Bad news for those who buy on an exchange as their coins will start to leave a trace.

It's an expected development in this market with more regulations being enforced by authorities. It won't take long before people who don't pay their due taxes to regret having fully verified themselves there. I have even considered once to ask if the exchanges I am verified at offer the possibility to delete my account with all my personal information. I can't seem to find anything in their TOS, so I have to email them for real in the coming days to ask what the options are. I am actually worried, because an exchange can easily be forced to hand over user information with all trading and deposit/withdrawal logs.

Exactly, you are not the only one who have that "fear", but as you know this is only the beginning, with time all of them will require it, what made me doubt if this is good or not :S, anyway i hope that you didn't ask to exchanges like polo to do it, if yes, i'm pretty sure you are still waiting for a reply, like me, for more than 2 months at the moment...
