[ANN] Woodcoin [LOG] Pure Skein POW, Logarithmic Release, No Premine nor ICO

[tryphe]

If you are on a hard fork, getting constant rejects, or getting "-1 out of 6 confirmed": edit your shortcut Target: ".../woodcoin-qt.exe -reindex -rescan" (emphasis on single dashes "-") and delete peers.dat. Make sure you delete peers.dat otherwise you will go onto the same fork. I had to do this a few times, and it did resolve the issue both times. Chopped about 5 blocks since this afternoon and everything seems fine:

Code:

02:22:29

getblockhash 3933

Thanks for posting this tryphe. 

Another thing you can always do is delete everything in your .woodcoin folder except wallet.dat and woodcoin.conf.  Our chain is still quite small so it will only take a couple minutes to pull the whole thing and you will be synched and up to date. 

Code:

./woodcoind getblockhash 4170
9f80871caf73e1d34b1a362c4419704a09c29b29c283c2ad2a847ed4479c374c

Solo chopping is still the recommended way to woodcut:

Code:

./woodcoind getmininginfo
{
    "blocks" : 4181,
    "currentblocksize" : 1000,
    "currentblocktx" : 0,
    "difficulty" : 3.14911490,
    "errors" : "",
    "generate" : true,
    "genproclimit" : -1,
    "hashespersec" : 550269,
    "networkhashps" : 115945891,
    "pooledtx" : 0,
    "testnet" : false
}

so this forum is the official block explorer ?

What do you guys think   ?

Wow indeed.  That's crazy hash.  Paul Bunyan over here.  How do you you chop wood so fast?

the new IBM POWER8 processor beast with 48GB RAM & 176 Threads!!  im runing 4 of them (Total 704 threads) giving me a total of ~138955852 hashespersec  , shit i wish i started early  , any block explorer ? roadmap ?

No way!  Awesome.  Please don't 51% us brother.  You must be getting like half the blocks with that beast.   

I'm working on a modified version of ABE for block explorer now, but if anybody else gets one out first there's a bounty. 

Also working on modified logaddress.org, and a modified vanity gen.  Longer term project announcements to follow after these basics are straightened out. 

I'm not sure if anybody is working on the GPU miner, the wood.suprnova.cc pool is still down.

Great news, dont worry im not 51%, im using 4 wallets setgenerate true not RPC miner as it makes the hash much slower so i think network is safe, i mined 500+ blocks within 5-6 hrs 

[WigitGetIt]

I sent Multifaucet a PM here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=188159

This is there site, they have just made some upgrades.  Send them a PM to show interest and they will help you out.  Good people.

I hate to ask this...
but I'm not at all well...
I live up north...
It's getting cold...
I've got an abysmal amount of everything to do...
I'm trying to get caught up on 20 years...
of compiler development...
last I did assembly...
was line-drawing routines...
on my 386-33...
in Borland C...
(that's C, not C+, or C++)
for those fancy new 256 color videocards...
because there were no .h libraries for them yet.

Could someone be so kind as to compile that Skeinminer stand-alone for me?

In return I'll tell you how to crack Wolfenstein.

That's the Apple ][+ version of Wolfenstein.

Good God I'm old.

Yep, any day now!

Yeah... I can't do it for you either, but I did want to ask about your 386-33 - DX or SX? I actually started with a Tandy TRS-80 with an 8bit processor, and 16k RAM... I may be older. Great.

Ha ha Wolfenstein.

I still haven't made it through the last level of Heretic.

No block explorer?

What's the number of coins mined to date?

Block reward?

Thanks

Ha ha Wolfenstein.

I still haven't made it through the last level of Heretic. 

Heretic?  Never heard of it.  Looked it up though and OH MY BRAIN!  Nightmare!  Weird stuff extruded into some strange extra dimension that looked like it might come out of the screen, if that were at all possible.  No, the Wolfenstein I'm talking about is this one...



Wanna learn to write tight code?  Learn assembly on a 64k 6502 with no mult or div instruction.  But Bill (you know which one) managed to write the first vector-based 3D flight simulator on one and I wrote a track-sector editor/disassembler in under 2K.  Used it to crack Wolfenstein thusly...

See that staircase at the top of the screen there (yes, it's a staircase)?  If you flipped the drive door open when you went up it, let it recalibrate the drive twice, and then flipped the door back down, the program would crash straight to command prompt.  From there it was pretty simple to check the memory and find out that they'd formatted the disk in 13 rather than 16 sectors and moved the catalog track from $11 to $09.

It won't take that long to get back up to some sort of speed (probably a slow shuffle) and winter is on the way, but man, Visual Studio looks like a 747 cockpit and my brain hurts.  Basically I'm starting from scratch, but with knowledge-base and experience.

Yeah... I can't do it for you either, but I did want to ask about your 386-33 - DX or SX? I actually started with a Tandy TRS-80 with an 8bit processor, and 16k RAM... I may be older. Great. 

Ah shit, looks like we're headed for an old-fashioned geezer-off!    The trash-80 was a great machine!  Had the first real dos, later cp/m and still later Dos-dos, same thing different werds, we didn't have to learn a thing when we stepped into XT-land.  16k is a bit crowded though, once you've put some basic rom in there there's not much room to turn around.  We had 16k Commodore Pets in the senior high where I kinda went sometimes.  Bit better than the punch-card machine upstairs that fed stuff to this mainframe downtown.  Learned Fortran on that!  But then we got the Apples... JOY!!!  Yep, the four years I spent in grade 10 and a bit of 11 were not too bad I must say.

As for the 386-33, more than DX, I had a 387 co-pro on that sucker!  It was supposed to be for Autocad, and it was, but it also made Fractint run really really really fast and made DKB-Raytrace actually useable.  The 386 was so so... needed!!!  If you ever want to cultivate migrane headaches, try doing M.L. with the pseudo-16 bit addressing modes of the earlier x86's.  Raytracing on a 386... I'd like to re-learn how to program POV-ray with all it's nice new goodies, run it on a real machine.

Speaking of real machines... Power8 processor... 65CM die size says... much!  And did I read something about them packing FPGA's into that thing?  Only read about that, some indeterminate time ago but wow, what else could have it "50-1000x as fast for certain operations"?  I love living in the world of the future.  Now upload me damnit, before I rot!

Here in the misty mountains we are more likely to ask somebody to decompile something before we will touch it.  We take infosec rather seriously after the great wars as ancient long forgetten elven spells still hammer our outward facing tunnels and still worse may lie in the depths of our kernels.  It is remarkable for us to see such knowledgeable and courageous wizards as yourselves work on botnet nodes using backdoored programs designed to hide real operatoins.  They say even the great wizard who saved middle earth from the reign of the counterfeiters was trained in such an environment.  No, getting up to speed for you will be a cinch as you can skip a generation of orcish tech which will surely be forgotten.     

Oh and by the way,  woodcutting diffiulty is at 5.4, solo chopping is still recommended; I don't think you will get significantly more logs with the standalone miner anyway
