Come spend a few days camping out and testing the technologies to be used to colonize Bitcoin Island. When: July 18th-20th Where: Outside Tulsa Cost: 3 BTC total, 0.5 BTC non-refundable deposit Registration Deadline: July 10th This "dry run" event will take place in a controlled environment, near a large city. But you should be physically prepared for a realistic experience. This will include working in hot (100°+) temperatures to construct temporary shelter. Meals are included. You will need to bring a tent and a sleeping pad or hammock, along with a swimsuit, boots and suitable clothes for 3 days / 2 nights. Participation is limited. You will be asked to sign a non-disclosure / limited non-compete agreement. ( Stupidity in this thread will be deleted.) |

Is it ok to ask why it costs so much?

Part will be used for food, part for supplies, part because it's a nice round number. I'm only looking for people who are seriously interested, and so far that's the going market rate. |

When you say technologies, what do you mean?
Also, isn't an NDA/non-compete against the open nature of Bitcoin?
No-one begrudges a Bitcoin business it's proprietary business methods but Bitcoin Island seems to be about building a new society that uses Bitcoin at it's core; one that embraces it's openness.

Physical technologies will be disclosed once the island is settled. Information technologies some time after that.

Is this proprietary technology that people will need to buy to 'settle' in the community you're building? |

There is something ever so slightly 'run for profit, lots of it' about this. 3 BTC to stay on some land, in a tent to learn about some tech?

No one has to be a troll. Just provide more details that would entice people for this opportunity. Shouldn't be a problem if you're serious, OP.

we should invite people to a bitcoin island and make some kinds of survival reality game show sponsored by bitcoin services. For example, there could be a stage that participants have to play satoshidice (if they are one of the sponsors), losing their pants and shirts if broke, whoever tripple their capitals are to proceed to the next stage, etc, and broadcast the show on internet.

Just to make it explicitly clear, if you quote from deleted posts made by the one person in this thread who obviously has no idea what this thread is about, who (due to his apparent status as an "investor") refuses to do even basic research into the Bitcoin Island project, and who continues to ask stupid questions like asking me to "verify my involvement" in this project, your posts will also be deleted with prejudice. There is something ever so slightly 'run for profit, lots of it' about this. 3 BTC to stay on some land, in a tent to learn about some tech?
At the moment, there is a limit of 10 participants. If you think 30 BTC is "lots of profit," I'm not sure what to tell you other than "move out of your parents' basement." |

I have a lot more questions about this project but I get the feeling my questions aren't going to be answered so I'll gracefully leave this thread. If I can't ascertain whether OP's intent is good or not I can't in good conscience pretend that it's a good idea. For anyone else still on this thread, good luck but make sure you do your due diligence. |

This is technology that makes Bitcoin Island possible, yes. This is the most recent thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=183045.0 |

This is a great idea and I hope it is properly documented in video form.

I'm trying to figure out what Tulsa OK has to do with an island, anywhere.
Oklahoma is a bit flat, fairly dry and not known for it's island like climate. How this would have any connection to a "Bitcoin Island" anywhere on Earth is a bit of a mystery.

In middle of nowhere, far from civilization and comfortable living. Plus it is likely that OP lives near there or owns the site, hence the location. I have looked into island rentals. They would cost much more than the 30 BTC being collected. |

Hmm.. 0.5 BTC non refundable whys that?
Sounds really fishy to me..
And the "experiance" sounds completely retarded and not intising for anyone to join.
I mean who wants to pay 3 bitcoins to go to some place and meet some strangers just to set up a tent and learn about "colonizing a bitcoin island"
Im not sure if this OP is even being serious, but if he is gotta be on the top 10 list of all time scam fails.

If any non-sockpuppet actually pays the $350 without more information given, please notify me. I still have the bridges. |
