Thanks for reporting back m4nki!

What platform is this?  I have only tested on an emulated nexus thingy and a samsung 4G-LTE thingy.   

Did you try:
Settings / Applications / allow Unknown sources ? 


"Give me control over a coin's checkpoints and I care not who mines its blocks."

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

could anyone explain why almost all mined blocks come as orphan on any pool i try?

it has been like that for more than one month now.

i wonder if anyone was able to mine any logs at all?

Thanks for reporting.

The trouble is that woodcutters are withholding blocks.  There are a couple of large miners engaged in a war of attrition to get ahold of all the new LOG.  The difficulty has been going up and down by a factor of four and periodically a large reorg comes through.   

Unfortunately there is little we can do except wait and add more hashpower to bolster the nominally operating network. 

On the plus side, all transactions are going through and there's been no evidence of doublespend or DDOS.

are you aware there are new powerful chainsaws ? :p Pascal and Polaris

It look like i got the last mined coins, but they are all hidden/rewritten in the blockchain history

see tx 2db2592292083bb58f14fa1efe8d91f96aa580da8f3a1463288124da73b96087

the input txs are no more

btw i just finished a sgminer which supports skein2...

I'm not sure what's happening or how could it be fixed but this coin is getting slowly killed by these massive reorgs.

Epsylon3, nice work on sgminer Smiley  looking forward to see.  It looks like that transaction you mention is now very well established in the chain?  What should we see there? 

Bathrobehero, they are indeed frightening to behold.  However I am seeing signs that the network is stabilizing.  Those who can weather the storm will have clear skies as a reward.

On other fronts, we have a working android wallet! 

OK, so it needs a lot of work cosmetically, which is in progress, but the basic receiving and sending with an android device has been tested! 

see current progress and download it here:

AWESOME! well done Funk! great to hear development is still going string on woodcoin  Smiley Just got a new I5 so I'll be throwing a little hash at the network Smiley

Yes, thank you Megacrypton!  Looking forward to some trading.

And it looks like there's another exchange listing woodcoin now too

Baruk Khazad!  

Woodcutters, lend me your chainsaws!  
I come to not to bury the hatchet, but to raise it.  

Intro:  

After a brief respite from the continual hash withdrawl attacks we have seen on the network since November, we are back to the same pattern.  

A relatively large GPU farm moves in every time the difficulty drops, and moves out once it goes up.  

The activity is clearly not profitable for the attacker, but that is neither here nor there - we have to deal with it.  

Effectively the network becomes several times slower to confirm transactions, and more sporadic.  Otherwise, business as usual.  

Announcement: 

Being a public coin, how you deal with this is of course up to you.  I plan to take advantage of the ongoing attack by leveraging it as a stress test.  

So, expect a bunch of spam TX in the upcoming week.  There will also be more fees collected by woodcutters.  So, now would be a good time to turn
those spare GPUs or other skein cycles onto the network.  

Lets see what we can do.    

Enjoy!

I'm not sure if this is something you thought about but having a secondary mining algorithm that can keep the blocks going when the main chain is stuck in a high difficulty retarget works.

Ever since Scrypt ASICs arrived a bunch of Scrypt-only coins are suffering from the same issue; ASIC miner starts mining with enormous hashrate which causes the diff to get kicked to the moon and once the big hasher leaves for greener pastures the blockchain grinds to a halt until some small miners eventually get lucky to find blocks and slowly reverse the retarget mechanism.

So in essence, a single difficulty retarget always relies on - one way or another - the single blockshain's block finding frequency which can be "attacked". The reason for that because difficulty retarget mechanisms can only ever change the difficulty once a block has been found. But if the diff is super high, it will stay that high until the next blocks. And for difficulty retargeting methods that never kick the difficulty "too high" only means the ASIC miner will mine way more blocks than it was intended.

Having multiple algorithms (PoW or PoS) eliminate that.

I'm not sure about block withholding attacks but I'd imagine having multiple algorithms would also cripple their efficiency if not eliminate them.

Not your keys, not your coins!

It's true, this would help stabilize the block rate.  Not even a need to go to proof of stake, one could do something like what myriad does, with multiple non-chained proof of work algos.  This would minimize the effects that one rogue miner with access to top tech or hardware could do.   If anyone is interested, we could consider this.  However I'm not sure it is necessary.  I don't mind waiting out the current era; pure single-algo proof of work and no-hard-fork-ever is attractive in its simplicity even if it can lead to volatile block times.

Is it possible to realistically solo mine? If so, can you do it through the wallet? Or do you need a separate client?

Thanks
