I'm setting up my own BTCPay server for payments from people buying seasteads.
It's actually not too difficult if you go the LunaNode route (An ISP has integrated all of the packages for you with an easy to use configuration page).
So that took me a few hours this morning (Originally I was setting everything up on my computer but decided, screw it...I'll take the easy route).
On the other side...accepting dollars is a pain in the ass. To do this we had to incorporate. This involved finding a country that won't tax us to death for not doing anything in their country. We had to meet in person and show proof to the lawyers. Pay them thousands of dollars (my LunaNode cost $20). Air fare, hotel, etc.
Now we will be setting up our Singapore bank account which will likely require another flight and hotels. Then the huge hassle of accepting credit cards or PayPal (for the earnest money downpayment) which we get to pay them for the convenience.
At some point, in the likely not too distant future, we will probably just say screw it...if you want a seastead you convert to bitcoins and join the sane people who use a sane money.
As a special tribute to the dollar, we're doing our Initial Seastead Offering (ISeaO) on April 15th.
Protest the income tax by putting your 1% downpayment on buying a seastead.
https://ocean.builders/april-15th-initial-seastead-offering/Since you're already active in that area, would you mind answering a few questions regarding seasteading for me? The responses can be however brief since this won't be immediately relevant for quite a number of years to me, but I'd like to sketch out some future options regardless.
Is it plausible to create a small seasteading property on which you could have some sort of outdoor space, or at least indoor garden or small park?
Perhaps an inner courtyard type setup with or without a roof that may or may not be opened and closed?
Is it possible to get a per square meter cost estimate (excluding inventory)?
How do you go about acquiring "sea" (land/property) for something like this? Surely you can't just set up whatever arbitrarily?
Is this possible in areas where you don't have to worry about pirates or rely on guns? (I don't have a problem with guns, but I'd prefer it being an option as opposed to a necessity if that makes sense.)
Meantime it looks like we're snug in the 5200-5300 range. Not a bad improvement from the 2800-3000 range a few weeks ago.
Progress. But does it mean BC is worth more, or fiat is simply worth less?
