Indeed, this exchange has to improve a few points especially responsiveness and trading appearance to make the "best" claim not just bullshit and make people laugh.
I think they have really worked hard to build the business considering that they only started this year.
https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/koinpark
https://youtu.be/LtcbB0f2kjk

And yet they claim to have started from a long ago lol.



Other figures appear to be heavily inflated as well given how they actually started this year. Further, a long time exchange with such high figures would have traces when you google them.

With how dishonest they are from the getgo and simple things, I wouldn't give them such chance.
667  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Facebook Ads Scam on: September 02, 2023, 08:59:51 PM
Lol. Scamadviser should've just sticked to listing pros and cons instead of drawing out scores alongside with conclusions that could be misleading for the gullible people

e.g.

It seems that afexeu.com is legit and safe to use and not a scam website.

... Websites that score 80% or higher are in general safe to use with 100% being very safe.

Yes, you could list valid SSL, etc as a positive but we all know many scammers have them as well hence these conclusions ain't helping.

You're right about leaving fake reviews. There is even a buy/sell market for such things. Anyhow, I tried to leave a negative review yet I'm not seeing it showing up. Perhaps, it might take time. Has anyone tried?
668  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Crypto wave everywhere on: September 02, 2023, 08:01:12 PM
If it's truly restricted to transact and trade with crypto in you place, yet, you're still hearing lot's of buzz from your local people, I can only guess the laws aren't being enforced lol.

However, try to still look more into the the legality of cryptocurrencies in your place particularly about repercussions and decide if it sits right with you. There are ways to obfuscate tracks but that is something that needs to be learned and may not be beginner friendly depending on the extent.
669  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Accessible Programs for Aspiring Crypto Influencers. on: September 02, 2023, 06:10:02 PM
Well, it's an overly saturated market hence it's only expected to be extra difficult, that's why some people are resorting to unethical methods like inflating their numbers.

I can only say, try to look into your local communities, perhaps, the situation is a little better compared to the internatonal scene. Yes, you'll be halving potential audience but if it's not as saturated then perhaps, it'll be a bit easier to gain traction.

As for programs, have you tried playing with search engines? you could also look for general stuff and not just for crypto as I believe a lot would still apply.
670  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: Buying cash in-person on: September 01, 2023, 10:19:31 PM
Look into the list on kycnot.me particularly BISQ, agoradesk.com and hodlhodl.com as last I check, they support this.

Robosats (use the onion site) allows manual input of payment method so it should work too.
671  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Countries where Bitcoin is “banned” on: September 01, 2023, 08:35:52 PM
With that in mind, I decided to do some research on the subject and found an interesting article from EuroNews - Bitcoin ban: These are the countries where crypto is restricted or illegal. The information contained in the article is already a year old, but it allows you to have an overview.

I'll take this opportunity to suggest this wiki, see: Legality of cryptocurrency by country or territory

It covers more countries, is more updated and has citations for the most part.

How do you think bitcoin users deal with these situations?
How do they manage to get around these restrictions without getting caught?

Ideally, either they don't touch anything restricted or they actually know what they're doing. But things can change a lot depending on how enforceable the restrictions are/how much does a country care.

This reminds me of an article about Indians moving to foreign exchanges to avoid paying hefty taxes, see: https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2023/01/04/indians-moved-over-38b-to-foreign-exchanges-since-crypto-tax-rules-research-study/

Hope these fellas knew what they were doing since exchanges share information with authorities but then again, I do wonder how much effort the govt is putting in when it comes to effectively enforcing their laws. Who knows they could just be lifting a finger hence even those who suck at hiding their traces will be getting a free pass.
672  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Where to purchase bitcoin to avoid being a victim of fraud on: September 01, 2023, 12:33:15 PM
Is Paxful not closed, and now directing their customers to Noones?

They came back! Paxful founders had some ugly drama -- lawsuit was involved, users funds were frozen

Noones is the ex-CEO highly recommended platform (he's likely affiliated with them in some way)
The other co-founder is with the paxful.com of today

Take it as you like.

Personally, I did not like how things escalated and people's money were put on such risk. Thankfully, I'm not interested in both exchanges lol.
673  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Be Aware of Remitano Change of Address: Don't Send Bitcoins to it Again on: September 01, 2023, 10:10:56 AM
A considerate exchange would've given their users an ample amount of time to settle in by allowing requests to recover funds sent to old address/es.

However, let's admit CEx's are not always considerate to their users hence I'd put more focus on things that I can control which is myself and make it a rule to get the deposit address from the exchange, that way we could also check if our account/exchange is in normal condition.
674  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [SCAM Alert] Okbet.com frozen on: August 31, 2023, 11:21:48 PM
Have you tried filing a police report? if you get the authorities to cooperate, I'd imagine your case gets more weight + priority to your local regulator.

