All in all I think the reason this technology has been such a hard sell is because it's unproven and you are asking the end user to pay up for these devices.
The block chain completes the puzzle and makes it POSSIBLE to reverse the trend and actually pay the end user. Alot easier to sell something when you are paying them to buy it. Instead of charging them for it. If you wanted to install that at my business and split the savings with me you would have yourself a deal.
Speculation is high on this. I found many credible articles published in the last couple months citing block chain as a tool in decentralizing power distribution. All this without recycling wasted power. Now throw in the fact that BEI has a patented device that can create untapped power and we have in essence a network of power producing devices. However they decide to pitch it is up to them.
VTXB is moving fast in this direction. I cannot wait to see the look on surfcast post when he or she realizes that this is the next Magic Jack.
The only difference is that instead of targeting low budget customers. They would initially target Heavy weight manufacturers and high energy consumers such as block chain companies.
One more important point about the block chain being the central nervous system of the whole operation. BeI would have no problems selling electricity because the block chain would keep all transactions anonymous. And selling power into the grid is as easy as putting it there. All power is ultimately consumed so it would be bought and the computer would do it all.
