This is good for the OA project, but it might be that doing things like enclosing stars in Dyson spheres may turn out to be either impossible for some reason we don't know (after all, in 1900 a science fiction writer may have written a story about crossing the Milky Way in one lifetime just be accelerating to many times the speed of light) or turn out to be impractical (maybe it costs the equivalent of a centillion dollars (1000 google googles of googles) to go from Kardeshev 1 to Kardeshev 2 this way, and the civilization can't bootstrap itself).
If we are stuck at a few hundred times our current 0.73 level, and everybody else is too, than Benford Beacons make excellent sense. I would like to live in such a Galactic Club...of course, I would rather live in the OAUP galaxy, but the Galactic Club isn't bad.
