Is this proprietary technology that people will need to buy to 'settle' in the community you're building?

This is technology that makes Bitcoin Island possible, yes.

I have a lot more questions about this project but I get the feeling my questions aren't going to be answered so I'll gracefully leave this thread.

If I can't ascertain whether OP's intent is good or not I can't in good conscience pretend that it's a good idea.

For anyone else still on this thread, good luck but make sure you do your due diligence.

Just to make it explicitly clear, if you quote from deleted posts made by the one person in this thread who obviously has no idea what this thread is about, who (due to his apparent status as an "investor") refuses to do even basic research into the Bitcoin Island project, and who continues to ask stupid questions like asking me to "verify my involvement" in this project, your posts will also be deleted with prejudice.

There is something ever so slightly 'run for profit, lots of it' about this. 3 BTC to stay on some land, in a tent to learn about some tech?

At the moment, there is a limit of 10 participants. If you think 30 BTC is "lots of profit," I'm not sure what to tell you other than "move out of your parents' basement."

Bitcoin is new, makes sense to hodl.

we should invite people to a bitcoin island and make some kinds of survival reality game show sponsored by bitcoin services. For example, there could be a stage that participants have to play satoshidice (if they are one of the sponsors), losing their pants and shirts if broke, whoever tripple their capitals are to proceed to the next stage, etc, and broadcast the show on internet.

No one has to be a troll. Just provide more details that would entice people for this opportunity. Shouldn't be a problem if you're serious, OP.

Physical technologies will be disclosed once the island is settled. Information technologies some time after that.

When you say technologies, what do you mean?

Also, isn't an NDA/non-compete against the open nature of Bitcoin?

No-one begrudges a Bitcoin business it's proprietary business methods but Bitcoin Island seems to be about building a new society that uses Bitcoin at it's core; one that embraces it's openness.

Is it ok to ask why it costs so much?

Part will be used for food, part for supplies, part because it's a nice round number. I'm only looking for people who are seriously interested, and so far that's the going market rate.

Come spend a few days camping out and testing the technologies to be used to colonize Bitcoin Island.

When: July 18th-20th
Where: Outside Tulsa
Cost: 3 BTC total, 0.5 BTC non-refundable deposit
Registration Deadline: July 10th

This "dry run" event will take place in a controlled environment, near a large city. But you should be physically prepared for a realistic experience. This will include working in hot (100°+) temperatures to construct temporary shelter.

Meals are included. You will need to bring a tent and a sleeping pad or hammock, along with a swimsuit, boots and suitable clothes for 3 days / 2 nights.

Participation is limited. You will be asked to sign a non-disclosure / limited non-compete agreement.

(Stupidity in this thread will be deleted.)
