The old Bitcoin Town thread ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=216139.0 ) got cluttered (over 30 pages, with tons of trolling). So I think it's about time to start a new one.

(This is only 1/6 of the towns plans, more will be posted over this month)


The mission of the town is: Freedom, as guaranteed by the constitution of America
Plans are to have a size of land between 600 acres and 6000+ acres by sometime in 2015

Due to recent happenings. Bitcoin town will work to protect, promote & repair the mental health of any willing citizens:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=222772.msg2341610#msg2341610

And we will work to be at the forefront of Neurogenesis and Synaptogenesis research.

Promotes Neural Repair
Vitamin C
Folic Acid
B6 & B12
Vitamin E
Ginger
Omega 3

Promotes Neurogenesis
CBD/CBN
MAOIs (Syrian Rue, Anti-Depressants, etc)
Flavonoids(Blueberries, Chocolate, etc)
EGCG(Green Tea)
Ashitaba
Piracetam and other AMPAs

Promotes General Brain Health
Coconut Oil
Raw Cannabis Leaf Juice

Promotes general brain health, and helps in the process of Neurogenesis
Zinc
Vitamin A

Helps things cross the blood brain barrier
Mangos

All you need to start a town is 51% of the people's vote, and a written constitution or some other founding document. If we invest in our own town we can be the founders, and with BTC it will make it easier for us to come together from around the world to get this done. As well as not worry about paying taxes as long as we don't exchange cash (we have a way to do this that will be explained only to people who are very interested in supporting the town). And we could have the elected town leaders & business hubs pay federal taxes and do all our fiat exchanges for us, so that our "no tax town" system is viable.

And you only need 6 acres of people to agree... So I looked online and there are patches of land that are 600 acres (nearly 1 square mile. As well as much larger plots.) for sale in New Mexico. If 200 people each put in $10,000 (or equivalent in BTC) the property would be ours (I think this could be accomplished in 1 year). And at that point we could start using the land to farm and produce things and anyone who could afford a house or an Earthship could start building, while anyone else can rent their land out to earn money, or sell it (we will all come together and vote on what the land can and cannot be used for during this time) and once we have some communal money we can help people build Earthships and start working on Solar power and getting a super solid internet connection. Then we could start building FPGAs and ASICs, while we farm and produce what we can.

I feel New Mexico would be the best place to start something like this for a few reasons:

1. Billy the Kid ran out the Illuminati by starting a war against the corrupt "Justice System" where the people were literally shooting at cops.

2. the Freemasons messed up with their farming methods which was the reason for the "dust bowl". So all the people that would oppose Bitcoin are gone (central bankers and such).

3. Land is cheap in New Mexico.

4. It is a good place for affordable "Earthship" living, and could easily accommodate regular housing as well.

5. Tons of sun all year round, so we could try to start the community with some solar power, and work towards making it all solar powered. And anyone who wanted to farm could.

6. In New Mexico you don't have to pay taxes on most food trade anyways.
 

Once the town got started we would buy a some tractors, and use them to build better roads and farm better. Then we can start opening gift shops and things like that, and eventually work on starting our own franchises, or bringing a few to town and accepting bitcoin.

But we could make it a town where no one pays taxes, and the "town government" is nothing but a service.

We will be attempting to start a restaurant, so that the town has a good place to eat and food supply ready to move in right when we get there Smiley
If we can't start the restaurant before the town, we will start it IN town once we have a small community.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=217610.msg2288125#msg2288125
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxuPoed0H7E

The things that we plan to have on the menu so far are these:

Pancakes
Eggs/Omelets
Burgers (REAL ones, not like McDonalds)
Funnel Cake
French Fries
Carne Asada
Burritos (and every other variation of tortilla and contents, which means chips and salsa too)
Noodles
Sandwhiches
A Salad Bar
And anyone involved's "specialty"

And, we are going to work together with the environment to create the ideal natural living conditions. There will be an eco-council that watches the flora and fauna each year, and they will release a decided number of certain animals and plants, then the next year they will see if anything new needs to be done to balance the eco system.

Ex:
Buy and eventually breed drangonfly eggs to be released into town ponds, to eat mosquitos and similar pests, while adding to the "enchantment" of New Mexico.

Breed and release free-range Guinea Chickens, for eggs. Also for their "watch dog" qualities, as in, Guinea chickens will alert you when someone that is not from the neighborhood, or a new animal is around. They also eat ants, TICKS & spiders. So they are pretty good animals to have around.

