Not to detract from the project itself, but neither this HN post or the GitHub repo ever define any of the initialisms in use. Being slightly unfamiliar with what KYC/KYB even stand for, I had to guess and search all around the docs for clues that my guess was correct. Might be worthwhile to add a single expansion somewhere.

Thanks, yeah you’re right, we’ll add it to our GitHub readme page. And for the rest, I’ll just add here that KYC/B stands for “Know your customer/business” and it is common in the onboarding process of financial services, healthcare, gambling, education, etc. in which a company is gathering information/documents and verifying who they give service to.

KYC is such a recognized term that it has surpassed its spelled out meaning, like radar or CAPTCHA.

I didn't know what KYC meant until I worked in fintech.

Yeah, we can't have people trying to learn here, this is a site for hackers! (\s)
