What should the RPC port be by default?

./catcoind getaccountaddress ""
error: couldn't connect to server

[cottonseed]

I have the old version of catcoin-qt (v0.8.6.1?) which is not syncing up, it is stuck at 4 weeks behind.

I'm rather new to this. How do I retrieve my wallet/coins?

[Maverickthenoob]

by updating to the new wallet.....you're two wallets behind.



What OS are you running?

Also whatever you do, backup your wallet.dat file in your C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Catcoin folder (assuming you're using Windows 7/8)

Thanks! It wasn't as difficult a process as I expected.
My catcoins are safe

cryptographic software written by Eric Young (eay@cryptsoft.com).


Intro
-----
Catcoin is a free open source peer-to-peer electronic cash system that is
completely decentralized, without the need for a central server or trusted
parties.  Users hold the crypto keys to their own money and transact directly
with each other, with the help of a P2P network to check for double-spending.


Setup
-----
Unpack the files into a directory and run catcoin-qt.exe.

Catcoin-Qt is the original Catcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network.
However, it downloads and stores the entire history of Catcoin transactions;
depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization
process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.

Readme.txt doesn't say anything..

<snip>

I'm assuming you're using windows.  If so, you downloaded a wallet.  That was either an exe or a zip.  Either way, when you ran the exe or unzipped the archive you had a folder with five files inside.  They are:

Code:

catcoin.conf
catcoind.exe
catcoin-qt.exe
hash.txt
ReadMe.txt

The ReadMe.txt has an overview of the files and instructions on how to back-up your wallet.dat, how to use the catcoin.conf, and how to uninstall the earlier versions of the wallet without losing your coins.

Welcome to Catcoin V0.8.9.0!

This package contains five files - this Readme.txt, catcoin-qt.exe (the wallet),
catcoind.exe (the headless node), a list of hash values, and a sample catcoin.conf.

Before updating your wallet, make a copy of your wallet.dat file.  You will lose your
Catcoins if this file disappears!  Your wallet.dat file is located in
AppData\Roaming\Catcoin (press start and search for %appdata% - press enter when you
see Roaming in the search result.

---
To install the wallet for the first time, simply copy it to your desktop and run it.
It will create a database and begin looking for the catcoin network but won't yet find
it.  Close the wallet and navigate to the data folder by:

- press start
- in the search window, type %appdata%, press enter
- click into Roaming, then Catcoin.

Copy the catcoin.conf file into AppData\Roaming\Catcoin, then close the file explorers.

Restart the wallet and it will locate the network and begin downloading the block chain.

---
To upgrade from an earlier stand-alone wallet, copy your wallet.dat to a safe place as
a precaution.  Then simply delete your old catcoin-qt.exe file and replace it with this
version and start the wallet.  It will use your existing files.  You do not need to delete any
files other than the old catcoin-qt.exe.  Check your existing catcoin.conf and add any
node addresses you don't yet have.

To upgrade from an installed wallet, copy your wallet.dat to a safe place as a precaution.
Then uninstall your current wallet.  Start, Control Panel, Programs and Features.  You can
navigate to AppData\Roaming\Catcoin and delete everything EXCEPT your current wallet.dat
and catcoin.conf.  When you start the catcoin-qt.exe for the first time, it will create
the new files you need in the AppData\Roaming\Catcoin folder automatically.

---
You can run the catcoind.exe on another computer for solo mining or to provide another
network node.  On any one computer, run one or the other but not both catcoin applications.

If none of this makes sense, please start your wallet and press Help, then About Catcoin and make sure it says you have version 0.8.9.0.  If you have an earlier wallet, please download one of the packages linked in the first post.

I hope this is useful,
Andy

Are there any pools with updated frontends yet? Most pools stats seem to be based on the coin before the fork.

I say the network hash is almost 600 Mhash, it should have long since slowed down if it wasn't the fact that it's still rocketing upwards can only mean there is a lot more net-hash here than we realized. I'll re-evaluate tomorrow when the blockchain explorer gets repaired.

Someone is purposefully driving the price down on cryptsy with 0.2602 or somthing of a coin and has loads of them all a slightly smaller amount of BTC.

So I don't know what they are thrying to do but it is getting annoying if they keep the price down and prevent it from going higher 
I am in it for the long run but still it is pretty annoying to prevent the potential price of showing through

Good idea, I will donate some. I am sure catcoin will need some marketing effort in order to reach the moon.

With the long blocktime of 10min  it´s much harder to control than with a coin with 60 sec.
So to staiblze much exacter the blocktargettime it would be neccesary to reduce the blocktargetime and
reduce the reward of each block.
But that would rebuild it to a completly other coin. Also t think nobody would care about that.
Let´s see hao it goes on. As soon as there are ASIC Miners a mass out all card get new to the players
