in short you have still not learned the basics. and 5 years on still touting for funds to do a phase one plan in 4 years time to prototype out the basics...(facepalm).....(yawn).. heard all this before
hint
1. you dont need a prototype to learn the basics
2. you spent 5 years making glossy images without learning the basics to even make the glossy images realistic in concept
3. you dont need to spend a penny to learn the basics.
years ago i was highly interested in the idea untill i seen it as just a money grabbing scheme. i pointed out some flaws and years later the flaws are still there but you just rebranded, made new glossy pictures and then went out and done another money grab.
you have not learned a single thing from the past. and have wasted years doing nothing more then glossy images. ... oh and a memo is not worth the paper its printed on. (hint. memos are not law/rule/contract.. and by 2022 the guy that signed the memo wont be sitting in the seat he sat in when he signed it, so it has no value)
such a shame, using people libertarian mindsets to then grab funds out of them without telling them that even after YEARS of delays the end result will be a billion dollars+ wasted and ...at best if a screwdriver does end up in some engineers hand. only enough dwellings for <200 people..
hint
waste/resource analysis
cost per household analysis
population limitation analysis
weather/climate/ocean risk analysis
you have buzzworded some. but you have actually lacked doing it. and guess what. it does not take 5 years and large funding to do. and doesnt even need a 'memo' as permission to do it. it doesnt even need to purchase a single piece of wood, fibreglass, plastic or any material to do it either.
if you were actually serious, you would actually do the easy job first to then use that to then move things along. .. and not just money grab
if this was not just a money grab. i woulda actually volunteered my time (that means free) to project manage and push things along and your project would have had substance by now. i even hinted some things years ago. but as of today i see nothing new, and i see what your projct really is
FYI, Blue Frontiers...the company I am volunteering for (not my company) has been around for 1 year. The Seasteading Institute has been around for 10 years. Blue Frontiers branched off of The Seasteading Institute last year because TSI is non-profit and this project requires a company that can make money.
You talk about what "I have not learned", but don't point out what was to be learned other than categories. We happen to have experts in every field related to this including "waste/resource analysis" (ever sat through a 3 hour presentation on poop? There are people who are very interested in this....do I go into a 3 hour presentation on waste in quick posts about the company to the public? no).
This is all off the shelf technology. We're not trying to do anything super extreme, just take existing technology and put it together in one place floating on a calm lagoon.
As for moneygrab, the token sale returns everyone's money if we do not raise enough. The founders' money is locked for 4 years (it would be pretty worthless in 4 years if they don't actually accomplish anything.
Your posts are ignorant and show that you have not been involved in anything related to seasteading (just how I know someone doesn't understand Bitcoin when they call it bit coin) or this project otherwise you would not be making these false claims. Thus your "help" would only consist of trying to get you up to speed and we are literally turning away volunteers every week because so many people are enthusiastic about the project but the time to get them up to speed and lack of new input they have doesn't make it worth it. We only bring in experts in their various fields.
I have no idea where you get the "5 years" thing from. I worked on a project a few years ago consulting for their Internet connectivity, I posted here once when they felt it was time to raise money, but that was a small team. We raised less that $1k and gave the money back when we realized it wasn't going to happen (I put in $10k myself to pay for web development and those glossy pictures...you know, those things that help to put what we are talking about into visual form so people have a better idea of what we are talking about). If you don't like glossy pictures you should read the boring white paper that has no images:
https://www.blue-frontiers.com/whitepaper.pdfEither way, you can blather on the same response and disappear like before about how "I (personally) haven't learned" something or another which you won't tell me (because it's a secret), even though I'm not running this company. Very useful. Thanks for the input. But the project is going through whether you support it or not. The soft cap is almost raised so we'll have a platform in the water which we can then use to pay for more even if we don't hit the hard cap. The token contract is written for all to see (hint: Notice that there's no line in there about moneygrab). The company has been open and transparent with everything even more than most companies will ever be. They've recorded all the meetings over the past year to ensure we have a record of everything. They have paid 3rd party companies to do an economic impact study and an environmental analysis. They are partnered with a company that is literally building floating platforms right now, which is the main thing they will be doing in French Polynesia.
Please, if there is something that I, personally, have not learned about seasteading after being involved for 10 years, after admining the seateading forums reading every person's post (opinion) after being involved in 2 projects where that's all we talk about is seasteading and the challenges we have to face (waves and pirates, I know...
). Please fill me in. Instead of "hint: water/wet". Seriously, thanks to Bitcoin I'm retired living in Tahiti with plenty of time on my hands (though I'm not going to take marine engineering courses like a friend of mine on the project is doing in his spare time).
I suspect that when I am posting from the seastead you will be responding with your "you still haven't learned!" posts. Which is fine. I look forward to it. Some people truly don't ever learn.
