This is the first time I see dotnkyc.me website and I personally don't like it's design, especially when compared with other similar websites.
I needed time to navigate the website, find categories, and find what I was looking for, so it's not very intuitive.
In categories I can't even see full titles, so I have CryproCa... instead of Crypto Casinos.
Sorry but this is terrible design and it needs a lot of improvements Tongue


Thanks for the honest feedback, this is exactly the kind of first-impression input I need, and you are right on the concrete points.

Truncated category names: that was a real bug, not a design choice. The category tiles cut off long names with an ellipsis, so "Crypto Casinos" became "CryptoCa...". It is fixed: names are now shown in full (wrapping onto a second line where needed).

Finding categories: two changes based on your comment:
  • The category overview in the directory is now open by default on desktop instead of hidden behind a collapsed bar. On mobile it stays collapsed to save space.
  • The homepage now has a "Browse by category" section with the 12 biggest categories and the number of services in each, so you can jump straight to e.g. VPN or Wallet.
  • Combined entries like "Exchange, Swap" no longer clutter the list. They are split into single categories, and the filter still finds them.

Design and navigation in general: I don't want to pretend the site is perfect. It grew feature by feature, and first-time visitors don't get a clear starting point. For that I also added an intro section on the homepage that explains in one screen what the site is and where to start. If you have a few minutes, I would really like to know what you would change first: layout of the service cards, the menu structure, colors/contrast, or something else? Screenshots or a link to a site whose navigation you like are very welcome, I'll take them as a reference.

Thanks again for taking the time to write this down.

New on dontkyc.me: Sanctions Radar


Added an interactive world map showing which listed no-KYC services are sanctioned or blocked, and where. Every incident is dated, sourced, and (where applicable) tagged by country — EU sanctions packages auto-merge across all member states.
https://dontkyc.me/sanktionsradar
Feedback and source tips welcome.

dontkyc.me update: trust-score history, before/after comparison on the radar, and a few other things

Quick follow-up on what's changed since the Sanctions Radar announcement a couple weeks ago:

1) Trust-score history on every service page
Each listing now has a "Trust-score history" chart right under the documented incidents (only shown if at least one incident actually affected the score). It's not a separately stored metric - it's reconstructed on the fly from the current trust score and the score impact of each logged incident, summed backwards to find the starting value and plotted forward as a line, color-coded by severity, with a hover tooltip per point (date, title, score effect). Example: Balancer's history shows 9 -> 5 -> 4 -> 4 across its three documented incidents, so you can see at a glance whether a low score is "always been shaky" or "one bad month."

2) Before/after comparison on the Sanctions Radar
The radar map now has a "before/after" block: click 3, 6, or 12 months ago and it shows two small maps side by side - back then vs. today - plus a one-line summary ("Then: X incidents in Y countries. Today: ... Since then: +Z incidents, +W affected countries."). Useful for seeing whether enforcement in a region is trending up or has been flat.

Smaller things since then
  • Every service page now has a short "Is this service legitimate?" section summarizing the trust score in plain language
  • Scam bounty submissions can now optionally include a note on the identity of the person responsible, where that's known and verifiable
  • Login/registration got smarter: live format checking on the private key, a paste button, auto 2FA code field, and live nickname availability on signup
  • Forum: more compact thread/category layout, SVG icons instead of emoji, and a small dot marking what's new since your last visit

As always, feedback and bug reports welcome here or via "Suggest an edit" on any listing.

It's a nice addition, but it'd be better if you could automatically list the changes when someone clicks any of those periods [those tiny maps make it a bit harder to hover over certain countries without zooming in].
- Did I get it right that +Z and +W are supposed to be the keyboard shortcuts for showing the incidents and affected countries? It doesn't seem to do anything.

BTW, the full English translation still doesn't seem to apply to some elements.

Quite a substantial update. The provider verification is a good addition, especially since you clearly separate domain ownership verification from an endorsement of the service.

396 services is also a solid number, although I think the harder part for any directory starts after that: keeping hundreds of listings accurate over time and making sure trust scores remain transparent and understandable rather than becoming just another number on the page.

One thing I’m particularly curious about is the escrow part. You mention fixed transparent wallet addresses where neither you nor either party can unilaterally control the funds. How exactly is that implemented? Multisig? And in case of a dispute, who ultimately participates in deciding where the funds go?

Overall, definitely interesting to watch how this develops.

