is cryptsy on the correct fork or not?
Deposit doesnt seem to arrive.

It's not the price, stupid.


Thanks for trolling the troll. Here's your ><((((*>.

Why are you still here, then, geokilla?  You've dumped a lot on CAT from the beginning - I frankly don't recall you EVER liking CAT.

As for the Coinium notice - this is not new!  It's in my DEV notes from yesterday, it's in my reply to kalus from yesterday, and it's in my update post from today - somehow you're able to read and post the problem, but you missed FOUR messages that report that the problem was fixed YESTERDAY in the dev IRC channel. LOL

TL:DR  We knew about the problem.  We told you about the problem.  We fixed the problem.  We told you it was fixed three times.

Seriously man, I know this thread's moving fast, but if you'll take a minute or three and read before posting you might like what you find.

Everyone -

What do you like about the new wallet?

What do you not like about the new wallet?

If you could add a feature or capability into the wallet, what would it be?

Thanks!

I was around when I still believed in CAT. You can even check my activity on Coinium from back then. But right now I have no faith for this coin especially with all this come and go mining, pushing difficulty up and then miners ditching because it's horribly designed and unprofitable. When the network and pool hash rates fluctuate by 300m Gh/s (or whatever the Coinium graphs are presenting), that's a problem. This announcement from Coinium certainly doesn't help either:


By the way, no one trades CAT. At least not on CoinedUp. Can you back up with statistics saying people are still trading CAT?

I guess you weren't around two weeks ago when we really DID stick at 120 diffs for days with very low supporting hash. 

We're moving - we're no longer stuck.  That's step one.  Long-term stability in any environment is step two.  We did step one.  Now we're working on 2.

As for the switching pools - neither hashcows nor multipool hop to CAT.  Don't know yet about Middlecoin.  Can't speak to any others as I don't know who they are.

Yes, the mining is too fast during the low-diff times - but we've got mining, we've got transactions that clear, we can easily send and receive money, we've got block averages slightly below our 10 minute target, and we've got more average hash rate than we've had since CAT launched.  We have a usable, tradeable, CAT today, and we'll soon have a long-term stable CAT as well.

mp doesnt mine cat, I guess some do.  That effect is possible with 'hopping' miners

CAT goes down, multipool switches to CAT. CAT goes up, multipool leaves and cat dies because of the insanely high difficulty which takes forever to break.

Spread your FUD somewhere else, geokilla.  Anyone looking here, the network, and the exchanges can quickly tell you're not connected with reality.

Dead.

Is catcoin dead? Will it up again? What is going on with it?

Let me connect a few dots here to make it easier for the folks that don't want to wade thru the past day's traffic.
In the capture from IRC yesterday, you can see part of a multi-hour work session that took place between raistlinthewiz (from Coinium), vekexasia (from ultimatecoinpool), and Blaksmith (from geekhash).  They were tracking down and solving a problem that kept pools  - including teamcatcoin - from synchronizing during our very fast periods.  This is the work that resulted in better linking the major pools to prevent forks.

If you have any concerns about Blaksmith, check for his name in the original post in this thread.  He runs a successful pool in the SHA-256 world and has just released his first scrypt addition - for CAT.  He's also running one of the independent testnets, has written a brand new control system code and is testing it with his own hash power.

In yesterday's message from Maverick, he confirmed the existence of etblvu1's simulator project and proposed using it to confirm the suitability of different code options.  Since that time, et has released his code and it's available as a Windows binary on his site.  I downloaded it this morning and have been using it.  I also spent some quality time talking with et about what's happening behind the scenes.  The code starts with an active network with a difficulty of 60.  He's simulated active mining and a properly random block solving rate.  He's basically built a testnet in a box that we can mess with.  Want to see what happens when we start at 60 diff and all the miners move to Mars?  Press the decrease button.  Want to simulate moving from a network in equilibrium to a 1000 times increase in network hashrate?  Press 10x three times.  Etblvu1 is coding other options as well - as we get inputs from you and/or come up with other options, we're passing those requests to him for coding.

His package announcement is here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4969498

His download is here:
www.catcoin-algo.org

I've just sent him 100 CAT to support the tool.

Since I'm the Owner of Geekhash, and I'm also on the dev team, and one of the three people in #catcoin-dev channel that have been in on this sync issue, then YES, Geekhash is a trusted node.  Just because everyone is afraid to try a new pool, and because a node doesn't have any hash, it doesn't mean that they are not trusted.  

Do supernodes have people hashing on them? NO.  So, if your reasoning about no to little hash rate = not to be trusted, then that means that any supernode (not just for catcoin) shouldn't be trusted?

Here is the corrected list (not in any order of preference):

EDIT: And for the record, I'm using my hashing on testing new code, so we can have a stable coin, instead of trying to be greedy and not give 2 shits about fixing the coin.

Blak

Yes... ultimatecoinpool.org very trusted node with unregistered domain name...
May be ultimatecoinpool.com? ultimatecoinpool.com with Pool HR 0 KH/s and geekhash.org with Pool HR 0.013 MH/s two trusted nodes to check?... lol...

As we talked about yesterday, and as I reported in yesterday's dev notes, the pools identified and fixed a network connection deficiency.  They are synchronized.  The stand-alone catcoin.biz/charts and chain viewer are NOT.

Coinium, geekhash, teamcatcoin, ultimatecoinpool are the trusted nodes to check if anyone thinks they are out of sync with the network.

Make sure you have at least these nodes in your catcoin.conf:


edit..6 Feb...fixed ultimatecoinpool address.  I copied these from my own catcoin.conf - had to fix mine as well.  Thanks Blaksmith!

We are aware that the chain explorer may be on the wrong fork, I've had one of the guys message dogeles to see if he can verify his blockchain for the daemon.

Edit: I am not super crazy about you accusation that the devs would do such a thing, we wouldn't. We're mining the same chain you guys are, because any other chain is useless.

If block explorer in fork, then devs anytime can start solo mining with minimal dif, and after say that all pools and block explorer was on fork... Block explorer must be real mining indicators. And block explorer shows correct all mining block after update until some time, while some pool don't start fork... if devs will say what block explorer on fork then CAT can be buried...

http://catchain.info/chain/Catcoin?count=20   and my wallets are the same.
Coinium is wrong

I think block explorer is still on fork.

Edit: Or maybe I'm wrong. But my updated client has less blocks than the explorer.

weather coinium has a wrong frontend or they are wrong.
They dont find a block with low diff - seems to be they are wrong.
As time goes on i no longer love this CAT
What´s goning wrong here

I stop mining now - maybe forever

Edit: the last two days i were mining there withoun probs. I can not check each time i switch my miner
if pool is doing his work. I can´t understand this. And still a lot of miner there :-(((
