OK, I have to ask, apart from the name, what possible relevance or connection does this coin have with Benjamin Franklin or the US Constitution?

To Franklin: None, except that OP claimed with the devs to have contacted Benjamin Franklin and he was intrigued by SHA and wanted to use electricity to help humanity.

To 1776: That's all mine, I am the one sewing this blockchain to 1776. Join me or debate me I love either.

In the mean time, here is a good slashdot article relevant to the Benjamins issue.

So the question is: given that we have such huge demand for programmers, can a level 5, 6, or 7 ever get past the hiring manager? Or is he doomed to sit on the sidelines while the position goes unfilled, or goes to someone willing to lie about their skill level, or perhaps to an H1-B who will work cheaper (but not necessarily better)? I'm a hardware engineer with embedded software experience, and have considered jumping over to pure software (since there are so many jobs, so much demand) but at age 40, and needing to pick a language and get good at it, I wonder whether it would even be possible to get a job (with my previous work experience not being directly related). Thoughts?"

The last generation of hardware engineers in America is being finished off. So, we will need to be starting from scratch, that's why I advocate mining a good blockchain in the right spirit, as being a 1776 modality.

Do you mine a cryptocoin?

I'm afraid mining is in almost no way a technical or engineering activity, it's geeky but that's about it. Especially with most small ASICs.

What makes a "good" blockchain?

I have no clue what a "1776 modality" is I am afraid.

Yes, I have mining hardware, but I don't mine "a cryptocoin".