Thanks for the detailed feedback, taking each point:
 
Auto-listing the changes on click: that's actually already there, you may have just missed it. When you click one of the three period buttons, a summary line appears right below the two mini-maps in the same card ("Back then: X incidents in Y countries. Today: X incidents in Y countries. Since then: +N incidents, +M countries."). If it didn't show up for you, see the translation point below - that's very likely why.
 
+Z / +W keyboard shortcuts: I went back through the code and the live page for this, and there's no keyboard-shortcut feature anywhere on that page (or anywhere else on the site, actually - I checked). I'm not sure where that reference came from. Could you tell me where you saw it mentioned? Happy to add real shortcuts if there's a genuine use case, but right now there's nothing wired up to a key at all.
 
Translation: confirmed and fixed. The entire before/after comparison card - the heading, the three period buttons, the "Today" label, and the auto-generated summary text mentioned above - was hardcoded in German and never went through the site's translation layer, unlike every other label on that page. So switching to English left that whole block stuck in German, which is also almost certainly why the summary you asked about in point 1 looked like it wasn't there - it was rendering, just in the wrong language if you were viewing in English. That's live now.
 
Thanks for taking the time to actually poke at the details, this is the kind of feedback that gets things fixed.

Thanks, glad the verification split read clearly - keeping "domain ownership verified" separate from "we endorse this service" matters a lot to us, and it's an easy thing for people to conflate, so good to hear it landed.
 
You're also right that 396 listings is the easy part. Most of the actual effort at this point goes into the less visible stuff: re-checking existing listings instead of only adding new ones, and tying incident tracking directly into each service's trust score instead of letting it sit in a separate silo, so the score is something you can actually trace back to specific events rather than a static badge.
 
On escrow - good question, and I'd rather give you the accurate answer than the cleaner-sounding one we'd previously used. It's not multisig. It's a single fixed on-chain address per currency that we (the platform) control. The buyer pays into it, confirms receipt, and the release to the seller is an admin-side action - meaning us, not an automated contract and not something either the buyer or seller can trigger alone. So our earlier wording ("neither we nor either party can unilaterally control the funds") overstated it - we can release it unilaterally, the two trading parties individually can't. I've corrected that description on the site to say what it actually does instead of what it was supposed to sound like. Real multisig for the marketplace is in planning so the operator stops being the single point of control, but that's not live yet.
 
If a trade is disputed, it opens a dedicated thread in the forum's dispute category where both sides post their evidence, and moderation makes the call after reviewing it - that decision is binding per the marketplace rules. It's a person looking at both sides, not an algorithm.
 
Appreciate you asking the pointed version of the question instead of taking the one-liner at face value.

dontkyc.me update: browser extension that checks the current site against the directory automatically

Quick one: there's now a browser extension ("dontkyc.me Check") for Chrome and Firefox. It checks whatever page you're currently on against the directory in the background - no need to open the site and search manually before signing up somewhere or sending a payment.

What it does
  • Colors the toolbar icon by trust score if the current domain is listed: green for a high score, amber/orange for a medium one
  • Red warning icon immediately if the domain is on the scam/blacklist - before you've gotten anywhere near sending a payment
  • Click the icon for trust/privacy score, KYC level, and a direct link to the full listing
  • Not listed yet? The popup has a direct "suggest this service" link

Install
Not in the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons yet - that's a separate review process with each store and still pending. For now it's a manual install: download + step-by-step instructions for both browsers here:
https://dontkyc.me/browser-addon?lang=en

What it sends
Only the domain name of the page you're on - no full URL, no page content. It also sends a randomly generated, anonymous ID with no link to an account, so we can get a rough internal count of how many people actually use it. No cookies set, no data shared with third parties. Full writeup on the page above.

Feedback and bug reports welcome here as always, or via "Suggest an edit" on the addon page.

Thank you for the quick fix; I can finally read and understand that part Smiley Wouldn't it be better if a list of incidents and affected countries also appeared beneath that area, rather than just showing the number of incidents and affected countries?


  • +Z / +W keyboard shortcuts: I went back through the code and the live page for this, and there's no keyboard-shortcut feature anywhere on that page (or anywhere else on the site, actually - I checked). I'm not sure where that reference came from. Could you tell me where you saw it mentioned?

    Sure... The update you posted on October 1 mentioned +Z and +W and since these were the only ones with an accompanying plus sign [at that time], I thought they might be keyboard shortcuts for incidents and affected countries, but I was wrong.
