Post by: drekk on September 23, 2012, 08:03:35 PM Keep in mind that a lot of traffic from the region goes through proxies, VPNs, TOR etc., so I wouldn't consider these graphs too accurate.

Of course, but at least it gives an idea. Title: Re: Increased bitcoin traffic in Iran?

I wonder how many Iranian users actually use bitcoin WITH their own IP. I would suspect the average computer savvy paranoid bitcoin user would use a VPN or Tor in fear of administrative punishment.

It's not that hard to type 'Iran' there and see if there is a very recent thread on the same topic.

In Iran, everybody uses VPN, not only the computer savvy paranoid bitcoin user. Without VPN, you can't see 95% (by traffic) of the internet. Facebook is popular but blocked without VPN.

Government just hasn't started enforcing it yet. Do you have a source for that by chance? I can't find mine. >:(Title: Re: Increased bitcoin traffic in Iran?

Same goes for China. Title: Re: Increased bitcoin traffic in Iran? Post by: knight22 on September 25, 2012, 04:45:42 PM It's sad that Irans government chooses to keep their country in the dark ages. Same goes for China. We can say the same for US Title: Re: Increased bitcoin traffic in Iran?
