The brilliance of your words shines bright. You must truly be an outstandingly happy and intelligent being.

I believe it is wrong, too. That is why I try to bring it to your attention. Just like people from Iran use a proxy to not run into theirs or our blocking, you can use a proxy to see the internet through their eyes.

My experiences might be outdated and I can't find a proxy that works right now. Feel free to verify if you can use github and sourceforge if you have your proxy set such that you get some strange Farsi link list for facebook or blogspot.

Yes, some companies might be bound by law to block connections from Iran but I doubt that this is a general problem as so many other US-based sites are still reachable.

Here is the American way! Congrat dude! (sarcastically)

why would i care if people who have nothing i want and dont speak any language i speak use bitcoin or not? if iran suddenly vanished i probably wouldnt even notice.

In my point of view, USA is much more evil than any other countries.

Try to spin it trough other countries. Can Iran make businesses with China?

According to the TV, Iran is the devil.

I am surprised you are allowed to be on this website.

I call for a ban!

There are international sanctions against Iran. Those apply to you and bitcoin as well as nations and there fiat money.

Another way for Iranians to acquire bitcoins would be to mine them yourselves.

That, or as you said sell some sort of products online.

You must have something in Iran, that doesn't weigh too much and can be legally exported, and would be of interest to foreigners...

All I know that we import from Iran is dates tho

I totally agree with this! Bitcoin needs more platforms to spreads all over the world

scourcforge plays politics and puts an embargo on the people of Iran??
Why? Thats wrong.

Hi,

I've been posting about bitcoin in Iran before.

It's really a pain to even download the standard client as sourceforge denies requests from Iran (This is not the Mullahs being bad, this is sourceforge embargo of Bitcoin users (aka "us") in Iran. Many other sides enforce the embargo for open source, too).

It is a pain to get informed as 99% (really 99%) of the people there don't know any English so all the basic information should be translated to reach out to such countries.
There should be need as the inflation is horrible there.
There are no exchanges for IRR obviously.

Is there a project already of any kind that lists our reach for regions and languages? Like a checklist per country of availability of local(ized):
information (like bitcoin.org or this forum)
client (web, full node, mobile)
exchange (local, doing business in the local currency or being reachable through local payment providers)
BTC business (locals actually running some kind of btc business)
...

I know that at traviangames.com the huge success came with internationalization. The game was available in German and English and those markets were totally saturated with games. The Arab version rocked though as there was not much of competition. I could imagine that the western world is pretty saturated with financial online services, too and reaching out to more exotic languages could boost bitcoin.

Lastly to get BTC to for example Iran there needs to be something to sell from these countries. IRR are not really useful for anything outside of Iran so Iran would have to export something else in exchange for in-flowing BTC. I can only encourage all of us to keep mentioning bitcoin to all that want to sell stuff online. I told Mohammad Rafigh about this new way to sell his music outside of Iran and he's trying it out now via coinDL. I love this album and hope for more soon and I'm sure if it works for him, he will spread the word and people like him wanting to get fiat for their BTC will try to sell locally, … well … you know what I'm trying to say. Stop getting too excited about yet another clone of an existing service opening up for explored territories and reach out for the white spots of bitcoin-land instead!
