Elwar should just forget the stupid idea of seasteading for the rest of his life.
It was not stupid for him before the "issue"WHY am I the only non-retarded person in this thread? WHY??? He fucked himself because instead of only building one floating death trap and being known as that insane guy that lives on a crab trap, he came right out of the gates letting his intentions be known that was going to attempt to place them all over the place like some type of nanotech, AI, doomsday scenario of tiny robots building an infinite number of paperclips to flood the entire planet with them.
One of those floating crab traps doesn't pose much of a problem, but a payload of tens, dozens, hundreds, thousands of them is tragedy of the commons out the ass with him attempting to offload those problems onto someone else to deal with besides himself. It was a shitty zoning arbitrage attempt with a predictable result.
