Coinpayments - Service Restriction Notice

[tomahawk9]

I got notified about this email that is also send out to users a few days ago.
My best guess every user need to do kyc sooner or later.

In order to maintain our high standards and operation in the evolving regulatory environment CoinPayments is now rolling out a KYC requirement in waves. Your area has been selected and in order to continue using our Merchant Services (buttons, API, etc.) you will need to complete KYC within 30 days at https://www.coinpayments.net/acct-kyc if you are only using us for Wallet Services (personal use of the wallets with no commercial activity) then KYC will not be required unless you want to remove your daily withdrawal limits.

I haven't got this email, it looks like Coinpayments has a weird news notification system imo, they send emails selectively to its users. Just wondering what could be the reason...

Yeah, I didn't get this email either, hell, I didn't even get the one in the OP.

But I don't think their notification system is acting weird or anything like that, if you read carefully the email above it says "Your area has been selected", I think they're sending these emails to the users with IPs located in the countries Coinpayments will enforce the new Terms of service.

It seems you are right... You have a logical point there.
It is just a start maybe and they have started with some selected locations. Maybe they will implement the KYC requirement steadily all over the world.

Damn, I hate KYC and it's pain... We all should give an angry looking selfie it will work like a silent protest.

can't tell if you're serious or just joking...Did you read the list? Nepal, Zambia, Syria, Vanuatu, Eritrea, etc...tell me, what crypto history do these countries have? 99% of people in this planet don't even know where most of those countries are on a map.

Syria has 1000s of years history afaik, it's not a new country which popped up a few 100 years ago. Not sure about Nepal, Zambia about their history but Eritrea is definitely the new one which I knew right now and I think I heard Vanuatu before. 

Oh, so the Phoenicians were using bitcoin a thousand year before it was invented?  
In terms of crypto usage those countries of an importance trending between 0 and zero.

You think that's half the number of countries there are? What kind of Geography teacher took your class mate?

Jokes aside, this is probably because cryptos are declared illegal in those countries. Don't blame Coinpayments, burn those governments down to the ground to solve your problem.

It\s not really about cryptos, most of the countries are already on a lot of blacklists, indeed because of their government fault or because of civil wars going on but its not a crypto thing alone.

How about accepting payments from these countries listed above?

You as seller offer your product / service on open market, and any buyer can bypass restrictions imposed by CoinPayments in a way to use VPN,
which is ultimately one of the purposes of this software. You can just add another solution for blocked countries, but also leave CP as a primary solution.

Just as Lucius said, you don't have to do anything.
It's simply them informing you as a seller that you won't be able to accept buyers from those countries (if they detect them), but if they really want to buy your product they will find a way around it.

Since quite some time has passed, any impact on your sales?

My reply to tomahawk9 was about the bold part, I haven't said Syria is using crypto from 1000s of years ago I guess. Just don't invent false meanings of other's posts, it looks odd imo.

Tomahawk9 asked a question about crypto history (see the bolded part) because that's what we're discussing here, we're talking about crypto payments, not digging relics, you jumped on it, misses the crypto part and tried to teach us a history lesson no one wanted, I made a joke about it, nobody got hurt, get over it and keep moving

"Crypto History" it was another sentence. I picked the other sentence where he said what he said. So what's wrong with that?

I know what we are discussing here as I have created the thread to people know about Coinpayments restrictions, you don't have to tell me, I know the topic.
Am I the first one here in Bitcointalk who went a little bit off-topic in a specific topic and answered a different thing of a different phrase?

As an example, in my other posts, I have said what I said and that can also be found in Lucius post but you have picked my little off-topic to troll here and picked other's post to post your comment -- the reason?

If my post to tomahawk9 was off-topic and no one was interested then don't you think your joke was also an off-topic same as mine?
You also went off-topic same as I mate..., it's not a topic for joke post, serious discussion going on here. You just can't go a little bit off-topic.

They gave me 1hr for support ticket but no response yet.

Anyway, I think they don't allow me to sell in these countries so I decided to disable their WordPress plugin temporary and find another alternative.

You might find this interesting: https://coinsutra.com/bitcoin-payment-gateways-merchants/
and this: https://www.devteam.space/blog/10-best-bitcoin-payment-gateways-for-2019/

Already checked them from google but I don't see any trusted alternative for coinpayments and it looks I need to stay accept bitcoin with coinbase payment gateway.

What I'm looking right now is a woocommerce plugin for WordPress that accepts bitcoin and most of the altcoins just like copayments but it looks like no alternative yet that accept most of the altcoins.

Did they ever reply back to your support ticket?

Is the Woocommerce plugin a permanent alternative to CoinPayments?

I was expecting to see such post from either one from a DT member or from a chipmixer participant or from the special ones (loved by DT and CM participants.)
I thought CM participants are like the "All knowing persons"... they know everything in land and sky... How come you don't know the history? very disappointing...

Don't want to counter the counter in this thread anymore -- if I do it will become totally an off-topic thread.
Anyway, I'm locking out this thread otherwise more trolls will start to support stompix because almost every CM participant will think he is right and I'm wrong.

Those who are interested in Coinpayments issue, please create a new thread. Regards!
