I talked to the owner last night for almost an hour about his exchange and his plans for it. I personally think that he should have a real contact person, however, I do not distrust him for using a domain handler proxy. I personally use one myself, as you will see if you run a WHOIS lookup on inceptioncraft.net. Like an exchange, I also handle coins through the pool and the faucet, but I am apparently trustworthy enough to contribute code, run two nodes, run a pool, faucet, block explorer, and create and hold the private keys for sending alerts. Additionally, the AllCrypt owner told me he is "strongly considering" creating a LLC for AllCrypt. Please give the exchange a fair chance, and not immediately call someone untrustworthy for wanting to protect their identity. There are legitimate reasons for someone to do this, and I have not seen any red flags that make me think they are untrustworthy.
Running an exchange is much more liability than a pool. How much coins does your pool generate in a day? How much coins are deposited on e. g. poloniex?
You are providing a service to people, they have the right to know who they are dealing with. This is not some "I'm protecting my identity" stuff, this is about protecting the customers' rights. If allcrypt would be free - no doubt this would be no problem. But you PAY for the service with FEEs. Would you buy your next TV from an online shop you don't know anything about (no contact, no company, no domain name handler info)? I wouldn't even create an account on such a shop site.
I totally agree...I hate having to leave my details on ANY website..
