The Real Pirates Of Silicon Valley?
ArcticStartup recently broke the news about an ambitious seasteading endeavor called Blueseed started by Silicon Valley founders Max Marty and Dario Mutabdzija. The post came shortly after Max pitched the idea (embedded below) at JumpStartDays on October 17th, in which he received a huge round of applause.Seasteading isn't a new idea. Other than pirates, one of the first well known attempts at seasteading was the data haven called HavenCo that was located on a sea platform off the coast of England. The sea platform was its own country called Sealand, with its own passports, currency, etc. The project was a direct result of restrictive laws around online gambling. But instead of gambling, Blueseed is taking the issues around not being able to get H1B immigration visas.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/D56KEcz0TRc/
