Yeah - I have looked into a lot of existing and defunct hacker hostels to get an idea of the landscape. The big difference here being an emphasis on a cheap location, and the emphasis on a life-long network rather than a short term living situation. Having a family is a limiting factor in people uprooting their lives, so I think you're right in saying that a younger audience is going to be the target (I'm 30 though). And yeah - single people and hopeful founders would also be a good target. This isn't something the members necessarily need to live at or pay a lot of money into - for some it may be nothing more than a cool vacation spot for a week or two. Thanks for the support. The idea is definitely a fun one but I'm also staying realistic with all of the challenges. Internet access is OK now, with a perfect 4g connection. Fortunately there is a local provider for high power wifi connections thats very affordable an I plan to set it up soon. There is currently a cement, permitted building pad on the land - I bought myself a small trailer for my office, 3d printer, etc and a small bunk bed. The other devs who have been there have nice tents set up - but I have plans in progress which I will get a permit for to expand the buildings.
