On the other issue - I had so much hope you were preppers... but alas, like everybody else you are in the bunker business for the money..

I wasn't entirely clear.. money first.. prepper second. While everyone around us in the data industry has thought we should gut the place, we have developed a more balanced approach that marries new and historical elements to the building and retains it's function as a fallout shelter. Our restaurant portion that seats over 100 people will certainly be themed towards that end. MRE? Zombie burger? I have a bit of a prepper in me as anybody in the data center business should, but I am not looking to install turrets around the bunker with Gatling guns if that's what you were hoping for.  Though drones are in the plans. Giant 5" thick steel doors with crossbar locking mechanism.. yes please!

Just like bitshares.. profit has to come first. 

Hello,

I have already invested in BTS-PST and BTSX and am excited about this technology and how it can change the world. 

I am in the process of bringing a second life to a 64,000 sq/ft underground nuclear bunker that was designed to keep 350 government officials safe and sound in the event of a chemical, biological, or nuclear fallout.

This facility used to provide secure communication storage for NATO for nearly two decades on the data side.

The portion of the facility that did this has all the features of a data center, which is what we are in the process of getting production ready. New backup power and fiber lines have been installed and the facility already features water cooling from a giant aquifer that it has operated from for fifty years.

Because the building has so many different elements, we are taking a multi-faceted approach to filling the space. What used to be CBC Radio studio, we now have operating as a media recording studio. We are converting a portion of what was bedrooms into offices to employ many techs and service people to for the data center operation.

The rest of the space we need to fix up and update to facilitate secure meeting space. Once you enter the bunker all communications to the outside world are cut off. No satellite or thermal will register. No worries about spies or any listening devices inside or out. With a private airport right beside our location complete with customs clearance, it's the ideal location for private meetings where data security is a must.

Now here is where the fork in the road comes.

We are about to start going about getting traditional financing for the improvements to the facility, and additional resources for our network infrastructure phase one that will include the introduction of a new cloud storage service. Being located in Canada, and in an underground secured bunker, we have an edge in security and privacy. Our geographic location in Canada also places us directly between New York, NY, and London England. Making it a great prospect for DR.

I have only recently learned about bitshares... and am so intrigued by it, I would like to consider potentially create a DAC (or DACs) of some kind that would be associated with the bunkers operations and utilize bitshares as the single only funding source that propels it forward. This would make for an amazing business case, and put us in the forward thinking zone that I always strive for.

Maybe once we are finished even host the next bitshare conference. I am putting this all out there in the hopes of garnering some ideas perhaps from some more experienced. I believe an entire data center getting behind bitshare in such a way could really send waves out into the world to show its arrived. The 'bunker bump' always gives a boost.. not quite as powerful as the 'cobert bump', but still pretty good.

Maybe this isn't ideal? Maybe bitshares is too early for this?

What do you think? Would a DAC of some kind getting behind a bunker data center in Canada be something you want to get behind?

So there is my first post. Certainly won't be the last.. but rather than dipping my toe like I normally do in forums, I jumped in with all this info to see if my impressions of what is going on here are right.

Looking forward to connecting with you all.

Have a great day!
