Title: Setting up a BTS exchange on an Indian Reservation?

I always thought this could work well.

Here is a Reddit thread:

Did you know Jeff Bezos considered starting Amazon.com on an Indian Reservation?   He decided on Washington state for tech talent and favorable tax laws.

Payday Lenders Seek Shelter on Tribal Lands for 700% Loans

Now 700% seems outrageous for the Payday Loan business, but that's besides the point.  Indian reservations need money and the Casino business has been a boon for them.  If we can find a Tribe with a banking relationship we can just set up a US exchange.   What do you guys think?

Sounds good. There was a tribe that started a coin,  I think it was called mazacoin or maizecoin. They maybe open to it.

Yeah that would be a good one to start with.  I just sent a couple emails to the main person behind the project, but we'll see if I get any response.  It would be good to have real contacts with someone who lives on a reservation or who is connected high up to tribes.
