Paper wallet:

You don't have to do anything. However, if you want to restore a wallet after the scheduled network upgrade, you need to use the new v0.15 software.

All the other upgrades have been successful so there is no reason this one won't be as well.

Talking about "Korea banning anon crypto". I won't name exchange, so it won't look like adv, but there is s. Korea exchange (with coingecko reported 24 h volume of more than $10 M, and that after taking possible fake volume into account, and more $100 M 24 h raw volume) that list anon (cryptonote) coins like crazy in last weeks. Sometimes it is literally one new anon coin a day.

So news about Korea banning anon coins might be a little exaggerated.

Pasting my reddit comment:

---

The FATF guidance does not even prevent privacy coins from being listed on an exchange, as long as the exchange enforces KYC/AML for the users. I ascribe the recent events to an overzealous and erroneous interpretation of the guidance by the compliance department of the exchange in question. It further should be noted that, for instance, Binance and Kraken still cater to Korean users. Additionally, see a relevant comment of mine below:

My response to the following article: OKEx Korea delisting all privacy coins, including Monero, Zcash and Dash, as these ‘violate’ FATF’s 'travel rule' - The Block

I don't think this is the case actually. As long as they enforce KYC/AML for each account, they should be able to tie deposits and withdrawals to a certain person. In addition, they can send this information to another service (which is essentially what the travel rule is about) in case a direct withdrawal (i.e. a withdrawal to another service) is made.

People should also bear in mind that FATF merely makes recommendations:


The U.S. based exchanges will most likely follow FinCEN's guidance


Which was positive for privacy coins:

EDIT: To add a few more things:

[1] Monero is private by default and optionally transparent. There are plenty of tools available in Monero that allow one to be compliant with an auditor.

[2] Tari Labs is working on an open source framework for listing Monero.

[3] CoinCenter confirmed in the MoneroKon regulatory panel that almost all exchanges are already mostly compliant with the FATF guidance (because they enforce KYC/AML for each user).

[4] Monero is listed on a lot of U.S. based regulated exchages, services, and OTC desks. I made an overview here:

[5] This only concerns *Korean* users of OKEx.

This subject was also extensively discussed in yesterday's Monero Coffee Chat. I highly recommend watching it:

Monero and Dash are decentralized cryptocurrencies. Why Monero is better then Dash?

But guys, what's new with Monero? Fork and switch to a new algorithm in the coming months. Dash has a lot of technical solutions (which I don’t understand), if you go to our roadmap, you can see all of their developments.
Monero is more decentralized and anonymous. Dash is more technical.
