Welcome to the SolarWind Mining Company, the following are the first to join the 'The First 100' club!
Headcount: 100/100 (and two) (The First 100 club is full! I wasn't quick enough to post before the last two people made a reply. So as not to disapoint them I have included them as the 'and two.' Thanks Guys! :))

|*|UPDATTED|*|

So you guy's probably have been wondering how much your free BitShare is worth, right? If you have read the first reply below this one you know that any SolarWind account with less than 0,5 BTC is considered a BitShare. How much BTC is your free BitShare worth? It's worth...



On the first day that The SolarWind Mining Company begins its mining operations, all of 'The First 100' partners will start off with 0,01 BTC in BitShares. That 0,01 BTC will be doubled and rolled over until your account has enough BTC for a Standard or Founders Share. So, Congratulations!

Now, for BitShares you automatically get a 10% credit for all of your deposits. But I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do for 'The First 100.' You all are going to get a 15% credit for all of your BitShare deposits! Here is what else 'The First 100' will receive, the normal referral credit is 2.5% of the amount your referrals deposit, for 'The First 100' I'm going to double it to 5%!

Additional Bonus for 'The First 100':

For each of 'The First 100' that bring in a referral who buys either a Founders Share or a Standard Share, you will be rewarded by being placed on the fast track to 3 BTC and your first Founders Share. All you have to do is have a total of 0,95 BTC in your BitShare account and SolarWind will open a Founders Share in your name, once your Bitshare account reaches 1,5 BTC you will get an automatic payment for 3 BTC with NO WAITING. (The SolarWind Mining Company must be in full operation and have been mining successfully for at least 7 days or until there is enough funds generated to make the payout for each member of 'The First 100' before this goes into effect)

So when is all this going to start? Very soon. I am working on getting the SolarWind website up and running and when that happens The SolarWind Mining Company will be ready to start selling shares. If anyone is interested in getting in early and want to buy a few shares they can PM me and I'll get you a special bonus. I'll only do this for Founders Shares and there is a strict limit of 200 Founder Shares per cycle (Between each round of purchases of mining hardware) so you might want to be an early adopter.

For those of you who have older mining hardware and are loosing interest in mining because you aren't earning much BTC, I will set up an account at bitparking for you so you can mine for your shares. Remember, you will earn double or more for your BTC that you deposit. That means that if you only mine 0,01 BTC a day but you mine it with the bitparking account that I setup for you, you'll actually be mining 0,023 BTC per day (don't forget about the 15% credit for deposits!). If you want to get a mining account so you can mine for your shares, just PM me or BRADLEYPLOOF (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=101033).

This thread is being moved, click here for UPDATED INFORMATION (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=297334.0)

Hello

I'm sorry buy I saw an Idea like this before being put out.  Because a wind farm would have many disadvantages, I don't know if you planned it all out or something, but I would still be happy to test this program out, if it starts.

And a question - do you even have any equipment for this farm?  Do you even have the space?  And, I doubt anyone would have the kind of money.. :/

Thanks for replying,

The Mining Farm will not run exclusively on solar or wind power, these will be phased in and utilized to decrease the time for the ROI and extend the time frame for the profitability of the Mining Rigs.

I have 70Th/s on order at Cointerra, this includeds 10 2Th/s Mining Rigs and 50Th/s worth of GoldStriket1 ASICs. (Ed: Just added another order for 20TH/s at Cointerra - Total hashing Power on order is 90TH/s)

I am currently part of a small private mining operation but I am ready to move on.

Space for the Mining Rigs has been reserved (Ed: added)

More details will come later (Ed: with the official release.)

~ SolarWind, A Bitcoin Mining Company

Ed: Although the exclusive referral offer is for Newbies only, I will extend this offer to you for being the first to reply. Good Luck!  :)

Hello

can we know in which country you will install this?

I'm not sure what's going on here.

Hello!

Hello

Hello

Hello

Hello

Hello

Hello

Hi!

This is an interesting idea - I'm not sure solar/wind power would be enough energy to sustain mining, so I'm curious to see how this turns out.

Also, what's the timeframe for "Coming Soon"? Is it weeks, months, or years?

Hello!

Even if I do not get the free shares (which BTW, I would love) I would like a referral link when this comes out. How much will the shares cost about?  Thanks!

Hello!  Will you pm us with more info on the shares?

Hello.

Hello!

Thanks for your reply,

The facilities are located in the United States, near and to the west of Salina Kansas (http://kansastravel.org/smokeyhillwindfarm.htm). This area recently had a few thousand Wind Turbines installed, it is a very windy place indeed! This area also receives less rain than the rest of the State, so, lots of Sunlight.

Hello

hello

- Reserved -

hello

Hello,

Would love to partake! Thank you for the opportunity!!

Thanks for the reply,

Still working out the details, so please be patient. I want to make sure I do justice to all partners of the SolarWind Mining Company.

Ed: Nice website (http://nahtnam.com/) by the way, Good Job!

