This is really awesome.

I wholeheartedly agree with your "no merge" statement. If we're going to have a concensus network with multiple clients, a free range of used code would be best rather than everything being inherent of something else. So, for example, let's use the same general idea, but I really like how each project will take on a level of ambiguity of its own.

As for the direction of code, "In Funk We Trust" really comes to my mind. I think I can give a really sucessful example for a coin I've been involved a little bit in for a while. When Clams started out nearly a year ago, it was simply a fork of Blackcoin, which had its inherent forks (Peercoin, and so on). Now, however, it's taken on multiple characteristics of its own, and doesn't follow any code line of any other coin. The most important thing is when to know (key word, when) you should add a commit, and when not to. For example, it has some BIPS implemented, and some not implemented. It has the bitcoin autotools build system, which most coins don't have but has become a huge asset. I could go on and on here, but just one of these things can make a huge difference in the overall prospect of our user base, while another could make them neutral or turn them away. The important thing is leaving out the "extra", or feature creep that will turn users off. Again, it depends on the time. This is what makes coins truely great. From my experience, it's important to simply make the best decision on behalf on the coin at its current state (however impossible that may be) and not try to dilute it into just "being like these other coins". This is where your personal preference comes in, and you need to nitpick the code. There really isn't any other way. This is what will make Woodcoin, Woodcoin.

I almost think any indirect question regarding how to aim the project properly is almost a fallacy, but I see where you're trying to go with getting a general concensus of code direction. These new projects (in my opinion) should broaden our base for incoming developers, so that's the best thing really to do. I think in the case of Woodcoin, you really are the best judge. In fact, that's really the best thing you can do. In my opinion, this is what separates your style and other coin devs that would simply add feature creep. You're a thinker before a doer.

I hope that made a little bit of sense.  

TLDR: In Funk We Trust!

nice prices for LOG
this is skyrocketing without explanation

This is what I say when my wife tries to get me to sell off any of my Woodcoin horde:

Okay, so the clearing is back. http://woodcutting.club

The issue before was that there was a deluge of spam that ate up the bandwidth on my old host. I have more bandwidth on this one. Hoping this board will fight spam better, as well.

Going to be doing a few different things with this version, too. I want to make it more of a club. Envisioning a scratch-off faucet, for-sale scratchers, maybe a dice game, and other things I haven't thought of yet.

First 100 accounts are eligible for a 50 LOG stipend. Just make a few posts, show you are legit, and PM me your Woodcoin address over there.

Anyone with ideas on what we should do with the club, let me know.

Hey!  Hey!  Put the hatchets down a second, lets chat.  

So, I had been working on "woodcoin-b", which was just another woodcoin wallet / full node, but built on a fork of the current bitcoind / bitcoin-qt  version as pushed by "the power rangers", a.k.a. what you get at github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git.  

The idea was, why not have another client?  It can't hurt and could strengthen the network.  Currently, the reference client for woodcoin is, at least is afaik what most you folks run, a fork of litecoin with the woodcoin algos and genesis block dropped in, as advertised at github.com/funkshelper/woodcoin.git.  Woodcoind and woodcoin-qt : solid, reliable, and fast wallets.    



So then last week, the litecoin team (that is, the folks who update github.com/litecoinproject/litecoin.git), comes out and "moves to the 0.10 branch".  I'm not going to get into what that means for litecoin, but basically it means I have to make some decisions on which codebases to maintain here.  Simply saying "git merge" won't work here. 


I'm not going to pretend that any of this controls the coin.  Github could drop off the face of the  earth, and me as well (and by the way, we both will), and woodcoin won't really care.  However, I am going to do what I can to help the codesbases that I see as important while I can.  In this regard, I am going to maintain our current reference client as is (forked from litecoin 0. as long as possible.  A source tarball, with checksum and signature, sits at woodcoin.org/woodcoin.tgz at the moment (see download page for details).  I encourage you to grab a copy just in case.  

I'm also going to try to continue with a full whatever-we-find-at-bitcoin-github client, to be merged with any changes to that project.  

-And- I am going to make a 0.5.3 woodcoin reference ciient (no gui), to be merged with any changes to that project (see thebitcoin.foundation for more info on that project).  

However I don't at the moment see any need to try to duplicate the direction github/litecoinproject is going, that is we don't need to merge changes into our reference client in that way, not if the above two project are being maintained.  Of course if you want to do that, you are welcome to it.    

Please let me know if you have any concerns over the state any of this software is in, or have better ideas.  Other related projects on the table for bounty:

OK, thanks for listening.  This has been a forest-wide public service announcement brought to you by:

week is over, over.

Your use of LOG here is very enterprising. 

Ranger that, Houston. It appears there is no wind up here. Is that supposed to be? Anyway, found some strange things. We're breaching 1000 this week, over.

Bitillionaire, this is Houston, come in.  Sending +1, acknowledge please  

because of not up to date block explorer
the current real market cap for 580 satoshi is 42.6687348 ~ $9750, 7356678.41530885 LOG exist

I emailed the blockexperts guys last week to notify them of the issue:


*cheer*! 

Yeah, I found pool mining cut my yield by around a third.

(Note - Contrary to popular belief, this does not cause blindness, or hairy palms.)

where is everyone mining? It's really hard and not that profitable for me just mining in suprnova by myself

Maybe if these retards would stop coming in and dumping for literally like 10,000 satoshi profit. Seriously?

It's clear we have buy pressure, people are buying the sell orders on up the line, but then Joe Snuffy can't wait a day to make his 20 cents worth of Woodcoin, oh, his mining operation must be so intense. Come on now.

You will make more if you are patient. You want to sell it faster, sell it for a bit less than the standing orders. But dumping at whatever price is on the buy margin does no real good, and also will systematically fuck our volume until we fall right off the exchange.

Just saying.

Example:



I just don't see how these profits can be worth it to fuck over the whole coin. Fucking idiots.

Soon! (tm)
