Woodcoin Holidays

Without the "halving days" celebrated by many of the original Satoshi codebase coins, choppers and stackers might be left feeling a little left out.  Not to worry!  There are several crucial days that we can celebrate, which mark the dropping of the coinbase award past a naturally significant amount. Here's a partial list of these...

Great comedy

Dwarvish humor is sometimes not so accessible to those unaccustomed to the histories and subtlety of flavors thereof.  One reliable traditional form might be referred to as "folly" though daiseachan as a comedy genre is perhaps better described as a cross between slapstick and epic tragedy.  Anyway here are three examples of great comedy in...

Wotarianism

The wotarian prefers to consume food and drink which were produced from with the wotarian's web of trust [WOT].  Like other dietary choices, this can be pursued with various degrees of strictness, and never to perfection. Wotarianism is inclusive of all other choices, in that the products could be of any class.  The important thing...
