Wowsers...Can anybody state what this means for onion owners from those countries, and any potential long term impacts this may have on Onion as a currency? I'm here and I'm not going anywhere, but that sounds pretty freakin crazy for those it potentially affects.
Russia is banning all vpns as well as tor and other proxies. This means they won't be able to use the official wallet, but it doesn't stop them from trading via nova exchange or other methods. Perhaps an escrow service like the one on the official DO forum will also help them.
Maybe someone can create a non-tor version of deeponion, this should be totally possible as it is just the transport layer. Then it needs a node that is tor and non tor to sync between the two