Found an interesting thread and thought I'd mention since Gcash + gambling were indicated in this thread. The gist is, shady gambling websites also phished their users' gcash accounts therefore as a just to be sure precaution, I would advise changing your login information in gcash as well! see full article: https://www.rappler.com/technology/gcash-security-breach-phishing-online-gambling-sites-npc/
675  Economy / Service Discussion / Kroll data breach exposes info of FTX, BlockFi, Genesis creditors on: August 27, 2023, 11:58:01 PM
It's scary to think that companies out there are still relying on SMS/phone numbers for securing important employee accounts. The article did mention MFA but why bother adding SMS/phone number? and who knows what is included in their MFA.

Kroll, who is facilitating claims for insolvent companies FTX, BlockFi, and Genesis Global Holdco, has confirmed that one of its employees was the victim of a SIM-swapping attack.

Hackers stole the Kroll employee's phone number and used it to gain access to some files with personal data of bankruptcy claimants.

Of course, the employee in question was a T-mobile user. If you're a T-mobile user, I suggest looking into all the sim swap accidents they've been in lol

In a statement today, Kroll says that a threat actor on August 19 targeted a T-Mobile account belonging to a Kroll employee and managed to steal the phone number of a Kroll employee.

Genesis affected users has had the following leaked: full names, physical addresses, email addresses, and debtor claim details. FTX claims no-sensitive data has been compromised but I'm not sure I trust it.

In any case, if you submitted a claim on kroll, be extra careful with phishing scams cause it's safe to assume perps are gonna attempt it a lot.
676  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: A must read if you are running Crypto wallet on PC on: August 27, 2023, 09:17:39 PM
Here’s an example post on a well know bitcoin forum. It may actually look quite familiar …:

[image]

Oh god, I remember this. It's quite sad that some people took the bait when a lot of members [on the mentioned topic] have already warned others not to download the file since OP there was being suspicious -- there is no need to place them in a rar file + newbie

Like I used to use WinRar since I first owned a PC and didn't even have the intention to replace WinRar.
But seeing that Winrar is quite vulnerable like that, then 7zip is a good choice for me to switch from Winrar. Of course there will be a few more vulnerabilities, rather than risk it is better to use one that has been proven safe.

It's not the first time as well, see: Hackers Exploit 19-Year-Old WinRAR Vulnerability

However, if someone likes to download random files on the same device they do important stuff, I'm afraid it defeats the purpose of switching.

I have chatted with Binance support by asking questions like the case you raised about registering an account on the Binance exchange with a different country ID card.
They directed me to https://www.binance.com/en/support/faq/xxxxxxxx. I opened the link provided, there I found nothing related to the OP's question.

Lol sounds like you encountered a poor support and need to try again.

It's not just binance but in most CEx, talking to a support agent can be a hit or miss - sometimes you get an agent who knows what they're talking about, in other times, no. Furthermore, your chances would also depend on the inquiry. For instance, more agents would know the answer to an easy/common inquiries rather than complicated types.
678  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is KCGI? on: August 26, 2023, 11:53:32 PM
After seeing those comments and researching, I think I will try. And I think that Bitget will not do anything that is going to tanise its reputation.

Nice try on soft shilling Bitget. I was curious on the title because the acronym seems familiar but I become skeptical by reading other newbie reply and your post history that always related to Bitget exchange.

Shilling exchange in any form (both directly and indirectly) will tarnish the reputation of the service you are promoting. Just do this kind of Q&A on the official ANN thread and use campaigns to promote here.

Reminds me of the thread I saw yesterday mentioning KCGI, see: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5464389

I didn't think much of it but after seeing this post, I just had to peek into their post history and ofc, there's a post saying bitget is the best lol. Further, it is posted around the same time as this. Frankly, I have no idea why people think employing easy-to-spot sock puppets is a good thing.
679  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best nonKYC exchange? on: August 26, 2023, 10:22:30 PM
Another website (or list) you could look into is kycnot.me although a lot are P2P and instant exhanges -- idk if they fall to your use case.

But do watch your usage with no-mandatory KYC exchanges because they could always request you to KYC and worse, be adamant of keeping your funds unless you succumb to their demands. It's safe to say different exchanges could react differently on the fact that you're a US person which a lot of CEx prohibit -- I've seen some be lenient e.g. binance and strict e.g. paxful
680  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Binance and multiple citizenship on: August 26, 2023, 07:34:49 PM
Here's my take lol

I'd say there's a good chance you could still pass the identity verification for your newly created account. Who knows, perhaps their kyc software ain't that hard to fool lol. Keep in mind that some exchanges like binance are geo-blocking people hence you must never access your account from a banned-country's IP.

However I'd imagine problem/s would arise once they come to know you have a previous account with them, perhaps they will off-board you again. Binance as of writing allows one master account per person and you technically have an account with them therefore creating a new account under the same name/person could count as breaking the rule.

In addition, the person in question being a citizen from a banned country is definitely up for discussion. Further, if it's revealed you're residing in the banned country as well, that would be a double blow on your chances.
