We're asking for a world of hurt with this if it leads to people actually aiding Iranians in evading US sanctions.

I think economic sanctions are pretty shitty myself but I would prefer Bitcointalk to stay online.

I'm not going to worry about following ridiculous laws like that. The forum isn't based in the US, anyway.

+1. There's plenty of users who're not based in the US, thus not going under US jurisdictions anyway.

Buried Keys is open for anyone to play. The prize money is buried in the blockchain and the keys exits whenever someone discovers them. There is no actual money on my website, nor do I transfer any money across borders. The money is just sitting out there on the Internet waiting to be found. I ask that people from countries where it is wrong to win money this way to not participate, but since I do not have the money, I have no control as to who takes it. I consider it salvage in international virtual waters waiting for any pirate to take it.
