Please do. Sounds interesting. 

Indeed. Updated binary will be on Woodcoin.org today.

Also: join us on IRC -- irc.freenode.net/woodcoin -- #woodcoin -- logs now published to http://woodcoin.xyz

Mac wallet is also on the way 

Patched.

Fixing the whole private key being cut off at the right edge thing now...

Hey, check out these paper wallets the QT client makes now! 

Mate, did you want to compile a binary of 1.2 for Windows? Let me know if so... [email protected]

strange... i noticed it too
syncing and opening wallet is faster comparing to other coins, even if so little nodes
download and validation when opening wallet is fast

UPDATES!! 

Good morning woodcutters.  There's been a flurry of activity in the clearing as a few people straighten their woodpiles and sharpen their chainsaws, pausing their work to enjoy a gesture with the forest spirit. 

Just to be clear there are no changes to the core protocol of this coin under discussion.  No forks, soft or hard, no news about Skein being broken or prime256v1 being an NSA termite trap or network ddos vulnerabilities.  So if you aren't feeling the need for a break you can just go right back to your chopping and stacking.   

What has changed is as follows.  Bitillionaire has brought in some nice paper wallet production functionality into the QT wallet.  Using paper wallets previously would have required you to go to logaddress.org/index.html and deal with some rather broken images there.  In practice I used that site to generate and manipulate woodcoin addresses, bringing the keys into other software for printing or encrypting.  Now, you can make paper wallets from the comfort of your own woodshed.  A nod of the head goes out to the dogecoin team for being the first that I know of to implement this.     

There's also been the addition of a new "Woodcoin.org" information page, also thanks to Bitillionaire, no longer based on Wordpress.  Construction there is ongoing, while the old site is still up temporarily at archive.woodcoin.org.  Work continues on making the QT wallet nicer to use, and in formalizing the reference implementation of woodcoin to be even better prepared to fight off the goblins of nondeterminism.  There should be some nice festivities in the works as we near the first-full-revolution-of-Earth-about-Sol mark in our history. 

There's also a new pool in the works courtesy of l8nite-miner.  Get your chain-hatchets and VPSs ready.     

Global hash rate is down a bit recently, so chopping should be more profitable.  Small quantities of LOG can also be obtained on C-Cex for a lower price than it has been in at least a few months, at about 1/2 of the all time high price.  Last trade was at 520 sat per.

Hey guys,

So, version 1.2 of the wallet is underway. It's actually working now, if you pull the source and do instead of just , you'll see the changes. What are the changes? You can now print a paper wallet from directly within your desktop wallet. (It's in the File menu).

The thing is, I'm not too good at making images, really, so I'll gladly accept pull requests for additional paper wallet background images. They'll have to somewhat follow the format of this file: https://github.com/funkshelper/woodcoin/blob/master-0.8/src/qt/res/images/paper/paper-wallet1v2.xcf

You'll need Gimp, a FOSS image program, to edit it.

This would be a great contribution to the Woodcoin project. Version 1.3 will have expanded QR code functionality and the ability to choose between backgrounds of paper wallets.

Thanks.

Hi, glad to hear it's working for you and welcome new chopper!    Yeah the block chain is tiny at the moment, daily TX rate has been very small. 

That being said, you raise an interesting question.  Typically with bitcoin proper the block chain download is time-limited by CPU verification of all the ECDSA signatures.  That's why it's so much slower than just a download.  I don't know offhand if Woodcoin's elliptic curve (prime256v1) will give any different performance for this task.  I expect it to the be exactly the same (the only difference is the constants, not their length nor the operations)  but it's worth running some tests to see.  I'll get back to y'all on that  

I just started throwing some hash toward this coin and I must say that the blockchain downloaded in roughly 15 minutes. Completely amazing. Im getting a decent speed and its moving right along while solo.

By the way everyone: if you'd like some web hosting, I'll sell it to you for LOGs.  1750 LOG per month will get you 1gb of storage and 5gb of transfer. Just write to [email protected] if interested. You must have a domain unless you want a subdomain on something I have, but luckily domains are very cheap. You can buy one using Bitcoin at namecheap.com.

I guess this makes me the first "merchant" to actively support Woodcoin, eh? Well, there's other things to come.

Woodcoin now has a mailing list, mostly for development talk. Please keep discussion to Woodcoin-related stuff. This is more for posterity than anything.

New node in the sky, presently syncing with the rest of the chain:

    addnode = 159.203.76.85: 8338

Thanks bittamak   I'm glad to see an exchange doing well too!  Will we get a spot?

"Long time" is relative.  Woodcoin is 0.0000004% through it's release schedule at present.  But yeah, the altcoin world hasn't exactly been known for its longevity. 

Good to see coin is doing well for a long time....I am in.

Starting a Woodcoin-themed RPG game. See here for more info.

I'll rent you one for $11 a month.

Or you can rent one from DigitalOcean yourself for $5 a month.

This reminds me: I should write a guide on doing so.
