Yeah sorry I meant to clarify only the mac wallet has been updated so far, the windows wallet will be posted shortly and I'll make another update. Sorry for not calling that out. Pink Kitteh will be gone from windows soon! and the launch screen should look much better as well

[danosphere]

Some updates coming out of the KittehCoinTeam:

MacOSX wallet has been officially updated, also posted to GitHub:
https://kittehcoin.info/wallet/mac/kittehcoin-latest.zip

Also, we have an Android app for keeping you posted on the price of MEOW:

Big thanks to lmsthefounder for putting together the Android app. Much more news coming soon, this is just a little something to show the progress we're making

Also stay tuned to our subreddit /r/KittehCoin for more news and updates.

Dano a couple of things my friend, I know this might not be the time, but, did Lonestar give you any control over this thread? Honestly the original announcement on page 1 really sucks, whether it's title or content, it looks like chicken scratch, I made a parallel announcement once because I was so sick of this one, if you search for it you will find it.

If you can not fix this announcement you might want to start a new one with the relaunch. Is there anything new with wallet update other than the Logo? this coin needs something to put it above the rest, 2 weeks for just a logo change is not going to cut it, I suggest you implement a major change before relaunch, I could think of two that were discussed but never implemented. Either you add a feature that would give this coin added value, or you implement the idea of cutting total coins in half and adding a 8 super blocks on daily basis to cover for the cut coins, this will give the coins already mined or invested in instant value gain, and the super block feature adds new interest from miners, if we are following through on a logo that says luck, then how we are not to reflect this luck factor in the mining process? 8 super blocks daily could mean an added value to the Asian market that finds the number 8 to be lucky, change block values  " 888 to 8888 " with 8 super blocks of 888888  or what ever you guys do the math.

Seriously if you are not implementing a new feature, please consider the block value change, also make the early investors happy and the early dumpers mad.

please comment on this asap. Thanks

Excellent points stuhlman and yes we are working to try and get new features into the relaunch (2 specifically that are unique to KittehCoin, as well as upgrading to 0.8.6), I don't want to get ahead of myself by announcing anything prematurely. Thanks for parking that nick, appreciate it . We definitely want to relaunch with new features but a big part of it as well is just having a solid information base for KittehCoin and places that you can use it and that will accept it as payment which are also a large part of the relaunch. Also please understand we haven't spent 2 weeks just building the KittehCoin codebase, actually its been the least focused on by the team at large. We've been spending this time building the community around it, games, services, and core information so it can even legitimately exist in the first place, the coin could be the most unique in the world but with the information available as it was at the first launch it would still have gone nowhere.

We will post the relaunch as an entirely new thread that is why I have let this one go as-is for the time being, we are also planning a status-update announcement post as a new thread as well.

Regarding the block reward settings- this is something we were actively discussing in the devteam chat on KittehCoin forums. We were discussing cutting the reward by 1/5th across the board with bonus blocks or something like you mentioned in order to increase scarcity. The coin total has already been cut once (100B to 50B) I don't know if cutting it again would be bad, I'm not opposed I just don't want people to think anything shady is going on as it's not we just want to make this coin successful even if that means slightly modifying the specs to do so (this is a relaunch after all, but all current coins will remain).

The problem raised with a block reward change is that it would require a hard fork of the codebase which then miners would have to switch to; not the worst thing in the world and definitely something better to do NOW than later but all things that we have been discussing. Would love to hear your thoughts on it (and the community at large). I know dumpers may be upset but I'm not really concerned about them; shouldn't have dumped! Look forward to your input

Thanks

All sounds good now you made me feel better about holding my Meows, but, you mentioned the coins have been halved already, as I recall this was an idea Lonestar was toying with before he got pulled away, this actually never materialized. Unless there was an update I missed, which I highly doubt. Please confirm was it cut once from 100B to 50B, or it was not?

If it is already cute by half then our coins would be worth a lot more, and this is not bad. but i'm not technical what will happen with hard fork of the codebase? what will happen with our coins, can you please explain

The new wallet it's very nice!

Yeah doin this one more time should be ok, but half? Imho 10 B would be best

[chocobo]

how do i upgrade my wallet exactly? Dont want to accidentally delete my coins XD

Still hoping someone will fall for my standing order at 1 satoshi (its not all me tho)... no one has fallen for it yet may have to bite into that sell wall @2 satoshi before we relaunch! Methinks the walls will come down quick if we do our job right.

Nice Confirmed- it was cut once from 100B to 50B and that was applied very shortly after the original launch. We are now discussing possibly lowering that further. It is just an idea at this point (rather than reducing block rewards, or we might do both, nothing official yet; we are working on what would be best for the coin and community in the long run).

Yes coins will be worth more if we do that (technically speaking, since there will be less total). Fork of codebase will not impact you, only miners. Nothing will happen with your coins. I don't want to get into a bunch of details yet since that isn't a confirmed path of action at this point but if we do decide to do that, your coins would be unaffected and we will make sure to communicate it clearly. As you can see we are actively responding to questions and we do care very much about the community.

Yeah doin this one more time should be ok, but half? Imho 10 B would be best

Yeah IF we go down that route it will be by at least half...

The new wallet it's very nice!
Thanks

Thanks! More is coming! We appreciate your patience in this effort, all good things come to those who wait

Where can I find a faucet script?
I have a few thousand kittehcoins that I don't mind sharing  

We have a faucet script we can send you, I'm at the day job right now but when I get home I will PM you the details. We'd love to list your faucet on the site once its up and running too!

Thanks again everyone for your support, questions, and enthusiasm! We're looking forward to making some big announcements very soon! I'm going to try to post a status update here on bitcointalk (in a new thread, this one is getting stale) later tonight.

[danosphere]

how do i upgrade my wallet exactly? Dont want to accidentally delete my coins XD

Just download the latest wallet for your OS from KittehCoin.info and run it; your coins are stored in a wallet.dat file within your home directory so as long as you don't delete that your coins are fine. All you should need to do is download the new exe/app and run it Just like with bitcoin, litecoin, etc.

[damnation]

hmm in my opinion too much of meows are floating about it the market.. and as such it will be harder to get traction with the relaunch..

reducing block rewards is a good idea and is a somewhat better resolution than just reducing the Total coins produced as thats extremly long term.. in the short term, ppl will just see another coin giving out millions every day and as such will be priced accordingly..

[DieJohnny]

Need some social marketing muscle behind Kittehcoin.

1. post on this thread once a day
2. post on sub-reddit once a day http://us.reddit.com/r/kittehcoin/

what else folks...
