Hey, i love what youve built and i use it. It just bothers me the realization that all newbies that come into bitcoin are shown an easy, convenient, KYC method of purchasing it.

This should not be the default.

If strike could offer a non KYC exchange, that would be the killer feature

I agree, but unfortunately it would get shut down and i’d go to jail.

if there is a way we can do it, i’m in

I’d go to jail for it Jack, hire someone who will take the fall and let’s get this thing done.

it’s less about a fall guy going to jail. the service would get shut down as well, so we wouldn’t achieve anything

Another idea: you sell a license to your software stack and a completely separate entity runs a no-KYC strike.

You guys do great work, incredibly hard problem to solve. But I’m sure you agree that the KYC has become beyond ridiculous and we need to find a solution.

Stick with your current path. If you build it, they will come. Don't fight government, just prove to the people that the system works, and the voters will destroy any government that tries to get in your way.

I know. You in jail would not help at all lol.

I meant not to build it within Strike the company, but I was thinking whether it’s possible to use part of the infrastructure you’ve built, open source it, and create an aggregator P2P marketplace that unites forces with things like Bisq, Robosats, HodlHodl or now I’m reading about Nostro

We don’t need individual, disconnected P2P markets. We need the power of network effects. A buyer should not care whether the seller has created an offer in market X or in market Y.

But I’m not a dev, I don’t know if that’s feasible or not

Use bisq or robosats.

I use Bisq but liquidity, at least in Europe for €, is ridiculously low