Hello

With all these free users getting some sort of account/share on a pyramining network, what payoff do you get from us users for the work of setting up and maintaining a bitcoin mining network?

Thanks for the reply,

This thread is intended as a promotion, every company must have an advertising budgit. I have chosen to let some of the first new partners do a little of the work to promote the company. The bitshares are my way of paying the nice folks for the work they do, in other words, the company is paying for services rendered. Bitshares are a reserved portion of the mining hash power which is set aside for the companies opperating exspenses and a portion of those bitshares will be shared by the first 100 new partners. This is not to malign my own offer, but the number of total bitshares represent only a little bit (a small percentage) of the total hashing power and bitshares have certain limitations but provide alot of opportunity to those who choose to take advantage of them. To summerize, the bitshares are payment for word-of-mouth advertising and there cost is part of the budgit as planned. Now, I will be offering Founder Shares soon and you may find them to be too expensive for the hashing power they are worth, BUT you may also find that the comps I have planned for the Founders are out-a-site! Oh, and by the way, there are three more types of shares the company will be offering, there are Standard Shares and they there are,.. well... more on those later.

EDIT:

This is a company, its primary purpose is to earn a profit for all of its partners. You have asked what I get out of this. I may have the title of owner, CEO or any other term you wish to (respectively) apply to me, but ultimately to you, a share owner, I work for you. My primary job (and my responsibility) is to make sure the company lives up to its promises and comitments, and that's what I will do. I am not only your employee, I am also a partner as well. I hope to profit just as you do. With your support, I will, with mine own two hands, build and maintain the physical infrastructure needed, make the decisions on how to keep profitability strong for all the partners of the company and create the many financial opportunities that I intend to provide.

Most companies offering shares give you a set amount of hashing power for you investment. If you do the math you'll find that what they payout doesn't really add up to a fair price per hash. If 'X'GH/s achieves ROI in 1 month why does it take 12 months to payout only 110-120% of your investment? Seems like a lot of BTC is going 'somewhere.'  I can't tell you where that extra BTC is going, all I know is that its not going into the pockets of the average shareholder. I am not offering simple shares for a set amount of hashing power, I am offering the opportunity to invest in a company that will work hard for its beloved partners and will reinvest the companies efforts to continually increase profits for its partners. We're in it for the long haul, together.

Once I work out the final details on investor compensation and release it to the public, I think you'll see that SolarWind is going to set itself apart from the rest of the heard!

Don't worry though, you'll get your bitshare too, Good Luck! :)

hello

hello

hello

Hello!

It usually goes towards reinvestment (to keep up with competition and difficulty increases) and to cover costs and expenses.

hello

Hello!

Thanks for your reply,

True, yet when is the final payoff and who benifits the most. My proposal will do much the same, but will be more transparent and more agressive about getting BTC into the pockets of investors.

Hello!!!  Let me promote you...

Hi there,

Which exchange platform do you plan to trade on? I currently hold a portfolio of securities on Havelock. I've also used Bitfunder.

Is there a thread for this on the Securities board?

Thanks and good luck!

Hardman

Thanks for replying,

SolarWind will start as a private company with private shares. Once certain milestones are reached the shares may go public, but this fact does not stop private trades of shares and SolarWind will support such sales. There will be a procedure in place that will allow for the easy transfer of ownership.

If there is enough interest in using one of the exchanges I will adjust the plan to suite the wishes of SolarWind Partners.

Thanks for answering my questions. Sounds pretty interesting. What's the best way to stay in the loop with updates from SolarWind?

Hello!  ;D
interesting project, I'm following this thread for updates

Thank you very much, I'm not exactly a veteran, I would consider myself as newbie lolz.

how would these shares work?  Are they paid dividends paid every week or something?  Or just stock?

You have 100 TH/s or preorder???  That's a significantly high amount, wouldn't that double the current mining difficulty?

Hello!

Nice to hear from you again!

For now, just keep watching this thread. I will be launching the official thread but it will not contain any content yet.

Hello!


You know, we all like BTC.

Hello ! Could you provide more information about the shares ?

Hello

seems like a great project

Hello there,

Sounds like a great project!

Blorgg

Count me in! :)

Hello

This sound interesting

Hello!

Sounds like an interesting project

Hello!

Sounds very interesting. I would love to get more info whenever shares are available.

Hello.

Hello

Interesting. Hello.

Hello!

hello

Here is one of the pre-order confirmations.

Hello

I have updated the list at the beginning of the thread, so....


Welcome to all the latest partners!

I have updated the thread to include a few share details... ==> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=293098.msg3139562#msg3139562

Hello, I'm interested as well, but I'd also like to hear more of course.  Good luck in any case!

Hello. Looks interesting. Good Luck!

I'm not sure just what the boundaries for newbiness are. Are I one?

Hello :3

Hello!

