I have an idea for a project.  There are so many successful blockchain projects that can be used to launch a small town or city.  There are blockchain projects for nearly every industry. This can be done with the right people. We already have a few important things in place.

There are already a couple pf project live on this principle. Aeturnum is one such project who intends to do it. I am not very sure how good the project is but the idea is certainly not new.

You may build on to it though.  :)

Dreams are great, but little can be done compared to the possibilities of this technology.
There is a lot of misunderstanding when we talk about the Blockchain. many associates it with bitcoin, porn, and the drugs, but as soon as the point of view changes, there will be more than just a small city [ may reach capitals and countries.]
Linking blockchain to the internet of things"Iot" will make things much easier

There are many resources that can be used to make this a reality if you find the right connections.

We have in place complete plans to build an entire city made from natural materials such as hempcrete, bamboo, and other natural materials. Along with a team of master builders and experts in sustainability.

We have the resources to produce our own building materials using hemp and bamboo.

We have tested and proven plans to build a solar energy generator of any size with enough energy to power a city.

What would need to be done is figuring out integrating the blockchain which I don't believe would be difficult. I believe this project would also help many cryptocurrency with their development.

Interesting concept that may become reality in the future. Maybe start off with a village first ;)

@NectarHQ Thank you and we are working on developing our first test village on our land in Texas. We are building the open-source designs here:

www.onecommunityglobal.org

Can you please post proof of your "501(c)3 non-profit volunteer" status please?

We are not 501c3, One Community Global is 501c3 and they are a completely separate entity. We just use their open source designs.

First of all hello to you. There are quite a bunch of amazing platforms that provides a good rewards for doing certain simple tasks. A new platform you might have heard of, "Railz" is a machine to machine platform. Railz is a blockchain-based next-generation protocol for a trillion machines to talk, negotiate, and deliver the internet of things economy. Their goal is to enable a trillion IoT devices to be able to conduct sophisticated commerce, self-organised into supply chains, trade autonomously without human intervention.This project has a very unique and most demanding need in today's world. The pre-ico phage is soon to start and this platform has organized a campaign to reward $200 weekly just by sharing a few posts over reliable platforms. You're in, if you post just 5 out of 7 days. Hope you give a look to this platform, as they're offering more rewards to the individual advising or keeping an eye in their platform. This is incredibly awesome from my point of view. Hope you check out their official site railz.org or connect to the platform via twitter as RailzOfficial, telegram as RailzOfficial or other medias. :) 

I look over to your website, my first impression is your website has been full with the content. I assume you had carried out several project related with your website and now I guess you are entering crypto space for crowdfunding. I've ever seen also some ICO which at first impression to help others, similar with social organization. The respond from the community is sufficient to make the project running, the project name is Ethic. Even the purpose will be different with you, at least you have similar thing with Ethic for helping others.

The site posted is not our site. One Community Global is an open source organization that research and designs complete sustainable communities for anyone to use.  Is there a site for Ethic?

Actually I think it might be a nice idea to have such a blockchain heaven :) Read about something similar is being created in Puerto Rico

is this some kind of virtual reality city on the blockchain?

why? why not use world of warcraft servers and build this city there or in second life etc.

No we are talking about building a real city not virtual reality.

and why you need blockchain for it?

why not grow an existing city?

there are many issues to be solved to found a city except you have an army like alexander that conquered persia and founded 30 cities within 9 years

We have access to cheap unincorporated land which is why we do not want to purchase land in an existing city. We wish to allow the community to develop the land by dealing with unincorporated it allows the community to develop with less restrictions.

Why blockchain? We ask why not blockchain, it solves many issues. Plus we want to be a test city so others can easily duplicate our design anywhere in the world.

Just a question - do you have an existing city that's willing to cooperate with you on this?

If not, do you have land or property where you will start the foundations of a new city using blockchain technology and applications?

Am curious to learn what YOUR vision is for a town/city on blockchain.

That's good idea, but where does that town will be?
Somebody like cold, and want to live in place like Norway.
Somebody like hot, and want living in Asia, in Thai, for example.

Of course, Bitcoiniya - cool place. But, where?

We own 20 acres of unincorporated land in the USA. This is where we are raising funds to build our bamboo farm and processing facility.

The county that our land is located is up for sale which is millions of acres. By the land being unincorporated we could begin building our first ecovillage and begin communicating with the local, state, and federal government to officially become a town or city if the members decide that route.

We have access to plans for every climate www.onecommunityglobal.org

The idea sounds foolish. Wasnt cryptocurrency technology built so that we would break borders instead of creating them?

Good luck to the project but I hope potential investors will think twice once the project's developers start asking for money.

No we don't believe cryptocurrency was created to break borders. We believe it was created for us to live more freely, allow people to provide solutions, and introduce new ideas from the people.

