I also think franky1 is being excessively negative. That said, his concerns should be addressed - they strike me a likely having a kernel of validity.
BTAIM, all any of us have to add to this great experiment is our personal expertise. If you don't know computer code, but you live and breathe building codes, I don't see why what you have to suggest
should be ignored out-of-hand would not be of benefit to the community. (edit)
Couple thoughts:
To maintain the presence of the bitcoin, you could invite bitcoin related companies/enterprises to operate there ,
There is some synergy in having aligned businesses (e.g. all using bitcoin) in close physical proximity. However, it is not clear to me that this is a make-or-break advantage. Indeed, it would be located within some larger political construct (state), which might cause its centralized nature to be a liability rather than an asset.
create something you can't have in an established city, even if its abandoned but to be honest the only abandoned cities you're going to find are pre 21st century towns in the center of nowhere,
I guess you are unaware of the number of vast urban ghost towns built in China in the last few years?
it wouldnt really save you an awful lot of money because you still have to add infrastructure, modern sewage processing, storm water pits/piping, electricity generation/connection ,etc .
? stuff that existing developments already have!?!?!
Then there's the dilemma of internet. buildings are cheap, its what makes a building habitable that actually costs money.
The cost of running Cat6e - or even fiber - is negligible compared to building a city from scratch.
i can tell you now if you refit an old town its going to cost you alot more unless you are incredibly lucky and find a place that has everything already in place and its merely cosmetic work required.
Well, my expertise is not in building trades. I will need to defer to the knowledge of someone in that line of work. However, that assertion seems to me to be rather ludicrous. Can you provide examples? Perhaps a rough budgetary breakdown spreadsheet comparing the two alternatives, with accompanying text describing the assumptions that led to the estimates?
