I recall a while ago, someone noted they are fine paying multiple times more for electricity than most because most of his electricity purchased is generated through relatively clean, renewable sources.

I was wondering, then, if there would be any interest in paying a premium for mining contracts where minimal electricity is used, and all electricity used comes from solar, or another relatively clean, renewable generation source. Let's say the current going-rate /share @ GPUMax is .001/share at the time. If you would pay a premium for "green" bitcoins, how much over .001/share would you pay?

The first is by definition not flawed.

Why? Because it is ECO?

If you can use the solar power to make it cheaper long term
it might be interesting.

You would need to show that it is sound numbers to demand more upfront
cause your running expenses are lower.

I doubt it but would certainly be open to see the numbers Cheesy

don't let me make you question your assumptions
