Avoiding the KYC procedure when investing through "dark" pools is for you a plus (provides anonymity and saves time) or a minus (more risks, harm for ICO, illegal status)?
Well, I think that when a project asks for KYC procedure (especially regarding large investments) - that's good and shows that they're very serious and responsible.
But for people who actually invest (and thus have to pass KYC) - that's another headache - as not many people are willing to share their passports' data, bills info and etc
Usually, projects who required KYC are those who bullish by the investors. Most of the time, investors who invested in a project complained about these procedures specially if the investor don't want to give his identity. Some people have afraid and disgusted about KYC but for me, implementing pf KYC procedure is healthy for the project and investors. It can help to avoid such crimes that the investors involved. We can assure also that our money is safe because the team and developers are serious in their project.
