Cool project, great work for a Chat GPT job! I am wondering how you are classifying these?

Anonymous - Fully anonymous, no KYC.
Low - Rarely initiates KYC.
Medium - User occasionally goes through KYC.
High - KYC checks quite often.

I'd be careful with these classifications as, for example, fixedfloat is showing as fully anonymous, no KYC. They used to be known for this, however they were removed from kycnot.me after this scandal and a variety of other scandals were also discussed in this reddit thread.

At a minimum, you may want to put a disclaimer just to ensure that you aren't liable for any of the labeling. Otherwise, nice work on this app, bookmarked!

Thanks for the feedback. I generally took the KYC information from https://swapspace.co/reviews but not only, because when creating my list on github https://github.com/h0ek/crypto-swap I analysed each provider and read their privacy policy and whether they have kyc/aml.
And of course partially on my experience. I could always make a mistake, but also suppliers can make changes to their policies and I verify this rarely either as someone brings it to my attention or once in a while I verify it myself by looking to see if anything has changed. I know the FixedFloat case, I followed it because fixedfloat used to be my favorite exchanger. Some time fixedfloat was in maintenance mode after these incidents, then they rebooted and it's been good ever since. I have exchanged small and large amounts with them and everything works as it should. Of course, we (as a community) can't forget what happened a few years ago, but I also can't cross someone off for the mistakes of the past. I try to approach it from a distance. It was all on Reddit and forums and FixedFloat stuff always provided some explanations, they didn't disappear. I don't want to sound like a man in a tin foil hat, and I've also seen myself that the site was offline and then in maintenance mode for a long time, but I also don't know if anyone seriously lost crypto or if they were all eventually returned. A lot of unknowns. If you run a crypto site where there is no KYC/AML then if it becomes too popular or someone uses it to launder stolen crypto then sooner or later there will be agents with questions at your door, maybe that's what happened.

I will definitely add a disclaimer in the next update, good point, thank you.

I do agree, they are a great platform and it is a shame that they had those hiccups during those periods, though it is tough to say what their status is now (and tough to say they are 100% anonymous with no KYC). Either way, their position shouldn't be your priority until someone lets you know otherwise, disclaimer is the best way to go to cover yourself! Glad I could help
