That only makes it more difficult for the average Joe to get BTC but smarter Russians know how to get around those difficulties.
Indeed, but we want to attract the average joes as well.. at least eventually.

No that won't stop or shutdown bitcoin network entirely. Bitcoiners can still exchange bitcoin with one another and use it for payment as long as it is among individuals. That's barely a hiccup.
Russia is like the DARK WORLD of bitcoin. You are never quite sure what you will get from her. They always keep the bitcoin community over there with these bans.
A gas station with a midget in a rusty tank bans bitcoin.....
I'm scared
I'm scared
actually they have pretty good tanks, operated by the Russian bears, running on cheap oil now which is crippling their economy.

they should ban their own currency, which is used for drug and other crap more than bitcoin, in their country at least
..and here some Americans are complaining about the U.S. government and our 'regulations.' lol.
Putin is ruthless. And if it's one guy you never want to mess with...it's him.

the major Russian ISPs are blocking these sites, so no1 inside Russia can access them now.
As far as the hosting at other countries, yes that is possible, but the ISP can again block these sites from accessing from Russia.
I mean look at the internet censorship in China for example.. it is pretty much easy to block anything you want if you are the Gov.

That some pure shit if you ask me too mate ... but at least & at least (that's the only good side I see on what they did) they didn't ban the whole BTC network , I mean people in Russia still can send & receive/buy & sell their Bitcoins even if not from exchangers but from regular people like here in btc talk for example . Other then that .. yes they screwed up badly
exactly... but my main worry is the Russian Gov. won't stop just there, but will expand the ban to all the cryptocurrencies and block all the other major bitcoin/crypto sites...
I mean i would not be surprised at some point they block bitcointalk.org too sheeesh... :/
How they are banning them exactly anyway ? simply get their host website informations and contact the host providers to shut it down ?
Couldn't someone just buy a host outside Russia and start his own website , no one will know anything about it unless they are spying in people
Unless those exchange websites etc .. have official offices their on Russia then this is another story .

First off i apologize if this was already posted somewhere else ( there is so many topics and I did try to search for this already ).
I just read that Russia has blocked several major bitcoin sites and plans on introducing fines to users and business if found they are (now) illegally "mining, or issuing Bitcoin or other digital currencies.” Source Russia Blocks Several Bitcoin Websites
this is bunch of BS if you ask me. What is next? Do we see other European countries following this lead, or is it just another attempt by the Russian Gov. to control the financial system in their "righteous fight against the West"?
