I don't know what numbers you're running, what you guys are stating makes no sense to me.
Do anyone of you even touched a solar panel IRL? Seen one? Bought one?

I'm not sure how touching one would enlighten me about the numbers behind buying one but whatever.
In central EU it would cost me about $7200 to have a decent (5kw) unit that would provide me with 630 watts 0-24h on average.
Using 630 watts 0-24h with $0.14/kWh costs $760 a year so that's over 9 years before reaching ROI.
So yeah, you might be able to get your hands on some super cheap solar panels+inverter+batteries but I'd much rather pay the $0.14 with a grin on my face and spend that $7k on more hardware.
ROI takes a really long time. However, you'll probably never need to get rid of solar because the price of BTC crashes, so it's a much, much, much safer investment. I don't think people really understand how risky crypto mining is. Mining with AMD hardware was literally destroyed for the average joe by a couple developers that got greedy. Like an entire generation of miners were wiped off the map due to a couple private kernels.
But at some point you should stop blaming us and blame yourself (you and the other miners):
* For wanting faster miner than anyone else (yeah it's human, but nobody force anyone to buy faster miners... so if there is a demand, price increase... that's business, I thought you would at least understand that, since you are in altcoin which is mostly about buying and selling stuff
* For not being able to hold their coin and dump like crazy no matter how unprofitable it is for them and any one else (dev included)
I am sorry but each time coins are being dumped, it is because of greedy miner who don't feel like holding a little more... so yes, blame yourself first.
Don't you feel like biting constantly the hand that feed you ?
In that condition, why any dev would help you making money for free
and again developing takes times it is then normal that we get something for our work and when the majority feels like not giving anything, we might turns to those who are ready to give... (again your fault and no we are not greedy, we just want a fair retribution for our work and there is nothing wrong in helping people who help us)
Blaming other is always easy with you, but at some point you should try to do some auto-critics...
You don't feed me dude. That's what the money is for. That's why I keep saying to add a dev fee. It goes the opposite direction. Or is the whole reason you guys are so afraid of a equal sharing crowd funding program because you then wouldn't be able to pretend you're somehow helping people by making private miners and distributing them to the top 3% of miners who can afford them?
Here Ill put it in bold because your eyes always seem to gloss over when I mentioned it: MINER FEE.
Do I need to commission someone to add a optional miner fee to CCminer? Literally paying someone to have you guys take my money? (Funny this almost sounds the complete opposite of what you were arguing) I can't afford to buy a 5-6 BTC miner as I'm a small miner especially after my initial investment with AMD was lost due to the aforementioned bullshit that was traded under the tables, but if you use a fee, we all chip in and make it work. It's proportional and you'll make a hell of a lot more then trading to a handful of people that make more money then you'll ever see.
Here lets add a bit more, has anyone asked Claymore how well he did with his Cryptonote miner? A shining example of how well this works.
You don't even advertise your private miners or their cost. I've purchased every private miner I've heard of that was lucrative so far and I could afford. You wont even give me a offer because you don't like me. Just shows how corrupt and fucked up your logic is.
