I just don't like how shady it was, it took everyone by surprise, I think it would've been better if they announced it before they started implementing it.
I think it would have been better if they announced it during the ICO clearly written in the white paper.
Unfortunately I missed to read this in official whitepaper can you help us to find where it has been written in details. This will be really helpful for the community to stop complaining about that implementation of KYC.
I am pretty sure it is not in original whitepaper. But I see no reason for devs not to adapt to reality of wide adoption. Especially if it brings profit to investors by increasing coin price and value. I have said it before, if one is not laundering money or doing something illegal, regulation is not a bad thing.
That said, ETN dev better have a good data protection plan in place. They are responsible for data protection as I am sure they must be well aware of.
