Good news woodcutters!!
The WoodcoinCore-0.13 client is ARMED and FULLY OPERATIONAL. Syncs, receives, sends, uses Heirarchical Deterministic wallet and is fully Segwit enabled. If you check your peers you might already be connected to one. There are nice new network stats in the GUI and a few other rpc commands, including the split into:
woodcoin-qt
woodcoind
woodcoin-cli
woodcoin-tx
There are a few cosmetic changes needed (e.g. removing the litecoin splash screen lol thanks Charlie) before we make our press releases but the more adventurous of you will definitely want to check it out and take it for a spin.
https://github.com/funkshelper/woodcore.gitAs it stands right now, it won't signal segwit blocks until the spring equinox.
If you do try it - BACK UP YOUR OLD WALLET FIRST!!!!
and then BACK IT UP AGAIN!!!!
As always, your feedback here is much apprecated.
For those interested in my technical struggles with this release, they mostly revolved around getting the skein hash function to eat it's meal properly in the new autotools build environment inherited from the bitcoin-core project. I also re-wrapped the ECDSA functionality into using OpenSSL as opposed to the libsecp256k1 library. Other than that it was just drop in the woodcoin chainparams and the harmonic sequence subisdy and let her rip.
