WOODCOIN UPDATE FOR BITCOINTALK Dec. 21, 2019
Happy solstice woodcutters and log stackers!
1)
The network troubles of summer 2019 seemed to work themselves out after a turbulent period in which many transactions were not getting through. It seems connectivity and some errant miners were the source of the trouble. Researchers in Maine, Shenzhen, Hefei, and the Philippines worked to track down the source of the error, and while educational in the end it was still not entirely clear who had been mining mostly empty blocks or why. Connectivity of nodes was a likely culprit as it was found that nodes in China and in Singapore don't always connect in a timely manner.

It is with a heavy heart that I have to inform you that woodcoin wallets are now being added to the "google play appstore" and "apple store". While it is sad that people resort to such insecure and outdated methods to distribute software, it was deemed appropriate as there are some people who are stuck using these dead end platforms and for whom publication of software through these compromised channels won't influence the date of their exit. Anyway, not like we can control here what kind of software people release nor how they do it.
3)
ACX.io and CREX24 have been providing excellent exchange services to LOG users and remain recommended. However FUBT exchange from Hong Kong is involved in some difficulties, of which I was not informed as to their nature. It is recommended that anyone using the FUBT exchange remove all funds as soon as possible.

Woodcoin is now a 5 years old block chain with an impressive track record of no premine, no hard forks, and relatively stable valuation. The logarithmic reward curve lies waiting for the eventual realizatoin that geometric curve money supply does not allow enough coinbase rewards for multi generation operation.
