Alright. I'll write it and post it at Woodcutting.club

Which now has SSL enabled, by the way, ya'll. Sorry it took me awhile to figure out what was wrong with the SSL there.

I've changed Woodcutting.club to instant activation but let me know if anyone has any problems getting their account to work.

Baruk Khazad Woodcutters!

There have been a couple minor updates in the github repo to clean out garbage (such as remnants of checkpoints).  Those who are building the client from source, please take a look. 

In other news, there might be some more interesting changes in the pipeline.  Those who are curious please take a look at the mailing list where some development discussion has been taking place:

I'd like to hear from anyone who is interested in pool operation, because we are considering making a HARD FORK to add a signature to the woodcutting procedure which would mean: NO MORE POOLS. 

The basic idea is that this would have to happen now before LOGs are too valuable and nobody will dream of touching a hard fork with a 10 foot cedar log roller.  Woodcoin has always been mostly a solo chopping affair, so this probably wouldn't be much of a change for you, just that - understanding the motivation requires thinking pretty far ahead.  Even further ahead than where bitcoin is right now. 

Let me know what you think during the lunch break or something, I don't want to interrupt your chopping for too long. 

the tree in this picture looks very alive, and beautiful
I hope the coin LOG will be alive too

only bots on IRC
and then i went to sleep

OK Salim, well thanks for stopping by.  Sometimes people wearing headphones, chopping LOGs, you know how it goes.  I will send you prospectus; I thought you'd be interested!

 

So I have decided to take a position in Woodcoin today.  Partly because I like dwarves and partly because I like trees.

Go "Bruenor Battlehammer!"

Welcome Maokoto

Yes you can mine through the wallet, you have to issue the command "setgenerate true" to the debug console to start woodcutting.

Even old CPUs will still get you a little bit of LOG every day at current difficulties.  

At the moment if you can get 500k hash/sec, like my old AMD E1 cpu gets, you get 1% of blocks or so.  That's about 7 blocks per day, 25 LOG or so.  

is this finally starting to moon ?

maybe try bittrex ? or other big exchange ?

Hey Pokey, we are still here, working on a few things.  A lot of talk has moved to freenode IRC: #woodcoin as well as a dev. mailing list.  IRC logs available at http://woodcoin.xyz.   

Mailing list at

Drop by sometime:  http://webchat.freenode.net

I'll try to update this thread more regularly.  There is active development on a couple different wallet projects, as well as some related projects including a community escrowed development fund. 

Some other active urls:

http://www.logaddress.org/index.html   <--  offline wallet generator, address manipulator 
https://c-cex.com/?p=log-btc   <--   exchange
http://www.multifaucet.tk/index.php?blockexplorer=LOG&charts  <--  charts stats

Woodcutters beat their previous record this week with an all time difficulty high of 44.24.  I can only assume GPU chainsaws are to blame, but one never knows.  The variance has also been high leading to some periods of very slow blocks. 

Keep choppin' and enjoy -   funkenstein_the_dwarf
