Logistics - Transporting residents to remote ocean seasteads
By: akjdg Remote seastead locations (doldrums, pacific garbage patch, etc) will be several days' sail from major ports. This may dissuade many prospective residents. More rapid transport necessitates air travel. Can commercial helicopters reach these destinations? Will these remote seasteads have infrastructure to receive fixed wing aircraft? Comments (2)

Business Model: Fuel depot
By: atymes As already noted in the book, cruise ships have range limited by supplies, but they otherwise approximate temporary seasteading. So, how about a mid-ocean depot for cruise ships, where they can pick up fuel (delivered by tankers who may be en route to main ports) and food (ditto, and perhaps on-site aquaculture can help)? This might be small enough for an early stage Coaststead, or perhaps Seastead Lite, to be financially feasable. Aquaculture can grow as the concept proves itself, and if it turns out that people from the passing cruise ships would like to make call in this exotic port, accommodations can be built after that has been proven enough to attract financing. (From there it might grow into the already-mentioned Cargo Transshipment Port; this is a way to get to that point.) Somewhere in the Carribean might be good for this: far enough away from shores that deep-water ships can sail right up to the port, and in the middle of an established cruise ship and trade zone.

Sovereignty - the Prime Directive
By: JLMadrigal How to keep both individual and stead sovereignty in the forefront of seasteading goals, so that they don't fade away as the movement progresses. While flags of convenience and other partnerships with states may be useful in the short run, they must not be permitted to overtake the movement in the long run. Nor should any one organization - including TSI - be allowed to become tyrannical as it expands. Comments (1)

what you are doing is relying on the novelty of life at sea to sell the idea - but that will never work. people who have that kind of money are smart enough to consider what life will be like 5-10-20 years down the road. will they regret their investment? was it really better than living a "normal" life. You have to do something to make the experience of life onboard completely amazing, irresistable... i.e. - the people who live there are healthier, stronger, smarter, and happier in ever possible way.
imagine you have this kind of money but you live in a condo overlooking central park. are you really gonna give up all the splendor of midtown manhattan for a little tiny speck that floats?

pair, and level out your energy by winching them together and letting the "float" apart? Also, large amounts of hydrogen could be stored in gas-bags tethered downwind. You don't have to store everything on-board.
