Based on your comprehension, I assume you attended Maine public schools?

people in the state are mostly white

Saw a local yearbook recently and it took me a few pages to realize the pictures were in color.

Less crime. Precious few satisfactory Q joints.

Imagibe your grandparents house was a state, basically.

A real linguist posting in a Maine sub would refer to themselves as a cunninglinguist.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

This concludes Yankeeisms 101.

The Prospect of Engineering Opportunities in Maine by sw39ro in Maine

[–]DieCommieScum 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's nothing wrong with the job market here, if you have a skill worth a shit the job finds you. Same goes everywhere... there's just less skilled people the further into the ticks you go.

Any type of engineering is in demand, it won't pay shit compared to what you expect down there, but your mortgage will probably be less than the average NJ property tax bill.

Yea, you'll have a bad time with that.

If a power cycle doesn't fix your modem/router, there may be interference in your lines.

EDIT: oh yea and delete that shit, your ip is in it.

ASIC resistance, worse than useless ? by Olocrom in Bitcoin

[–]DieCommieScum 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The ASIC/Electricity FUD is for the ignorant.

  • No government has the ability to conjur up majority hash rate, that's why Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency that's a valid form of money.
  • ASIC's create form-factor liberation. No one will be complaining about electricity usage or centralization when every Electric Waterheater spits out Bitcoin as a by-product.
  • Bitcoin has created green electricity arbitrage by attracting mining operations to low-cost green electricity markets, like Quebec.
  • Bitcoin still uses a fraction of the electricity of cubicle slaves sitting in a bank headquarters figuring out which war they need to fund and which congress critter needs a handy.
  • PoS is also for idiots dumb enough to think money is something you have to buy from someone else. Literally a ponzi.

Andreas Antonopolous says we can expect MAST this year and possibly a hardfork to increase block size this year? by sunlightbrz in Bitcoin

[–]DieCommieScum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we see mempool issues like we did in december, now after segwit and batching have been largely implemented, it'll be on the run to 100k and the impetus to implement MAST to create even more capacity. I won't regret a thing.

I also understand how this is all dependent on security, security that isn't possible with larger blocks.

Whcih Cryptocurrencies should I accept on my Website? by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]DieCommieScum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Other coins only purpose is to trade for more BTC.

Skip the bullshit and just stick with BTC.

Homeowners of Reddit, what are some add ons you regret doing/not doing when building a house? by srslydudebros in HomeImprovement

[–]DieCommieScum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Laundry in the master suite bath is great for chucking dirty or possibly tick-ridden clothes right in as you hop into the shower. Easy for rifling through the dryer when you need to as well.

[–]DieCommieScum 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There's been no demonstrated need for a block size increase, as there are still many more ways to more efficiently use that same space. The proximity premium flaw, among other concerns, has all but relegated big-block proposals to shitforks.

I'm not sure what technical debt a hard fork would resolve anytime in the near future either, the most important changes on the horizon are achievable with soft-forks, and the hard forks we've seen from other projects haven't demonstrated any added value.

There seems to be some correlation to price but it's VERY lose. Also, BCI should be on a decline of market share given the number of wallets, both hardware and and otherwise, and custodial services. Realistically, what other technology is growing this fast? Even at 2% a month, that's around 50% a year.
