i still dont understand why you only collect the data from people that try to swap and not people that are using the network.
as i have stated before if you want to become a payment processor you will have to comply with the real regulations, not some made up ones,
could you imagen visa without verification? your bank account? why do you target ico users?

but wait, i just noticed.. you send our data to some US KYC firm that works with coinbase and bittrex while not allowing US people to participate?
you basicly sell our data to the us authorities and call it the responsible way to do even if we have absolutly nothing to do with the usa.
the us data protection and privacy laws are like none existent. did you ever read about snowden (there is a movie now)

every true regulated company that works with money does need the complete kyc from all users (most companys offer a small limit for unverfied users)
why does nimiq not ?

KYC is required for anyone using our activation tool to receive NIM so we can prove the origin of tokens in the Nimiq Blockchain. After the Nimiq Blockchain has been launched anyone can use Nimiq. We do use Jumio (US based) as a secondary KYC, our default KYC is actually located in Switzerland. But I also don't see any problem in hiring a US company that provides certain service, versus future challenge accepting citizens from the US and countries in Sanction List.

[nimiqquestion]

Is it required that we complete this conversion? Can I just keep by NET tokens in my MEW account or is this activation required?

You can keep those for some months after the mainnet launch.
You can go through KYC without activating.

YES it is required. If you hold NET tokens you should proceed with Activations as soon as possible.

Not suggested at all. NIM activation after mainnet launch will be a manual procedure that we will provided as a last resort. If you want to be in control of your NIM we strongly suggest you activate your NIM.

Hello.

Will there be any exact deadline dates until the NIM activation should be done?

Thanks.

I bought my Nimiq on Liqui and don't want to do KYC. What are my options here? Am I pretty much going to be forced to sell now?

You can wait for NET and NIM to be listed simultaneously and trade NET-BTC BTC-NIM or something like that.

We recommend to do it as soon as possible. In the next couple of weeks we will announce the cut-off date, but we suggest to users to get done with  because, even though we will support Activation after mainnet launch, it will be a slower process because you would have to get in contact with us and prove ownership of your NET, now is just automatic using our tool.

What exactly do you mean by "if you want to be in control of your NIM ..."? Your sentence is quite strong, even beyond a simple recommendation. Also, the information I gave above was from personal activation experience and from info I got from discord mods. There are security, usability, liquidity, speculation etc reasons for not activating. Can you be explicit please what are the consequences of NOT activating now, so the community can make better decisions?

Thank you.

YES PLEASE!

You should really join the Telegram Nimiq channel, lot's of people there that can quickly answer your questions, specifically about the process from NET to NIM.  I just did the process and I am set for the mainnet launch

The one and only Genesis Block

Accounts in the Genesis Block make history. And the countdown for the Nimiq Genesis Block is on. NIM Activation for NET holders is live. We invite members of our community to enter the Activation Process and secure their spot in the Genesis Block. Depending on final touches, the cut-off for the Genesis Block will likely be some time in the next couple of weeks. At that point we will close entry to the Genesis Block and activations after that may carry delays and/or involve additional manual efforts. To secure your spot in the Genesis Block and due to expected KYC processing bottlenecks, we highly recommend you proceed and activate your NIM for NET soonest.