Put up bat houses to attract bats, as well as bird houses to attract birds. And fruit trees (and cactuses like "saguaro", which grow to be over 50 foot tall and live longer than humans) that grow well in New Mexico (like Pears, Apples & Peaches) to feed them, and so that public workers can collect food to be distributed. Bat guano can also be collected for many uses, including fertilizer. And both animals eat bugs that are pests.

We will have a rabbit farm to feed both humans and any pets, while providing fertilizer.

This is just a few of the ideas that will be presented in the videos soon, so that we can live in a near perfect eco-system. And we can sell the eggs from the dragonflies and chickens, as well as the guano from the bats and the fruit from the trees, on the internet and at market.

For the people that could not afford their own house, this is the kind of house we would be building as public work (public work is for people who need money).

They are called EarthShips





The outline of an Earthship is made with old tires for insulation. The tires are framed with wood, and filled with concrete, some people fill the tires with soda cans or dirt, then concrete. Then some people put soda cans on the outside of the tires in the concrete also.





There are many benefits of Earthship living



We will also offer publicly built Geodomes for greenhouses and living.



We will also offer trailers to bury and use as basements, or use above ground as housing:


We will also add "cobb" extentions to each house, using what we dig up when making basements.
Cob is fire & Earthquake resistant.

Earthships are built east to west, with the glass facing the sun rise, and usually they try to use the dirt to make a small hill facing the sunset, which is where the rainwater collection chamber usually is. But reading about Cob material, I'm thinking we can just use the sandy ground in New Mexico, dig until we hit clay or buy some, then grow some canary reed to use as straw (grows very quickly). Then just add water and we can make an extension to each house, instead of a hill facing the sunset.

It will be practical, because we plan on getting trailers to bury and use as basements (so everyone has room for mining machines), so we will probably get a backhoe to dig holes, and will have plenty of raw dirt/sand.

People could also choose to have no Earthship, but it would be good to have at least one room designed like an Earthship, just because they are like massively insulative, so if there were ever a rare cold New Mexico day, a small fire could be made (or small heater plugged in) and heat the room effectively.





We will also use Adobe to make cheap, sturdy frames for the houses. It is similar to cob, and cob can be used as mortar and on the outside and inside to make the walls flat.






And our EarthShips will be different than most:

1. Each person will have at least three acres, so we won't be making small ones.

2. Geodomes outside will be used as green houses, making more room in the larger EarthShips

3. Trailers will be used to make basements, allowing for WAY more space.


And again, an outside company will be contracted for regular building, these will just be built for anyone that wants publically built housing.
You only get a Cobb/Earthship/Geodome if you want a FREE house Smiley


The free market will still be there. "Town work" will just be posted on bulletin boards or the internet, the whole point is just to have the town approve it so that the workers are paid by the town (if you can't afford to hire your own people), and people in town can earn some money.

Some people won't be moving to the land they buy, so we will have some plots that are rented out for maintenance or cash (by people that want to live in town but can't afford $10,000 for a plot, or by young people who get their parents to get them a place in town or something) by the owner, and those people will most likely be looking to the bulletin boards for work all the time.

And if you wanted to hire someone yourself from around town, that wouldn't be a problem at all. As long as you paid them with your money.

Also, we will be digging wells all over the land, so everyone cross your fingers for oil when we're looking for water. And we have a professional dowser who can find water for us Smiley As well as a Geologist/Engineer who could tell us if oil is possibly nearby, and appraise any minerals we find Smiley

I'm for something like the Free State Project, but out west.

Unfortunately, the OP sounds more interested in trying to creating his own little statist kingdom.

I'm grumpy!!

Is that the longest OP ever?

Anyway, I think we could model it after the Free State Project, with more focus on generating an economy.

What is the free state project?

We would have a town government to handle any necessary funds, but everything gets voted on my everyone. And yes bitcoin would be accepted.

What is the free state project?

proof you don't have a clue about fundamentals required, or gone deeper into research apart from page one google searches of final designs for buildings. its good you show final design eco houses but you have no clue about land permits, laws, utility company, sewerage requirements of a town.

this is not a troll, you just hate seeing everyone see through your lack of credibility and think ignoring people and starting a new thread will somehow make people believe you more.

