Rome wasn't built in a day, but a Bitcoin city can be.
How?  By buying it from the bankrupt US government!

This site has plenty of space for living, businesses, agriculture, and trade.  And it's a bargain, too!
The goal is to have an anarcho-capitalist city, built with Bitcoin!

time for the basement miners of yore to move into a bigger one  :P

awesome, I'd be down

$400,000 is pretty cheap.

A bitcoin city surrounded by USA? Seems safe

This is an amazing April Fool's joke. Unless it isn't...

If this was a in a country that don't pull Waco on people and that I could move to, I would participate...

Centralize all the big players in bitcoin to a single location. In America. Genious

I'm only going to live there if there is a mandatory hygiene law.  I know, I know, big brother and all,  but if we're underground everyone better be smellin' fresh.

Funny idea, mining equipment would keep us warm :p
But boy oh boy, all big bitcoiners in one place, USA of all places.
We've got a great community here, let's see where that goes.

This thread helped me learn about the open source ecology project.

You're right.  I don't have time to do this today.  Besides it doesn't seem like we can drum up enough interest in such a short amount of time to make it work.  Oh well.
