Poloniex now requires verification to trade or withdraw

[wry]

I don't know how many of you are alt coin traders, but if you trade on Poloniex they now require verification to trade or withdraw your coins.

You can read the press release here:  https://www.poloniex.com/press-releases/2018.05.27-Customer-Onboarding-and-Identity-Verification/

They had announced at the end of last year that this would be coming: https://www.poloniex.com/press-releases/2017.12.27-Notice-to-legacy-account-holders/

While I understand the need to comply with US Law I do hope we'll see the rise of some decentralized exchanges in the near future.
