Ya, I really wanted them to go ahead with the main sale. They decided that since it would be a while before they had anything concrete in French Polynesia it was disingenuous to move ahead with the sale. You'd basically be buying tokens that may never be used. But they're still working on getting things going. I visited the atoll they're considering and it's perfect for a seastead.

They're still distributing varyon. It's just not currently tied to anything since they don't have a location to build anything.

If you have a Bitcoin address linked to your account you can send Theymos a signed message from that address.

Worshiping at the alter of central governments...the new religion.

Ya...when I lived in Florida I became so frustrated that I figured I would never buy another boat with just one motor. I finally just gave up and bought a kayak. My favorite boat of them all.

I'm pretty sure that would not be allowed.

I don't know the exact wording. Probably something like "by order of the king, no jet skis are allowed within 10 nautical miles of national parks...due to reasons".

Way off topic but maybe Ibian or any other boat owners will know the answer...

I will be living on a seastead in a few months...about 15nm out to sea. The water is relatively calm here (mean wave height of about 1-2 feet). But of course throughout the year it could get up to 6-7 feet. The seastead design is capable of handling 15 feet waves so no problem.

My question is about my commuter boat. I just had to take Jet Ski off of my potential boats list because it is not allowed on the nearest island (where I would go to grab groceries and grab a bite).

I'm leaning toward a whaly dinghy like this:


This would be good because I could pull the outboard and hang that from the side of the seastead (likely could not keep a whole boat out of the water unless it is super light) and the boat could bounce around in any storm and be fine, even flipped upside down.

The worry I have is the ride on the open sea in a dinghy. I've been in a small dinghy in about 2-3 foot waves and it would not be a pleasant drive for 15 nm.

I could get something bigger I think I need to keep the criteria that the boat can flip over and not be that bad off (like if I wait until morning to come out and flip it back over).

I will have 3 mooring balls around the seastead far enough away for about a 20-30 foot boat.

Any suggestions?

I asked this on a boater forum only to be attacked for the concept of seasteading and the whole "you're gonna die!! zOMGz!! or <insert seastead jokes here>". No constructive assistance at all. The seastead builder is suggesting I just get a big boat...that it won't flip.

And no...there are no hurricanes/typhoons here.

Why is the EU trying to prevent the airplanes of one nation entering its countries? Perhaps more countries should refuse to fly there if they are excluding national aviation authorities. Such sanctions should not be tolerated internationally.

NVM...price back up $3. Bear market is over. Moon?

Price is down $3...can anyone explain this move? Any walls observed for such a huge change in price?

Volatility index is currently at 1.4%. In 2015 and 2016 it got down to .8% before the price started moving upward. I think if we keep similar prices for another week we will see close to 0% volatility over 30 days. October 3rd we were at around $6400.

Overpopulation...on land...

That's just funny right there. I don't care who you are.

Thanks for the hat.

I was at dinner tonight with someone from europe and someone from thailand.

When referring to the price of something I used the price in bitcoin and everyone was able to understand easier than had I converted it to one of our home currencies.

Awesome. Thank you for actually doing work on Namecoin.

Very cool. I added the plugin to my chrome browser and finally got to my first .bit website (http://nayuki.bit).

As for the price on WEX...I had 21k NMC on there which they were likely using to allow withdrawals in NMC. I finally got my account back and took 14k NMC off of there so their supply went down quite a bit. I still bave 7k NMEC which is losing value (also likely due to more limited supply). In theory they are supposed to convert NMEC to NMC next year at full value.

Not in your safe, not your gold.

And yes, Blue Frontiers is not going forward with the main sale unfortunately. French Polynesia is dragging their feet on giving us a location.

In the mean time I've moved onto another project with a smaller team building something here in Thailand. It's almost done and we plan on having something in the water in January.

No need for investors as we are all early adopters.

We will be selling these things once we've proven that they are safe.

Not publicizing anything due to lessons learned in Tahiti. The only people we care to give information to are those that actually want to have their own seastead.

There won't be any spam attacks on the mempool until Bitcoin Ultra Super chain is proposed with major extra turbo block size.

If it helps the euphemism...it was some spicy Thai soup.

Meh, I would consider it. I dropped my phone in soup and ever since it randomly complains about moisture in the USB port. Very annoying as it randomly won't let me charge it.

The separate location for wallets is ok. Breadwallet does this but breadwallet doesn't let you set your transaction fee.

Not sure about Theymos but I will likely be living on a seastead in the next 3 months or so.
