'solo' means in my opinion that you are using one account, I know some people which say "let's 1vs1", then bring their alt and claim that it is still 1vs1 because it's 1 human vs 1 human.
However, you did some nice work there.
One hint, just set your drones to assist the harbinger and you do not have to care about them, just launch + press assist and your hostiles will scream.
The proteus... well it was a failfit, my proteus survived far longer than it with 5 drakes + 1 myrm shooting it :-/ (no the drakes were not fail they had 2 BCUs)
However it was *slightly* more expensive then the one you killed 
Keep cleaning EvE from the fail Proteus pilots, that ship deserves better pilots then that one!

I dunno about how they intended it, but I can say this:
Before I started dualboxing with my power of 2 alt in her cov ops, I felt completely blind.
Jumping a gate in lowsec/nullsec was like russian roulette.
Whatever fight I'm entering I get so much intel from having a cloaker already in grid, I don't even se why anyone would jeperdise themself flying blindly.
Aren't all these things meant to be part of the -fun-? Low/nullsec 'solo' is meant to be risky, after all. Ad hominem extension of "why would anyone risk..." leads "why would anyone risk themselves doing anything in EVE?"

Well, he risks something !
If he ever encouters my usual friends and I, he'll die horribly due to permajammed Harbinger and Dominix 
Anyway, what he's doing is not -that- easy, and he seems to play quite well despise some mistakes (the draaaaake !!)
But I'll never consider this solo, though I would if it was only a covops alt.

EDIT: Just checked some of your lossmails for your RR alt...he seems to be double injecting everything...isnt that a bit of a problem, having to constantly swap back and forth to inject...and do you find you run out of cap charges during extended bouts of pvp?
I am intrigued by this...I have 3 accounts which might be somewhat suitable for this sort of thing. Up til now I have noticed a couple things in pvp.
1. I generally pwn my opponents when in a gang/fleet.
2. When soloing, I pwn random ppl solo, but more often than not, said solo ppl have friends who come and end up ganking me.
3. When soloing I often become so bored of avoiding obvious ganks I do stupid things....like engaging first under gate guns in losec just to gank the most expensive thing I see before I die.
I've never really thought much of using multiple accounts in pvp...the main question I have is what do you do if they start shooting the remote rep domi/ship....domi cant maintain remote reps and active/fit decent buffer tank at the same time without extensive rigging, which further reduces insurance payback. How do you solve this problem? Or is a set of HG Slaves required + 5% cap implants for everyone? :P

I don't have an issue with you dual boxing. Its like two pilots at the keyboards only you'll have worse reaction times, with the same amount of loot for grabs. Fine by me.
I gotta say though those pirates are pretty incredibly bad. Like...incredibly bad.

It's an issue. But running 4-6 large RRs burns through a BS cap in under a minute. Dual injectors are a necessity. The cap management angle adds to the excitement. I've only run out of cap charges once, but the fight was over by then. You get about 5 minutes under real combat conditions.

You might have noticed that my alt has been dying in Hyperions recently. Hyperons can fit a similar passive tank and have two local LAR. Buys more time if they primary the BS, which sometimes happens with the Domi. On the other hand, a Hyperion is a scary primary. Face it, if you are an FC and see a Harbinger or a Tier 3 Hyperion, what are you going to primary?
The Hyperion also has the benifit of being able to fit 6 remote transfers, scan probe launcher AND an energy transfer to coutner cap warfare against the Harbinger. I toss on a local ECCM, and support the Harbinger with a tracking link and remote ECCM. It's a very solid setup.
The only thing you have to worry about is getting overconfident. 
Oh, did I mention that if you get your Hyperions from Jita on buy order, you make 5M isk after insurance on the hull? The Hyperion setup is cheaper than the Domi setup. Ha!

There's no point in arguing the 'solo' moniker, because he doesn't use it. I'd say it's invalid anyways, because he uses the two accounts to engage multiple targets.
When you use two accounts to attack 4-8 or more targets, then 'solo' seems a lot more appropriate, but it's all just semantics and WTF cares about it.
If there is a criticism to make, it's that you're becoming predictable Swatyy. All us Minnies know exactly what you're doing, how you fight, how you fit, and where we can find you (or how we can get you to find us). If you want to continue being so open with your tactics, sure fine, but it's going to start becoming an uphill battle.

Pretty cool video and nice job on the proteus kill.
But I wasn't all that impressed with the other two fights. They were groups of T1 BCs, cruisers, and frigs and you had a RR domi and a harby. Maybe show fights involving a group with some HACs, Recons, or BS of their own. They were brave just to engage you, plus that one fight was interrupted by a group of pirates who wisely didn't engage you because they knew they didn't have the DPS. They only showed up to mop up some of your kills.

One single neuting Dommi and you are done.. In fact I bet a "true" soloer in a Neuting Dommi, would kill both your ships and ask for seconds TBH.

The way I see it, swatyy was bad enough when he was solo-boxing. Even when you did blob him he'd more than likely kill more of your ISK than he himself lost (not even considering insurance). After a couple of fights with him I just stay the **** away.
Now he's got a neutral RR Domi. Yeah, **** that. As much as I hate the use of neutral RR, I have to admit the fact that swatyy is using it doesn't bother me at all, probably because I know he's an epic PVPer without it and I know that his use of it has something to do with his grand evil plans. Unlike another Amarrian I know, who does it solely because he's a complete douchebag who can't undock in his own highsec without neutral RR there to protect him.
You know who I'm talking about.
