Title: [2016-01-22]Bitcoin Exchange BTC-E Blocked by Russian Regulator Post by: Ernstew on January 22, 2016, 09:37:45 PM European bitcoin exchange operator BTC-e has revealed that users in the Russian Federation won’t get access to its website following a ban imposed by a Russian regulator today.
In what may be sign of things to come prior to the review of a draft bill that seeks a Bitcoin ban by the Russian legislature , the official twitter account of European bitcoin and alt coins exchange BTC-e has revealed that it won’t be accessible by Russian users. The tweet mentions a lock by Roskomnadzor, the Russian telecom regulator which effectively puts the domain btc-e.com in a blacklist that will not be accessible via Russian ISPs. Roughly translated, the tweet reads: Quote In connection with roskomnadzor lock [from] 22.01.2016 [the] domain btc-e.com may not be available for users of the RUSSIAN FEDERATION #btce Read more https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/bitcoin-exchange-btc-e-blocked-russian-regulator/ (https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/bitcoin-exchange-btc-e-blocked-russian-regulator/) Title: Re: [2016-01-22]Bitcoin Exchange BTC-E Blocked by Russian Regulator Post by: Kellor on January 22, 2016, 09:42:13 PM That is bad news.
