Thanks DougB62,
Does your @4.2 refer to a clock speed?
I have a ThinkPad running QubesOS with:
i5-520M and I can get "hashespersec" > 1500000
However, my laptop overheats and shuts down if I keep it chopping for more than about 15 minutes.
I will look into a better windows build.

lol well I should of added
1. going from recollections
2. I use linux so what the hell do i know?
I have:
A10-5800K ~4000K
FX-8350 ~8000K
Both linux with the standalone miner

Yeah well why is it us Linux users always have to compile our own fucking software and windows bitches only complain about not having everything done for them?
It's better to compile our own anyway. Runs cleaner, don't have to deal with dumbass ads and bullshit.
But seriously, why doesn't this asshole try the fucking Windows builds that exist?
the in client miner gets something like a 10th of the hashrate as the linux client. Not sure if its a flag issue when it was cooked or what
Seriously? I tested the windows clients and saw a much smaller reduction of hashrate.. at the time I attributed it to the fact that it was running in a VM. Can some windows choppers please report on their hashrate and cpu type? Thanks

This coin will be more good in the future.

I came across an interesting article on elliptic curve digital signatures.
http://infosecurity.ch/20100926/not-every-elliptic-curve-is-the-same-trough-on-ecc-security/
He comes to a remarkable conclusion:
In general, I am not a huge fan of his analysis method which is simply appeal to authority rather than actual discussion of the curves. However there may be something to it. It is worth pointing out that woodcoin is the only coin I know of which follows his recommendations.
The only other coins I know of which do not use Koblitz curves (in particular secp256k1) are the ones built with CryptoNote. CryptoNote usees EdDSA which may have some advantages but according to the criteria of the linked article still fails to have been recommended by the various authorities.

I would like to state that Koblitz curves should be avoided, in any key size as they do not have enough warranty on crypto analytic activity and effectively they are:
Not part of NSA Suite-B cryptography selection
Not part of ECC Brainpool selection
Not part of ANSI X9.62 selection
Not part of OpenPGP ECC extension selection
Not part of Kerberos extension for ECC curve selection

There is no working gpu miner for this coin.
For the record, I never hoped we would have such a nice CPU coin here. Pure skein is proving a great choice.
No argument here sir! I think thats a great side effect.

i almost burned my laptop
no more logs for me...

Can I mine this with gpu's and if so how?
Thanks

For those of you interested in the Skein hash function and in particular it's use as a proof of work algorithm, a few other coins should be mentioned in this thread.
Skeincoin is now a bit over a year old and has recently moved to an AuxPOW algorithm with Myriad-skein. The community has been very supportive of my questions and they have done great work building infrastructure. These coins both use SHA-256 in conjunction with Skein for their proof of work algorithm, as opposed to woodcoin which uses pure Skein. So, the algorithm is not identical but for those of you interested in improving efficiency of woodcutting or building standalone choppers (GPU or FPGA or ASIC) some of the work by the Skeincoin team will definitely be relevant. Skeincoin was cloned by the implementers of Nigeriacoin. Many other coins use Skein in conjunction with other hash functions, such as Quark (and its clones) and various X11 and X13 coins.
Woodcoin is still the only coin I know of that uses pure Skein for proof of work, please let us know if you know of any others.

I had to stop my nice woodchopping since I have a laptop that works like an ooold chainsaw.
I got my 550 Logs.
Happy anyway

Thanks for reporting acquafredda, glad you enjoyed some chopping!
It does indeed overheat the old laptops a bit to chop full speed. Enjoy your LOGs, and all public coins.
