I'm new to kittehcoin.. and the wallet is not working (for me) for windows version.
I tried this link here:
https://kittehcoin.info/wallet/win/kittehcoin_v0.8.6.2-kgw.zip
and that one just times out.

Any help?
Thanks

Is someone working with this coin at all now? Any News?

define "will be back soon"

your guess is as good as mine. I asked him about it weeks ago now and he said was temporary and wld be back. He is on #Kittehcoin IRC on freenode  every day , username @veremitz & @SttMichael , ask him

MEOW is bright but pretty inactive... launched in 2013...

maybe to join forces with CATcoin?

If MEOW adds in auxpow, then I will add it to be MergeMined with CAT on GeekHash.

Just an Update:

Kittehcoin.info - has been back online now for a couple of weeks now and all issues that caused the site to fall have been resolved. A more structured design is going to be put online in beta form for the community's input.

kittehcoinblockexplorer.com - is back online and functioning without error. It is currently using a heavily modded version of bitcoin-abe that is in beta mode so if you result in any bugs please let me know so they may be addressed right away.

Wallet Seeding - a new master DNS seed has been initiated so you should no longer have any problems connecting to the network as it has been assigned to the default address hard-coded into every wallet.


New Services:

Kittehtrest - is a new concept of online wallet that will allow for users to store there kittehcoins in and earn interest. This is just about ready to hit beta development stage and all coins that are used dispensed as interest will be coins mined by the service.

   Want to add a service let us know!



Network Update:

Mining is slow now a days on the network but activity is still up to date, we have noticed that there have been misbehaving nodes on the network that are causing invalid block counts and wallet syncing issues. We are looking for ways to eliminate this and are interested in any feedback you may have.



More to come...

Kittehcoin.info hangs while loading... (backround and gallery not visible) When I press stop, all works good. Some script magic?

Excellent!

Domain name is changed to IP - it's not good. Do you use redirect? Configure DNS instead it! It's also a good idea to change the port to a standard.
So, link to blockexplorer on coinmarketcap (http://kittehcoinblockexplorer.com/chain/Kittehcoin) now don't works.

You can also add link to alternative block explorer

Good idea! But not clear for me, how Kittehtrest will get profit?

Yeah, my node eats over 500 MB of memory, may be it happens due to illegal nodes

We can use protocol version (may be subver) for disconnect bad peers

Valid peers must have:

"version" : 70002,
"subver" : "/Satoshi:0.8.6.2/",

Examples of invalid peers:

"version" : 60003,
"subver" : "/RabbitCoin:1.1.0.1/",
...
"version" : 70001,
"subver" : "/Shibetoshi:1.5.0/",
...
"version" : 70003,
"subver" : "/Shibetoshi:1.8.0/",
...

Possible solution:

version.h#L34

-static const int MIN_PEER_PROTO_VERSION = 60003
+static const int MIN_PEER_PROTO_VERSION = 70002;
+static const int BAN_1_PROTO_VERSION = 70003;

main.cpp#L3457

-if (pfrom->nVersion < MIN_PEER_PROTO_VERSION)
+if (pfrom->nVersion <  MIN_PEER_PROTO_VERSION ||
+   pfrom->nVersion == BAN_1_PROTO_VERSION)

I'll try do it in my own node.

UPD
So, I have 13 good peers for now:

"version" : 70002,  "subver" : "/Satoshi:0.8.6.2/",  "startingheight" : 881242,  "addr" : "46.254.14.245:49105",

All invalid peers is disconnected successfuly

Not really sure why but as stated there will be a beta version of a new site coming online so I am sure it will have a lot less problems.

Domain name is changed to IP - it's not good. Do you use redirect? Configure DNS instead it! It's also a good idea to change the port to a standard.
So, link to blockexplorer on coinmarketcap (http://kittehcoinblockexplorer.com/chain/Kittehcoin) now don't works.

The new version of the blockexplorer is using a brand new heavily moded version of bitcoin-abe that I am currently still working on, yes its redirecting to another ip as its easier for testing that way until complete. Still fixing any and all notified bugs. When bug testing is done I am then going to amp up the server for it to use ngnix and a few other things and bind it properly to the domain name. Until then it is using the built in version of apache.

Good idea! But not clear for me, how Kittehtrest will get profit?

This project is not about profit for the parent site, it is clearly about giving back to the kitteh community for trusting and holding kitteh this long. The site generates its kittehcoin using a miner I have dedicated to this project, its mined to a wallet that will be used to transfer interest to users. As one of the new developers I am looking to bring kittehcoin back to life and back to its fullest potential.

The way it works is simple, deposit your kittehcoin to the address provided. Lock your kittehcoin in the wallet and for every 24 consecutive hours its locked interest will be transferred to the balance. There have been talks about adding this feature into the wallet but as big of a project that is we are starting with this one first until that project is accomplished.

I have been made aware of this problem, I am going to investigate your fix and if it goes well and seems to work without issue then I will apply it to the wallet and release a fixed version of the wallet. Are you familiar with programming into wallets and such? If so interested in joining the development team? We could always use more brains on the project.

Also I am not sure why your node would be eating up 500MB with such small number of connections, the main seed node has just over 200 peers and its not even running at that much ram. Perhaps did you make any further alterations to your wallet to eat up this much? If you are running a strict node perhaps disable the wallet feature and see if this changes anything.

It's good to see that the development of this nice coin is going on! Always loved KittehCoin

Yeah project was taken over a bit ago and there's still a couple original guys lurking in the shadows such as vere that are good guys and make sure there input is there when needed Always looking for more ideas and team members

Yeah, I think I can help with wallet development. Who in team now?

Kittehcoin has ugly difficulty retarget filter (aka KGW). So we can see that sometimes generation of blocks is frozen for a long time (up to 24 hours and more). Difficulty swing is crazy also. So it's a first that we must fix in hard fork.

Also I am not sure why your node would be eating up 500MB with such small number of connections, the main seed node has just over 200 peers and its not even running at that much ram. Perhaps did you make any further alterations to your wallet to eat up this much? If you are running a strict node perhaps disable the wallet feature and see if this changes anything.

Before fix my node has over 30 connections and over 50% of invalid peers. No any changes I made. 500 MB it's not a RAM but a virtual memory. I'm not sure, but may be memory pool of transactions was spammed by transactions from invalid peers.

For now node has about 17 valid connections, none invalid, and memory consumtion is about 300 MB.

How can run a strict node with disabled the wallet feature?

[dockingtriple]

Many take-over coins nowadays.

[ryandanielt]

How can run a strict node with disabled the wallet feature?

edit your kittehcoin.conf file with the following information

daemon=1
maxconnections=200
txindex=1
server=1
listen=1
banscore=50
disablewallet=1

most commands are standard in conf but others are less used.
disabling the wallet feature should save you at least 50 - 150 MB

Many take-over coins nowadays.

Only some are worth the effort!
