I learned about your website from the
b1exch thread. I took a look at the site and noticed that it contains a genuinely useful list. I like that it indicates which services are open source. And I like even more that it indicates services perform AML checks. That's important to me as well, because the biggest risk when using NoKYC services is ending up with tainted funds.
Am I correct in understanding that you do not add new services to the list yourself and instead wait for the service owners to take the initiative and submit their platforms? Don't you think that this reduces the value of the list for users?
Also, why do you limit the scope to XMR, ZEC, LTC, and DASH? Why not include services that accept Bitcoin through privacy-enhancing protocols such as the Lightning Network and Tacit, or Litecoin through MWEB? Or services that support other cryptocurrencies through privacy-preserving channels?
Great questions — and glad you found us
through b1exch.
On adding services: we do add services
ourselves when we identify quality options
the community would benefit from.
Submissions are simply the faster route
for service owners who want to be listed.
On the coin requirement: XMR, ZEC, LTC,
and DASH are the baseline because they
represent established privacy-native
payment options. That said — you raise a
fair point about Lightning and MWEB.
We're open to expanding the criteria as
the directory grows. Feedback like this
is exactly what shapes that.