We have not presented a roadmap, website, or our plan so must ask how you came to this opinion?

Honestly, this is the first time I hear about this. And then I read the comments and I was like "wow, okay." But first, you are certain that you need lots of money and many other factors that are needed to make that town habitable.  If that town is nowhere in Texas, who would want to live in it unless you provide it with supermarkets and other stuff. Either way, I support your idea and I hope you carry it out, even though I am sure you are going to face many difficulties. 

OP, is not suggesting that barriers or borders should be restricted to one city. You could have different autonomous cities that

are using the same technology or token, but they function on their own. You can then have trade routes between these

cities that are using the same technology or token. Not that far fetched, if you think about it. It will work well, if you want to

avoid cities that would cripple your economy. {Like Zimbabwe dragging down their neighbouring countries, when they use

their currency}

Kprawn do you support the idea behind this project? Are you willing to invest some money on it assuming that the founders can be trusted?

What do you think of its chances for success as a potential investor?

It could be hard, for my opinion, in receiving visas for people, who buying land in this new cryptocity...
Do you think about this questions?
For example, visa centers is close for Russian people now, in Russia i can't go to USA , where would be my cryptohouse

Well, I think your idea ( imagination ) is pretty good but  it is difficult to achieve especially in this era or period, it is true that Blockchain technology has a ton of characteristics and it is  very useful to ensure the success of many projects but  sometimes you must be realistic.

Plus, I see that  you are very  hasty in order  to achieve this project, but  you should avoid it ( hastiness) because it may affect you negatively.
In fact,   you will see many people who will be surprised at the idea of this project and some will reject it, and will not believe it. But  you must  show him that you will  achieve this idea in reality. Just believe in yourself, and work hard.

That's my advice: you must have a futuristic vision about what will happen, and trust me, the good vision will help you well in order to take a shortcut way for the success of your project.

Good luck, and keep going.

why dont you try to build something in Decentraland first. Make some experiences.

Or do you know the Movement: https://medium.com/@movementDAO
A fully decentralized organization for borderless collaboration with headquartered in the virtual world.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2068554.0

Thank you all for your insight. I would first like to say that we are not hasty, the organizations that we are collaborating with on the development of the ecovillages have been researching for over 15 years and have very detailed plans on building, maintaining and expanding the ecovillages.

With our hemp and bamboo farms and processing facilities we will be able to produce anything that we need for the ecovillages. Industrial hemp and bamboo can replace anything made of plastic, paper, cardboard, metal, steel, body care products, biofuels, textiles, industrial products and 25,000 other products.

https://miraclesfor.me/environment/50000-ways-that-hemp-can-literally-save-the-world/

Our vision with this project is to be an example of living a sustainable lifestyle. We do not wish to be like every other city. We are also not looking for everyone to be a resident. We are looking to work with those who understand that we need to rethink the way we live and who are ready to manifest that new lifestyle through our project. If you research the sustainable living movement across the world, you will see individuals, cities, and even entire countries who are developing toward a more sustainable lifestyle.

We have master farmers on our team who can grow 1 million pounds of food on 3 acres of land. The average family of 4 consumes 8000lbs of food annually.

https://youtu.be/jV9CCxdkOng - our farmers have worked with this organization

We have master builders, engineers, and architects who can build any structure using natural materials.

https://youtu.be/sDn8bZZGhVY - this is just one natural material

We also have full plans to build a solar portable generator small enough to power a t.v. or large enough to power an entire city. These plans are tested and proven. And with hemp we can produce solar panels.

https://youtu.be/HJLYg_XTk08

Organization is most important. Forming committees of skilled people in project management, communication, logistics, etc.

I could continue to share more and more but it'd be a lot to share. But what I'm explaining is that everything to build a city is here for us if we find it. Just a matter of creating action and finding the right people because again this project is for those who want to build a new way of living not only for themselves but for the world.

https://youtu.be/pxP5UhcIfCs - this was built all by volunteers of people who shared a common vision and goal

interesting idea, but i can't understand,how you are thinking about residence there...
maybe, it is not main question, but i prefer buying houses with legality

To me this is just nonsense.
And if you are asking for opinion and stuff on a forum, then you probably aren't ready for a project.
Test and learn my friend. Tbh I don't really think something like it would be successful.

My opinion if realy want build a blockchain for ur idea, first u dont need token. Blockchain is not a token or coin after all. I thing token make a blockchain more difficult to undestod.

Again we thank you all for your insight. That is what we are here for. The ability to build the ecovillages isn't our challenge. We are discussing how to implement blockchain technology within the ecovillages.

I'm currently learning about Acorn which gives crowdfunding in the blockchain just about any legal project anywhere in the world.

If you're pertaining to create a town or city, crowdfunding is a great idea. If you're pertaining to create a town or city that everything runs on blockchain, I think it's feasible but it needs all decentralized applications in place such as medicine, education, health services, electricity, database, and so much more. It's like converging all industries but I know there are already platforms that can interconnect other platforms such as ArcBlock.

