From Kraken. This is so shite:

Wallet Verification for deposits from private wallets: If your private wallet deposit or withdrawal exceeds €1,000 in value, or if you’re using a new wallet address, you’ll be prompted to verify your wallet ownership.

Future Ease: Once a wallet is verified, future transactions with that same address won’t need further verification.

Seamless Verification Options

We’ve made the verification process straightforward and secure through one of two methods:

Self-Certification: Verify ownership with a simple one-click process and a quick 2FA security check.

Satoshi Test: Send a small transaction from your wallet to confirm ownership. We’ll guide you every step of the way.

Ooffff walls are closing in

Probably the kick I needed for p2p because I’m not reusing addresses and going through that whole rigmarole each time. Lightning would help but might be best to go straight to p2p

That’s so you can’t say you transferred it to the wrong address when Revenue comes knocking looking for the tax on your unrealised gains.

Unrealised gains tax and I’m gone ✈️
