I think its kind of crappy that the author was doing us a favor by setting up a pool first only to get undercut by someone else. Especially when the author isn't pre-mining. Then again I'm guessing his pool will start first so we will see.

Well, 4% is not a favor. It's gouging. Had he gone with 1-2% I would support his pool in principle. But 4% is almost unheard of. Also, a diversity of pools is useful when some will inevitably go down.

I agree with this if it was at 2% I would donate 1% just to help out...but forcing 4% is out of my comfort zone. I would rather donate to the op via address than mine on that pool.

Then if that is what you want to do, then do it. Just naggin about the pool fee is crazy, don't want a fee, then solo mine. It just blows me away how some act when talking about the pools. Those people are doing you a service, and a small fee is nothing compared to compiling, running, maintaining, and paying the bills for those servers. I have no problem with 4% to 5% at all.

OP should make a donation adress, so he can get some funds to promote the coin, also big miners should help with promotion Smiley
That will probably be funded by the official pool (https://www.catcoinpool.org/) which has 4% fee ...

Speaking about this, can we get the pool parameters (protocol/url/port) so that we could get our miner launch scripts ready ?

All of the changes on github are labelled as "Not ready to mine yet" - I think everyone is mining the wrong blockchain.

Agreed, I'm just going to stick with the authors pool since he was nice enough to add it and not premine. But he should release a wallet soon if he actually wants people to mine it. It's getting close to the deadline he set and haven't heard anything from him

I believe he has said that the wallet itself won't be available until the official 23:00 UTC launch. I think people need to calm down and just be patient. Unless he delays again, which, would be kinda hilarious and sad at the same time.

lol that would be hilarious

I'm not quite sure I'd call this gouging. 3-4% is fairly standard with bigger pools these days. Plus, we still don't know if he might be using that extra fee for giveaways and bounties.

Welcome! Currently the pool is mining Phoenixcoins until Catcoins lunches tonight ! 11pm UTC .. Join us on chat! (IRC) - #catpool @ irc.freenode.net

Confused, does it mean. The "switch" happens on the fly, so everybody who already pointed his mining hardware to it, will automatically start mining catcoins?

This isn't possible unless the wallet is released before the official 23:00 UTC start time. This pool will still need to change things up in that regard, I doubt it will be seemless. Depends on he has it setup though.

There are currently three pools.

Official kr105 Pool - https://www.catcoinpool.org/
AlexUK Pool - http://www.catpool.co
Mikellev Pool - http://cat.poolerino.com/

4% fee on kr105's pool (this is nuts). AlexUK 1%, Mikellev 0%.

So I guess this

With 3 pools fighting for blocks at diff 0.00024414, this will be the mother of all orphans  Grin

So don't get mad at your pool when you don't get as many coins as you expected...

will not be a problem.



Mikellev is still in maintenance.

There will be blood. Pools overloaded within few minutes, down, coins loss, no wallet, cry, scream. I'm too much of a sweetheart to watch this, too hardcore for me.
