democratic goverment of the Internet

Sorry you lost me on that one hoss. I have no interest in joining a government or a democracy just for the hell of it. Thats my problem with wirtland. The whole idea of making a nation for libertarians conflicts with the idea that most libertarians hold that is the individual sovereign. Maybe if it could be used as a means to an end, but not for the hell of it.

I understand how you might not be interested, but it wasn't proposed "just for the hell of it", but rather to decide relevant group standards and allow them to submit disputes to binding arbitration. This would be used for things that matter, such as contract enforcement, not trivialities. This concept is no more arbitrary than Bitcoin is arbitrary. You as a sovereign individual can pretend that your notion of value is what matters, and that's fine, but look what happens when a group of people voluntarily decide on a shared notion of value -- that is Bitcoin, and it is not a waste of time!