...that site isn't responding. http://[Suspicious link removed]/ (EDIT: solarwindminingco . t k / ) isn't responding either. You said your facilities are located near Kansas? Is that where your web server is as well? I also noticed you notated a lot of decimals with a "," instead of a ".". I've never seen anyone in North America do that (It's common in Venezuela though). Is your company managed far from your mining facility? I would love to see your website when it is accessible for me. ^^ I'm very interested.

(EDIT: I didn't personally call your business's web site suspicious. That is an automated function of the forum.)

hello

Hello...  ;D

Hello, hello, hello! ;D

I have updated the original post.

Strange, I'll see if I can fix this, until then I'll remove the link (the link worked for me, maybe its your security settings?), thanks for the heads up!

The facilities have been reserved and are located in Kansas near Salina, I live not to far from there so I can get to it fairly quickly when needed.

Ah, the website...  when its ready it will be AWSOME! I have some pretty neat things being designed for it, i think you all are going to LOVE IT!

I like to use 0,00x because BTC is infinitely divisible. The 0,00x indicates that the decimel point is somewhere infinitely to the right.  ;D

Hello! :)

Sorry for the false alarm then, I suppose. Both web sites work via T-mobile's 4g service. AT&T seems to be selectively blocking (or timing out) things coming in and out of an address of theirs 14 hops away. It's kind of creepy. It's good to hear that you are close to the facilities though. :3

Hello :D I really want to be a part of this. when is the expected date? and am i too late to get my free share? :( :D

Hello! :D

Hello!
I'd love to get the free share to try and I'm willing to invest if it makes money.

Hello

seems very interesting project

Hello, sounds interesting

Hey everybody,

Nearly two thirds of the free BitShares are gone already! Thats 0,6 BTC worth of shares thats been given away so far! Congrats to you all! SolarWind is getting even closer to offering Standard and Founders Shares to the general public. BRADLEYPROOF is doing an outstanding job and is bringing in more partners, so if you want to get the special bonus for the Founders Shares or Standard Shares as an early adopter before we start offering them to everyone, let me know. Remember that there are only 200 Founders Shares (and only 800 Standard Shares) available for each Hardware Purchase Cycle and, once the comps for owning SolarWind shares gets around, I think there gonna go pretty quickly.

~SolarWind, A Bitcoin Mining Company

Hello  :)

Hello

Hello!

very interesting project  ;)

Project announced on the bitcointalk 'newbies' forum. Can't say that it instills confidence to announce as large of a project as a mining farm in this subforum.

Thanks for your reply,

You didn't actually say 'Hello', but I'll include you in 'The First 100' anyway. Good Luck!

Edit: I understand your skepticism and its Ok. I was pretty excided to announce this project and I just couldn't wait for the mods to whitelist the account. Even so, if the mods had whitelisted the account before I made the announcement, I would have posted just the same with no more account history than I did so I can't see any logical difference. But like I said, I understand completely, hopefully I will be able to turn you around and you'll be happy that you made your comment here!

Hello

Hello

Hello!

Hello

Hello

This sounds great, you must also be developing a website for this, right?

hello

I would be happy to invest once I feel convinced that the operation is viable.

Hello

I still find this a bit weird..  If you were to mine with 100TH/s on difficulty 200,000,000, almost doubled the current difficulty, with 0.61 profit decline per year, you would still be able to make almost 1 million USD per month!

Am I missing anything here? o.O

Not gonna lie, thoroughly confused.

But I did say hello!

You bet,

Hello

Looks interesting, cant wait your website

Really? Wow, this might workout better than I thought! :D

(Hey, by the way monbux, if your trying to get more shares by keeping the thread active, your just gonna have to wait, Ok? And with comments like that, if you want to be a promoter, just ask  ;))

Sorry, MAbtc... it was directed at MidwestMiner

Even if the hardware doesn't start up until November or December, we will still be able to double our investment...And with continuous improvements and upgrades to hashing power, we should be good to go...

Hello!

Hello

Hello

Welcome to the newest members! There are only 21 positions left in 'The First 100' club. So say hello now to get your BitShares worth 0,01 BTC!

Hello! I'd love to be added to the list too. Thanks!

Hello there

Hello

Hello

Hello hello!

wow dudes and dudettes this sounda amazing :)

hello . will check out you web site soon , keep up the good work for BTC

Hello

I said "hello" a couple of pages ago but I don't see my name on the list.


Wouldn't you want somewhere a little cooler than Kansas?  Their summers can be quite hot which will cost you in cooling. 

Don't worry, I'll take care of your being on the "First 100" list  ;)  As for the farm, we'd eventually like to expand it at some point.  I live in VT, so every day except for about 2 months of the year are cold, rainy, or snowy.  If we can get enough funding, I'd like to think about setting up a second branch up here and just leave the windows open during fall, winter, and spring...It'll keep the heating costs down...

Howdy  ;D

Hello i want to join and get free shares  :P

Hello.

