Ah, finally, someone who knows what the conductivity of silver oxide is.
Although I believe silver sulfide is much more common than oxide, I've
been able to find the conductivity of the sulfide but not the oxides.
Just what are the conductivities of the silver oxides (AgO and Ag2O)?
Which are we most likely to find on the outsides of wires? Are they
really more common than the sulfide?

An interesting and eventually amusing link on silover sulfide

It is interesting that the NASA paper refers to silver sulfide as
non-conductive, while the first paper gives a short and tantilizing
tidbit about forcing it into conductivity.

Hope you find the links interesting!
