There should be a market for people willing to do this for a fee. I just don't know where to find it. It'd be easy to put the face on anyone willing to take the call on dark documents.

Perhaps someone on this forum knows people who can be hired to take such call in place of the account holder?

Does anyone have any creative idea on to bypass the Facial Info step of Binance? Has anyone tried to convince support to open the account without this verification?

@MrJonesy Did you research several forex brokers to come up with this structure? I'd be interested to know what brokers accept which jurisdiction and their requirements. Have you looked into SimpleFX?

If you're worried about browser fingerprinting or any other leaks based on your hardware, lookup Whonix. At the very least, use all free software including your OS. Ideally, also use a free firmware like Libreboot. If using a VPN, find one that does not keep logs, and validate their claim from...

If you actively trade crypto, there are benefits in creating a Seychelles corp. You can open a corporate Kraken account and fund it with Monero. This would give you a good platform to trade without having to worry about reporting capital gains. But you can accomplish the same using decentralized...

Distributed Autonomous Organization (DAOs) are becoming a thing. A few projects have raised eight figure dollar amounts to build platforms that create and manage all aspects of these distributed organizations. I know first hand that these projects aren't scams. They're spending their funds...

Using own picture seems incredibly risky. Have you tried Amazon Rekognition? I wouln't be comfortable leaking my face especially as this technology will inevitably mature. Wouldn't the approach you suggest be secure only if you can find someone else to pass the video verification? Are you aware...

@darkster Correct me if I'm wrong but trading with an offshore company where the US person is the director would have tax deferral benefits. It would be similar to trading stocks from a 401K where taxes are paid on the income derived from it, not on the capital gain of each trade.

You're unlikely to find any buyer for modalities that do charge backs (e.g. credit card). Bisq has fiat modalities. Otherwise, localbitcoins or bitcoin-otc on freenode.

I'm considering forming a Seychelles IBC for an e-commerce business. Under what circumstances does electing director and shareholder nominees becomes mandatory? Without nominees, do directors and shareholders appear in a public registry of companies or does Seychelles keep this information...

Yes, I decided on a Seychelles IBC without any special license.

My research indicates that there is a Dealer License in Seychelles. However, I'm not certain that my company needs it. Does anyone have experience with running a crypto exchange with a CSL license? @clemens I haven't asked any CSP yet. I'm asking here first. If you have experience with some of...

I am considering pursuing a dealer license in Seychelles to establish a cryptocurrency exchange. The sort of crypto-assets traded on the exchange may be considered securities (under American laws for example). I would love to chat with anyone who has experience obtaining such license.

I don't need to convert crypto to fiat. I can purchase DAI or another stablecoin if needed. Although the liquidity is currently limited, I can invest in traditional financial instruments by proxy using crypto derivatives. Bitmex is highly liquid as far as crypto markets go, you can go back to...
