Several hours before being required to verify using government issued documents, I closed my NiceHash account. I made the decision the moment I got an email saying I would eventually have to verify, though it took me a while to do everything I wanted to do before leaving.
I'm tired of having to "prove" my identity and my "liveness" to various services because government crooks are demanding it. I have nothing against NiceHash and was sorry to go, but it was time for me to self-host my stuff and this was as good a time as any to do that and move towards self-sufficiency in this regard.
My node is going to need regular maintenance, but I think I can now move onto other projects with a certain peace of mind. I'll be taking the rest of the day off and figure out what to focus on next.
See y'all tomorrow!
