Looks like a nice place. Are those < 600 friendly or blood thirsty? The Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl lived there with his wife for a while. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatu_Hiva_(book) Edit 3: Are we trying to create the Matrix here? I know I have mentioned this before but....
That'd be cool. But I'm thinking more of a "real world" digital nation. I mean, why not? The digital revolution is already all over us! Yeah, but fuck the UN. Still, since we have some money the Nauru government will totally cooperate. (Nauru doesn't really have any money)
No country will allow unlimited immigration to the point that the natives become only a fraction of the population. Already in Nauru, only around 60% of the population is native. That is true, and even if we don't give a fuck about the government it's still immoral. Can't we just take some uninhabited island somewhere and build our nation there? |

What I don't want with Blackberry phones is they don't have much apps just like with Android phones.  But how many apps do you need on the other hand? |

I'd contribute too! And who cares about the amazonian tribe that would cross it? They are closer to animals than to us, wasteful and destructive civilized humans  Of course that tribe would still have the right to live there however they'd like! |

Another experiment I want in my mind is too create a very powerful supercomputer that could simulate all atoms in planet earth and the solar system.
The simulation start at early part of planet earth when it has no life yet.
This experiment is like creating a virtual reality of our planet earth. It has an option to be fast forward the simulation or go back from any part of the simulation and change something on that simulated time.
I'm really curious life could be form from this simulated planet and it would become as advance as humankind.
There would be lots of benefits in this project like if life could start from nothing. What would like on other alien planets. Intelligent life can be produced from this simulated planet numerous technologies can be harvest and other very important knowledge about life and civilizations.
That would be really interesting. I've had similar ideas myself. that's brutal
who would accept to be a part of such an experiment?
None. That's why it's hypothetical. |

If I donate to such Island, would i get my own plot from the start ?  No. Such an island is not possible to build. Every square inch of the earth (not only the land, but the oceans also) is currently claimed by some UN nation. They will not allow the creation of a Bitcoin island. The only option for Bitcoiners is to migrate to some less populated nation like Nauru, and take it over. But international law prevents such a takeover. Yeah, but fuck the UN. Still, since we have some money the Nauru government will totally cooperate. (Nauru doesn't really have any money) |

Why not try one of your sons. I'm 100 persent sure they will create religion and tribes. The must be big enough as Easter Island. At least 200 participants 100 boys and 100 girls taught with basic survival to the island. 20 years is too short give them 100 years. You will be surprise how a modern man will become a primitive in a few years.
Try on my own son?! This thread is purely hypothetical. And the point with the experiment would be that the inhabitants would not be taught how to live. They would not know of the outside world. That's why it has to be children. |

It's sickening how little funds NASA gets. Instead of all these "country" coins people should make coins that donate a percentage to NASA or other scientific platforms that lack the funds they need.
Ooooor, the US Government could give their military funding to NASA! |

I don't know how to buy it, but I'd totally contribute with some btc for purchasing a few hectares if we had someone trustworthy that would take care of the money.

You don't really need a physical land, it will be stupid to rebuild it from scratch. You only need a virtual land attached to the physical world, which makes the physical world a sub-set of this virtual land (the physical world have very limited freedom, maximum 4 dimension, but a virtual world can have unlimited dimension)
Any country's financial system on this planet is only a sub-set of bitcoin network
Do you mean like a virtual country? A digital nation? If that is possible it sounds like a really cool idea! It already exists but not with BTC, instead it's Linden Dollars. It's called second life. Personally I tried it once and found it stupid, but it's a good base start. No, I'm not thinking of a game. I'm thinking of an actual self-declared digital nation! With its servers placed on international territory or something. That would be really cool. |

Sounds like Lord of the Flies
Yeah, I got the idea when I was reading that book. But in this scenario the children won't even know about the outside world. They will think that the world consists of that island and a lot of water. |

Pump and dumping (unethical, yes, but hey is money)
PROdice seems to offer a nice ROI, idk if ponzi or no
btc arbs (arbritage) offers anywhere from .1 -5% DAILY interest on investment.
bitfinex allows you to lend money for ridiculously high interest rates (30% anyone?)
speculative investing/mining
All of those are high risk operations, and could make you end up without any money at all. |

Im sure alienware laptops would be good for alt coin mining, what do you guys think about that one
Depends on the GPU and the cooling system. |

ignoring the iou and premine part of ripple
just the XRP bit of it, is that a perfectly good crypto? I.e you can send XRP to any one as you can BTC, its not centralised, doesnt require mining
is this right...
what is the algo they use to do this, how does the consensus work....it seems fast.
who decides who gets on the UNL....
seems that a whole load of servers couls sit there and ban out the other servers saying the yare not on the UNL and rewrite what the wish, so a 51% by server....or something similar
As far as I know their servers are still centralized? |

You could try to compile it, haha?

I had this idea, and it's just hypothetically, quite inhumane:
Why don't we place a few persons on an deserted island far from civilization. The islanders will consist of a few number of really small children and a few grown-ups divided between different villages.
The grown-ups will teach the children survival stuff and such things, and when the children are capable of surviving on their own the grown ups will leave the island and let the children take over.
Let us now move twenty years forward. What will life be like there? Will there be any survivors? Religions? Tribes?
What do you think would happen?

I emailed Greenpeace about it a while ago. At that point they were not interested in adopting it.
Did they say why? I'm afraid they didn't. |

Buy an ASIC miner or a cloud mining contract! If you go with ASIC, be aware that the shipments might be very delayed.
