Eh, you don't really need habitation -- just a datacenter. It may be more cost-effective to design something specifically for this. At the minimum you're going to have to work out cooling and power anyway (hydroelectric and "just stick the heat sink in the ocean"?).

It may be more cost-effective to design something specifically for this At the minimum, there should be an expectation of the platform surviving the environment. Decoupling from wave energy is the point of a spar buoy. Even inanimate servers are perturbed by being smashed by walls of water. Did you actually read or search on anything mentioned, or did you just go with the "stead" in the name?
- Locke1689 16y agoI actually looked at the engineering documents -- they weren't that detailed. It's not exactly what I'd expect from a build-ready project. That said, I'm not a civil engineer.
- stcredzero 16y agoI'll also note, if you understood what those folks are about, that many of these folks would be happy to make a home out there if someone would pay them a normal-ish salary to maintain such a datacenter. I suspect this could end up economically advantageous both for the seasteaders and whatever company wanted to establish the datacenter. (As opposed to the 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off, hazard-pay situation people are in for offshore drilling operations.)
