has been good for a while now, just lamenting the loss of 900CAT that i accrued
both windows wallet and headless under debian work fine, block 44191 at diff 93

James - I enjoyed connecting via PM.  Glad to have you in the community!

I've sent you 900CAT from my personal mining funds to replace the coins you lost.

We're back on slow blocks - it may take a block or two for this to be accepted into a block and show up in the block explorer.  You should already have the coins, though.

Things look good on the network as we roll towards block 46331.  We've had more miners and pools active than we've had in a long while - and the trading volume and price are up as well!

I did a quick 'network health test' today when I sent 10CAT from my account on Cryptsy to my personal wallet, and another 10CAT from my wallet to Cryptsy.  Everything looks perfect!  We'll continue to do these checks as we approach the middle of July, but more importantly will do at least three of them after the fork to make sure we all get to the 'other side' together.

From Cryptsy to my wallet:

From my wallet to Cryptsy:

While we have not gotten word that Cryptsy has upgraded their code, we set the fork block three weeks out because it's taken at least two weeks for them to update for the past three software changes we've gone through.  Make no mistake - they know CAT is valuable, know it's an active project, know who the dev team members are and how to contact us, and they know exactly where to find the source code.
https://www.cryptsy.com/currencies/view/CAT

It's satisfying to see so many in the community already using the new V9.2.0 wallet!  I just did a tally - connected to the seed node I maintain, we have 21 V0.9.1.1 nodes and 20 V0.9.2.0 nodes.  Including our pools and Cryptsy, that's 94% of the network nodes running real code.  CATs rock!

Yes - there is a Mac wallet in the works - thanks for your patience, Apple folks!

Anyway...enjoy your weekend!

It's Caturday, and while Bitcoin forks and burns, you can all have fun showing your independence from central command by picking your own fork block and minimum time!

https://github.com/catcoiner/catcoin

The only way out of this is act like cats and ignore the sheeple who think they are in charge.

Get a life Troy.

There are exactly THREE nodes on the CAT network running your code - and you own all three of them.

Crypto already has consensus baked-in - it's called "a blockchain"  That silence you're hearing here, on your copycat cheat-code repositories, and on your Reddit thread is the result of a profound vote - you're 'an army of one' - the CAT community is honest.

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/3658

The consensus is clear here, closing as "works as intended".

You can join the other side of your head on the ignore list.

The most interesting thing to watch regarding the future of Catcoin right now is cryptsycatcoin, or https://www.cryptsy.com/currencies/view/CAT

If you are mining, and the difficulty number does not match what 'catcoind getinfo' reports, you are probably mining on a fork which is not recognized by the exchange. It's quite possible that the exchange could be behind, or catch up in a block re-organization, or that the exchange might update. But these are all very speculative positions, which carry a significant risk of loss of recently mined catcoin.

The code I have released is (to the best of my knowledge), compatible with the catcoind that cryptsy is running. If this is not the case, then that is a bug, and I would appreciate any bug reports (or patches) for the experimental forward-port of catcoin to a more modern bitcoin-core release at https://bitbucket.org/catcoin/catcoin

There code I'm currently running, FYI is https://bitbucket.org/tmagik/catoshi/commits/3f9f84773c8404ed75b46cf0ceb345a2c11bd9ce but you have to know a little bit about mercurial to build it. Otherwise any 0.9.1.1 release wallet *should* be compatible with catoshi, and with cryptsycatcoin.

I encourage other forks of the catcoin *code*, because more variations of code we have running on the network make for a more robust environment. Even if CatcoinOfficial has a forked blockchain, those nodes are still relaying transactions. The only danger are transactions that include a coin that was mined on one fork but does not exist on the other.

[SlimePuppy]

I will be quite happy to refund anyone who contributed to the insurance fund. My recollection is Eric is quite happy to have me continue to hold the funds, and definitely does NOT approve of giving them to you.

Eric requested the return of his contribution on January 6, 2015.  Please post the transaction ID for his refund.  Thanks in advance.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=441402.msg10061356#msg10061356

Troy - have you refunded Eric or do you intent to double-down on petty theft?

[SlimePuppy]

We're on block 44600 as I post this - fork is at 46331 --  12 days to go.




Thanks Miners!

We've had a 12+ month sale on CAT - The sale ends in about 12 days.

You will have to open a ticket with Cryptsy.  Your coins are on the block chain - the transaction is listed.  As it appears that Cryptsy is updating their code to V0.9.2.0 now, I expect your coins will be available there once they've completed their update and your coins have confirmed.

