I always thought it would be ideal to do this to create a powerful distributed computing network that can both serve to process the transactions made with the coin and also to do something useful, like folding@home or seti@home or whatever. But apparently nope, GPU crossword puzzles that do nothing but use electricity to make heat (and, as a fraction of a fraction of the work, process a blockchain transaction) are the best they could think of.
There is not useful work being done. They may as well be crossword puzzles. Some coins do use the work to do useful things, but bitcoin does it as a way of “proving your work” to earn coin.
You dropped this \
And like, I understand the use of emojis in general, I’m no boomer, just using them in this way is so weird. Like this usage of emojis feels boomery.
Its like the difference between
My iphone died mid conversation 🫠
And
My iphone 🍎📱 died mid conversation
The latter fills me with rage, the former feels reasonable
Am I the only one who is physically repulsed by this use of emojis?
Oh yeah no I get the idea, it just distinctly reminded me of Scratch
When you want your whole system to look like a Scratch project
If you really want to dig deep about this, go to therapy. It is incredibly helpful for complex issues of self.
Same here,

Care
Bigotry
God that has raised my blood pressure. What a dickhole
Lol. Lmao even.
Since learning the reason the song was written and the meaning behind it, Gotye - Bronte makes me sob like a baby
Hot fuzz for sure, I’m constantly quoting it
Can’t wait for some “buy the dip” dickwads to catch this falling knife
Aurora - Different Kind of Human
Mostly because it resonates so strongly with me, lyrically, and the song itself is so beautiful and timeless
Suuuuuch a good track. I instantly went to porcupine tree as well when I read the prompt.
Because for years it has been pitched and enforced as a field for men. Women who do it are derided or seen as other, and women who want to do it are discouraged or seen as misguided. This is shifting, but the biases will need to drop long before the actual balance will shift to equal.
Its nice to support women creators in an industry which is mostly male dominated
Yeah, so you end up with a fraction of a fraction of the work time going to actually doing the block chain transaction, and the vast majority going into the artificial difficulty
