knotwork: Yeah Diablo I saw a piece of real estate I thought might be great for the kind of data centre you once wanted to do

knotwork: I wasnt thinking of a dam but even just a little thing you sink into the water might be all kinds of regulation apparently yeah

knotwork: maybe even water though it doesnt mention any brooks etc in the stuff I have read about the place

knotwork: I thought maybe I'd found just what he was looking for but at a cheaper price

knotwork: Diablo yes that it no idea what I'd confuse that with death, maybe its a death and the devil thing

knotwork: but I think death and taxes nick was what kept the other guys nick from sticking in my long term memory

knotwork: I think his nick was longer than that? not death and taxes but thats who I always tended to confuse him with

knotwork: There was some guy in the investments section of bitcointalk (also probably known as the greater fool section) who wanted to do a whole ten million USD datacentre with solar and such I cant recall who that was

knotwork: But I do not want to put anything that has private keys in any third party datacentre

knotwork: no I have no bath at all yet that is part of what is currently being installed in the house

knotwork: as to make it commercial I would need wheelshair ramps, parking for however many customers/staff and on like that

knotwork: right now I am putting in a 400 amp hookup in my country-house but but that is now going to be done as a "home business" in which I will purportedly only use 25% of the house for business

knotwork: I dont want to run out of space or power for my datacentre that I want to have

knotwork: I am also looking at http://www.valj.com/index.php?mact=VAN,cntnt01,default,1&cntnt01category=comm&cntnt01inc=A&cntnt01listid=4456&cntnt01returnid=60&p=60 and http://annapolis.kijiji.ca/c-real-estate-other-Price-reduced-Farm-for-sale-homestead-self-reliant-possible-W0QQAdIdZ512786311 which are prices I am not so loath to spend right now

knotwork: Not sure I want an island, I can get seasick just on the PEI ferry

knotwork: I do want something with ltos of power I mean

knotwork: I dont want something with lots of power so I can do lots of mining, and with lots of room for solar and wind. water power would be nice too but I havent seen anything good with water power potential yet

knotwork: Ah but here I get much better perspective on the whole thing

knotwork: its also true that if bitcoins skyrockets a lot I wont care if a place is a steal or not I will just pay high to get what I want "at any price" kind of thing

knotwork: Hmm okay maybe I should try to research how often places this interesting come available

knotwork: <decimation> that's exactly the kind of reason not to get into an investment --> that is why my thinking changed since arriving here from get investors to its a princely estate not an investment I just dont want to let go that many bitcoins this soon

knotwork: I want the place when I have more bitcoins than I have right now but by then it might not still be available, basically

knotwork: I am not convinced the place will still be available by the time that bet is settled

knotwork: right now I am making more just doing stupid filling of orderbooks with lowballs buy offers and highball sell offers than anything else I have been doing

knotwork: well the model that is causing me to not want to spend that many bitcoins this soon is I expect half a mill worth of today bitcoins to be five mill quite soon, likely sooner than many folk expect

knotwork: I just dont want to spend 500 to 600 bitcoins this soon

knotwork: I could lock up 500+ bitcoins as collateral

knotwork: Running a DC is something I can do, its just an ISP writ large

knotwork: yeah I am white too

knotwork: I live in a 5 eye country and am a citzen of another (a Brit living in Canada)

knotwork: maybe next month when bitcoins are $2000+ if its still available I might go for it alone

knotwork: Yeah but a princely mil-spec estate is a nice thing for any bitcoin millionaire to have, its just I am not quite ready to buy it all by myself yet.

knotwork: Personally half a mill is too large a percent of my wealth to want to blow it all on one investment especially since I except bitcoins will appreciate faster than it will

knotwork: mircea I can give you confidentially the full brochure URLs but I dont want to give that to snipers they might have gleaned enough info already to snipe it

knotwork: owner is eager to sell but I dont know how low one could talk them down too, plus who knows someone else mgiht put in an offer though it sounds like no one has yet

knotwork: So I figured one would want to spend at least as much fillign it with miners or whatever as one spends on buying the facility itself

knotwork: I was thinmking it could offer hosting for miners for example as one use for it. I'd want to put solar panels all over it and windmills its in mountainous area (there is ski-ing up in that part of Nova Scotia thought not year-round at least not with natural snow) so should be good for wind

knotwork: Its the sattelite dish and the huge ackaup power room with all the knobs and dials and such i am not so sure how to operate

knotwork: I ran an ISP here in Halifax

knotwork: I thought the bitcoins in sapce project could maybe transmit to its sattelite from there for example

knotwork: It does sound like an idea evil lair thats why I thought it might be worth looking into going in with some people to get it

knotwork: Or less, yes. I was supposed to sell for 500k CAD but financing of the buyer fell through

knotwork: For half a million Canadian or less I can get an ex military base with full backup power and surveillance and electric alarms fence and keypad operated gates and 60ft or so sattelite dish (the kind inside a geodesic dome with tracking engines etc to track a satelite)

knotwork: I think I might finally have a usable idea for something to float as an asset.
