- jackgavigan 11y agordl tried that with HavenCo/SeaLand but it was unsuccessful, largely, I believe, due to corrupt/incompetent "government" influence. Even if you locate your server farm outwith unfriendly jurisdiction, you still need to connect it to the rest of the world, and it's difficult to do that without engaging the services of a company that is susceptible to influence by an unfriendly government. You're also susceptible to being effectively (if not literally) sanctioned via the financial system. Sidestepping jurisdictional issues altogether by operating entirely virtually is a better bet right now (c.f. ASICminer).