Hello

An old business partner of mine and I are also working on a way to recover the heat energy and make it useful. We will use it to produce hot water to help the hot water tank out, for heating when its cooler and where (ooh... ugly typo  :-[) we are also trying to see what we can do to turn it into electricity.

We hate waste here at SolarWind, and its our goal to turn any waste into a valuable resource.

(Looks like I missed a few of you guys on 'The First 100' list, it has been corrected)

The joys of being a green company!  SUPER EXCITED FOR THIS TO TAKE OFF!!!  Don't forget to like us on facebook either... www.facebook.com/solarwindminingco
We need 100 likes on there to start creating deals and offers!  Working on a company logo and a few cool pieces of merchandise as well...

Probably time to see here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=124441.0), identify yourself, and provide something of substance, rather than encourage newbies/sockpuppets to fill page after page with clueless posts while you ignore actual posters' questions.

Have you reached the 100th person yet?

Hello.

Hello

Hello

Hello!

hello!

hello

me!

I've been a member here for quite some time but haven't been too active to say the least. Now that I've invested in some bitcoins for myself I've been considering investing in something like this. This pool seems like a great idea and depending on when you think it will be up and running I could be very interested in buying some shares. If there's any of the original slots available please include me and I'll be watching this closely.

Sorry WikileaksDude,

SolarWind doesn't want any scammers as partners, so unless you can give an adequate reason for the subject on this thread ==> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=192904.0, I can't include you.  :((Unless you can clear this up or show that you have made it right with mill0601 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=80716))

Hello

Thanks MPOE-PR for your reply,

I looked at your thread and it has some good advice. Some of the things you suggest I am working on, others look like good ideas and I'll see what I can do. I do take issue with calling people 'sockpuppets' but I do understand what you mean. As I expressed in this thread ==> Here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=296280.msg3186743#msg3186743) We are under a strict time limit and I had to rush things a little sooner than I wanted too.

I've gone ahead and included you in The First 100 club, hope that you will find that your post here is a profitable one.

The First 100 (and two) club has been filled!

Sorry if you missed it, there will be more opportunities to come so stay tuned!


The Official Thread has now been opened. So make sure you go over the this thread  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=297334.msg3190519#msg3190519)and let people know that you are one of The First 100 (and two) club!

Thanks Everybody!

Is there some morsel of substance in there? Not everyone is going to be smoothed away by this contentless musing.


Name them. Specifically and in full.

And I'm not in any "club" of yours. Pretending that honest criticism of your nonsense is actually interest in whatever you think you're up to here is a large part of why I posted in the first place.

Ouch. . .do you have to be so rough?

What you're doing is a far greater offense, seeing as it's against both truth and sense, and since you persist after having this pointed out to you the first time, yes, I have to be so rough.

What I say might sting if you've never honestly considered these things before and so feel torn abruptly from your preconceived notions. There's little point in being hurt by it unless you're into masochism. Use the energy instead to actually think and do actual work that people can actually use.

Heh, as much as I sometimes despise MP... I gotta respect the man for being so brutally honest.

Here is a blurb from the General Company Description section of our business plan:

     SolarWind is designed to be an eco-friendly Bitcoin Mining Farm.  The intention is to create a large scale hashing platform dedicated to mining bitcoins and creating a stable community.  The company will start off with 100 TH/S worth of mining power and use solar and wind power, interspersed with grid fed power to lower the cost of operations and producing the most profit.  Waste heat generated from the operation will be recycled and create another source of electricity or used to heat water, thus lowering the cost of operations further.  Operations will be set up in Kansas near wind and solar farms to minimize cost.  Hashing power will be increased as necessary to generate further income.

     Mission Statement:  At SolarWind Mining Co. we want to create a stable hub of bitcoin mining, increase network stability, and generate revenue from mining for investors.

     Company Goals and Objectives:  Our goals as a company include creating a profitable, stable mining node that leads in hashing power, giving the best returns on investments, and multiple mining locations, as well as being a leader in the distribution of knowledge related to bitcoin.  Objectives include doubling of initial investments, increases in hashing power, and holding annual bitcoin rallies at college campuses and other large venues.

     Our philosophy is that bitcoin will be the forerunner of all digital currencies and is the natural evolution of currency.

Bradley,

You, sir, are the right arm of SolarWind! I knew I could count on you to come through! Thanks buddy, I don't know what I would have been able to get done without you.

Hey everybody, give Bradley a positive nod if you think he is doing a GOOD JOB!

Aha. Where's the full thing, including profiles of those involved, and why isn't it in this thread? Did I miss it?

MPOE-RP, I have much respect for you.  I've heard many good things from the coinchat.org community and I wish to do right by you so as not to have any negative press put on us.  I'm in the process of finishing up the darn thing, and because I can't spend all day writing it up (stupid real job that I have) I have to work on it sporadically at night when my girlfriend isn't attached to me, or during my 1/2 hour lunch break.  I will post it as soon as it's available.  Please, be patient with me, I'm new to this whole "write up a business plan" thing.  I'm just a simple DBA, with no college degree, who learns fast by the "hands on and google it" approach.  I will have the draft up by Monday if I have to work day and night over this weekend to finish it.

