Topic: RUSSIA BLOCKS TELEGRAM -> BAD FOR ICOS? (Read 305 times)
People have the ability to quickly adapt to new conditions and avoid all barriers! I think this prohibition will not become an excuse. I believe that cryptology will not suffer from the fact that the Russian authorities block IP addresses!
I don't think it will have much effect. They can use some VPN or proxies and access the Telegram app anyway if they need to. Those that know this workaround at least. But as I always say, the market itself will show over time, if it was influenced by this bad news. It is still holding its own for the past 2 months after all those bad news and we are slowly crawling out of bearish time.
Exactly. They have much opportunities for secure enter. It not exist government global firewall. But any can make own vpn+proxy. this is a nice move for them in order to reduces more and more frauds, i believe most of the fraud people and scammers are base on that countires. And since this is another country which is potentially a crypto haven i believe more people with band intention will be taking advantage about the hype of industry. I suggest you'll be aware of their modus operandi nowadays. Be inform and don't let your hard earned holding to be taken away by those persons who does not not to play the game fair.
I see a lot of the nationalism and even fascism in those words. Maybe not on this forum or in other topics?

Russia’s internet watchdog has blocked an estimated 16m IP addresses in a massive operation against the banned Telegram messaging app that could set a new precedent for Russian online censorship. As we all know, Telegram is also a very popular channel for ICOs.
How could this affect ICOs targeting Russian participants?

I dont think that is very bad news. Just because one country bans the telegram for X reason doesnt left us out of the options. I am sure ICO's are just fine with not having the telegram in one country. The telegram campaigns were launched just recently and I dont think its gonna hit it badly if its banned in one country right now. There are many more countries who aren't gonna take steps like that and ICO will still continue to run the campaign over there. Its really small thing to know as we have seen a whole country banning the ICO itself (china) yet we are having good time running them.

This is bad only for participants from Russia. But this will not affect the future development of ICO projects and crypto. Especially there are ways to bypass the lock, something like a VPN.
Yes this is from russians only so even they will blocks telegram for their people still there's a way to use this application. I've heard and read just now that there is country who would like to stop using such an application for the cyrpto users. But I think it will not effect as a whole in Ico's performance.

I think it would affect ICOs somehow, however, we all know that as a crypto enthusiast, we would most likely do our best to at least gain access and gain profit from crypto one way or another. Even I, if ever crypto will be banned in our country, I would still find ways to earn through crypto even if it not supported by our government. So, it will only have a little effect on crypto, I guess.
The most fun in this situation is that other companies suffer from blockings, and telegrams so and not blocking)

The news is not so bad delivered, because there are still many ways to get into it with VPN is also very able to access it, but I am sure it is not too many Russians who are concerned with blocking and keep using telegram I hope it just scare it, and not too influential for ICO and Facebook and Twitter to block all crypto ads that do not affect ICO because there are many other ways to promote ICO.

Well, Telegram is an application which was used by the majority of Crypto traders in order to gain daily updates about their tracking ICO projects and every other information regarding ICO and bounty programs which I can see a hot topic in this forum. I am really lucky that I am not a Russian citizen because banning the Telegram app would have affected me a lot as I am using it on a daily basis and it is one of my major marketing tools which earns me a good income on regular basis. But I am sure that my Russian friends would find some other way to market and get information for their respected ICO's and Crypto projects.
It's bad for russians, not for ICO I guess.
I think it does not matter. People avoid blocking and will continue to use the telegram. I think everything will be fine.
As usual, if the people want something, they will get it in one way or another. The Chinese ban didn't stop Chinese crypto entusiasts from particiapting in the market.
The Telegram ban won't stop the Russians.
The Telegram ban won't stop the Russians.
Definitely so. The ban can easily be bypassed by using VPNs or proxies. Moreover, Telegram is going to implement a built-in VPN soon so it shouldn't be a problem at all.
Telegram is already blocked by many Isps and countries around the world but that is not the real problem as you can easily access it by using any free vpn service, there are many vpn apps also available for android and ios.
Yes, but some Russian Telegram users report still being able to use the app, even without using a VPN.They also asked Apple and Google to pull Telegram from their Russian app stores.
There will always be another way, simply put. We are in the digital age where blockages can be overridden in many ways.
And even if Russia succeeds to block Telegram, ICOs still have many channels to route their updates, news, announcements and all modes of communications.
I don't think it's a biggie for ICOs but will definitely hurt one way or the other, but it surely won't stop them.

Yes, in any case it will affect the Russian market of crypto currency, not for the good.
But while all this is bypassed, and there are no big problems. There are some inconveniences in the work, but this does not hinder much.

telegramm will continue to work in the russia using vpn.
similarly in Ukraine banned vkontakte, but it continues to use

They will not be able to block the telegram. Yes, the PC version is problematic, but everything works on the phone. They block by IP, and to block Telegram over IP it is necessary to block IP of Google Play, App Store and Microsoft.
Those who want to ban the ICO, even telegram blocked by them. It's another problem. Russians can still find alternative ways for communications like other countries. Fortunately there are vpn and other alternative social media campaigns.
Maybe, should create new account on telegram and automatically add vpn.
