Reply To: special point seasteading – pointless

If we develop seasteading methods for "special shallow spots" it will only be possible at 0,001% of the ocean. The idea of seasteading is settle on the 95% of the blue planet that are "general waterspace not used until now" - this makes special point seasteading somehow pointless. If you can not do it everywhere on the ocean why bother to do it in first place? - anchoring in mid ocean depth is no problem - oil industry is doing it on almost dayly base today - the cost of the anchor rig is only 10% of the structure cost. The idea that it is impossible or extremly expensive comes from obsolete textbooks written 50 years ago.
