Tidal & wind power for electricity? It'll work!

What about a Crypto-currency floating datacenter?  

Something like what google is up to. Vip would have their own lounge area while drifting in international waters hiding from pirates.

Bitcoin should buy a cruise ship and install a datacenter.

If you did buy it and make bitcoin the national currency, would bitcoin then have to be treated like a currency by governments?

No. Other countries would have to recognize an island full of eccentric weirdos as a legitimate nation, which they won't do.

If enough of Cyprus were purchased and the government controlled, it's possible. IIRC, the international community's more sympathetic toward the Greek side.

I have a better suggestion. Let's bribe some warlord in Somaliland or Puntland or some other Somali breakaway region and offer him a few tens of thousands of Bitcoins. All we need is a few thousand square kilometers of sovereign territory with sea coast. And Somali land is cheap, as most of it is desert or semi-desert.

Neither Puntland (which I think very recently severed ties with the federal government) nor Somaliland are internationally recognized as legitimate governments. They have the status of someone claiming their backyard as the New Federal Republic of Awesomistan. You'd have to buy Puntland or Somaliland from Somalia, then bribe the warlords.

I like the idea I am promoting something similar in my country tough I know it will be very difficult, if only I were an early adopter... I could have bribed it by now: http://www.liberocomune.it/en/index.xhtml

I'm in. Though I think Cyprus might be not only more welcoming and spacious, but maybe a bit warmer?

I can't believe this. Are you serious?

Anyway I am not going to Cyprus ever again in my life. Who knows what they will do next? May be they will seize your Bitcoins and take a haircut out of it.

A floating one would be nice. Take a look at this old WWII stuff:
