Was the DNS server issue restricted to bitcoin websites? That seems to be fishy.
The positives from this are that the government will know the negative reaction that they will face in case they try to block bitcoin-related sites.

Wasn't that the country with the ultra high inflation? Guess it could be seen as a honour to bitcoin when the government sees bitcoin as a threat and tries to block it. Cheesy
