Anonymity in P2P markets – Tips to maintain your privacy

Anonimato mercados P2P CCoins

Anonymity is one of the main advantages of the P2P Cryptocurrency exchange, however this important point for some can also be a challenge, especially when the platform does not ensure complete anonymity. In this article, the best practices for maintaining privacy and anonymity in P2P Cryptocurrency exchanges will be discussed and why not all platforms ensure 100% user anonymity.

The first thing that every user wants to avoid when entering an online platform is that their personal information is revealed, or at least when it comes to financial platforms. Nobody would like their economic and personal information to be visible to everyone, whether it is to maintain their safety or that of their family.

This is why Cryptocurrency trading platforms always seek to keep the data of their users as protected as possible and prevent their information from leaving said platform, however if it is necessary for a user to provide certain personal information to give guarantees that they do not is a malicious agent and is reported anywhere in the world for illegal economic activities.

 

The P2P Cryptocurrency Market and Anonymity

Perhaps everyone already knows that when entering most P2P Crypto platforms it is necessary to carry out two processes before being part of said merchant community, these processes are “Registration and identity verification”, in the first we will have to give basic information such as an email or the creation of a password, on the contrary, in the second step the system will request slightly more personal information, such as the name and surname, the identity document number, country of residence, and the elaboration of a face test in real time.

And perhaps many will wonder, why is it necessary to give so much information? And it is very normal for them to be surprised, since this type of documentation is almost at the level of a bank procedure, however it is totally necessary, since with said information it is sought that a user can be anonymous within the platform without worrying that another user who is also anonymous can cheat you in a transaction.

This identity verification system serves as a wall or warning for those users who want to enter the platform with negative intentions.

 

Why is a P2P platform not completely anonymous?

Something that should be clear to all users of a P2P Cryptocurrency platform is that these platforms are not 100% anonymous, that is, it is not that they go around publishing user information, but rather, due to their nature, in the method of trading. There may be moments where information such as the user’s real name is revealed.

But perhaps many think that this is a bad thing and should not be allowed, however, this is done on purpose, and it is that in most, not to say, in all P2P markets, payments made by third parties are prohibited, because thanks to these, certain scam schemes can be carried out and no platform wants this to happen, which is why at the time of making a transaction some systems ask their users to register their payment information (bank account number, type of account, owner of the account) in this way both buyer and seller will be able to show that the payment was made by the user and not by a third party.

Let’s remember that despite the fact that it is shown that it is not 100% anonymous, not all payment methods require the name of the person, which is why there are platforms such as Ccoins, that allows the user to register a payment method and later verify that information, in this way it is not necessary that data such as the name of a user can be exposed.

  • If your platform allows you to create a biographical or informative text about yourself, avoid leaving personal information there.
