looks like TON is has its own proof-of-stake system, so it's competition for Ethereum. is that why Russia is blasting it off the internet?
- luka-birsa 8y agoIt's more likely due to the fact that the Telegram founder is waging a war with Russia and publicly denying them access to Telegram. PS: I'm still not convinced all of this is not some charade, but then again I don't trust anybody that build communication tools, so do take the charade comment with a grain of salt.
- baby 8y agoThey are publicly denying them access? Source? Beside a PR statement?
- drdaeman 8y ago> is that why Russia is blasting it off the internet? What are the chances a government (and a Russian government of them all!) would not only actually understand cryptocurrencies, but also have some solid strategy regarding those? Some governments are maybe close to this, but in overall - I'd say, chances are quite low. Nah, it's just that FSB want to be able to either read messages or kill the non-cooperating service. Or, if we take another theory, they want to make to make an impression the service is extremely uncooperative and they absolutely can't read any messages. Either of those is much simpler and plausible than a conspiracy to ban some token that doesn't even exist yet.
- baby 8y agoMy guess is that Russia is blocking some servers that affected them and they’re spinning that as Russia targeting them for PR.
- duskwuff 8y agoTON doesn't exist as a product yet, so there's nothing for Russia to block. Russia's attempts to block Telegram are almost certainly related to the services that Telegram offers now, not things which it might hypothetically offer in the future.
