I'd like some bitcoins, and I have some unused Australian $20 iTunes vouchers. So I'd like to sell iTunes cards for btc.

Non-Australians can also use the voucher by opening an Australian itunes store account, that will also give you access to free AUS content.

Let me know via PM or reply. I'll try IRC next to see if anyone wants to do the deal.

If I'm too new to risk this, I'm happy to meet in Sydney over coffee and do the deal in person. Otherwise tell me how to make it happen.

So make me an offer, obviously you'll get it at less than AUD20 at current market rates. I'll sell the first one for $15

edit I've updated the subject line

Do you still have the cables or anything else mining related?

I thought you weren't able to connect anything but hot water systems to Off peak power? That doesn't make sense as EV's should recharge then, but that's what I'd heard.

Sydney Australia

regulated power rates are AUD (close enough to parity with USD)
3 month billing (88-92 days)
$0.4800 per day deliver called an SAC +10% GST
1st 1755kWh per 3 months @ $0.206 per kWh +10% GST
over 1755kWh per 3 months @ $0.291 per kWh +10% GST

Anyone an negotiate a 5% or 10% reduction by going on a contract.

Dodo is offering around $0.23 per kWh +10% GST

prices will rise around 9% on 1 July 2012 and at least that amount every year for the next 3 years.

Plus we now have a new carbon tax - not sure of the price effect on that.

We have the world's largest supply of coal for electricity generation. We export it to China. But we seem to have hugely expensive consumer electricity prices despite using coal locally.

I'm either a not-yet wildly-successful entrepreneur or a slacker lay-about depending on who you ask. My brother-in-law has money on the latter.

I'm smarter than the average bear. But so are 50% of bears and up to 60% of humans with internet access.

I am attracted to the philosophical freedoms bitcoin represents. Having some money launderers and crooks sniffing around is the cost of those freedoms.

I'm about to build a test rig using 2x5970's and will see if I'm any good at system building and configuration.

At current prices of BTC and electricity downunder, it makes more sense to buy BTC at an exchange for now. However I have some mates who work in photovoltaic research, which may make this a viable output of their renewable energy experiments. Of course it depends on what the grid pays for electricity.
