Blockchains are LOG structured databases. 

The woodcoin money supply grows LOGarithmically. 

The Merkle Hash TREE is used to verify the block chain integrity.

Woodcoin is an open source project providing a fair, long-lived self supporting block chain for store of value and transfer of value transactions, with triple entry accounting functionality.

Have you ever wondered what will happen when the "halving" coins, or geometric series emission coins like BTC, LTC, BCH, XMR and others, reach a very low coinbase reward?  Without a substantial coinbase reward it becomes harder to support miners to provide the necessary security.  Fees will need to go up, and so users will flee to cheaper coins.    

One solution to this problem is to replace the geometric series emission schedule with a harmonic series emission schedule.  This produces a logarithmically growing money supply which while still capped (at ~28 million) maintains substantial reserve in coinbase, with which to pay out to miners far (and we mean far) into the future.    

It also features improved cryptography both in proof of work function and in digital signature keypairs.

With two minute blocks, LOG is a long-term public ledger for you to do with as you please.

FIRSTS

1) First pure skein coin.

Are you going to argue with Bruce Schneier?  I didn't think so.  The NSA didn't choose this hash for SHA3, so unless it's a double fakeout you should be safe.  Skein is a great hash function and runs really fast on a CPU.  ASICs will grow on trees.  Double skein is the woodcutting algo, consisting of two skein512 hashes of the block header and nothing else.  

2) First Logarithmic release coin.
Many coins follow a hard reward reduction curve: a geometric series.  Instead we use a harmonic series as it is gentler to the ear and actually works long term without infinite inflation or death by fees.  The result is a logarithmically increasing supply of logs.  

supply = 1000000* ( log(nHeight) + gamma )   -  forest

   where gamma = euler-mascheroni constant
              forest  =  5187377.51763962

This is a long term release plan.  
Money supply limit: 27625814.3 LOG  
However these coins will not all be released until after the Julian calendar year 300 million.
Half the coins will be released in roughly the year 2305.  
For more information on how a logarithmic release schedule works please see the whitepaper.  

The supply is entirely specified by this code:  

Code:
CAmount GetBlockSubsidy(int nHeight, const Consensus::Params& consensusParams)
{
    int64_t nSubsidy = 1000000 * COIN;
    if (nHeight<100) return 1*COIN;
    else return nSubsidy/nHeight;
}

If you are using a coin without looking at the code that governs the release schedule, one might ask - why bother with public coin at all?  This is the monetary policy and it is verifiably capped (non-inflationary) and long lived (substantial block reward incentivising miners without high fee for a long time).  


3) First prime256v1 ECDSA curve coin.

Well, we don't have any demonstrable break for secp256k1 (as used by bitcoin, litecoin, and many others), but a few bits of extra cryptographic security is a good thing.  This is the ANSI X9 standard curve published for financial institutions, with the most usage time under its belt, and we use it for digitally signing your logs and creating your woodcoin addresses.  Many people call it more secure than secp256k1, for a review take a look http://woodcoin.info/2016/05/12/secp256k1-vs-p256/ here.

FOREST

The steepest part of the logarithmic curve is the very start.  The rewards of the first 100 blocks were therefore set to zero to avoid these high rewards.  These blocks would have yielded more than five million LOG, so these form an old growth forest that will never be chopped.  The ents are safe here.  The money supply formula above therefore needs to have this forest subtracted.  The trees are our friends and guardians, treat them with respect!  The trees of the world will be more honored and respected as we move into a post-fiat world.  This coin is made with respect for the trees as our family.  In addtition to the first hundred blocks, other donations to the forest have been accepted at this address:

WeHonorTheForestsAndTheTrees4pPXTQ

These LOG are effectively removed from the money supply.
