One of the other participants, a VPN provider, lists your new IP and implies it is from Switzerland.

While the majority of sites list that IP as swiss. Some list is as Iranian:

If it actually were Iranian, then paying in bitcoins would be an effective way around the sanctions. If only Iran were more tech savy, then they could cater to the bitcoin early adopters and provide VPS, domain services, and the like.



Wait, let me get this straight. So in Iran where most people are tech savy enough to use external VPN or proxy services to bypass the government firewall you suggest that they offer VPS and domain services to anonymous bitcoin users.
