With the bitcoin mining landscape being characterized by runway increases in difficulty for the near future do you really need to throw a MLM type structure onto the shares with all of the negative connotations that brings to this already questionably valued asset?
What sort of contingency plan do you have for an event in which you can't meet the promised returns? Given the history of most attempts at mining investments, are there plans for a potential failure beyond taking the money and walking briskly into the sunset?
Thanks for asking a specific question instead of just making a broad statement that is thinly veiled as a question (like some have done,) My contingency plan, if The SolarWind Mining Company fails to deliver on its commitments (unlikely considering the amazing crew that this venture has attracted,) is simply not to fail. Unfortunately, even the best laid plans can fail to be realized, even with Herculean efforts to succeed. So practically speaking, if such failure seems eminent, SolarWind will begin the process of perusing other options to fulfill its obligations. If necessary, all assets will be liquidated and the proceeds distributed to the Partners (that means all shareholders except the company itself.) If all else fails I'll work it off with mine own two hands. Assuming that The SolarWind Mining Company reaches a stage where it is realizing a profit for both its Partners and the company, SolarWind will use a portion of the company profits to diversify its operations in order to further increase Partner profits, and to meet several additional goals. Here are some of the plans for the expansion of The SolarWind Mining Company: Development, both in the areas of software and hardware - Financial and business services - The promotion of the Bitcoin Ideology - scientific research in the areas of computer engineering, physics, artificial intelligence and a host of other scientific disciplines - there is also a vast litany of various altruistic and humanitarian projects that I would like to be included in future of SolarWind. I may not be the most 'sophisticated' individual and I have trouble with using the standard approaches and business models (thank (insert your own deity) for Bradley,) but what I am is a very good problem solver. I have the mental flexibility to adjust to most any situation and I have very specific goals. My goals as a man are focused towards helping others, being as kind as I can, improve their lives when possible, encourage and inspire the downtrodden and lowly of spirit, in other words I care a great deal about the well being of people in general. My goals with SolarWind are based on my personal and intellectual goals. I am practical enough to know the limits that are applied to the given situation. The primary goal of SolarWind is to help the least of us to aspire to the greatest heights. In the earliest stages of the development of this project, I believed that the companies greatest supporters would be the little guys or gals that just recently became involved in the bitcoin world. Many of these individuals have come in too late to use their GPUs to mine bitcoin, yet they still have given it a valiant effort. Otherwise, why do you think there is so much interest in altcoins? Its because these individuals are really passionate about the Bitcoin Ideology but feel as though they have been locked out by the big miners. To many of them have been gulled into purchasing hardware that came too late and had insufficient hashing power by the time they received their miners to be of much use. The only way to compensate for this disadvantage is to increase our power by working as a collective. Offering BitShares that are, once invested in, consistently doubled is a great way to help concentrate each others efforts for the benefit of all involved. That is the main reason that I have structured the company shares the way I have. Anyone can invest any amount no matter how small and it will double many fold until they actually have enough bitcoin to work with. The BitShare concept will allow individuals who don't even have mining gear to invest and make a profit, even 0,00001 BTC will grow pretty quickly when it is consistently doubled, so just going to a few free bitcoin faucets will yield a nice return with the way I have structured the shares. To be honest, I would be more satisfied if the majority of the funds from share purchases where from free faucets, a host of BitShare Miners using crappy nvidia GPUs and the few hopefuls that are willing to give it a go, than if a large number of bitcoin pros who have had it good for the majority of the life of bitcoin started throwing a bunch of BTC at SolarWind. The pros don't need my help, those who are less fortunate and have little resources do! These are MY TRUE PARTNERS, and they are not "sockpuppets!" But I digress, If you want more details, Bradley, SolarWinds right hand man, is working on a solid business plan and as quickly as he gets things done, I expect to have it out soon. Check back later for more details... Thanks again for asking a question with real substance! |

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. 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! |

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 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. Is there some morsel of substance in there? Not everyone is going to be smoothed away by this contentless musing. Some of the things you suggest I am working on,
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? |

Hi SolarWindMiningCompany
when will the site be online ?
I had someone working on the website, but they had other obligations and is not able to finish. I could build the website myself but I am short on time and some aspects of the site would require a steep learning curve. BRADLEYPLOOF and I are both working on getting someone else to get the site back on track. Will keep you updated, and again, I really appreciate the support you guys have been giving us. Thanks! |

This is a company, its primary purpose is to earn a profit for all of its partners.
Probably time to see here, 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. 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.

hello!
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.

