@prologic@twtxt.net If a government bans the currency, it wouldn’t have a hope of being enforced unless they could make all the internet service providers enforce a domain whitelist. Not a blacklist like the Great Firewall of China.

The GFW also does deep packet inspection, and perhaps that could be used (likely on a per-currency basis) to limit the access of nodes, but that can be circumvented with Tor bridges.

The government could cut off a country from the Internet like you said, but then you have bigger problems than your favorite internet currency being unusable. Even then, there would still be ways around it.
