KittehCoin was originally launched on Christmas Eve Day, December 24, 2013. It was a GREAT coin, but it needed some work. The rewards system was broken. It was listed on an exchange a little prematurely, before the community was really ready for it. The coin's creator, Lonestar108, came into some issues that did not allow him to continue to work on the coin publicly.
The community LOVED this coin, and we felt it needed help. Danosphere and ELEVEN OTHERS stepped up to the plate in an unprecedented effort to take over and improve a coin. We got straight to work. It has been a long month and a half, but we're finally ready!