Also, we have moved the thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=297334.0

Thank you, I appreciate your drive to make sure we're sincere in our efforts.

Bradley

I apologize.  I don't want to push people away, or make them think any less of me because I didn't invest in a college degree.  I've gotten to where I am by working tremendously hard and I'm not afraid to ask for help.  In fact, if you would be so kind, I would love for you to PM me with any advice that you might have. 

Bradley, you cannot respect me if you do not know what respect is. And you don't, given that my name still appears in the "club" list on the first page of this thread when I expressed zero interest and to the contrary was explaining how and why what you're doing is wrong, and what needs to be done to fix it. Rather than doing those things, and rather than carefully reading and considering the provided literature on this subject, you're expressing your good intentions and apologizing for your failure to deliver.

There's nothing wrong with that, UNLESS you're at the same time pretending that you're somebody with something to offer, something for which people should pay, no less. Then it becomes a farce, and moreover, it reeks up these forums and as you've noticed is quite capable of annoying other posters.

You do not post "giveaways" and make assertions about being or having anything to do with a "company" before you have a business plan, one that you've put in front of your peers, one for which you've addressed each and every given problem. You do not post contentless marketing junk in the SECURITIES forum, soliciting total newbs to drum up a high thread post count in exchange for breadcrumbs. And you don't start any of this at all without following the steps outlined here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=124441.0) (following and completing, to the degree that when asked (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=293098.msg3193089#msg3193089) who you are and what you've done, you can answer).

This is scammer behavior, no matter how good your intentions are, no matter how much you believe in what you're trying to do.

Don't sell Bradley short, he's an amazingly hard worker! MPOE-RP you need to address me, I will assist you the best that I can. Like Bradley, I have other commitments and I am spread pretty thin, but I will do what I can to gain your trust, but I will only provide information that I feel is reliable and not likely to be in need of retraction. You'll just have to wait until its ready, insisting that we hand out information that may contain errors or inaccuracy is unreasonable. Would you rather have information that corresponds to the meaning of its intent or would your rather that the information be incomplete and unreliable? I would hate to see what would happen if information was released by the company that simply wasn't ready for the general public. It would be almost impossible to fix any misconceptions since most people will not spend the time to objectively review any revisions (this is not to say that people can't or are not capable, but most people just don't have the time.) Patience is considered a virtue.

Well having stumbled into this blog post (http://bradleyploof.wordpress.com/2013/09/17/starting-a-bitcoin-mining-farm/) it seems reasonable that people would assume to address you both as though you are interchangeable.


Well, MPOE-PR gave the marching orders thusly:


That part you mentioned SolarWind/Bradley about:


Goes especially for people considering a business, especially a business seeking other people's funds to create it.

OK everybody,

Things are progressing at a steady pace, we have several partners who are mining for shares and word is getting around. BRADLEYPLOOF has been working hard on multiple projects and shadizzle has joined us as a tech. I know that many of you have skills that you could use to help SolarWind be successful. Mostly, at this time, SolarWind needs to get its website up and running and we need miners to join the BitShare Mining Pool. If any of you are graphics artists or have web development experience please PM me. We are offering shares for work that you may do for SolarWind. Why shares? Because I believe that, if someone is invested in the success of a project like SolarWind, then they do their best work.


Don't forget to go to the Official Thread and announce that you are member of The First 100 Club.

Thanks Artuk for your comments,

I fully understand what MPOE-RP is saying, but I have no respect for the disrespectful way she convey's the message. MPOE-RP is obviously intelligent and has a knowledge and understanding of business and finance that is certainly something to hold in high regard, but she is cynical, pretentious and discourteous, and that's putting it nicely. Even when someone is trying to be respectful or kind, she seems to see such action as a weakness and launches some overly contrived and unnecessary (as well as not being the least bit sophisticated) literary assault. She spoke of Bradley not showing respect or even understanding what respect is, such an opinion rings hollow coming from such a belligerent individual. MPOE-RP either is an incredibly narcissistic individual, or has a rare form of literary tourette syndrome. She has shown absolutely no respect at any point in her conversations. MPOE-RP is the one who doesn't understand what it means to have even a basic level of respect for another human being. My friend, Bradley, certainly did show MPOE-RP respect, MPOE-RP doesn't seem to understand that giving into the pretentious demands of a discourteous individual such as herself is not showing respect in the normal sense. MPOE-RP is not some government officer that one must jump immediately into action when she rattles of some command. More aptly put, MPOE-RP's behavior resembles the actions of a bully rather than an authority figure. So as for MPOE-RP's 'marching orders' (even though I do understand the value of the 'advice'), I am not one of her unfortunate troops. MPOE-RP can take her pretentious demands, shove them into an offchain bitcoin wallet, then promptly lose it. I am not interested in her opinion anymore, the good part of what she has to offer can be found in many other places so she is irrelevant. Furthermore, I do not wish to associate with individuals who subject their fellow human beings to such maltreatment. I can only cringe at the thought of what an individual with such disdain for others would be like if in control of an entire country (Pol Pot, Genghis Khan and a few others come to mind.) I have heard that MPOE-RP is well known, now I understand why I haven't heard that she is well respected. Perhaps she will bring fire and brimstone down upon me because I dare challenge her greatness. Unlike others, I do not fear MPOE-RP's wrath, The Empress Wears No Clothes!!...