200 scientists this time concentrating on Neurogenesis and Synaptogenesis research. last time it was 200 creative people like entrepreneurs, writers, artists, programmers.

still ignoring the fundamentals of requiring shop workers, chef's for your restaurant.. oops i mean fast food establishment... oops i mean cyber cafe..

repairmen, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, construction workers, police, lawyers, judges, teachers.

oh and if 200 are now scientists instead of creative people.. that is still the personality type not desiring manual labour. so don't pull the wool over peoples eyes that the 200 people will do it all themselves. as they have their own scientific interests that come first.

stop brain farting wet dreams. and stand away from the computer for just one day. and construct your idea's from behind the scenes of the fundamentals.. and stop spouting out the glittering neon signs of the final design.

many have told you about freestate project before yet you ignore it.

You make some great points.

The energy and excitement is all very good for driving the project but as frank1 points out, it's missing a lot of social, economic and legal sophistication suggesting a degree of naivety.

If you built a team of people to support your project you'd get much further.

Maybe a lawyer, a sociologist, an architect, nutritionist, a farmer etc.

If this post was useful, interesting or entertaining, then you've misunderstood.

CO is the LAST PLACE ON EARTH I would want to move...for various and sundry reasons.  Look at what the state government has recently passed if you don't already know.

A town of 200 isn't going to cut it, period.  It's going to be far larger than that and 600 acres isn't a dent in what you are going to need.  You're going to need 5-6000 MOTIVATED people to give the finger to the US/State government and pull a Galt's Gulch (read Atlas Shrugged) to pull this off, minimum and doing it all via bitcoin isn't going to work unless they were ALL early adopters or were independently wealthy to start with.

Sorry, again, not a troll but trying to give you an idea of what REALLY needs to be done to make this happen.  Even the earth architecture takes non-recyclables that cost a LOT of...something to get going.

Sorry, again, not a troll but trying to give you an idea of what REALLY needs to be done to make this happen.  Even the earth architecture takes non-recyclables that cost a LOT of...something to get going.

Maybe the OP doesn't, but the Free State Project already exists in NH, and has made a big difference.

I think a small town in the San Juan mountains of Colorado would be a great place to do a "western FSP".

I'm grumpy!!

I stopped reading when i saw this at the start of your post:

"Due to recent happenings. Bitcoin town will work to protect, promote & repair the mental health of any willing citizens:"

Why are you talking about details that have nothing to do with building/ organising a bitcoin town?
I am completely uninterested in any 3rd party that feels the need to "repair my mental health", and i don't think that should be the primary focus of anyone that wants to start a "bitcoin" town.

If you are serious about this, start with general plans about your economy, what special measures you would take to make your town bitcoin friendly and look for a bunch of people that are interested in the idea. Hell, even the shape of the houses you will be building is not important at the moment. Not everyone wants to live in a house made of tyres and glass bottles. Personally, i wouldn't mind, but by mentioning that completely irrelevant detail, you scare away half of your readers.

Start with the basics, build a community and evaluate your options. Once you got enough people that are commited to the project, you can start discussing the details, not the other way around.

Nice idea, Sloppy execution. Wink

This is probably illegal, and if not, it will be.

Despite this (more like in spite), I think it's an awesome idea, and ultimately the most powerful means for establishing a free society (maybe I'm getting a little carried away?). More people should get involved. I'll send this thread to everyone I know who'd be interested.

Cheers!

The whole part about neurogenesis is pretty strange though. Why are you focusing on that as one of the first issues? Also, your list of supplements isn't very well thought out to begin with (I'm actually finishing a bachelors in Neuroscience, and about to start applying to PhD programs).

Fuck the US. why don't we just start a squatters town in BC Canada on Crown Land? England doesn't use or need that land and if someone doesn't develop it, it will be lost to the oil and gas industry. The town could start out small. Like a handful of people starting a farm. Most aspects including government, economics, social infrastructure etc. would have to be discussed locally and decisions could not be made until the town was established and people were actively contributing. There is TONS of water in BC. The land is fertile. Operate under common law, and if disagreements ensued, which they probably will. People will be free to start their own squatter's town.

Something like this does not need to be some giant project that costs a lot of $$$. Think about how long it took BTC to get as big as it has, which is still relatively small. And how small it was when it began. A BTC town will take a while but a GREAT idea nonetheless. As members of the community i think we should continue to keep an open mind about this and the possibilities involved.

Thanks OP for the post.

Why do we even have to have Bitcoin Town on land? All land belongs to somebdy.

Why not buy a cruise ship instead? Or one of those seasteading projects?

Before anything. The main thing an new town requires is food, then maybe shelter, although food is the priority.

Thing is, I find it really interesting to see the contrast of requiring high-speed internet, as well as farms for food.
