Hey everyone. I'm retaking activity on Nostr. It's been some busy months. I am working on a new update of kycnot.me taking all the user feedback I got from the Community Survey.

The server is having issues right now. I'm not home, so when I get there I'll try to fix the issue ASAP. Sorry.

The site experimented some downtime today due to an issue with a database upgrade. It has been resolved.

Should services like relai.app and dfx.swiss be listed on kycnot.me? These services allow users to buy/sell cryptocurrencies for fiat (card/transfer) without KYC under certain limits. However, using a bank account (or card) is considered "soft KYC": While the service doesn't require a formal KYC process, the bank account used for fiat transfers is typically linked to the user's identity. This allows the bank and the provider to potentially identify the user if needed. If listed a warning would be displayed informing the user about this issue. Also, a new attribute for services would be set up to reflect this.

Server provider issues caused a 6-hour downtime for kycnot.me today, it's now functioning normally again.

Four years | KYCnot.me

Celebrating 4 years since kycnot.me had its first commit.

This month is the 4th anniversary of kycnot.me. I wrote this blog post not to celebrate but to remind that, as a community, we must stand up against anti-privacy and anti-freedom regulations.
