Leasing solar definitely not cost competitive here. Your lease likely won't save much money off of current electricity costs, you don't qualify for tax breaks because you don't own the system, you add quite a bit of debt burden to your house that has to be assumed by the next buyer, and at the end of the lease term, you don't own anything.

Now if you could finance buying a solar system with a refinance of your mortgage, and you lived in an area amenable to solar, THEN you might start being able to think about it being worthit.

bump

I would be willing to pay .1 for a valid invite

why would someone pay X bitcoins for Y amount of bitcoins if Y<X?

The "Very Short Introduction" series is actually highly readable and not at all dumbed down (not comprehensive, but not dumbed down). I highly recommend

A VSI to Anarchism is excellent

--

Hardt and Negri's trilogy Empire / Multitude / Commonwealth is very good, though may be a bit too Marxist for most folks here

--

Ursula LeGuin's The Dispossessed is my favorite piece of anarchist dystopia/utopia fiction

amorphous (but very concerned with freedom and justice and fairness) -> Libertarian (capital L) -> Green Party -> Anarchism (amorphous) -> Anarcho-Communist -> Autonomism -> Anarchism(amorphous)

Have a strong tendency towards mutualism or an open ended non-coercive society with weak property rights

Personally I have very strong egalitarian tendencies and would like to live and work with others that have strong egalitarian tendencies in a mixed communal/market/gift economy.

But i don't feel any need to force those views on others.

yes, as problematic as wikileaks has become (would really like a bunch of secure leaking services, preferably not just one that seems to be run by a megalomaniacal jerk (and possibly rapist) that wants their leakers to sign NDAs to ensure they have a monopoly on leaked info) they have already done a ton of good, and it is always depressing to me when I see how few bitcoins they have been donated (unless they are bringing in large btc donations on one-time use addresses)

why depressing?

people seem to think bitcoins need to displace USD to be a "success". Bitcoins can be successful if they are only essentially a floating exchange rate used to both store value and transfer money and picked up by the industries that need it. You don't ever need to be able to spend bitcoins at the supermarket for them to be useful.

been there since early on

Exposure works every time. Thanks OP.

are you using dummy plugs?

switch to Linux?

I am running Windows 7 with 2 5830s, a 5770, and a 6870 (4 cards) all working fine, overclocked, overvoltage, stock drivers, and PCI>PCIx16 adapters for 2 of them using phoenix. I do have to use dummy plugs though.

I contacted them, they said they "fixed it promptly" after being contacted by OP. Can someone confirm that it is fixed or not?

Official? Wha?

Virwox response please?

[If VirWox does not respond quickly, I would urge all BTC folks to take business elsewhere.]

cost of a btc has nothing to do with cost to mine it. mining difficulty will naturally seek an equilibrium based on worth of btc. worth of btc is determined by demand for them (increase of supply is set up to remain known) - nothing more, nothing less. not sure why this fallacy is repeated over and over again on these boards.

also not sure how a few days of no fluctuation equals "stability" in a currency that has still increased many times in value over the past 30 days, much less the past year. Give me three months with no more than +-1% per day fluctuations and no greater than +-5% fluctuations overall and we can start talking about price stability.

Used? Wow I thought I did good selling one for $155 new. I mean, I did still do good, profited off a card I wasn't going to use. Due diligence -- people gotta get better at it.

What would be the benefits of this over third party escrow or arbitration services that don't require changes to the block chain?

Also access to mining data from other pools would be nice. Hopefully some miners from dif pools can contrib some code. Thanks for your work looks great! Will definitely buy from app store if it lands there.

by then the plan is that transaction costs will provide enough reward for the miners

Yes, it is just another way in which the international criminal conglomerate of corporate/state interests can make the average person continue to "suck it up" and "sacrifice" while they laugh all the way to the bank (that they own and run).
