I'm just a regular user following this project for a while and I think I can answer a few questions.
Awesome. When is the mainnet due? What are the trading pairs that are going to be on NEXT Exchange?
The team said the mainnet will be launched in April. So unless they decide to postpone it, I think it'll be ready at the end of the month. Regarding to the pairs: currently each asset is paired with BTC, ETH, NEXT, EUR and USD. They'll add other fiat options like GBP and JPY later, but I'm not entirely sure if those will also be basic trading pairs. I think it makes sense that they will.
Hello.
Is KYC mandatory, or we can withdraw some amount 1-2 BTC without KYC verification?
The team had an AMA session recently on Reddit. There's a transcript of it on
Medium. As far as I understand from the AMA, KYC is required for FIAT operations. They have a table categorizing different user classes. Although the table is not final, if I understand it correctly, you can see that they allow withdrawal worth of €1000 per day and €10000 per month.
exchange running on masternodes network? sounds unusual. Let's see. Would be nice to see also some rules and restrictions, like if there is a country permission, do you need to pass validation before deposit/withdraw, etc.
The exchange isn't going to run on the masternode network. The Next blockchain, which is a combination of PoW and PoS will be the backbone of the exchange. Although I'm not aware how they are technically going to implement it, I'm aware that they are going to record each trade on their own blockchain.
I am aware of a few rules regarding to the masternodes, but beware that these rules could be adjusted/changed at a later period, so don't rely on my post.
-KYC is required for running a masternode
-1 masternode per person
-Some countries are indeed restricted. I don't have a list though.
-The network will be capped at 100 masternodes (This is one of the things that can change, so don't see it as a never changing fact! 100 masternodes currently make sense because of the low circulating supply of ~3.8M Next. That's like two-third of the circulating supply)