Edit: MPOE-RP expressed that she did not want to be in The First 100 Club, I sent her a PM offering to buy her BitShare for the value I have given it. I have not received a reply, and if I do not soon, I will dissolve her share and donate the 0.01 BTC to the Bitcoin Foundation. Thank you.

id take her place in the 100 if i could :P id even buy the share itself

You can offer too if you like, but I doubt she will respond.

SolarWind don't get me wrong, I'm with you, but this story remembers me the september that never ended: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September)

There's the BitCoin community with it's own rules and habits and you appear all at once proposing a service without following them.
What if everyone does the same? How can people know who can they trust?
Your approach is disruptive of this community.
You must expect a violent reaction from someone.

Now I'm very glad to see you are following suggestions from other people.

MPOE-RP: as more and more people are attracted by BitCoin, expect more people behave like SolarWind.
It's up to you and the other old members show them the way but... don't be too rude or they will not take you seriously.

Thanks for your comments,

 I do not disagree with you in principle, consider though, how disrupting was the American Revolution, the Civil War,.. I could go on. How disruptive will bitcoin itself (hopefully) be to the status quo. We, in the bitcoin community must be ever diligent to prevent many of the problems that have been historically created by elitism. Besides, I am not a follower, I blaze my own trail and hope others will see the light.

Btw I don't think MPOE-ER is a "she" I think its a "he" with a cute girl avatar. Pretty sure, might be wrong though  :)

Also, I signed up for this because you sound very intelligent from your responses and, who doesn't like a freebie? Btw, MPOE-ER never signed up, ever. You somehow included him/her against his/her will, even after he/she said no thanks explicitly. Now you're subsidizing his/her unwarranted share? Thats a bit odd.

Anyway, there are two outcomes to this as I see it: You could possibly be a PRO scam artist OR an entrepreneur trying to start a business . Only time will tell for sure.

Thanks AntiOps for your comments,

I ended up giving everyone of the first 100+ who posted in this thread because I didn't want to disappoint anyone and I also wanted to use the opportunity to show that I do not take offense when someone expresses skepticism or mistrust and that I also understood why they may feel the way they do. In other words, I used the giveaway as a peace offering of sorts. To be honest, I don't want to talk about MPOE-RP anymore, I don't want to seem rude to you in anyway, its just that I have said my peace about MPOE-PR and I don't want to waist anymore time on the (mostly pointless) subject. That being said, I will explain why I offered to buy back the BitShare. It is simply this, I gave it to someone else and it is not mine anymore. It would be wrong for me to just take it back without offering something in return, otherwise it would be stealing and that would be an egregious violation of my own personal principles. So I have offered the best solution that I could imagine. As for male/female goes, ehh... who knows but MPOE-PR.

Maybe this will help you decide on your final comment. If I am intelligent, as you said you believe I am, then I could see no logic in conducting a scam. If I could successfully do so it would require a great deal of effort on my part. Such effort in fact, that I would likely put as much energy into conducting the scam as I would if I where doing this whole legitimately. So, again, what logic would there be in it. The rewards for a scam are limited and come with all sorts of nastiness. The rewards for doing this thing honestly are greater, longer lasting and have the fortunate quality of being emotionally satisfying. Time will tell, sort of, you must judge on your own.

had to shut down my erupter farm mining for you guys at mmpool, i dont think ive ever seen a 40 hour+ long block before, and i dont want to experience that ever again....

IT IS FINALLY OVER

Then again the luck had been good before that block so it's even :)

We can setup mining accounts for any mining pool that you would like (except BTC-guild because of what we believe is a suspiciously low share payout), part of why we chose bitparking is that it has always been a great pool and doublec (the creator and manager of bitparking) works really hard at making it more profitable. So, we are using bitparking to help raise its hash-rate. When I started mining, I tried many different pools and I found that bitparking gave me better returns for my hashing investment than any of the other pools. I really don't understand why there are not more people using the pool. Doublec's hard work should be rewarded, and that is what we are trying to do for him(?).

the layout, as a 3rd party who doesnt know doublec, id probably tell him that his layout sucks, the site looks ugly, even if i made 10% more btc overall, i wouldnt use it because of the layout :B

Out of kindness to doublec, I wasn't going to say it, but you are most likely correct. Doublec is a pure tech guy, so something like that probably doesn't occur to him as being important. It's a shame though...

