the creators will win this.. Coinye - Gayfishcoin
if Kanye's smart wich i know he is, he will spend a mill on mining rigs, and make it even bigger.
probably already did that,
Clearly you don't know Kanye West that well, then.  |

Congrats to nullu, nice superblock  Thanks. thats a 5%er nice going.
It's nice to know even with my modest 275khash/sec I can still get decent payouts from this coin. the superblocks make this real interesting to solo. I totally agree. The current difficulty makes it just right for solo mining, and it's a lot more exciting waiting to hit a block than pool mining. |

I've received a lot of hate from several people via PM about me "abandoning MY project", that people invested real money into this, that I shouldn't be able to sleep with the damage I've done to people letting the price of the CAT go down, etc etc.
This is not MY coin, I don't control it and I don't decide its price. This coin is property of everyone who holds any amount of CAT and trust me when I say that I only have a very few amount of them. Please go and blame the people who hold dozens of thousands of CATs (not me) and didn't donate for giveaways or bounties when they were made with hopes to promote this feline.
Because the robbery happened into my house I had to take a 2nd job that is now using most of my previous spare time, so I can't work on the coin like I did before. But hey, this is a community, patches are accepted on the Github repo and you don't need my help to promote the CAT or create services around it. Do you?
It will be at least several weeks until I can get enough free time again to donate to non profit (for me) internet projects. So I will be accepting patches, suggestions and OP modifications requests in the meanwhile (If you get a consensus about the current situation of the difficulty changes, then I will implement it, just like I did on the hard fork). If you want this cat to be successful, take some action yourself! Don't keep waiting someone else to do the job for you.
Ignore the haters, they just need a scapegoat and you are an easy target. We still need that fork that I mentioned though. I could do it but there is a trust issue. I was wondering if you could do it? I'll give you 200 CATs right now for whatever you need. Saludos de Argentina amigo Chileno! Before we rush ahead with another fork, could we do it right this time and discuss how it's going to be implemented, and what sort of ramifications it would have? The exchanges aren't going to be happy with another fork. The pool situation last time nearly killed Catcoin on its feet. If there is to be a second fork, it needs to be done right. Single purpose. Slow, methodical, and with consensus. Everything gets discussed here, and then it gets put to a general vote once it's been discussed in detail. I do like your ideas though. |

I know you've gotten some negative PMs, but please believe me when I say there are a lot of people here trying very hard to promote this coin, and while your support and efforts are greatly welcome, we understand if they cannot take absolute priority over more pressing matters. I hope you get back on your feet soon, and thanks for spending the time you have on Catcoin. I certainly agree that some big holders of Cat would be doing the currency they've invested in a great service by donating some of it to yourself. As the Dev you deserve a stake in its future too. |

Did I just hit a superblock?  If I did it was a small one, but still; sweet. |

It's a botnet!
what do you mean? I mean manually doing it at all computers you see.... and thoughts and if anyone else has done it. could there be legal issues? Infecting people's computers with Trojans? Nah, I'm sure it'll be fine. You can hide programs like miners using batch files. Not that I'm encouraging this adventure into criminality. |

Hi , I've been mining GRA for a week now, got a few friends into it, looks promising, i really like the PoS part and the fact that it's not in an exchange it. I read through some concerns of people who say there are not enough miners, but GRA has a PoS system too, shouldn't you consider the open unlocked wallets too as a factor stabilizing the grain network? Isn't PoW useless compared to PoS? (i was thinking of mining for another week, and then just leave my wallet open) What do you think could make Grain more likable compared to other coins? And i was wondering - i noticed the network retargets the difficulty every block, doesn't that cause some overhead and loss of performance? happy mining I wasn't aware you had to leave your wallet open to receive the PoS. |

I'm calling it. Either the coins in that wallet address get moved, and we never hear from visacoin again, or he strings everyone along to see if he can squeeze a few more BTC out of this, or he announces the coins were stolen or some other such unlikely story.
He's probably gone quiet because he's trying to figure out his exit strategy. Anyone who gets a single Satoshi back from this should count themselves extremely lucky.

