The solution is rather simple, steer clear from any mining pool that is based in the U.S if you don't want to be KYCed. it's crazy that in a country that is known to be the land of the free, you have all the rules and regulations that would strip you of your rights to privacy under the illusion of fighting "money laundry and terrorism funding".

Agree but as you know the problem will spread slowly but surely.
The same will soon apply to pools based in the European Union. It seems that when the Mica law comes into application, a KYC will be required for mining activities in EU. European users of Nicehash (based in Slovenia) could soon or later have a bad surprise when logging in...

I wonder how long it will take for the U.S. to force every U.S. miner to use a U.S.-based mining pool.?

I guess as soon as they will start to claim that mining in a foreign pool is a form of tax evasion. Cheesy
