Hi, I need to buy some altcoins and Poloniex is one of the few exchanges that has the currency pair that I need, my question is if Poloniex still allows withdrawals from unverified accounts since I do not like the idea of going through KYC? I just need to buy a few hundred dollars in coins so it's nothing big, can I do that?
It seems you can withdraw up to 2000 a day without verifying but I cannot find that information in the site of Poloniex and since I have never used a centralized exchange I am fearful my money is going to be stuck there.
No. I don't think that they will let you.
I've stopped using poloniex ages ago, but when I stopped it was due to legacy accounts not being able to withdraw with a $2k limit per day anymore and had to also undergo the necessary verification in order to withdraw. So previously, you had only one set of users called the legacy users who could stay anonymous, but now, even that is gone.
I'd suggest not even thinking about using Poloniex due to its horrendous track record with their customer support, but rather use Shapeshift if you want anonymity, are only exchanging a small amount of coins, and don't care about a few less percent on your coins.
