Another suggestion: The Republic of the Seychelles. Saw an AP article on them over the weekend. Seems they now (since November, if I remember the article correctly) offer unconditional haven for anyone who has $10,000,000 (didn't specify if in US$). No extradition, guaranteed, no matter what the crime, if perpetrated anywhere else in the world. Instant citizenship, no questions asked.

So I guess we'll need some computers in outer space, on offshore boats or in well-bribed stable dictatorships.

o Outer space: not very realistic o Offshore boats: see the fate of drug trafficers in international waters after the Coast Guard is through with them.

What about using converted freighters offshore in international waters for storing the computers? i.e. Sameer the Wolfman Jack of Pirate Internet Services (tm) I was told that Belize is offering passports for the next two years for $50,000 and that might be even less if offers were made to the government to provide low cost Internet access to the citizens of Belize. http://www.belize.com/citzdoc.html Belize has always been known as a home for pirates, A wonderful Cypherpunk candidate for an offshore data haven!