I understood why you offered to buy the share back, but didn't understand why you gave it in the first place. But thats cleared up now thanks to the reply above, and fair enough. Hopefully the SolarWindMiningCompany will expand and become a big player in the mining scene. Good luck!

Thanks AntiOps for your encouragement!

kindness is nice and all, but he needs to know that his layout is bad, its just ugly, the average miner probably doesnt care about things like how profitable a pool is, they just want the setup and site to be simple, hence why btcguild and bitminter are big, theyre just so simple and they both have a generally nice layout.

I would say that to a large extent the lack of the need for an account also makes Bitparking the most suitable platform for us to mine on. It mightn't have any actual UI, but it is still quite a good pool and DGM is good for constant miners.

Perhaps consider a PPS pool for the occasional miner.


Update: SWMC has responded that altcoins will count :D yay

BitShare Miners will receive credit for the altcoins they mine, it may take much longer to see the altcoin credit on an account since we wait until there is a substantial amount to be sold. All the coins from each miner are pooled into a single account, one for each coin type, so that they can be sold in larger quantities. Otherwise most of the value of the coins would be lost by the transaction fees that the exchanges charge. Each miners percentage of each altcoin is recorded and the total BTC after the exchange is divided according to each accounts percentages of the total for each altcoin.

I must advise you that because of the recent changes in the rate of increase of the difficulty level that my plans are in the process of changing. There is one aspect that I will never change, SolarWind will always have a commitment to double investment funds IF the investor chooses that option. It may take longer than originally planned and we will have to diversify sooner, but I am stubbornly determined to make it happen. The one change that I am making that I am certain of is that in order to achieve the goals that I have set out for the company, I must institute a new investment program, we will no longer offer Standard or Founders Shares. Instead, we will offer a Standard and Founders Contracts. The new feature that I am adding is called the RollOver Option (ROO). The ROO is a feature that allows the shareholder to pick their own target amount.

How the new investment structure will work:

(Note: For those who have already made investments, the terms that you agreed to will still be in effect. Even so, the BitShare terms have not changed to any significant degree. If you leave things as they are, or decide to use the new format it will not really change the outcome of your payments. You may keep the DROII option on your future Standard Shares or Founders Shares.)

(Warning: Before you make an investment in any company you must understand the risks involved.

    There are several things to consider and a careful judgement should be made as to whether or not you can afford the risks involved in investing in bitcoin and its related industries. Risk should be assessed while keeping in mind whether you can afford to lose the funds you are intending to invest or if a particular investment has greater risk than you are willing to take. Make sure you understand that things can go wrong, even for older and well established companies, and nothing is guaranteed. Despite SolarWind's efforts to safeguard investment funds, we can not be held responsible for things that are out of SolarWind's control. Things that would be out of SolarWind's control include, but are not limited to; a manufacture that overstated its claims about it's hardware or isn't able to provide what they had promised, SolarWind being the victim of a scam, products being damaged, going missing or stolen during shipment, hardware delay's, natural disasters acts of governments, the value of bitcoin, the failure of the bitcoin economy or it's network, hacking, theft and a host of other risks that are completely unknown.

     If you only have a small investment, then higher risks are often necessary to realize sufficient profits unless you have a long term strategy. If you want to earn a quick and respectful profit then you will likely have to except the risk that you will lose your investment in part or entirely.

     If you want to build a nest egg for the future, then investments that offer slow returns are safer. It may be best if you invest in proven and well established investments. SolarWind is a start-up investment company, although we have the best of intentions, there is more risk involved when investing in any start-up.

     If you are considering investing with SolarWind, you should be aware that if you choose the slower, long term investment options, you are not likely to earn much more than you would with any other investment company that has already been proven reliable. If you do choose to invest in SolarWind's slower returns options, your investment funds will likely be safe because we use the majority of investment funds to purchase mining hardware. So there is a tangible product that has been proven to produce returns for investors, namely the mining hardware, that you will be able to rely on. As long as Bitcoin mining is a profitable venture, your risk with SolarWind as a start-up is only slightly higher than anywhere else.


     If you choose to invest in SolarWind, know that SolarWind will invest in you, and thank you for your faith and trust in us.)


Terminology and definitions:

Double Return On Investment (DROI) - Meaning implied

Hardware Purchase Cycle (HPC) - The buy-in period preceding the purchase of specific hardware. The intended hardware to be purchased may change due to price and availability changes. The changes could be positive, such as new hardware is available sooner, or is cheaper, more powerful or all of these. OR, changes could be negative, and due to failure of the manufacture to produce the hardware in a timely manner, scams, ROI on hardware intended to be purchased is no longer possible or will take far to long to be feasible, hardware price increases and additional funds are needed or a number of unknown factors.

RollOver Option (ROO) - Re-investment, no outlay of funds are made until a target amount is met.