By the way, your idea is great.  ;D

Thank you very much for your knowledge. What you stated above is exactly the vision. We wish to integrate ever decentralized application that can be used in a town or city.

Thank you for sharing ArcBlock, we were not aware of them.

We will look into Acorn as we believe crowdfunding is a better route. Thank you

Beautiful idea, what about California? I know few landlords who ready to sell their lands for crypto, and we'll be able to develop construction using some sustainable and modern construction technologies. I'm IN 

In several country already developments on smart city theme is going on for example Bangalore, India. Are you going to use this smart city concept and build town or city based on blockchain technology???? As an civil engineer i like your vision of building town or city  using blockchain technology. But i am curious to know how these blockchain technology based town or city will help society. You are coming up with an idea i hope you may have considered the following factors if yes i would be glad to know more about them
- Features of city or town based on the blockchain technology
- Strategy & Concept
- Chalanges for exmaple fund collection & approvals to build the city

Thank you. We have unincorporated land in Texas where we will be placing our bamboo farm. The entire county is for sale there also. I would love to talk more about California and hear your ideas. Please feel free to email me Peopleskingdom@gmail.com.

This sounds amazing!!

Great to hear your thoughts. The designs we plan to use are www.onecommunityglobal.org and https://www.thevenusproject.com/. We will integrate blockchain technology into these concepts.

We will develop teams or committees lead by people with experience in these areas such as project management, research, science and technology, design & development, sustainability, legal team, etc.

We plan to build on unincorporated as it is easier to build on the land due to less laws and regulations.

But we wholeheartedly believe that if people are given the opportunity to use their creative expression then we can manifest something so beautiful together. So we want to provide people with the tools, organization, and skilled minds to allow the people to build this city. For example someone like yourself who is a civil engineer could offer your assistance to the project in exchange receive an X amount of our tokens or we build a home for you in the city.

As far as funding we are discussing an ICO or crowdfunding. But our goal is to first build a bamboo and hemp farm and processing facility that we then use to produce any product or material that we need for the project.

If you dive deep into the world of sustainable living you will find that there are hundreds of thousands of people from engineers, architects, scientist, designers, farmers, builders, educators, product specialist, etc. who are willing to volunteer their time to build sustainable communities. We are in communication with many of them and we've witnessed them provide their skills toward projects.

Do you think Rajneshpuram (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajneeshpuram)is one of such real life implications ? (On the contrary,I've been watching netflix too much).Sustainable living does need a lot of interdependence.I doubt blockchain based cities can solve that problem.The idea is just too unrealistic to brainstorm about it. 

We are not trying to solve any problem within sustainable living because sustainable living is the solutions. We are simply looking to integrate within the sustainable communities any useful blockchain technology. A sustainable city stills needs blockchain technology to store data, smart contracts, educational platforms such as bitdegree, payment systems, and more. If you really think about it the project is very realistic.

We find blockchain technology with a successful track record and good dev. team and leadership and work with them to integrate their technology into the city where we see fit.

If we put together a solid team of professionals experienced in the areas needed to research and develop a sustainable city and then promote to [Suspicious link removed]panies to use their technology to showcase to the world the benefits of their technology within an actual town or city, I believe we will receive a huge following and funding.

We aren't trying to be a [Suspicious link removed]pany. We want to be the project for the [Suspicious link removed]panies.

A quick question - how open is your state/region with initiatives like this? are you collaborating and iterating cooperatively? or are you just going to build and see what happens?

The only obstacle would be getting approved for natural building and off grid methods but that is a small issue as the organizations we are collaborating with have 15 years of experience building sustainable communities so they are aware of the procedure. The designs here www.onecommunityglobal.org are designed to be easily duplicated so they meet mostly all state or county laws and regulations.

But the land we have is unincorporated which means it is much easier to build what we want. But yes we are in communication with the county. This is the location for our bamboo farm but we are not sure if we'll purchase surrounding land or another location within an hour of the farm.

Coinnup is a Blockchain powered Fintech solution that can ease out financial transactions across borders in a swift manner. With the help of Coinnup, you will be able to get smart options for incorporating secure payment gateways for carrying out digital transactions among the citizens ina smart city.

This is great!! Can you please email me peopleskingdom@gmail.com

Somehow I like the idea but can't underatand it fully.
You want to integrate blockchain technologies, what do you mean in it? Do you want to create another town/city where everything will be on organic things and blockchain technologies? For example bank with blockchain technologies (I'll use BT), land titling with BT, wedding registry and etc everything in BT?
By the way Georgia released blockchain based land titling with the help of BitFury. What about to contact this company?

Yes that is exactly our idea. WOW Bitfury that is very helpful!
