[ANN] Catcoin - Scrypt meow!

[johnny_non]

I am having issues with the new wallet. It connects to sync but is not actually doing anything. it has said 'processed 20290 of 20522" for about three hours now.

Any help?

Thanks

which version are you using?

Liquidity is disappearing quickly on the exchanges.
With zero catalysts in sight and a skyrocketing BTC price, this isn't looking too good at all.

im not hating on cat or anything .. but this is the reason i do not mine

1 cat = 0.0004   takes like 5 hours on pool to get

2500 doge = 0.0007  takes also 5 hours to get

The estimated difficulty will drop per each block since the hashrate dropped so much, it was ~600 at one point

Wat? What's you're hash rate. Doge is forked all to shit right now.

20290 was the fork block, you have the right client, i would wait a while isf it has a status bar, otherwise i would uninstall re install...

It has a status bar, says I am 28 hours behind.
I'll just leave it running tonight, hope it gets it shit together.


Thank you.

YOu need to redownload the blockchain and add some nodes.

Shut down Catcoin-Qt. If you're using windows 7, open the start menu and type %appdata% in the search bar and hit enter. Go into the catcoin folder and delete the blocks and chainstate folders as well as peers.dat. DO NOT DELETE WALLET.DAT OR YOU WILL LOSE YOUR COINS. Open up Catcoin-Qt and go to help and then Debug in the menu. Switch to the console tab, and type:

"addnode us.coinium.org add" without the quotes and hit enter.
"addnode catcoin.com add"

You should then be for sure downloading the correct blockchain. You must add the nodes fairly quickly, to prevent invalid nodes from being connected to, if there are any left.

im on 500 k/hash

the fork did not effect my mining rly ... doge price is 0.0000003

Hashcows hit us. From nearmiss directly:

(12:27:45 AM) Maverickthenoob: as a favor, don't hit catcoin for a few days
(12:27:56 AM) Maverickthenoob: you're causing crazy diff oscilations
(12:31:08 AM) nearmiss: will do, I'll turn it off for min. 3 days, let me know how things look then
(12:31:15 AM) Maverickthenoob: thanks man
(12:31:19 AM) Maverickthenoob: I really appreciate that


Even at this diff should be about 25 Minutes a block, meainging we should be good to go in 9 hours. It's not that bad. Keep mining.

Oh that's good news then. I just hope that Middlecoin will leave us alone for a while as well (though something tells me they won't give a flying shit compared to Hashcows).

There is a simple thing these multipool/middlecoin type services can do to be nice to coins like Catcoin - watch the blockchain and switch into mining several blocks early, so the difficulty adjustment will realistically take into account the new hashrate - or at least anticipate when the low difficulty is about to go away, and switch away from mining the coin several blocks early (so the new retarget does not count their massive hash power in estimating the next difficulty level). But in a way, this defeats the purpose of these "profitability maximizing" pools - they feed on (and feed) the wild oscillations to give miners using them "profits" at the expense of anyone who mines any one coin.

I am not suggesting we do another hard fork to implement a permanent fix (such as my loyalty credit proposal) right now, but it may be a good idea if one of the coin developers felt inspired to play with testing the proposed solution to see if it can be coded and tested within a reasonable timeframe - just to have it available in case the oscillations show signs of get worse and worse without any letup, and having a solution ready may be good preparation.

We should feel embarassed to be asking a coin switching pool to leave us alone as a favor - we are suppose to be running a robust system that follows the "code is law" principle - we are supposed to build robustness and incentives in, so we don't ever have to ask for favors. And these favors may be granted once or twice, by specific coin switching pools, but is probably not a sustainable strategy. Without changing any code, we can implement a system of notifying Catcoin miners to watch the blockchain, and send out alerts to start mining early with email/text notification, which will prevent difficult levels from dropping quite so low, and this may be enough to keep catcoin off the top of profitability charts. Anyone with the resources to be able to write software to watch the blockchain and send out notifications like this?

This my friends, is called a CORRECTION in price. We were undervalued for FAR too long!
They are trying to ninja purchase cheap CATcoins while everyone is sleeping. DO NOT SELL TO THEM!

60??? Are you kidding? Even at the current low CAT price, it's already half the price of the retail game (and it's just a coupon code, not even a box with a nice cover).

but that's like 20 something bucks ... I searched on ebay and matched the prices there ... I'm not trying to get rich off of some cupons just having some fun lol ...
