Rats! I have tried to find this option in HelpMessage.

What's about team? Anybody except you?

[jeremy grol]

Good coin!  Happy to see a relaunch.
Already lost some on scam coins/devs, but this sound good.

Great job.

I added additional check by subversion (client name), due to the existance of invalid peers with valid protocol version:

main.cpp#L3472

        if (!vRecv.empty()) {
            vRecv >> pfrom->strSubVer;
            pfrom->cleanSubVer = SanitizeString(pfrom->strSubVer);
        }
+   if (pfrom->cleanSubVer.substr(1,CLIENT_NAME.size()) != CLIENT_NAME) {
+            // disconnect from peers with invalid CLIENT_NAME
+            printf("partner %s has invalid subversion %s; disconnecting\n", pfrom->addr.ToString().c_str(), pfrom->cleanSubVer.c_str());
+            pfrom->fDisconnect = true;
+            return false;
+        }

Good to see some activity here again. I have been following Kittehcoin from the start. Love this coin

Github source updated with the current illegal peer fix!

Been tested and working without errors!

[veremit]

Still lurking in the wings, and on IRC.

Glad to report website is back, thanks ryandaneilt. Can we get forums online?

I'd like to see some fixes for the KGW vulnerabilities soon, and proper use of checkpoints to ensure the blockchain doesn't de-rail whilst we get back on track! Peers were posted on forum, and I will repost here once I've ported my wallet from my miner box to my desktop.

yeah ill have get the forums back up by tomorrow. never noticed they were still down, also dont quote me on it but I dont think you will need a list anymore because I have 7 nodes going and i installed the wallet just off the installer with no config and it connected to the network in seconds.

try it yourself vere and let me know


Also as stated the fix has been implemented to the src for the illegal nodes issue but I dont have the time to build a new windows source file so vere if you feel up to it that would be much appreciated

[catotune]

I will repeat what some others have mentioned, and say that I am really glad MEOW is alive and actively being developed!

Since Cryptsy looks like it is in the process of imploding, is there anywhere else to trade KittehCoin these days?

Not as of yet but if cryptsy goes under I will make sure kittehcoin makes it to another exchange for trading.

Thanks for the quick reply! I will just add that even before they go under, this is an issue, because people are reporting that Litecoin withdrawals do not work on Cryptsy.

This mean that we can buy and sell MEOW without problems, but if you do sell for LTC and try to withdraw, you are stuck with your LTC in a pending state forever. Effectively sellers can't collect their money unless they exchange their LTC for something else (but not BTC, DASH, DOGE, BTCD, or any of the 80+ wallets under maintenance).

EDIT: added DASH to the list of coins that won't withdraw from Cryptsy

I will be sure to send off some email's to some exchanges, I will update here when I know something further.

I don't have any windows boxes up currently, but I'll investigate cross-compiling.

Looks like the 'net has 'hung' today .. so we'll see what gives.

Really would like to get some more updates into a new build, but we'll see how things pan out.

I'll be renewing the two key domains in the new year .. the main kittehcoin.info and kittehcoinblockexplorer.com only for now.

very important issue
MEOW needs a new place to trade

my best suggestion is cryptopia (live website needed before submission!! ... think tumbler/freeweb ... good enough)
2nd pick is bluetrade
3rd southX?
4th alcurex

and is there an addnode resource?

First off there is a live website.
Second off the dns seeding has been fixed in the wallet so they auto seed now properly.

Also kittehcoin is waiting for moderator review on cryptopia and I am waiting to hear back from other exchanges.


Also @vere

Network hung for so long because my rigs went down earlier, when my rigs come off theres not enough hashrate to find blocks until the auto switch kicks in at bejjan's pool.

What ya got hooked up and where .. I still got a 3gpu rig that runs a few hours a day .. could point that at net from time-to-time.

I have about 10 million MEOW in cryptsy.... is there any way I can get it out or is it too late?

[ilostmyface]

I need nodes, anyone have any nodes? Can't SYNC

[veremit]

Chain is currently frozen at block 921071 on January 8th 1553 GMT according to my client.

Good, genuine real kitteh nodes I have live, based on the new patched kitteh wallet code, which will be updated soon are:

Code:

193.227.134.111:22566
62.151.183.106:22566

You will see all sorts of strange nodes appearing in your kitteh wallets, with odd ports and client names - these are rogues to the best of our knowledge, and will attempt to cause sync issues with the main network. The team is on it, and will patch the wallet asap, and release new clients. You can clone the github repo if you know how, and build a fresh wallet from there.

I'll keep you posted as best I can.

As far as I'm aware .. cryptsy is still trading .. but no transactions will get processed whilst the chain is stuck.

Repeat Until the blockchain starts generating blocks .. no coins will be exchanged between Kittehcoin wallets anywhere. This is how crypto works, and is the only weakness where coins are concerned.

Unfortunately we have a shortage of miners on the kitteh network, which means that if the few that are on, fall off .. we're hung until the situation resolves. Rest assured, we're on it, and hopefully we'll get kitteh onto better footing asap.