Pending Wallet/Network Fix  since 2 days 5 hours

We can't see your ticket, but I'm glad you filed one.

Yes - Cryptsy does fix things...but it's not very fast.  Our ticket for the update to V9.2.0 has been open for 12 days - it usually takes them 14 days to complete updates.

As long as your transaction is on the blockchain (and it is) your coins will be waiting at Cryptsy when they finish their work.


BTW...I sent some BTC to my account on Cryptsy 13 hours ago - it's still not there.  When it comes to response speed, here are coin networks and then there's Cryptsy.  

[SlimePuppy]

Ok everyone - Cryptsy is updating CAT right now - don't send or receive to/from Cryptsy until we risk our coins and sound the all-clear.

https://www.cryptsy.com/pages/status

All signs indicate that our main network is functioning normally.  I'm continuing to mine and receive payments normally.  I plan to stop my personal transactions as we approach block 46331 and only use small transactions to test the network after the new code is enabled.  More news when we've got some to share...

[SlimePuppy]

Cryptsy was down more than nine hours on 8th Jul, and about four on the evening of the 7th, dealing with their own databases.  There are still four coins in 'upgrade' status and CAT is one of them.

The fork block is 46331 and the current estimate for transitioning to the new code is 18th Jul.

Bitcoin having multiple solutions developed in parallel by people with opposing views is not a bug of decentralization. It's a feature.

Remember that the next time you read something about running 'unauthorized' code. There's no such thing as an 'official' release of a cryptocoin, there is only the global consensus of miners, developers, and users, and that is the way the system is supposed to work. If you can put up with the mess, and the occasional (or several-year running) flamewar, it seems to work pretty well. If you want an authority to decide what's right, go open a citibank account or donate to the IMF so they can bail out greece again.

Until then, it looks like we are all waiting to see which code cryptsy decides to run. Personally I'm hoping they do a full audit, fix some bugs, and post it to something like github.com/cryptsy/catcoin

Anyone that thinks any project should steer itself with an out of context tweet from someone that doesn't want to work as part of a community in a project that by definition MUST consist of a bunch of people working together for a common goal is missing some critical pieces of information.    Please note these clues from the July BTC forks:

https://bitcoin.org/en/alert/2015-07-04-spv-mining
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/July_2015_forks#Electrum
Some miners are generating invalid blocks - and the entire community is working to identify the bad chains (is calling them invalid!), and is working to get the entire system back together so it works as everyone wants it to work again.  Note the words like trusted servers and valid blockchains and invalid confirmations and invalid blocks.

When it comes to your complaints, Troy, this isn't about 'authorized' code or central control - this is about people intentionally building code that is not only not capable of operating on the CAT network, but by it's very existence harms the project and her community.  That's NOT what is happening in any other project, but it is what has been happening with CAT since you arrived on the scene just after launch.  You have been specializing in invalid code with invalid blocks and untrustworthy servers.

Keep in mind, Troy, that while the various developers in the BTC ecosystem are working to make COMPATIBLE apps and expand the usability of the BTC ecosystem, you have been working to DESTROY the CAT ecosystem.
- Can you name a single BTC process that ran code on seed nodes designed specifically to cause forks and make the network unusable?
- Can you name a single member of ANY other cryptocoin community that contacted an exchange and killed the ability of the entire community to trade the coin?  (That's right folks - Troy's the reason Cryptsy has been stuck on block 44260 and nobody's been able to buy or sell CAT on our only exchange.)
- Can you name any other coin project where a rogue member cloned the coin, changed the parameters to build a completely separate blockchain that is not compatible with the original project, took the projects graphics and name, and is standing alone against the entire development team and the community?

You do not have a single line of code in this project.  You are not a developer here.  You have proven you don't respect this project or her community.  You have betrayed this project and everyone that trusted you.  I didn't do that.  Neither did Blaksmith, Zerodrama, Maverick, Ambethia, or anyone else that put their own time or money into this project.  Even Eric didn't do that.

You, Troy, have become 'an army of one' that continues to work to destroy this project.  And for the life of me I cannot understand - because you apparently think enough about the project to beg, borrow, or steal CATs, and you have made it clear that profit is the number one planet in your solar system.  If you think this is a valuable project, and you want to make money, why in the HELL are you working so hard and so often to KILL IT?!

That's why you are kicked and banned from IRC and reddit, why you've been flagged as a rogue at Cryptsy, and that's why you're ignored here.
