Sun, 28 Aug 2011 19:51:03 -0700 Top 5 Reasons to own SolidCoins http://thorax11.posterous.com/top-5-reasons-to-own-solidcoins http://thorax11.posterous.com/top-5-reasons-to-own-solidcoins

Everyone is wary of something new, for good reason. Trust takes time to build, and knowing some good reasons for adopting something new is important, here are the top 5 reasons we think you should switch from Bitcoins to SolidCoins.

 

Reason 1 - Speed

SolidCoin transactions happen faster and more reliably than Bitcoin. If you've ever used Bitcoin you know sometimes it can take many hours before you can do something with them. It is 2011, businesses and users expect things to happen much faster than this. They don't want to tell their customers "it could be one to 12 hours before that goes through".

 

Reason 2 - Security

Most people are unaware that Bitcoin is vulnerable to a drop off in mining power, the recent failure of Ixcoins proved this perfectly. People holding IXCoins could barely transfer them or do anything with them. Bitcoin is vulnerable to the exact same thing, if too many miners drop off (for instance to mine SolidCoins) the entire network could collapse leaving people with no way to get their Bitcoins out or do anything with them.

SolidCoin's new and intelligent algorithm ensures that even if miners drop off, the network continues to function smoothly. This is something businesses and users demand, utmost reliability they can move their coins around. Tomorrow you could wake up and not be able to do anything with your Bitcoins, leaving you at high risk of losing most of your investment.

 

Reason 3 - We make it easy

Unlike most of the Bitcoin developers we have developed commercial sites which have used Bitcoin as a currency for our users. There are massive gaps in the developer environment that make failures like MyBitcoin likely to occur again. The reputation of an online currency is utmost, if every second day there is a new successful hack attempt against sites which use Bitcoins how is it going to gain general use?

Why should you need to be a 20 year programming veteran to use Bitcoin properly and securely? SolidCoin has already improved the API to be more like that of a proper banking system, and with the coming updates will make it even easier for the average business owner to adopt SolidCoins.

 

Reason 4 - Fairer

Over the first 48 hours of SolidCoin's existence over 2000 people became owners of the currency. A week later it was 10000. Unlike Bitcoin's startup which ensured nearly all the currency ended up with only a handful of people. These people have since vanished and cashed out, to leave the project to stagnate with little support from early adopters.

SolidCoin on the other hand have early adopters that want an internet currency to succeed, and it has thousands of them, many of which have donated to the cause. We have learnt from the mistakes of Bitcoin and made a better and more equal system for the world, combined with a faster and more intelligent network.

 

Reason 5 - A plan for the future

Bitcoin's developers appear to have no clear direction to take Bitcoin. It has stagnated for some time and is being pulled in many conflicting directions. Recently one of the main developers stated the possibility of Bank of America running the Bitcoin network. One of the worst banks in the Financial Crisis to take the reigns of a decentralized internet currency? Does that sound like something you want to support?

We know that people want an easy to use internet currency that is decentralized from the existing banking system. We know people want to pay low fees. We know people want near instant transactions. We know how to scale the network securely when SolidCoin becomes bigger than the Visa/Mastercard networks. If you agree with all of this you know the future for SolidCoin is bright, we're not afraid to put our intentions in the light where you can see them.

If you enjoy music, and who doesn't.  Why not get paid for your feedback on new artist trying to make it in the music world and it cost nothing to join these music focus groups. Putting a little extra money in your account and listening to cool music is great.

Musicxray also is a great way for music executives to find new artist.  You can upload your own original music and it could be discovered by music industry executives.  Check out what executives are looking for in the opportunities section of the site. Take a look at various artist that were signed to contracts with actual record labels.

  Did you know that almost $33 billion dollars is being held by state treasuries and other agencies in the U.S.? In New York State alone the amount that is currently unclaimed is $10.5 billion dollars.  Unclaimed property can be bank accounts, stock certificates, bonds, safe deposit boxes, travelers checks, refunds, and insurance policies.  I found out from a search that I had a few dollars in an old bank account that I had forgotten about several years ago.  Two friends of mine also had money waiting for them as well.

Tue, 05 Oct 2010 12:33:00 -0700 John Mackey, my hero http://thorax11.posterous.com/john-mackey-my-hero http://thorax11.posterous.com/john-mackey-my-hero
While it has become necessary to raise the salary cap at Whole Foods to help ensure the retention of our key leadership, this is not true in my case. The tremendous success of Whole Foods Market has provided me with far more money than I ever dreamed I'd have and far more than is necessary for either my financial security or personal happiness. I continue to work for Whole Foods not because of the money I can make but because of the pleasure I get from leading such a great company, and the ongoing passion I have to help make the world a better place, which Whole Foods is continuing to do. I am now 53 years old and I have reached a place in my life where I no longer want to work for money, but simply for the joy of the work itself and to better answer the call to service that I feel so clearly in my own heart. Beginning on January 1, 2007, my salary will be reduced to $1 per year and I will no longer take any other cash compensation at all. I will continue to receive the same benefits that all other Team Members receive, including the food discount card and health insurance. The intention of the Board of Directors is for Whole Foods Market to donate all the future stock options I would be eligible to receive to our two company foundations — The Whole Planet Foundation and The Animal Compassion Foundation. In case there is some technical, tax, or legal reason why these stock options cannot be given to our two foundations, then I will retain future option grants and will pledge to donate 100% of the gain from those options to the foundations. This donation of future options received doesn't apply to the stock options already issued to me prior to January 1, 2007.

 

If every CEO of a major corporation in the United States thought the same way and acted as Mr. Mackey has done we would not be in the mess that we currently are in.  Most talk the talk while the very few walk the walk.  Keep on walking Mr. Mackey!

