🦖 I suggest Deribit find a better outsourcing provider. I received an email from Deribit yesterday. The body of the email contained only two sentences, which translate to: 1. You did not log in to our website without a VPN. 2. If you do not use a VPN, we cannot complete your KYC verification. In short: Completely self-contradictory. If I had to add one more thing: Double negatives are a killer. It's not like you have to use double negatives to sound sophisticated. Seeing this kind of English late at night is infuriating and keeps me up all night. If IELTS essays were written like this, I doubt I could go to any Commonwealth country. A perfectly good crypto asset trading platform has been tainted by the corporate problems of Coinbase; it's truly disastrous.

Grok suggested I (with conviction) ask the other party whether or not they wanted a VPN. I felt that would be blatantly humiliating them, which was inappropriate. I'll send them the IP address along with the VPN for verification later.
