Topic: IDEX is complying to KYC and other regulations - page 6. (Read 1369 times)
What made them do this? I think they are good for a decentralized exchange and there are no problems or problems with transactions there. Why does this suddenly change? It is unfortunate that Idex is actually no longer a decentralized exchange, because many people really like the freedom of transactions there.
When I saw this news, I didn't know if I should start laughing or crying, decentralised exchanges was made initially to promote anonymous trading but with this KYC that has been added, that has siezed to be the case, I am sure that the volume in Idex would suddenly plummet when it is fully implemented.
if this news become reality, i tink another DEX will do same thing too
so, there is no more privacy on decentralized exchange anymore,
and i'm sure people will choose centralized exchange rather than decentralized exchange if KYC become mandatory on DEX
Actually this is the idiotic idea of IDEX exchange and I believe that this exchange will soon be forgotten in the near future because there will not be anyone who wants to do KYC in decentralized exchanges. I believe that people will tend to move to Forkdelta more in the future and many other decentralized exchanges will soon be released more so this is the biggest mistake of IDEX.
I read the announcement yesterday and I was shocked. I have known idex to be a semi-decentralized exchange but I didn't know it will get to these full centralized qualities. The question that begs for answer remains if cryptocurrency is gradually getting forced into centralization
It is hard to accept for some traders who likely enjoying the service being semi-decentralized exchange. In my own opinion it would be easier for them not to accept regulations for the dignity of the members in the community.

This moves that IDEX has done place the exchange being centralized as they are requiring KYC and not the same with other dex where you can deal and trade without compromising your personal information, if they've been force for business securities we don't have any other options but to comply if we do wanted to use their platform.
There are still so many decentralized exchanges that are yet to demand for KYC and of which I am not surprised about that, because IDEX already mentioned it a long time ago. Also what is the assurance that those taking the advantage will not also make such demand in future.
Here is the source on what i said about DDEX - https://ddex.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004488814-User-Agreement - 3rd paragraph
This has been known for a while that IDEX will be requiring KYC. Their verification is even worst than known centralized exchanges. I mean submitting name, birthday, and country for a $5,000 limit (tier 1) is just absurd. With this change, I think DDEX will take over as the top DEX.
I’m with you regarding ddex, the exchange is building up its massive growth
And is becoming a Fotress because tokens listed on ddex Tend to reach a increase I price which it were
Unlike sef asking for kyc, ddex Platform is fully decentralized
It is really disappointing that a top decentralized exchange like Idex will make such move. Well, it totally means that, it's the end of anonymity with Idex while giving other DEX the power to enhance their services thus taking over from Idex. One thing I love about this space is, when one platform goes down or goes against what users want, another is at the corner to take over.
A better platform will always be created and rise from the market. So it is only up to the user which one they will patronize and utilize according to their needs and requirements at that time. So even if these previously DEX are now requiring KYC protocol, it is still up to the user if he will continue to use that or find a better deal from other exchanges.

Not a good news to hear. I am an avid IDEX user and if this is true then i think it would be the end of Idex. Fast and anonymous are the properties of an exchange that users are looking for and Idex have that.
Guys check SwitchDex first, mess around with the site and research their goals. I believe this could be the one to replace IDEX.
For the people saying DDEX i did some research and in their FAQ they do say that can actually collect your info and store it in case you break their rules. A real dex won't do this.

By doing so means Idex is no longer a decentralized exchange as simple as that and they should wait for the end result which will be bad of course. The main reason users, investors or traders use Idex is because of its decentralized nature and since they can't offer it any longer means that it's better to check other decentralized exchanges. It's sad they took this step.
They not dex any more. Such a shame they looked like they would stay that way. Now they a CEX exchange.
But they are not ridicuous like other exchanges that want KYC event to trade dust

Tier 1 Verification — After creating an account with a valid email address, you will be asked to provide your name, date of birth and country. Once the information is submitted, verification is instant, and you will be approved for unlimited trades and withdrawals of up to $5,000 USD per day.
Tier 2 Verification — For users who want to withdraw more than $5,000 USD per day, you will be asked to provide your address, a passport (or other approved ID), and a selfie. Once the information is submitted, verification can take as little as 30 seconds, and then you will be approved for unlimited trades and unlimited withdrawals.
Only people moving more then 5k usd a day must do full KYC, this is fair and makes sense.
I complain. I don't give my KYC to anyone. Not every country abides by us law so not everyone has to follow FATF.

I think you should not be upset,because FATF everyone will obey listen,even decentralized exchanges. I had expected that a similar situation should occur.On the other hand, we all pass KYC on other exchanges and do not complain!

I've heard of the news before and after reading some of the opinions before their switch. It's said that they are semi-centralized and I've known that while using them.
People will start looking for a nicer DEX at these times, there's still plenty of them.

every exchage is trying to pleased regulators in other to retain their exchange in the space but the aim of this main space in not been followed anymore which is at very risky and putting people back in to government hand in other to check and balance laundering in the system but when we talk about DEX then i think the client need some privacy .

This is ridiculous, so it's not decentralized exchange anymore. I don't know why they made such a request
Why will a decentralized exchange be demanding for KYC, it is weird so to say, The decentralized exchange that I have known only require your private keys, keystore file and mnemonic to be able to trade. I do not see an exchange that requires email and password for singing up as being decentralized
