Title: Anyone from or know about Iran?
Post by: fairgo on August 27, 2012, 02:32:36 PM
Is anyone from IRAN here?

if yes, I was yes curious to know the situation of bitcoin there.

seeing all the sanctions, bitcoins seems a good way for Iranians.....could be a good business for the "think out of the box" person

I don't know the situation of bitcoins there, I read something about Tor network there, but even if they can use bitcoins with tor and skip censure, the need a real exchange place and I supose this is very difficult.

There is an Iranian digital currency exchange:

Also, BitcoinNordic.com now accepts CashU cards, which is used in much of the Middle East.  It looks like years ago they had locations where the cards could be purchased in Iran, but not anymore.