Overages - Amounts above the selected target amount

Simple Version - The Contract holder chooses their payout amount (see details for each Contract Option.) The funds deposited are Rolled Over (re-invested) until the target amount is met, then a payout is made. If their are overages (amounts over the target amount) then the overage amount is converted into BitShares.

     ROO Options:

• Slow Return On Investment (SROI) - This is a long term investment option. There is less risk involved and it resembles a more traditional invest strategy. There is no commitment to DROI but a target amount is selected. Target amount will range from 105% to DROI (200%). Target amounts can be changed at any time but will take two HPCs to take effect. 15% of profits are outlaid biweekly and 85% of profits are Rolled Over until target amount is met. After the target amount is reached and the funds outlaid, any overages are converted into BitShares. There will be bi-weekly dividends from the hardware that the funds were used to purchase and 35% of the dividends are converted into BitShares and the rest of the funds are outlaid.
• Quick Return on Investment (QROI) - Short term profits option. Funds are at higher risk. There is no commitment to DROI but a target amount is selected. This option offers a quicker return and the Target amount will range from 150% to DROI. Target amount can be changed at any time but outlay will be delayed for two HPCs if the new target amount has already been met.  There are no outlays until the target amount is reached and no dividends after the target amount is outlaid. Once the target amount has been outlaid the contract is complete, there are no further returns on the investment unless there are overages that have been converted into Bitshares

Hold for contract ORDer (HORDer) - An order to hold investment funds for the purpose of buying a Contract
     HORDer Options:

• Hold investment funds and ROO profits until sufficient funds from deposits and ROO profits have accumulated to purchase the chosen Contract
• The number and type of Contracts can be chosen in any combination

BitShare:

10% deposit bonus - The 10% bonus is not part of the ROO but is added to the outlay.

• Price - Any amount deposited under 0.5 BTC is considered a BitShare purchase
• ROO Options - BitShares have a compulsory ROO target amount of 0.5 BTC
• Making a deposit into a BitShare deposit address, regardless of the amount, is a Contract to double the investment funds by default
• There will be a 48 hr grace period where an investor will be able to convert a BitShare deposit amount of 0.5 BTC in increments of 0.5 BTC into a Standard Contract or increments of 1.5 BTC into Founders Contract
• The investor may also select the option to have BitShare deposits placed on HORDer
• The investor can have funds that they have deposited into their BitShare account split into whatever combination they choose including having newly deposited funds credited to an existing HORDer

Standard Contracts:

• Price - 0.5 BTC
• Options - ROO

Founders Contracts:

• Price - 1.5 BTC
• Options - ROO
• Additional Outlay - Adds Share dividends that are from an outlay of 30% of company profits divided between total Shareholders minus a 30% fee deduction from the Shareholders portion. The fee deductions is distributed to Shareholders who purchased from an earlier HPC. Since the older investment has done more work over time, it would not be fair to the older investment if a newer investment received an equal return on the same investment amount. To make it more fair to those who have been invested longer, the 30% portion is deducted and payed to the investor above them. It also would not be fair to keep the 30% fee forever, so the fee will decay at a rate of 5% (for the following 6 HPCs). The first Shareholders to purchase a Founders Contract will be at the top of the stack in the HPC and will not have the fee deducted from their outlay but will initially receive 30% of the outlay of those Shareholders that purchase in an HPC after them. The placement of a Shareholder is based on time and position, so purchasing one Founders Contract puts the Shareholder above the next purchaser, even if that purchaser is the same Shareholder. So, the Shareholder would receive the fee from their own Share that is in the stack just below them. If a Shareholder purchased 10 Founders Contracts then they hold 10 positions in the same layer of the stack. When another investor purchases a Founders Contract for the following HPC , he fee would go to the first (by number) of the positions in the layer of the stack above the new investors position. This would continue until all 10 positions have a Share beneath it in the stack. The fee is cumulative, so, the fee a Shareholder receives will include a cumulative amount from the shares below each HPC)

I am instituting an escrow account with SabastianJu for funds that are designated for hardware purchases. The funds deposited in the escrow account must be in multiples of 0.5 BTC.  All funds deposited into the escrow account will be considered to be Standard Contract purchases unless the Founders Contract terms are met. Any overages (amounts under 0.5 BTC) or deposits under 0.5 BTC that are deposited into the escrow account will be converted into BitShares.

Members of The First 100 Club. If you haven't already, post a reply in The SolarWind Mining Company (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=297334.msg3190519) Official Thread and receive one Bitshare worth 0.001 BTC. If you have already post in the official thread you will receive the credit.

Thanks!

If you would like to start earning a profit immediately I have access to a limited supply of mining hardware from a local source. It is older equipment but I can acquire it at a very low price. Once I have received a sufficient amount of investment funds I can have the units purchased, installed and operational in a matter of an hour or so. The total hashing power I have access to is about 1500-2000GH/S. At the current bitcoin exchange rate of ~ $145 I can purchase 1GH/s for about 0.17 BTC.
