BTW - Stuck at block 26053 then had to delete blocks .... again! ...and it's still stuck

What wallet/system are you running?  Why did you feel you had to delete blocks?  Everyone so far that's run the code on Windows and Linux found that it ran perfectly - no need to reload the block chain or rebuild the other files at all.

No wallet code - old or new - can display blocks that aren't yet complete.  Block 26053 was one of our long blocks (a bit more than 5 hours).  Please check the chart - if we're on long blocks, it's absolutely expected that the wallet could show 1, 2, 3, or more hours behind depending on the length of the current block.  This is normal.

http://www.catstat.info/

For example - the current block is 26055.  It's about 3 1/2 hours old.  Both the V8.9.10 and V9.0.0 Windows wallets show "3 hours behind" just as they should.

Ah... Thanks for the explanation. I will check in future. It's just that, even if it is the current block, I expect to see the wallet is sync'd after some time. The wallet remained unsync'd.

Glad to help, Tribesman.  Did your wallet sync yet?

Yes, the wallet is sync'd now.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is not the captain speaking.  Please note, however, that the captain has turned OFF the seat belt sign in preparation for Caturday's course correction.

All operating exchanges are running the current code with one exception - can anyone guess which exchange that is? 


Bring on the fork!  

[FlipPro]

Thank you for the amazing updates Slimepuppy!

Oh what would I do without you!

I think CatCoin is one of the most undervalued (if not the most undervalued) alt coin in this entire space…..

It's waiting for passionate people take the lead!

Are you passionate enough ?

Reply with ideas on how to make CatCoin a bigger, better, more inclusive coin!

[kuroman]

Hmmm, Looking at this right now https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=504103.0;all, well BitcoinExpress is a well known troll, and he claimes alot of stuff but fails to deliver most of the time but it's still something to take into consideration and to watch out for, I'm trying to find technical details on the matter.

As to how to make Catcoin rock again, I believe the first thing to do is to solve all the technical issues, once that done, I believe marketing and advertising on several front is necessary, some good stuff are being done right now, but more needs to be done to have a larger reach, more people should be involved, once all these are done, I believe the coin will be back to the top, as it has a strong brand/brand name and especially it has strong support from faithfull supporters

Looking like the fork ain't happening today...

[Blaksmith]

Looking like the fork ain't happening today...

Sadly, I think I mis-calculated the block number for the fork.  At the time of this post, still 814 blocks left till the fork hits.  That is completely my fault.  

My calculation was 144 blocks per dip, and 1.2 dips per day, and there were 7 days from the time we selected the block.  I think I probably should have used 72 blocks per dip for my calculation instead.  The way I came up with 144 blocks, is there is 4 quarters per a full cycle of this current algo, and 36 blocks per quarter.  I should have used 36 per half of cycle, I'm assuming.

The block will come around, just a bit later than anticipated

Thank you so much for your concise explanation.

We need some angel hashers to get us to the fork faster!

Where are you guys? Lots of BTC to be made on this fork!!

[SlimePuppy]

Nice uptick in price for CAT over the past 4 or so hours!

Calling all CATs - now's the time to get us over the finish line - please bring out your miners!

You can find a P2Pool node near you here:  http://p2pools.org/cat  Or connect with your favorite pool - Only 743 blocks to go!

And stay tuned for the return of The Diamond Collar next Friday, 28th March!

You think we had nice jumps in miners and coin value after our last fork?  Wait until you see what happens after this fork and our Oprah bump!

Thanks everyone!

[Reddit] Changing landscape for Scrypt

The GPU mining landscape is about to change drastically and many have not woken up to this fact. KNC recently took $2m in pre-orders for their 100MH Scrypt ASIC. These may start coming on to the network in Q2/Q3 of this year. There is no doubt that these will be turned on to many of the small Scrypt coins out there to strip them, sell the coins and then leave. This is going to leave many small coins unusable, many have less than 1MH. People do not seem to be aware of the problems this is going to cause and perhaps were not around for the SHA-256 ASICs turning up. This left many small SHA-256 at the time in a state where they had to hard fork to resolve the issues and others just disappeared. It is possible to move hashing algos in those coins.

.. there does not seem to be any Scrypt coins who are seriously talking about changing their hashing algorithms. They may soon have their hand forced in the same way that Terracoin had no choice but to fork. However many small Scrypt coins do not seem to have an active developer in site, just communities of users who may soon be left without a working coin.

Something to keep an eye on. Keeping Catcoin as a pure Scrypt coin may be a bad idea if any of this holds weight.

Thanks for this update, Skillface!

I can guarantee you that we have primary and back-up plans should these scrypt ASICs actually ship.  I can also guarantee you that CAT has an active dev team. , but you know that already.

Scrypt-N and Scrypt-Jane will hold since they are memory heavy, and fast dram is the most expensive part in the equation, a possible solution would be to switch to one of those, but again there are more urgent things to be done

We have already been talking about some of those for a future update.  If everything works as expected, we should have a bit of time to decide on the best one for catcoin, before the Scrypt ASICs start hitting the streets.

Someone dump a lot in Cryptsy and the price drop to 0.0001XXX, this coin seems going to die soon. I slowly lose the faith, loss more than 5btc in this shit coin.
