Let's Build a Town, Bitcoin Town

[FinShaggy]

How is the progress on this?

Any new updates recently?

My brother died so things have been hindered. Bu progress is being made, just not leaps and bounds as expected.

Over the next month we will be getting the rest of the 180+ descriptive town videos up, so that you can get a general idea of what will go on in the town. And we will make 1-2 hour segments, that will come together to make a 3-8 hour documentary talking about all the aspects of what we will be doing.

So you can look forward to that over the next month, it would have had massive progress starting around the 14th (that's when it was planned), but my brother died on the 4th. And we just now got his ashes today.

We are starting the Bitcoin Town Library though, it will start with a paid xbox gaming clan, and paid writing.

This sounds more like a cult than a town. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonestown

"on November 18, 1978, 918 people died in the settlement, at a nearby airstrip,"

That's scary. the idea of BTC is decentralized with the network. Amassing a large group of people together in the name of BTC is ridiculous.

What's scary is one person deciding that an entire town needs to "protect, promote & repair" your mental health, is already dictating what kind of house you'll live in, what types of food you'll eat, what kind of crops and livestock you'll raise, how you'll congregate for worship, and how you'll go about hiring any labor for personal work.

What's even scarier is that some people think this is a good idea.

Wrong.

If you had paid attention, you would know that those things are only provided for you if you elect free welfare. Your land is your land.

finshaggy, you have just revealed to the whole bitcoin community that you cant even look after yourself.. in the off topic thread. so why even bother continuing with the delusion that you have what it takes to lead this project.

get out of the delusions, enter reality. sort yourself out. look at what is required beyond your dreams of the end result. and then go visit new hampshire and do some indepth research before you even try to put a price on your next delusion.

why oh why is it always the psychotic drug fuelled idiots that think they have what it takes to make a bitcoin town/island...

Lol, have fun watching the next few months. And how am I not taken care of? The problem is that I am not acknowledged. It has nothing to do with being able to handle myself, and I am remedying the dis-acknowledgement even with this very discussion.

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.

It's not missing ANY of that. Please try paying better attention.

You know what, I do pay pretty good attention when someone is trying to get something off the ground but I've lost all desire to give you the benefit of the doubt.

Good luck with the social, economic and legal issues that you face.

it would be awesome

I wish you luck, I haven't seen this kind of thread since Art Bell retired.

This community should let finshaggy gather as much material as he can, then when the project is ready to start we should find someone competent to actually start the town.

Potheads don't complete large projects like this.  They are just dreamers.

I actually encourage others to create towns of their own like mine.
But I will get this done, this town is for my dead brother, so all I have to say is "Fuck ye of little faith".

"Fuck ye and ye dead brother".   

Let me know if you want to place a bitcoin wager.  This will never be completed.

Did you just really bring up my brother that died 2 weeks ago. Fuck you. And have fun with whatever karma has waiting for you.

Nope.  You brought him up.  Karma doesn't exist.

I meant in a negative manner. And yes, karma exists. Put shit into the world, get shit out/

This thread is derailed and was a dumb idea from the beginning.

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.

I think its most fundamental to start any project with how you want it to function. You don't build a town for the sake of building it, you build it because of the ideas and concepts that motivate you to build such a town . You don't build a spaceship to the moon if you didn't have the idea/dream of going to the moon in the first place, who would be motivated enough to build such technology without dreams, however far-fetched they seem.

This whole thread reminds me of ramblings of a slightly mental individual with a massive unmedicated ADHD problem.

ADHD? a person that is not sedentary, bursting with constant energy? Spare me the bullshit about attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, that ain't no disorder, its simply something society can't handle.
