I see Kraken are blacklisting NY due to their crazy new BTC regulations.
This is most definitely 'bad news' for all things Bitcoin

It must be a nightmare for bitcoiners living in New York now. The only way I imagine they can do business with exchanges that have blacklisted New York is through a VPN. I have never tried accessing an exchange through a VPN but I wonder if the exchanges have also blacklisted any IP addresses they detect as VPN IP addresses.
Further, when submitting their KYC documents New York residents have also probably had to tell the exchanges they are from New York. Perhaps students with bank account addresses at their non-New York parents might be OK.
Whew, dodged a bullet there.
