I would not want to live on an island with you derelicts.
In no other community have I had to protect myself from so many dishonest, scammy, schemers.

It would be exhausting living in perpetual defense.

Bitcoin revealed that much of the world plays from a different rulebook - void of conscience.
I'm OK with my distance from many of you.

Unfortunately this is true. Step foot on Bitcoin Island and you probably get held for ransom immediately.

A shame.

The organiser would probably claim that your ticket to the island isn't a real ticket, it's just a 'token' ticket, and that all the real tickets were stolen from them due to a ticket malleability issue. Then they would claim it wasn't their fault, it's a problem with all tickets.

Yeah, we let them host servers and they'll pay for the internet access on the island.
They get servers, we get free internet. Win-win situation!

What makes you think that Viacom.etc will permit that? They'll ask Obama / NATO to invade the island.

Good point… What if we put underwater cables to a few countries we could have our own internet provider.

thepiratebay.se tried to do the same thing:
1- buy an island
2- declare independence
3- create a nation where all online programs are free

So why don't we team up with them? Grin

They gave up the idea because they couldn't raise the necessary funds. They even thought about buying a land parcel in Somalia, and declaring independence. Grin

You lead and I'll watch you walk away.

Good Christ, another island thread. Let's all pool our Bitcoins and buy an island, or a big boat, or an old oil platform in the ocean or maybe seastead a giant floating dead whale. This forum has salt water on the brain!

Instead of an island, crowdfunding for a Noah's Ark ship where it circles around the world picking up bitcoiners along the way

The idea is not bad. But a ship will be having limited surface area, and won't be having the much needed agricultural / recreational space. Without these the society will be dependent on the outside world.

I guess most ppl don't want to get stuck on something for long time like marriage at least I don't. The idea of such cruise ship is bitcoiners can hop onboard, spend a few weeks or so using bitcoin as currency and leave to another bitcoin ship, or bitcoin islands.

You mean like a bitcoin version of Freedom ship?

Freedom ship is too big for its own good, it's like centralization that we try to get away. I guess a medium size catamaran that is able to haul 25 to 50 people should be able to function as society. We can have many of these nimble,agile floating units, and together we can form a caravan of bitcoin floating micronation roaming the pacific together, and hopefully make it together.

Guys we are all throwing ideas here but NO actual research has been done.

Such as:
Power - probably photovoltaic farm which means we need an island in an area that has a lot of sunlight during the day cycle.
Food - The land must be suitable for plantations and having live stock - which means any island full of poisonous snakes etc, might not be suitable.
Internet - That can be covered with satellite internet, but it's expensive so BTC production must be good.
Water supply - We need to have drinkable water.
Health care - Shit happens you know....
Protection - From outsiders, pirates, thieves, the gov, etc.

and the list goes on.....

Right now we have an idea but it is not properly researched.

There has been so much research done on this, millions of dollars worth.

Buying an island controlled by another nation is no different than
