Has http://bitcoinisland.org been mentioned yet? Objective - Crowdfunding a private island for Bitcoin 0% Raised So FarThe site looks really cheap, even the photo could be much better.

no problem
1. find small country with financial problems 2. find whale with lotsa btc 3. bring them together
Nooo this is not a same with build a BTC island which is much better idea IMO.

Skorpios would be a good choice but I doubt it's for sale. Bill Gates has shown interest to buy it but it wasn't for sale.

Well is not really only about the place and the price. It is more about people who will do something to make it real. Would all of us just leave their jobs houses and travel to bitcoin island?

Guys we are all throwing ideas here but NO actual research has been done.
Such as: Power - probably photovoltaic farm which means we need an island in an area that has a lot of sunlight during the day cycle. Food - The land must be suitable for plantations and having live stock - which means any island full of poisonous snakes etc, might not be suitable. Internet - That can be covered with satellite internet, but it's expensive so BTC production must be good. Water supply - We need to have drinkable water. Health care - Shit happens you know.... Protection - From outsiders, pirates, thieves, the gov, etc.
and the list goes on.....
Right now we have an idea but it is not properly researched.

Nakamoto Cookie say: He who is not industrious enough to organize a local promotional campaign to get merchants on board mainstream to accepting bitcoin or to even make a splash in his own backyard is clearly talking out his ass about banding together to buy an island where bitcoin is The Way...

You say "anti government" like that's a bad thing...

There has been so much research done on this, millions of dollars worth. http://www.seasteading.org/overview/Buying an island controlled by another nation is no different than http://galtsgulchchile.com/

Instead of an island, crowdfunding for a Noah's Ark ship where it circles around the world picking up bitcoiners along the way, explore the arctic, stop by amazon river mouth, organize bitcoin conferences, it loads with nitrox tanks for adventurous bitcoiners to organize coinsummit on the sea bed of cocos island while observing sharks feeding, pick up some asic rigs from china to mine onboard, etc.

But a ship will be having limited surface area, and won't be having the much needed agricultural / recreational space. Without these the society will be dependent on the outside world.

I guess most ppl don't want to get stuck on something for long time like marriage at least I don't. The idea of such cruise ship is bitcoiners can hop onboard, spend a few weeks or so using bitcoin as currency and leave to another bitcoin ship, or bitcoin islands. You mean like a bitcoin version of Freedom ship?
Freedom ship is too big for its own good, it's like centralization that we try to get away. I guess a medium size catamaran that is able to haul 25 to 50 people should be able to function as society. We can have many of these nimble,agile floating units, and together we can form a caravan of bitcoin floating micronation roaming the pacific together, and hopefully make it together.

Good Christ, another island thread. Let's all pool our Bitcoins and buy an island, or a big boat, or an old oil platform in the ocean or maybe seastead a giant floating dead whale. This forum has salt water on the brain!
