Taylan,
First, the new process is not automated. Automation refers to a lack of human interaction necessary to facilitate a programatic process. I have had to engage in considerable interaction with you - as required by your verification process - in the past week and still, you refuse to verify Choice Coin. There is no software or website where I can submit Choice Coin information to verify the asset with PeraWallet, which is a problem because it is not automated.
On Ethereum, the process is actually automated and it’s also decentralized because anyone can simply fill out an online form with important information about the project to verify the asset. In fact, we had no problem getting Choice Coin verified on Ethereum without any long email threads or forum requests. You should absolutely automate the verification process and follow the Ethereum model because the model you are using is fundamentally flawed, subjecting you, PeraWallet, and Hippo Labs to unnecessary liability.
Second, I am not asking for special treatment. I am asking that you return the verification to Choice that you wrongly revoked. You should not revoke verification from assets and then demand they spend significant resources to fulfill new and arbitrary requirements. Again, if you can at will remove our verification after we spent considerable time and effort going through the process the first time, then there isn’t any mechanism preventing you from doing it again. By definition that is a system of arbitrary rule, and not one in which I wish to participate.
Third, I have no desire to continue with the verification process for Choice Coin. However, other members of the Choice Coin community constantly complain that you removed our verification. Yet, they are not able to submit information for verification, which is a fundemental problem because Choice is decentralized. Other members participating in the Choice Coin network should have an avenue to get the asset verified without me, especially since the creator address is now de facto empty.
You and your team have not provided any help in the verification process and you aren’t even doing basic due diligence in researching projects. Moreover, you and your team have clearly failed to implement a sensible verification policy as evidenced by the fact that you are knowingly validating projects committing fraud, such as Angels of Ares and Moist Grannies. In fact, you are only verifying asset creators and their associated domains, which allows for fraudsters to slip through because you are not verifying actual use, legal compliance, or software development.
In short, the process is arbitrary and unprofessional. You have the ability and knowledge necessary to return Choice Coin’s verification and still refuse to do so, which has an adverse impact on the project and on Algorand. Additionally, I’ve worked hard to make substantial information available to you for purposes of verification.

If you want help replacing your current centralized and manual verification process with an automated and decentralized process, please feel free to reach out. In the meantime, you should implement a sound verification policy, do your due diligence in research, and return Choice Coin’s asset verification.
