this part of the project also seeks to address the Sovereignty question and how tribal Sovereignty can be used to safeguard bitcoin technology and foster it's future growth. look at start ups like Bitinstant, Bitfloor and other exchanges and services that had good services, good aspirations, and good people behind the wheel...but were stopped due to federal regulations and state interference because of misinformation and pressure from the Fiat based banking community. Had a start up like Bitfloor partnered with a Native american tribe, the tribe could have hosted their servers or even helped run a brick and mortar exchange under Tribal Unified Commercial Codes and insulated them from crippling federal regulations...kinda like how places like costa rica host Online Poker sites due to it's international Sovereignty...only in this case you can drive to South Dakota.
Regarding a sovereign nation operating a bitcoin exchange in the U.S.:
1. Is a sovereign nation required to follow AML/KYC regulations?
2. Is a sovereign nation required to apply for an MSB license for each state?
3. Any other legal hurdles I haven't thought of?
I'm Lakota like Payu, and I want to see a bitcoin exchange operating on sovereign territory ASAP.
