“Get a Fist Full of Woolong”
Here we are, it’s been two years since we started this "trip" and we now come to the new iteration of the Woolong galactic currency. We are proud to offer your new token and hope that you can enjoy its presence as it was intended.
Most notably Woolong symbol has changed from WOO (taken by WooTrade) to WLNG and is now a Binance Smart Contract BEP-20 token and not mineable. There are several advantages in changing platforms, and the prospect of a never-ending battle with corporate miners has left a bitter taste in our mouths when it comes to mineable coins, (obviously, those without serious anti-ASIC incorporated into the algorithm.)
Another surprising fact, Woolong is not just referenced in the Cowboy Bebop animated series. Here is a rundown of Woolongs in anime.
• Cowboy Bebop
• Space Dandy
• Carol & Tuesday
Cowboy Bebop
In 1998, Japanese animation studio Sunrise launched a new animated science-fiction television series called Cowboy Bebop. Directed by Shinichirō Watanabe and written by Keiko Nobumoto, Cowboy Bebop first premiered to Western audiences in 2001, capturing the attention of millions of fans around the world. Cowboy Bebop’s eclectic blend of neo-noir cyberpunk aesthetic, incandescent jazz, and deeply nuanced storytelling rapidly enshrined the series as a legendary cult classic. As a genre-breaking science fiction series, Cowboy Bebop presents viewers with a vast range of futuristic concepts, focusing on a lawless, socially-stratified solar system in which governments offer bounty contracts to prevent crime. These contracts, and everything else in the Cowboy Bebop Universe, are paid in “Woolong” — one of the earliest depictions of digital currency in pop culture.
Space Dandy
Although Cowboy Bebop and Space Dandy are very different in tone and setting, there is abundant evidence that Space Dandy takes place in the same universe as Cowboy Bebop, although likely at a much later point in time. Both series use the Woolong as their currency.
Carole & Tuesday
Carole & Tuesday is pretty different from the Cowboy Bebop and Space Dandy series. For one thing, it's barely science fiction. It takes place on Mars, and AI is commonplace, but the story itself could take place in almost any time period and location. Instead of being about a small crew of eccentric heroes traveling through space and struggling to make a living, it's about two young girls attempting to hit it big as musicians. Despite this change in basic plot structure, there is abundant evidence that Carole & Tuesday also take place in Cowboy Bebop's universe. Woolongs are also the currency here (although their value seems to be different)
We will offer more information as it becomes relevant. You can trade our Woolong (WLNG) token on DappRadar (

We would like to hear from anyone that has a question, comment, or concerns.
Cheers,
David Webb
See You Space Cowboy
I am told it should be working by September ah... 2019
Hey everyone.
There is not enough time in the day for us to get back to everyone in short order. However. we have two issues that we would like to share.
1. The Exchanges that have decided to participate in the WOO experience should be trading WOO by the end of August.
2. In an effort to combat the assault of ASIC miners that have taken over the mining pools that are mining Woolongs, We will be initiating a Hard Fork at block 50000, to a more ASIC resistance algorithm. Woolongs were created for the enjoyment of all an certainly not for the simple few. We would like to apologize to everyone who has tried mining and have had no luck. We will find a way to compensate you in the near future.
Carry on Space Cowboy’s
Spike
