I just saw that Cryptsy wants identification to be verified. Does this mean you have to do so to trade on Cryptsy ? Or, is it still possible to trade with no verification ?
Would be great if you knew, thank you .
Any USA based exchange that deals with the USD will require you to prove who you are IF you decide to trade your cryptos for fiat. If you are planning on alt-alt trades only, you don't have to sign up. And yep, cryptsy will abide the law just like a bank, so if 'underground' is your style, stay away from America.
Cryptsy, Bittrex, Poloniex, Coinbase are all american if you guys didn't know.
EDIT: I used to use https://crypto-trade.com when I was mining UTC way back when, but MT GOX scandal happened and CT held our coins for a week, causing UTC to lose 75% since CT was the main exchange for UTC at the time. Mintpal was just born shortly after. Anyhow, CT is based in Hong Kong and will trade BTC/USD anon last I knew, but I haven't used CT since Feb/Mar. Withdrew my coins and hadn't batted an eye since.