Many of you have asked when the website will be up. Well, its not quite ready. Since so many are curious to see the website (especially since I indicated that it was going to be absolutely Awesome!), I thought I would give you all a sneak peak at what to expect. I have been working on creating the company logo. I was not satisfied by many of the cut and paste style logos that I had found across the web, they just didn't do justice to my vision of how I want the public face of SolarWind to look. So, being not to bad at art, I decided to use my tablet PC, styles and the latest version of MyPaint to make my own from scratch. So here is a look at the not yet finished product. Hope you like it, and I hope it gets you excited about seeing the website when its ready.  Work in progress: The SolarWind Mining Company Logo

~ About Us ~
The SolarWind Mining Company 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 bitcoin community. The company will start off by installing a series of bitcoin mining rigs with an initial goal of 100 TH/S worth of mining power. A primary goal of The SolarWind Mining Company is to phase in the use of solar and wind power, among multiple other sources of low cost energy, to reduce electrical expenses (an important factor that effects bitcoin mining profitability.) Initially, these low cost energy methods will be interspersed with grid fed power to lower the cost of operations and producing the most profit. It is a goal of The SolarWind Mining Company to eliminate the use of electricity off of the grid to any extent possible, if not entirely. SolarWind will use multiple methods to save energy as well (e.g. Waste heat generated from the operation of mining hardware will be recycled, creating another source of electricity, or, as a heating source for hot water and the offices at the mining facility during colder weather.) Primary operations will be set up in an area of Kansas that, for the majority of the year, has an abundance of wind and sunshine. SolarWind will utilize the wind and sunshine to operate wind turbine generators and solar panels to minimize electrical costs. Hashing power increases will be implemented as necessary to generate further income and to insure that SolarWind is able to fulfill its commitments to the Shareholders. Mission Statement: At The SolarWind Mining Company, 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, to expand to include multiple mining locations, and to be 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.

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... 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) |

Well, I do then wish you success,  I completely support the idea, I think all miners should be looking at the green power initiative. Miners are only as good as the power grid, independent or nearly independent power helps ensure the survival of Bitcoin and derived digital currencies. I intend BlockBurner to someday utilize green tech this way as well as a beacon on sustainable business. I have a fairly critical eye on these forums so I don't mean to be negative, though I do find a lack of deployment schedule/ROI figures/ startup capital needs/ etc a bit off putting along with fairly new accounts here. More details in this regard is what I would be more curious to see, though the share plan has been mapped out. That aside, best of luck with this I hope to see it take shape.,  Thanks for the kind words, its very rewarding to be recognized and encouraged when you put allot of effort into something like this. Believe me, I understand the need for a critical eye and I don't think your being negative. We are under the gun of a strict time limit so I have been forced to rush things a bit. I have been working on getting the information you have suggested out as quickly as I can for several day's now and have released what information I believe to be the most reliable. I will try to get more information out as soon as I can. Thanks again for your interest and your advice, I find it highly valuable. |

Not gonna lie, thoroughly confused.
But I did say hello!
Sorry, MAbtc... it was directed at MidwestMiner Project announced on the bitcointalk 'newbies' forum. Seems solid.
Thanks for your reply, You didn't actually say 'Hello', but I'll include you in 'The First 100' anyway. Good Luck! |

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
Really? Wow, this might workout better than I thought!  (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 ) |

This sounds great, you must also be developing a website for this, right?
You bet, 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.  |

Promotion means nothing without something to back it up
Thanks for your reply, and you make a very good point Operatr. So let me tell you what that something is that backs up The SolarWind Mining Company, it's people like BRADLEYPLOOF, this guy is a true believer in the bitcoin ideology and he was donating his own time and BTC to promote bitcoin long before he started to promote the company. I couldn't have asked for a better spokesperson, he works hard, takes the initiative and acts accordingly. He is so enthusiastic about the project that if I'm not careful he'll take over the whole thing and he'll be running the whole show! Here is what else backs this company, me and my determination to help every partner to succeed. I am committed to fulfill my obligations and stand up to my promises, there are only two things that can stop me from doing so. One, that there isn't enough support to get SolarWind up and fully operational (unlikely since BRADLEYPLOOF and I are probably to stubborn too let that happen. With a small rag tag collection of people running GPU miners to buy their shares and a handful of hopeful investors or with the support of the greater bitcoin community, either way, well get it done!) The second reason, I die and no one else wants to take care of SolarWinds partners the way I will. I could say that we have umpteen million bitcoins and a whole bunch of other fancy resources, but none of that, even if true, would compare to what I just described about BRADLEYPLOOF and myself. And I know that BRADLEYPLOOF's kind of enthusiasm is contagious and if SolarWind had a handful more of dedicated people like him, nothing could stop SolarWind from succeeding, even if it hit The SolarWind Mining Company with a Mac Truck. So, to show you how serious I am, I'm giving everyone that has replied above my post in this thread and not in the main thread a free BitShare worth 0,01 BTC. You don't have to do anything else except claim the BitShare when the website is up and running and when The SolarWind Mining Company is fully operational and mining bitcoin, your going to profit a total of 1 BTC just for the little 'bit' of time you invested in replying to the post of my good friend and one of the best business partners one could ever hope to have, BRADLEYPLOOF. I thank all of you for your time, and I wish you well in all your endeavors! ~SolarWind, A Bitcoin Mining Company |

Project announced on the bitcointalk 'newbies' forum. Seems solid.
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! |

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.
