With Bitfinex closing doors to US customers, BTC-e does actually have an opportunity to step back in, even with KYC compliance. But it's really going to rub me wrong way if I get back 7 different coins that do not add up to anything near the claimed 55% of my original Bitcoin.
what do you think they mean by KYC? everyone has to send documents? or tiered like kraken or poloniex (example first tier: name, address, email and maybe phone number for limited withdrawals)?
the biggest problem with their proposed distribution is sticking people with novacoin. it's a shitcoin that isn't traded anywhere else, really. no liquidity in that market, nor much for peercoin or namecoin. so people who receive those coins may get really shafted.
