RE: EOS Now Trading Live on Bitfinex
How do they know if you are American? I am on it and they do not know.
I live in Vietnam and I said I live in Vietnam because I live in Vietnam.
I do not think I am in the USA market and I do not think the markets are limited to physical locations because the internet is not limited to location but is rather omnipresent.
True points. Bitfinex checks your IP address. When you login from USA a window pops up to ask if you are in New York. If you say no, then another window asks if you are US resident. If you say yes, then you are limited to certain features of Bitfinex.
EOS said no Americans purely for legal reasons. But, since the Ethereum auction address is public they have no way to keep Americans out.
