lol!  there are definitely some shenanigans afoot. 

Since november there has been a "rogue chopper" who jumps on the network with massive power only when difficulty is below a certain level, and leaves when it increases..  and recently I have seen a few large reorgs suggesting a block-withholding attack by one or another hash whale.  However I haven't seen any TXes winding up unconfirmed..  let me know the details? 

I will do my best to convince folks to chop logs in a more civil fashion. 
In the meantime, your efforts to help us secure the network (and those of other public coins) are greatly appreciated!  Stop by #woodcoin irc sometime.
