Thanks Geekxplore!  Nice article and site.  Keep up the good work.

Huge trading day last week!

Dead silence on the android wallet release. 

Any feedback appreciated!

In related news, we need a new forum.  Several people have complained to me about the direction of bitcointalk.  Perhaps worth a blog post but in the meantime we need something more accessible. 

Oh and I'll just leave this here

As much as I love Woodcoin for a very long time, the main problem I have with it is that people can't solomine it with traditional miners (method not found). And being such a small coin that it is, solomining I think should be essential.

You see, many coins sort of blindly updated their wallets to the newest Bitcoin wallet codebase which removed getwork that was required for solomining and was replaced with getworktemplate - which is STILL not supported by virtually any ccminer fork. It makes sense to remove solomining in the default Bitcoin wallet, but many many altcoins followed suit without acknowledging the consequences and without releasing a compatible miner that's capable of solomining with getworktemplate and coinbase, ignoring that decentralization should be paramount. Then again, I don't mean to be too harsh on Woodcoin, there are way bigger offenders to this idea, but still, this should be fixed in one way or another. I'm curious how AMD miners are doing with modern wallets.

The good news is that you can still use version v1.0.0.0-unk-geo and solomine as if nothing happened because the newest version (v0.13.2.0-e0c070a) is fortunately not mandatory.

Hmm I see l8nit3-miners hasn't solved a block in 9 days, but miner-control.de has 6 miners totally 11.7 GH/s, 12 blocks in the last hour.

Bathrobehero, I think you're exactly right here.  In fact I think this same issue was responsible for contention on BTC as well - and kept a lot of miners off the segwit/core codes for a while.  Getting rid of getwork was a very odd move that required a lot of work for miners. 

As you point out github.com/funkshelper/woodcoin.git still has getwork, and in fact dominates the network if you look at versions that nodes are reporting. 

Re-adding getwork to the core codebase was more difficult than I thought and I don't know of any coin that has done so.  Because the original woodcoin still has getwork I haven't put much effort into it.  If you can think of any way to address this please let us know!

Hey, I think the miner softwares should be modified to work with getworktemplate but devs doesn't seem to care. And miners also really doesn't care as almost everyone of them are unfortunately poolmining.

I, for one though only ever solomine.

This is great, well done! I would love to join in and listen to your talk but unfortunately I will not be able to make it to China this time!

The wallet does not compile with libssl 1.1, i get a pretty long error message, which starts like this:

Code:

  CXX      libbitcoin_common_a-ecwrapper.o
ecwrapper.cpp: In function ‘int {anonymous}::ECDSA_SIG_recover_key_GFp(EC_KEY*, ECDSA_SIG*, const unsigned char*, int, int, int)’:
ecwrapper.cpp:85:28: error: invalid use of incomplete type ‘ECDSA_SIG {aka struct ECDSA_SIG_st}’
     if (!BN_add(x, x, ecsig->r)) { ret=-1; goto err; }
                            ^~

It works with libssl 1.0, but that is not an option on my home PC, since it would break other things. Would be nice if devs would fix this. Sorry to post this here, but the issue section on github was removed.
