I think something is going wrong as my wallet shows I am on block 20325 but latest transaction block on poolerino is 20335

How is poolerino on 20335 but coinium on 20323? Slow to update?

Has someone intentionally tried to fork the fork?  Huh

So teamcatcoin is maybe the only pool on the right block chain.
We have exactly what's written on the wallet and here : catchain.info/chain/Catcoin

Nobody ever spoke of a new retarget time, so it cannot be anything else than a bug of the new client.
Difficulty changed after 14 blocks instead of 36.
4 for 10mn target time ~= 28MH/s on the network. This is not possible.

I don't know how it's recalculated, but I believe it's always aiming for 10 minutes block time. Maybe it just needed another adjustment before it could get it right for the next change.

Diff retarget is supposed to happen after 36 blocks, or at block 20290+36 = 20326. It happened at block 20304, which is 14 blocks. Blocks were found every 5mn, if a retarget should have come sooner, it should have increase to 30, not go down all the way to 4.
Pray for it not to go down to 1 in 2 blocks (20318).

It happened at the next multiple of 36. That is, 564*36 blocks = 20304. It went down to 4 because it used the time from block 20268 to block 20304 as the basis for the diff calculation, and that was several days instead of the target 6 hours. The next one will go up.

I'm glad someone here knows there stuff. Phew. Was almost in a panic then.  Grin

Was too, thanks for the explanation envy2010, didn't think about the multiple.

doesn't explain why coinium is at a block greater than the official blockchain.

Doesn't the blockchain show the last mined block, and the pool show the block it's currently mining?

Conium is on 20322

Ok so multiple pool must be on a different block chain. There's the explanation of the diff to 4 ...

No, 4 is right, but we're on block 20322. I think the pool forgot to update the diff calculation or something, conium still shows;

It's not updated the change on the front end.

When somebody donates at least 0.01 CAT and I see everything works correctly I'll make a thread about my faucet - Catcoin Purrer

I sent you 0.1 CAT, hope that was ok.

Edited: Oh I can see it shows 0.1 CAT remaining on the websites front page. Guess it did work then.

Thanks, that will be enough to give a taste of the coin to some new people. Thread created.