Sun, 26 Sep 2010 05:00:00 -0700 Out-of-this-world proposal for solar wind power - tech - 24 September 2010 - New Scientist http://thorax11.posterous.com/out-of-this-world-proposal-for-solar-wind-pow http://thorax11.posterous.com/out-of-this-world-proposal-for-solar-wind-pow

Forget wind power or conventional solar power, the world's energy needs could be met 100 billion times over using a satellite to harness the solar wind and beam the energy to Earth – though focussing the beam could be tricky.

The concept for the so-called Dyson-Harrop satellite begins with a long metal wire loop pointed at the sun. This wire is charged to generate a cylindrical magnetic field that snags the electrons that make up half the solar wind. These electrons get funnelled into a metal spherical receiver to produce a current, which generates the wire's magnetic field – making the system self-sustaining.

Any current not needed for the magnetic field powers an infrared laser trained on satellite dishes back on Earth, designed to collect the energy. Air is transparent to infrared so Earth's atmosphere won't suck up energy from the beam before it reaches the ground.

Back on the satellite, the current has been drained of its electrical energy by the laser – the electrons fall onto a ring-shaped sail, where incoming sunlight can re-energise them enough to keep the satellite in orbit around the sun.

A relatively small Dyson-Harrop satellite using a 1-centimetre-wide copper wire 300 metres long, a receiver 2 metres wide and a sail 10 metres in diameter, sitting at roughly the same distance from the sun as the Earth, could generate 1.7 megawatts of power – enough for about 1000 family homes in the US.

A satellite with the same-sized receiver at the same distance from the sun but with a 1-kilometre-long wire and a sail 8400 kilometres wide could generate roughly 1 billion billion gigawatts (1027 watts) of power, "which is actually 100 billion times the power humanity currently requires", says researcher Brooks Harrop, a physicist at Washington State University in Pullman who designed the satellite.

Since the satellites are made up mostly of copper, they would be relatively easy to construct. "This satellite is actually something that we can build, using modern technology and delivery methods," Harrop says.

Satellites laden with solar panels that can beam their energy down 24 hours a day have been discussed for decades. California agreed last December to a deal involving the sale of space-based solar power. Solar panels cost more per pound than the copper making up the Dyson-Harrop satellites, so according to Harrop, "the cost of a solar wind power satellite project should be lower than a comparative solar panel project".

So far so good, but there is one major drawback. To draw significant amounts of power Dyson-Harrop satellites rely on the constant solar wind found high above the ecliptic – the plane defined by the Earth's orbit around the sun. Consequently, the satellite would lie tens of millions of kilometres from the Earth. Over those distances, even a sharp laser beam would spread to thousands of kilometres wide by the time it reached Earth.

"Two megawatts spread across areas that large are meaningless, less than moonlight," says John Mankins, president of consultancy firm Artemis Innovation which specialises in space solar power. To beam power from a Dyson-Harrop satellite to Earth, one "would require stupendously huge optics, such as a virtually perfect lens between maybe 10 to 100 kilometres across," he says.

He also points out that the wire could burn out due to the huge current coursing through it, although he has not performed the calculations to gauge the probability of that occurring. But he does say that a smaller version of this "clever and interesting" satellite could help power some space missions. "I could imagine uses for this idea outside of the plane of the ecliptic, such as helping generate power for something like the Ulysses spacecraft, which went around the poles of the sun."

Simple Fix.

Fri Sep 24 14:41:57 BST 2010 by Dave

So the beam spread out too much over the vast distances.

Easy fix.

Set up a satellite relay. Each satelite has a lens to re-focus the beam to the next satellite. The satellites can even be equiped with reflectors so you can bend the beam

Simple Fix.

well, easy to conceptualize, not easy to pull off. Remember all of those satelites have to be in a sustainable synchronis orbit, there's NO room for error when focusing beams back to an array on earth over these kinds of distances.

We would be allowing any tiny meteorite to deflect our entire power supply with a minor bump. We need to have the ability to perform microadjustments across the entire array in real time. Not what I'd call easy.

Thermal Equilibrium?

Fri Sep 24 19:46:06 BST 2010 by Rob

Lets assume for a moment we got a large chunk of energy this way. When when its done its useful work it ends up as heat.

In effect more solar energy is being received by Earth.

Does this have any appreciable effect on our thermal equilibrium?

Conversely could a large scale implementation head off some future ice age in a geo-engineering application? In this case the lack of focus wouldn't seem to be a problem.

10^27 Watts

Fri Sep 24 20:15:44 BST 2010 by Darth

Yes, if I wanted to obliterate a planet, I would aim billions of billions of gigawatts of power in a narrow beam... where is all that heat going to go? When we use energy, it doesn't go away - we just change it into another form (didn't we learn that as far back as elementary school?). More energy isn't a logical answer - more efficiency and less consumption. I'm not advocating radical-left conservation, but we need, desperately, to get rid of our addiction (requiring more and more of something to achieve the same results).

10^27 Watts

Fri Sep 24 22:30:54 BST 2010 by Mal

I doesn't matter about adding energy/heat, we are stuck with the fact that we are already converting locked up energy that is already here, coal, wind, solar, nuclear etc.. It doesn't add heat until we use it. If we need a million, or what ever the figure is, Gigawatts of energy to run the world per year, then that will be converted into the same amount of heat if it were to come from coal or beamed solar energy!

10^27 Watts

Sun Sep 26 09:47:13 BST 2010 by John Rumsey

We should be trying to avoid any energy sources that add to the total amount of heat in our atmosphere and oceans. These include: fossil fuels, nuclear (both fission and fusion), and energy beamed in from space.

We should be encouraging renewable energy sources (biofuels, solar, wind, wave, tidal, hydroelectric) that use energy that is already in the system.
