If given a choice to walk away with either Bitcoin or gold of equivalent value, what would you pick? Asians and Westerners were asked in Taipei in Chinese and English if they would take Bitcoin or gold home with them that day, and the answer might surprise you... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6GiC8dqN9AWe just shot a video outside the Taipei 101 skyscraper area here and gave people a chance to answer if they would walk away with either Bitcoin or gold- and why. If you were approached and were offered the same deal, would you walk away with Bitcoin or gold in your pocket, and why??? I prefer gold because gold prices always go up With the ever bitcoin another case with an uncertain price at any time

You can buy bitcoin from ATMs if there is one near where you live. These ATMs buy from an exchange and sell them to you with a 3%-5% fee. I am not sure if this is what you want, off exchange with no KYC verifications?
is easier and cheaper to buy bitcoi of bitcoin available atm.? whether bitcoin prices follow stock prices

Economy / Lending / Re: [LOAN] 0.2BTC - Development funds - collateral included

Keeping this short and simple
Escrow: for domains yes Amount: 0.2BTC Interest rate: Make an offer Duration: Expected repayment is less than a few days, but to be safe I'll make it a maximum of one week Collateral: godaddy account with 20~ Domains, two of which are premium but I won't count the prices on those Standard domain (.com) is $10 I'm quite sure totalling to $200 worth of domains, I'll transfer the not-in-use domains to the escrow
Procedure is I'll have to transfer the domains to escrow, once confirmed receipt coins are sent After one week and loans are not paid, escrow is more than welcome to send over domains to the lender, you may sell these domains (some are pretty high PR) and get the money back.
The purpose of the loan is for development costs on one of these domains, so I guarantee the return but of course collateral is always necessary for lenders sake.
If you would like a list of domains or proof of ownership, PM me.
Thank you!
Your confidence level is very bad I'm sure no one gives a loan against your

Introduction:Empty pockets and need some BTC for a few days? Having some short-term casflow problems? You're at the right spot, I can help you out. Most lenders need colleteral, while I encourage people to put in collateral I'm also willing to deal without collateral. This is a business with alot of trust involed, I'm only able to keep on helping you if defaults stay near 0. I can give more favorable terms to users who do wish to use collateral, such as larger loan amounts if requested. My Interest Rates and Terms:Interest 1% a day (compounded) with a minimum of 2%. For example, if you need a 3 day loan you'll pay 3.0301% interest, if you need a 1 day loan you'll pay 2% interest. Add up to BTC0.0005 to cover transactions costs on my side. Minimum loan size without collateral: BTC0.01 Maximum loan size without collateral: BTC0.05 (negotiable) I won't be giving out loans to newbie members or members with negative trust score. Requesting a Loan:- How much do you want? - Where will it be used for? - In how many days will principal + interest be paid back? - How will you be repaying the loan? (mining, signature, advertising, salary, etc) I reserve the right to decline any loan request without motivation.Payment of principal + interest should be repayed to my wallet: 1A3VRGGC5fSgeTJV9Ws3kyHyNomzUB87Px If you have any further questions, just let me know. PS: I won't be sending out positive trust feedback for repaid loans. I will sent out negative feedback for non-repaid loans. Current loan status: Lostshare [btc]0.05 amount to be repaid [btc]0.054 by 28th of June Jaberwock [btc]0.05 amount to be repaid [btc]0.054143 by 1st of July Jaaawsh [btc]0.025 amount to be repaid [btc]0.02680338 by 1st of July Justus [btc]0.045 amount to be repaid [btc]0.04826841 by 1st of July if you are not afraid of losing your money if the person who borrowed the money you lied. you should be careful good luck

Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Solar powered mining only during sunlight and without batteries
|

There's been numerous heated discussions comparing solar power and grid power. One thing that I have never seen being discussed is using solar panels without batteries, and mining only during sunlight, and not grid tied.
Ideally, everything would work great when there is full sunlight and the solar panels are producing electricity at full capacity.
The part that I don't know is what might happen in the morning or evening when the sun is low in the sky and the solar panels are only generating a fraction of its capacity.
Just for argument's sake, let's say the mining rig is an Antminer S1 drawing 300-watts of power at 12VDC and two 12V 300-watt solar panels providing 600-watts of power during peak sunlight.
My question is, what will happen in the morning and evening when the solar panels are only producing, say, 100-watts of power? Will the Antminer S1 work at a much lower hash rate? Or could it be damaged due to insufficient power? What if during the day, dark clouds came rolling in and the power fluctuates between 50-watts and 400-watts?
Is there some kind of pre-built device or protection circuit that can regulate the power to at least 300-watts? I suppose a small battery can be added just to normalize fluctuations so that the regulator won't cycle the power too frequently.
I'm sure it will not work because to do bitcoin mining tools require a great power, but if the battery has a large capacity
