1008  Economy / Speculation / Re: Potential Killer App: Power storage on: February 06, 2015, 01:43:32 PM
Power companies face a big problem: they generally have the ability to produce power at a more or less constant rate while the demand for that power fluctuates sometimes dramatically. Many schemes to store power have been designed such at giant batteries, artificial lakes with pumps and turbines, massive coils, etc, but non have proven efficient or cost-effective.

A potential solution to this problem could be giant bitcoin mining farms that the power companies only run during off-peak hours. Rather than storing the electricity, the power companies use it to generate bitcoins or other crypto that they can store much more easily. Then they can sell the bitcoins rather than selling the surplus electricity.

The nearly free electricy would put them at a competitive advantage over other miners and the ability to more fully utilize their power generation equipment would put them at a competitive advantage over other power producers.

Thoughts? Comments?

>Power companies face a big problem

No, they do not.  A modern power grid has multiple interconnected powers stations absorbing the fluctuating load.  Less efficient generators (coal burners, etc.) are brought online to absorb intermittent spikes in demand.  Shit is planned.  Pricing is also structured to minimize flux (prices higher for periods of peak use).

>A potential solution to this problem could be giant bitcoin mining farms

Giant mining farms standing idle most of the time?

TL;DR:  The wizzkids of today have invented electrical wire, allowing power to be transported from places where it ain't needed to those where it is.  They have also invented alternating current & transformers to make this transport relatively efficient.  There's little "wasted" capacity.  No need to come up with convoluted scheme to justify PoW mining.

If we invite people to donate bitcoin to put a contract on some of the trolls through silk road, that might send us beyond $1250.

In 30 days we have US regulation coming onto statute.

Bullish!  From Wikipedia, the free online encyclopędia:

"With the advent of the internet and the ability to create web sites easily without any regulatory involvement, as well as the ability to operate from other jurisdictions, pyramid schemes have continued to operate into the 21st century. It is easy for scammers to set up a web site in one country, operate from another country and target victims in a third country, hiding their identity and making it difficult to trace them. Financial regulation varies significantly from country to country, and some countries deliberately promote low regulatory environments in order to attract financial business. This makes it easy for bitcoin criminals to use this to their advantage. Financial Regulatory Authorities in each country have significant difficulty enforcing rules on scammers in other countries. With low financial literacy by investors or victims (particularly in the increasingly complex ways that global financial markets operate), and without better coordination between financial regulators in different countries, bitcoin enthusiasts continue to operate." --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin

The fact that the last super-dumps have roughly moved the price by a gnats fart only to steadily rise again to $220-230 makes me feel something I haven't done for over a year, genuinely optimistic.

Lol, it worked.  Again Cheesy

any commodity in finite supply will have to gain value. Supply and demand, Baby...

How are you set for BTCeanies?  Don't miss the boat, freedom fighter!

If I could stash a million beany babies on a jump drive or email them, then maybe I'd be stocking up. But I doubt it because you would have to trust the manufacturer to limit the supply instead of merely just reading the source code that DEFINES a beany baby as one of only 21 million.

21 million can be changed with a hardfork as easily as blocksize.  Lrn 2 Bitcoin pl0x.

Re. emailing Beanies:  Just like sidechains will be implemented to make Bitcoin useful as a currency (yeah, 7TPS is shit), new apps & technology layers will develop for BTCeanies.  The fundamentals are improving all the time!

Thanks for the coins, Dumpmonkeys!  Keep it up; I've got thousands and thousands of fiat FRNs I need to get rid of before the short squeeze.

Also, there are millions of bitcoins owned by unknown people with unknown intentions.
Just don't take out any loans to buy those "cheap coins".

How'z that any different than all the billions of unknown people who own dollars with unknown intentions? ...

Well, dollar criminals don't keep diaries, so there's that...



They don't? There's an entire industry of forensic accountants who beg to differ.

No no, I mean literally keep a diary, regale us with their trials & tribulations.
No need for forensic accountants, it's more of a confessional/deep probing questions like "I wonder if my new buddy, who's totally not a basement-dwelling neckbeard but the CEO of Hell's Angels, really killed all the folks I asked him to kill, or just scooted off into the sunset with the million dollars I gave him?  Dear diary, if you can't trust your hitman, who can you trust?  What a world, what a world..."
