============================================
While many dwarfs were content to toil in the mines I have always felt affinity for the forest.
Now you can chop logs.
The Woodcoin chain is a log structured database.
The money supply is logarithmic.
The unit is log.
============================================
Technical Details:
-
RPC Port = 9338
-
P2P Ports = 8338 (testnet 18338)
-
In Wallet woodcutting = Console, "setgenerate true"
-
120 Second Block Target, Diff Retarget every 1 hour
-
30 Confirms for spendable-coins
-
Block reward = Harmonic Series
-
1000000/nHeight logs (after first 100 blocks which form unspendable forest of 5187377 logs)
-
Money Supply = 1000000*(log(nHeight) + gamma) gamma=Euler-Mascheroni constant
-
New ECDSA curve: X9_62_prime256v1
-
Algo = Pure Skein (double skein) Bruce Schneier is a lumberjack and NSA didn't choose this algo.
=============================================
Some binaries are stored at https://github.com/paulmadore/woodcoin-dot-org/blob/master/bins. We try to keep Woodcoin accessible to all.
============================================= Build Instructions
TYou will need these dependencies or equivalent:
sudo apt-get install git build-essential libboost-all-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libdb5.1-dev libdb5.1++-dev qt-sdk libminiupnpc-dev libqrencode-dev
Get the source with this command:
git clone https://github.com/funkshelper/woodcoin.git
To build woodcoin-qt issue “qmake” and then “make“. qt4 is required, on some systems you may need to issue “export QT_SELECT=qt4” to ensure the proper version is used.
To build woodcoind by itself navigate to /src/ and issue make -f makefile.unix.
To start woodcutting with woodcoind, simply launch it like this:
./woodcoind setgenerate true
For the graphical client, simply go into the debug window (under Help) and type:
setgenerate true
