I'm not sure if I have ever talked about this here, but about 10 years ago I had major brain surgery to remove a tumor (vestibular schwannoma, in the left auditory canal) that I developed as a result of exposure to large amounts of radiation during my years of military service.  The operation destroyed cranial nerves 7 and 8, around which the tumor had grown, leaving me deaf in my left ear and totally paralyzed on the left side of my face.  I cannot even close my left eye.  This presents a unique problem for me when it comes to KYC verifications.

   You've probably had to deal with some of these if you are a trader.  Today, I have spent approximately 8 hours in chat with MathWallet admins attempting to get my account verified.  I use the wallet for its OP_RETURN function, which I need to hold assets other than PCX on ChainX.org.  The problem I encounter is, of course, with facial recognition software.  MathWallet wants me to "wink my eyes" which I cannot do, and if I do manage to get past that, I am asked to "open my mouth," which I can do, but the expression is lopsided because the left side of my lips do not move.  I look like Two-Face (from Batman).  As hilarious as this looks, it does not satisfy the facial recognition program, which unfortunately does not have a sense of humor.

   MathWallet isn't the first app I've had this issue with and I expect it will not be the last, so now I have to be extraordinarily selective in the exchanges and wallets I use.  Another problem is that most of the ones that don't use KYC are not available to US citizens, one of which I happen to be.  So, if anyone out there knows of a good exchange or wallet app available in the US that does not require KYC verification, please let me know in the comments.  My own searches have not borne much fruit.
