Greetings fellow one day to be seasteaders!

Nicolas from France. I used to frequent the old seasteading site and have always felt a warm feeling inside at the idea of floating independent societies. Essentially floating city states for all intents and purposes.

I should be moving to New Hampshire in a couple months as part of the Free State Project, but this is only the first step toward a freer environment for me.

My main motivation for even looking into this drastically different, unproven, potentially dangerous lifestyle, is that, like most of you I suppose, I realized 4 things:

• I am not happy with any of the current political systems in existence
• I understand that I can't do anything about it on my own
• Traditional within-the-system or against-the-system approaches have and will fail
• The vast majority of people out there are reasonably happy with the way things are

So here I am, looking for a realistic way to effect political change in my life... mostly bypassing the system.

My skill list is rather short when it comes to seasteading. I am a web developer/entrepreneur by trade and only need a reliable infrastructure* on the seastead, descent (but ultra reliable) internet connection and reasonable shipping/transportation options to and from the seastead.

* I need some level of confort sorry. I want my big plasma screen, a hot shower, hassle free toilets, stuff to cook and lights I can leave on all night if needed. If the seastead can't supply me with what I consider basic home comfort features.. then I'll skip version 1. Sounds like I'm not tough enough? Not adventurous enough? I guess we all have our standards.. but it hasn't become so bad out there that I am willing to go out on a dangerous extended camping trip on the high seas.

I am interested in minarchism/ancap... essentially live and let live with Austrian economics as my guide.

What can I bring to the community? Good question... apart from ideas (which I am quite certain isn't of short supply here) and money, not much. Honesty usually hurts doesn't it?

Finally, I am financially independent, debt free and I can move to and buy real estate on the seastead tomorrow.
