This is a great first step toward full seasteading.

I recommend a careful study and discussion of how BlueSeed will comply with
Section 922.132 a.2

Mooring one of these:
in the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary will be an interesting exercise in dealing with 14+ different oversight agencies.

Going to be there in a few weeks! Can't wait!
Amazing!
I will surely be following this up and be keeping up to date!
This is looking really promising, I think a lot of people would be more than willing to help support this beautiful project.
This needs to be advertised more, I'm going to include this in my sig, this is great news and could make bitcoin progress even further!

Cool stuff...
My name is Dan Dascalescu and I'm the co-founder and COO/CTO of Blueseed, an upcoming community for startup entrepreneurs in international waters, 12 nautical miles (30 minutes by ferry) from the Silicon Valley coast. I'll be speaking about Blueseed and Bitcoin at the Bitcoin2013 conference on May 19.
I've been a Bitcoin user since 2011, and I'm posting here to get the community's feedback on what topics you'd like discussed. The talk will be recorded and made available online. I'll only have a 30 minutes slot to discuss the interplay between the world's largest tech-oriented colony on a semi-independent jurisdiction, and the world's most advanced cryptocurrency... fun times.
Very briefly, Blueseed was founded in August 2011 by former directors at The Seasteading Institute, is seed-funded, has a solid business model (rent + startups equity), we've done all the research possible at this stage - ocean conditions, ship stability, ship chartering, Internet connectivity, ferry and helicopter transportation, resupply chain, waste handling, visas and immigration matters, you name it. Preliminary discussions with U.S. authorities indicate not only non-interference, but actual support. 400 startups have already expressed interest, and we've received excellent press coverage. As long as we raise Series A funding on time, Blueseed should be in the water during the summer of next year.
As such, most likely any non-Bitcoin question about Blueseed has been already asked and answered. I'll also be replying to individual mentions of Blueseed that I see were made in quite a few other threads on the forum, notably Bitcoin Island and Bitcoin Island/City and More. In the interest of time, please read up a bit on Blueseed, as remarks likening us to Bioshock/Waterworld/Lord of The Flies, suggesting that pirates will invade the ship, or that it "steals American jobs", are unoriginal and will be summarily ignored.
Please make sure to read the Blueseed Quick Facts and the Blueseed FAQ to familiarize yourself with the venture.
For plenty of videos (we've been all over the news), head over to blueseed.tv.
What would you like to be discussed? I'll split the 30 minutes of the talk into a meaty presentation of Blueseed and a Q&A/discussion session.
So far we have the following:
I'm looking forward to your proposed topics and questions.

So far we have the following:
- Will Blueseed accept Bitcoin for payments, e.g. for rent?
- What currency will be dominant onboard? Will items in the shops there, such as food, be denominated in USD but BTC is just as welcome/preferred?
- Will companies use BTC to trade between each other for B2B services?
- What Bitcoin-centered business models would have an advantage in the Blueseed environment?
- How can BTC owners invest in Blueseed?
- How can BTC owners reserve a spot?
I'm looking forward to your proposed topics and questions.
