Do people actually want such a service? What part of interacting with a touch screen displaying an animated character, high end or luxury?
The shortest way out is island nation golden passport plus renunciation of Iranian citizenship plus incorporation in Dubai and then get going. Rough because startup cost is $250k. Well, you have a story to tell a VC. It'll be tough, though. None of the A listers will risk this.
Off topic, but I've been wondering for years about people pricing things with a 7 in the end (497$, 597$, 197$...) Every "web marketing" person I ran into does it, it comes from that environment?

You're absolutely right, and I apologize for the confusion. The demo is a single-session system (designed for hotel lobby kiosks where one person uses it at a time).

The author says "I am not looking for anyone to bypass sanctio…
Legality set aside (I agree on your points on the repercussions), "the West" isn't that unified when it comes to middle east and other areas where the US meddled a lot. In particular, EU countries can have a way more nuanced view on it and be quite pissed at US' positions.
Which can make the author's perception of it more complex. They'll find people who are genuinely sympathetic, but still absolutely refusing to cross the bridge.

> I see a lot of negativity in this thread and I’m not sure why… Because it's a request for someone to violate sanctions for them. They are specifically asking for someone to set up Stripe, take on the legal risk of violating international sanctions, and forward the money to them. > Yes there are obvious hurdles for people in “the west,” but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. The "it" that is being requested is not a…
And it’s an obvious social engineering scam. Urgency, pleading for empathy, having the most destitute-sounding story of all time. Did he really lose all his life savings to this project? How do we know that?
