 I tried to put fake info and it rejected me.  The wallet allowed me to send sats to it before asking for KYC but now I can’t pull them out without giving personal information. 

So GFY primal

 Hey  @alejandro, that doesn't sound right. If you were able to activate the wallet and sends sats to it, the app shouldn't ask you for anything else at a later time. Are you really not able to withdraw? What is the error message you are getting?

 Hi @miljan, I was able to send sats to the wallet prior to activating it. That is a design flaw. 

I can activate it but I need to provide you with my real email address and I refuse to do so. 

I don’t know why I can’t use my own wallet. https://i.nostr.build/ml537.jpg

 Okay, we can help you with this. I'll send you a DM shortly. 

As for your question, KYC is a legal requirement for offering a custodial wallet service; it is not our choice to collect this information.

 For the record. Primal and @miljan solved this problem for me
