Can you list the items that will make this different than living on a houseboat? Or is that all Seasteading will be... a conglomerative joining of "houseboats" of sorts?

The platform will sit atop this spar.

Yes. We are installing a water maker that creates 60 liters of water per hour.

Do concrete hulled boat-islands get barnacles on their hulls? If they do, do the barnacles make the concrete hulls stronger? Or will they add extra weight that will sink the islands after a while?

Love your idea and specially I love that you actually work on it. So many ended just as an ideas. I found the forum and will monitor progress. It is a bit to much for me right now to gasp everything.

That's the thing. We have no country preventing us from doing something about it.

This is very interesting to me..
I had to read your 2 threads here, some on the 2 forums, and your site before posting..

What are the advantages of a seastead platform over a boat? Is it registration laws?

I have been thinking using a sailboat to travel and live cheaply so I am already interested in being on the ocean but moreso to see interesting places and live happily on a relatively small budget, escape the rat race, than for the purpose of escaping laws. Actually traveling in a sailboat would be inflicting myself to all sorts of terrible laws depending on where I was visiting at the time.

I am behind the idealism of being sovereign but I don't think it would be worth it for me to have to live on a tiny space way out in the water. I think it would get very boring..
What are you going to do out there to stay occupied? Are you planning to do anything profitable out there through the advantage of no laws?
It sounds great being out there governed only by yourself but what are you going to do then? I imagine it would be fun for a minute and then get very boring.

One of these seastead things looks very easy and cheap to build. I already have a few ideas of how to build the spar cheap and easy with used materials.
Why don't you put a buoyant doughnut around your spar and use it to generate energy from the waves?

I like the idea of the spar being float height adjustable by pumping water in and out of it like a submarine. It sounds like a cool way of building a boat lift out in the water for maintenance.

As what I read, and I might be wrong, is because ship is getting moved with ocean currents. So you would need fuel to keep it on same position. This seastead is chained to sea bottom and stays put unless you want to move elsewhere.

Also as I imagine boat bounce way more then this seastead since only spar is in the water. Again I might have no ideas what I am talking about.

How many churches do you plan on having?

Seasteading is a good way to prepare the attitude for community space stations.

A proper PMA (private membership association) is like a seastead on land, right within the governmentally controlled space. Can only be done within a nation, if the nation is a common law land.

    

^^^ Give these guys credit for trying. Lots of people have started their own, tiny countries. Most of them don't even realize what they are really doing. All they really want is to be left alone. Hitler, on the other hand, recognized a flaw in the government of his day, and took advantage of the flaw by taking over the nation.

Most people who come to the USA from civil law countries, can't imagine why or how the USA can keep on going... to say nothing about how it could be made better. They simply like it as it is, and usually stay. The few who leave do so because they don't realize how easy it is to make the country better.
