Topic: [ANN] Catcoin - 0.9.1.1 - Old thread. Locked. Please use 0.9.2 thread. - page 19. (Read 131061 times)

for all of you having problems with sync here is the tgz with the block-chain from my pool server :

https://www.dropbox.com/s/2w9lgxg3maipmss/Catcoin.tgz

I also have a problem on my pool: having some cats stuck on a pool for several days as "unconfirmed". That (multi)pool still works for other coins.
And the wallet (built from github 3 days ago) doesn't seem to be able to sync completely.

What is wrong with cat network? i see all pools on block 27,951   

and the right block is : 35299 on my pool 

I am wrong or others are wrong

Miners - what do you think?  How are the algo tweaks treating you?

DEV FLASH
As reported earlier, the current mandatory wallet upgrade is live.  Below you'll find links to the Windows wallet binary packages.

As expected, the block explorer at catcoin.biz is NOT updated.  Do not rely on this tool.  The blockchain explorer at catstat.info is being updated now.

The current block is displayed in the header of the chart at http://www.catstat.info/.

Exchanges:  Cryptsy, CoinEX.pw and CoinedUp were notified of the emergency code update.  Cryptsy responded immediately.  They stopped deposits and withdrawals - they'll re-open transactions as soon as they update.  We have not yet heard from either CoinEX or CoinedUP.  We recommend you do not use those sites until they've updated.

Wallet links in the original post will be updated as soon as possible.

The MAC wallet is not yet updated.

MS Windows Wallet packages are available in two flavors:

If you want to build a Windows catcoind.exe or wallet from source, the source is here:
https://github.com/CatcoinOfficial/CatcoinRelease

And build instructions are here:
http://www.catcoinwallets.com/win/catcoin_wallet_build_windows.pdf

Please note - there is a readme.txt file in the each Windows wallet package.  Because this update rolls the blockchain back to before the hack attempt, you will have to reindex your block chain, or you will have to delete your old files (make sure you keep your wallet.dat and catcoin.conf!).

To reindex:  click the start globe, type cmd.exe in the search window, and press return.  Change directory to the location of your windows-qt.exe program.  If on the desktop, type cd desktop then enter.  To reindex, type windows-qt.exe --reindex and let it run.  Once the reindex is complete and the wallet updates, close the wallet.  When you restart the wallet, it will alert you:  "Corrupted block database detected.  Do you want to rebuild the block database now?" Say yes and let it reindex again.  Once it's finished, your upgrade is complete.

Cryptsy and CoinEX have both been notified to recompile and return to service.

I'm compiling the last seed node now and will get the windows wallet published in about 90 minutes.

Version 0.9.1.1 is released for self-compile.

Windows and MAC wallets to follow tomorrow!

MANDITORY UPDATE!

You MUST at least reindex your wallet to get on the right fork!

Just a quick update.  The programmers have the divide by zero problem fixed.  It looks like we were hit with a time-warp attack and it looks like all the bad blocks were rejected.  This would have been a non-event if we didn't have the divide by zero glitch.

Since we have to fork, the guys are working on some adjustments to the PID as well.

More facts when we've got them.

DEV FLASH

I strongly do not recommend buying or selling CAT until this is cleared - we will very likely be rolling the block chain back.  Buying or selling may result in orphans and lost coins.

Well CoinexPW is on a different fork since long time ago. And they support is laughable at this moment, they don't answer.

 I just bought a bunch of catcoins veeeeeeeery cheap , I still  believe in this coin , so fellas if you are in the catcoin bandwagon. It is time to buy in this panic sell!!!

Cryptsy has halted all deposits and withdrawals.  We have an open ticket with CoinexPW as well.

We strongly recommend you keep your CATS where they are as we have a number of forks in the wild now.  Please do not lose your CATs!

DEV FLASH

We've asked all the miners and pools to do a temporary emergency stop mining/stop trading.

It looks like we were attacked a bit ago, possibly with a time-warp attempt.  Initial debug info suggests the attack was not successful.  Unfortunately it tripped a code bug that triggered a divide by zero condition and our diff is stuck at or near zero.

We are working on a code fix now and will certainly fix the divide by zero problem, but also hope to adjust the PID so we can get things moving better and stay out of the low-diff periods.

We will set a new check-point and will very likely roll the block count back to nullify the attack and insta-mine blocks that happened after the attack.

More/better news when we've got it.

come to www.mining-pool.co.uk

lets bump up the network hash rate

Changed Catcoin data on my p2pool fork and lauch a node.
All are welcome to try it.

I have to low power to make any difference.

time-wrap attack?

Hmm
Block every second and diff so low?

Why not try and have a discussion with doges devs, they are them selfs in discussion with litecoin community for merged mining wouldn't this would be beneficial to catcoin, I think this should be a good in it self
