Topic: [ANN] Catcoin - 0.9.1.1 - Old thread. Locked. Please use 0.9.2 thread. - page 15. (Read 131061 times)

My wallet won't sync past 3 days behind, just won't get anything new past that, 3 active connections to the catcoin network.

There are still discussions going on as to the next step that will be best for Catcoin. 

So, it's been over 3 months since I've been around these parts.

It's downright depressing to see CAT in its current state. Is there actually anything going on behind the scenes or has the CAT finally used up all nine lives?

this shit is ass backwards. I just replaced my wallet with a very old copy of my backed up wallet and open the catcoin wallet app and it ended up syncing with 2.77 more coins then before i closed it. Its the exact same wallet just older and suddenly i have more coins?? i havent mined catcoins in months either so ik its not new coins….unless someone sent me coins which is really nice of them to do but if no one did im completely lost here lol. it also says:

thats the info for the 2.77 coins and it says from "unknown" which is weird. is this sorta stuff normal for catcoin?? i just cant find ne explaination for their confusion so maybe im just stupid lol.

i only mined from coinex.pw and coinium i never traded for catcoins and i also never purchased catcoins or any other form of collecting them…only mined. It was a while ago so i dont remember how many came from coinex and how many came from coinium but at the time i mainly mined coinium and there were times where there was a fork but they coins were taken from my account and an announcement was put up explaining why coins were missing and so on. I switched to coinex only when coinium was down for upgrades or when there wasnt enough pool hashrate to mine much but most of the time i was on coinium for catcoins.

How did you originally get those 34 coins? The most likely thing is that those 34 coins were sent to you on a fork that was eventually overridden. Depending on whether you were mining, and got those coins as part of mining awards, or payment for something, you may be able to get the original sender to resend the coins to you. If you were contributing to mining on a fork that did not turn out to be the one that won out, then there never were any coins, and they weren't really lost, more that you saw some phantom coins.

i didnt use a pool to store my coins though….it was my catcoin wallet. yes 34 and change. sure its not a ton but mined coins r mined coins lol. 1.8 coins is what i was left with after redownloading the blockchain so there goes 34 coins i guess. blower

It's never a good idea to use a mining pool as a place to store coins. You lost a total of about 34 coins?

well it wasnt an individual that sent me the coins. No one actually sent me ne catcoins all of them came from coinex.pw or from another catcoin pool but i forgot the name of it since i havent mined them in a while but if im remembering correctly it was coinium.org. so basically i lost the coins earned then?? i guess it was my stupidity for thinkin holdin coins was smart to do. i figured hacking/stealing coins was the way to lose them besides not backin up your wallet of course but this kinda blows. It was confirmed before i upgraded. once i didnt no transactions after the middle of march post. Is there any way to see when the forks happened?? its hard to believe there was a fork in the bc for the better part of a month…..wouldnt someone have noticed it? kinda blows.

You may or may not have lost the coins. This would usually mean whoever sent you the coins were on the wrong fork when they sent you the coins, so as soon as they update their software, they should see that what they thought they sent to you, is still sitting in their wallet. In this case, you should ask them to re-send. If the coins were mined on the wrong fork, then the coins never came into existence as far as the official fork is concerned, so in that case, there is nothing available to send to you. It is imperative that when you are mining and transferring coins back and forth with people, you make sure there has not recently been a new version that came out, and if so, both you and the other person are on the same version.

Thank you for being engaged and posting this question. Please feel free to post any additional questions. I will send you a couple of coins for being engaged and asking a good question.

There is some truth to the statement that confirmation take a long time with Catcoins currently. You can look at the blockchain at www.catchain.info to see the list of when blocks were most recently found. Just as with bitcoin, Catcoin requires 120 confirmations before the generated coins can be spent. However, sometimes blocks are taking hours to generate - you can see this for yourself if you go visit catchain.info. Currently, we are at block 29275 (as of this writing), so any coins generated on or before block 29155 should be available to spend, which corresponds to June 28. So I would give it about 3 more days. I know it's frustrating, but at least by keeping your eye on the catchain.info, you can see precisely when the block you helped solve will become available.

There are or were some Catcoin pools that made coins available before waiting the entire 120 blocks, you may want to ask around. You can visit ##catcoin on the freenode IRC network and try asking there. As a bonus, if you lurk around that channel, it will give you automated real time announcements on when a block is found.

There are discussions and plans being formulated which will improve the slow block situation. This has been a long standing issue which has been getting slowly sorted out. A few months ago, believe it or not, it was even worse.

I appreciate your patience. If you give me your Catcoin receive address, I will toss a couple of Catcoins your way to thank you for being engaged and posting this question to this thread.

whats up with my coins?? i had 30 somethin coins when i used the older version so i updated my wallet and redownloaded the blockchain and now any transactions after 3/16/14 arent showing up as confirmed. I have this showing:

and it wont go any further……they were confirmed in the old version before i upgraded to the new version because the old one wasnt able to sync up anymore and it said i had to upgrade so thats what i did….did i just lose everything??

Hi All. How long should it take to get confirmations? I've been waiting a week on a pool for the first block I mined and it still says 4 confs left, have a few more blocks waiting, with the last one saying 42 confs left, and that was mined on 7/1. I sent a support request to the site and the reply was "The coin seems to only be mined intermittently which slows down the confirmation process.", I've never heard of this excuse and am having a hard time believing it. Any info appreciated. Thanks, Tom.

Enjoy e-pool mining!

Nothing new to report at this time that I can tell.  Had a nice bit of steady hashing on it through the day today, and it started to level out, till someone slammed it again ... With the 4th of July holiday coming up here in the USA, I don't expect much more until after the holiday.

Any news with CAT?

OK, got it.  Thank you.

It will say out of sync because it thinks it is (cause the last block is from 3 days ago).  when the current block is solved your wallet will say synced again even tho it currently is.

But in that case shouldn't my wallet be up to date?  It says 'out of sync'.

Thanks-

That is the correct version, and that is the current block, been stuck on it for the past 3 days.
