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





This is the Atchison Storage Facility
North of Kansas City
100 feet below ground
Carved out of limestone quarry
1.7 million square feet below ground
125 acres above ground
Highway access, rail spur, river access
Average temperature - 69 degrees



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!



Up for bid at gsaauctions.gov
Bidding ends tomorrow
Current bid is $400,000
Bid deposit is 10%

Accepting up to 200 founders
At least 100 founders needed in order to bid
50 BTC each

Deadline for us to join the bid is this afternoon.


As a trusted method of transferring Bitcoins, multi-sig addresses with a single shared key will be used as revocable deposit addresses until the bidding goal is met.

E-mail <coming soon> to request addresses
   Encrypt your e-mail
   Include two (2) new Bitcoin receive addresses
   Include your gpg key

When you e-mail requesting deposit addresses, you will receive two multi-sig addresses which you can revoke as follows:

Send 5 BTC to one revocable address
   Revocable until bid deposit met
   Unrefundable once bid deposit met
Send 45 BTC to the other revocable address
   Revocable until bid accepted
   Unrefundable once bid accepted

$400,000 is pretty cheap.

Don't use BIPS!

Use the Global Village Construction Kit.

Bitcoin Core developer [PGP] Warning: For most, coin loss is a larger risk than coin theft. A disk can die any time. Regularly back up your wallet through FileBackup Wallet to an external storage or the (encrypted!) cloud. Use a separate offline wallet for storing larger amounts.

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.

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.
