A safety concern many new arrivals will have would be tidal waves and tsunamis. What is the contingency plan regarding this?

Well if that fails we have wavepower and trust me wave power is a lot stronger.

Power is the least of my worries.

As a base i am thinking refitted oil rigs. a few of them intererlinked.

The same as with drilling platforms.

Make sure everything is bolted down outside and lock the doors inside.

It would be designed from the ground up to be able to survive these kind of natural occurences.
 
The Seasteading Institute has been working on a new approach involving communities floating above the sea in spar buoys, similar to oil platforms.[10] The project would start small, using proven technology as much as possible, and try to find viable, sustainable ways of running a seastead.[11] Innovations that enable full-time living at sea will have to be developed. The cruise ship industry's development suggests this may be possible.
A proposed design for a custom-built seastead is a floating dumbbell in which the living area is high above sea level, which minimizes the influence of waves. During the last couple of years, research has been documented in an online book that covers living on the oceans.[12]
The Seasteading Institute focuses on three areas: building a community, doing research and building the first seastead in the San Francisco Bay. In January 2009, The Seasteading Institute patented a design for a 200-person resort seastead, ClubStead, about a city block in size, produced by consultancy firm Marine Innovation & Technology. ClubStead marks the first major development in hard engineering, from extensive analysis to simulations, of the seasteading movement.[12][13]

Awesome.:D
 
Indeed, as far as I know, the only structure similar, would be those islands in Dubai. But those are based on sand. Where as this is totally man made I guess.

Wow, now that's something I did not expect. I guess its economic impact is something we need. Then again the initial cost of organizing a project like this is sure to be pricey, in which case, where does the money come from.

Intriguing.

That is awesome. Wonder what the costing would be :eek:

ALOT Im guessing. Some guy of the british coat occupied an old wwII fort and claimed it as his own coz its in int waters.

To make it cost effective you would need it to be very very eco-friendly and make use of exsisting tech.

I think a biodome is a bad idea.

For Omegatopia (working title) I would say each person looking to live there would help contribute. That and im sure you could get some of the old shit cheap fromt he russians.

Why would they?

But I do see that most of the housing are for luxury purposes, in which case, doesn't help us that much.

I dunno something stupid. you know how the "natives" are.

I wouldn't want to live there. This seastead has to function independant of the rest of the world. If you put it in on a trade route you could have ships stopping there, create a kind of freeport somewhere in the atlantic.

I reckon the Russki's would sell you anything.
 
Russians try to flog their stuff to whomever.

Yeah there will have to be some crappy reason as to why it would not be beneficial to the locals. But from my point of view, its a good thing if they build it. But perhaps almost exclusively for fat cats is not a good move. As Omega said, free trade port. There we go, then at least it would increase some form of economic trade and hence boost the economy directly and indirectly from job creation etc.

Yep.

My initial idea is 8 or 9 refitted oil rigs arranged in a Hexagon with a core in the middle all interlinked with stuts or something. Then park it somewhere in the mid-atlantic as establish it as a pit stop for merchant ships.

Though this would mean it would need defenses.... maybe the ruskies would sell me a frew anti-air batteries and some anti-material mounted cannons.