Thanks everyone and all that sent me encouragements. I found the issue of pos, why it is stopped. It related to the issue that network time sometimes messed up. For pos, the last pos block (block 62235) has a network time before the previous pos block (block 62234), this messed everything and caused the pos generation does not meet the criteria so it is rejected: >> Height = 62235, fProofOfStake = 1, nActualSpacing = -575
>> pindexPrev->GetBlockTime() = 1388562077, pindexPrev->nHeight = 62235
>> pindexPrevPrev->GetBlockTime() = 1388562652, pindexPrevPrev->nHeight = 62234 I have a fix for that, and it works in my test (generated pos block again). But this is a hard fork. I will provide a new version of the client, and it is a mandatory upgrade. I will give about 3 days before the switch over happens. Before the switch over happens, the coin will generate only the pow blocks (as it is now). The same issue seems occur at pow block, that's why sometimes in block explorer you will see the time messed up. I do notice that this occurs in many other coins. In general this will not cause much problems, but sometimes it could cause diff behave strangely (usually transient). The network time issue is a broader issue which may need some revisit on the fundamentals of the cryptocoin, which I will not address now (this will require a lot more work and maybe a team work). With my fix, the next time network time issue in pos should not cause a stop in pos generation. A new version of the client will be provided some time later today or tomorrow. Great work. I'll be pointing my shiny new R9 280x at Grain tomorrow when it arrives. |

Anyone who thinks this is a serious scam is as bad as anyone who falls for the actual ones. Learn to read. Anyone stupid enough to fall for this has probably been lobotomised.

I made a deposit earlier today of Cat and it has 6 confirmations and it's still pending. Is Cryptsy always this slow?
Yes it is. Once my BTC clears I'll shoot the price per coin up. It's thin as hell. I'm going to work on making a simple API script in PHP at some point to sell my coins based on particular market conditions when my funds clear. I can't wait this long for them to clear every time. It'd drive me mad. |

Your algorithm would still create swings that are too large. A simple 20% increase cap and 30% decrease cap is sufficient.
On another note, I missed the fire sale, stupid BTC is still clearing.
I made a deposit earlier today of Cat and it has 6 confirmations and it's still pending. Is Cryptsy always this slow? I like the idea of a cap, however shouldn't it be the other way around? Wouldn't you want the increase cap to be higher than the decrease cap to encourage difficulty to reach the right level? I suppose either way would work, depending on whether you want to slow down difficulty growth, or slow down difficulty decline. |

Look at these diff swings
98 -> 26 -> 45 -> 63 -> 29 -> 78
The down swing should take a percentage of the difficulty level that came before it to make it resistant. For example; if(26 < (98 / 2) && 26 < 98) new difficulty = 26 + (98 / 2) Which is pseudo code for; if the next difficulty is lower than the previous difficulty, and the current difficulty is less than half of the next difficulty, then add half of the new difficulty to the old difficulty, and use this new difficulty instead. I'm a c++ programmer, but I wouldn't know where to begin with implementing something like this without spending a solid week buried in code. |

discussed your idea with my chinese dev team and they really like it. if you need a good team to make this project happen within a reasonable time frame, contact us at chinese@163.com or lode@live.com. THE CHINESE DEVS HAVE TAKEN THE BITCOINS AND RAN AWAY UPDATE READ NOW!!!!!!! I've been getting so many pms from left and right that I cannot simply reply to all of them in a given time. I've been waiting for the Chinese Devs to get back on but they have not gotten on. I believe they have ran away with the investors money and my money. My Name Is Mike Jones Email :MikeJonesPb@outlook.com I live on 3109 Whitewood St NW, North Canton, OH 44720 If they do not reply within 48 hours I will try to gather some money and try to refund the users. I will eventually refund the users but in a matter of time. Email Me If You Want a refund - MikeJonespb@outlook.com The Chinese Devs emails are His name is Phelix - Lode@live.com
His Name is Wunga - Chinese@63.com I said before in the thread that I'm not the Dev and I DO NOT HAVE CONTROL OF THE BITCOIN WALLET Yeah. Looks more like bad taste, really, but you be the judge. |

Relaunch moved back to January 10th 17:00 (GMT) due to all the Coinye West hype.
Thanks for the update. I'm glad some thought is going into this coin. What will I need to do to mine this again at launch? I already downloaded the wallet last time. Will it need to be re-downloaded, or can I delete the blockchain and just wait until launch? |
