BTW anyone completed address validation process? I am still having issues.
Do they require address validation? AFAIK they only require ID verification.

Yes they need it based on their new terms and policies and for me it needs to be completed before Sep to continue using it and I guess it differs from based on your country.
I think it's general.
Local bitcoins has been tightening its rules on verification perhaps due to pressure from different government.
It was very easy to launder month with tier 0 verification. All one had to do was create a dozen accounts and then trade.

Wait, so now everyone on LBC has to undergo KYC verification before they can trade?

What's even the point in P2P anymore with these rules and regulations. Damn.
Too bad all the decentralized alternatives are so bad, and paxful is also catching up on these AML laws..  Undecided
