I wouldn’t fear. I am sure the ETN will have something in place to help Yoti accept more forms of ID.
Great, Yoti doesn’t accept Czech rep. (International) driving licence. Only passport at this moment.
I use my driving licence to verification on all exchanges without problem and Yoti doesn’t accept it?!

Don’t stress too hard, I’m expecting the ETN team to be working with Yoti to address this issues. A big reason for having a soft launch is to suss out these problems (which may not have been apparent on paper).

Also a note you need a front facing camera to do the ID scan otherwise there is no other way to do that too. So if you’ve got cheap phone with no front facing camera you’ll be limited on the ID verification. You can’t send in documents manually either.
You can’t take a picture from the rear camera and upload that? That would be a strange oversight by Yoti.

Nope, I emailed support and a front facing camera is required in order to do the scan. They need more ways to upload ID for people. It’s unusual to say the least, that should definitely be an option for users.

With all this talk of KYC, I’m getting hungry. Bucket o’chicken anyone?

Can you ever truly trust personal data security online…?
So if they get hacked and our data is sold - we all get penis and breast enlargement spam emails for the next 12 months - I guess there are bigger worries than that in crypto.
I don’t know anything about yoti currently, I just hope they have excellent security.
This is all just a setup to tax us on our not so secret crypto - I know it’s not ETNs decision, they have to jump through those bureaucracy hoops too - and it does make ETN attractive to the big player deals we hope for in the future.
I will reluctantly join the KYC
You make a fair point. And my honest answer would be NO, i guess you cant.
Brittish Airways just released information that their customers data was breached last week. And if a company of the size and stature of BA can get it wrong, then i guess anyone can.
Go back 20 years and the only people who were using the internet were seen as nerds. We are living in an increasingly digital age where everything now works online. Our online data is always at risk, and all we can do is be diligent in who we share it with. Cant wait to get those emails you were talking about though, i can put them in my “to be considdered” folder along with the blue pills emails and the ones about my long lost relative from Zimbabwe who left me 10 million Dollars.
on a serous note though, my Diligence was based on me trusting ETN and ETN trusting Yoti.
Most of us have online banking, paypal, facebook, use gambline sites (not me) , book aeroplane tickets… the list goes on. All of these services require varying degrees of KYC and we the users have to place trust on those whom we do business with.

My guess would be that this is an intentional design which would direct people towards taking the picture first - the benefit being while not mid transaction, the user can take more time and will be more likely to choose and use a clear un-blurry picture.
My passport uploads are rejected on yoti app all the yet they can’t accept any other ID. What do I do? I also can’t import from yoti to my.electroneum.com because it keeps telling me no network connection try again later.
no it won’t be closed.
