I think there is more hashing power heading Catcoins way now along with a bit more confidence, i would expect to see the net hash rate to increase as the day goes on. Hopefully anyway.

It's in the OP.

You're missing the point. Your system is complicated. People need simple. KISS.

Sure. You buy video cards, install drivers, download the wallet, cgminer, set your mining gear to solo-mine or join a pool. I don't know how "simple" this procedure is for the average people out there in the world - but if they criticize it's too complicated, that applies equally to all the cryptocurrencies. And that might be an opportunity to make an easier way to do it.

As for details of how block rewards work, as a user, you really don't need to know anything about how it works. You follow well-documented procedures to do mining, and you get rewarded for your contribution, other people have vetted it's fair, you'll get fair value in coins for hashing work you contribute - you don't need to worry about the details.

However, if you are interested in squeezing out maximum profits, and want to get technical, then yeah, things can seem more complicated. But at that point, you've asked for the complexity. The loyalty credit system may seem complicated, but it's a designed to counteract people who are already engaged in a complicated strategy to take advantage of a weakness in the reward system as it works currently. It will have essentially zero impact on people who don't engage in that complicated strategy.

.:: Applied the block 20290 hard-fork patch. We are ready! ::.

Quick Start

Start with registering on our pool & creating workers for your computers. You can use our automated config generator in our workers page and download pre-configured files for your mining software.

EU Stratum Server: stratum+tcp://eu.coinum.org:3336
US Stratum Server: stratum+tcp://us.coinum.org:3336

CGMiner Configuration

Here is sample CGMiner configurations with fail-over support. Given that the stratum server you use fails, your miner software will continue to work with out other stratum server.
Note: You have to change WORKER and PASS with your actual worker-name and worker-password values you get from workers page.

EU

Code:

./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://eu.coinium.org:3336 -u WORKER -p PASS --failover-only -o stratum+tcp://us.coinium.org:3336 -u WORKER -p PASS --scrypt -I 13

US

Code:

./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://us.coinium.org:3336 -u WORKER -p PASS --failover-only -o stratum+tcp://eu.coinium.org:3336 -u WORKER -p PASS --scrypt -I 13

Does anyone knows what will happen to the diff / block rewards? Will it stay the same or will it be adjusted?

[raistlinthewiz]

diff will drop, rewards (50CAT per block) will stay the same

[savale]

Sorry should have read the OP I am happy with the fork.

[sleepless]

Anything new from cryptsy? Are the coins safe there or should I pay out?

[NyanCat]

Cryptsy sent me message that they are aware.

[Last1212]

Cryptsy sent me message that they are aware.

So what are they going to do?

[NyanCat]

Probably the same as always - removing market for few hours and deleting orders.

Question to all the pools

When the network hits block 20290 are you going to stop on the block your working on and restart on the new block 20290+ with the easier difficulty or carry on for hours on the old block

Thanks

The way all the cryptocurrencies work, when a block has been solved, all the nodes receive notification they need to drop work, and start working on the new block. This should apply equally in this case.

#cat-pool - http://catpool.co - is being closed, due to low poolrate, and nethashrate dropping - please withdraw your coins by Friday 10pm UTC 3rd Jan

Well it's past that now. Also they seem aware of the fork.. are they still shutting down or what? Not that I particularly care myself, I'll probably stick with Poolerino.

[fredeq]

All pools seem to have around 20Mhash. I wonder where is this 240 Mhash coming from?
