Here's a new faucet:

Maybe someone can design a nice template for it?

Anyone got any chart link?

Yeah, ride like a hell

Wow, seems like because of recent good news we are going up again!

I think there isn't any retarget algo. which can fight... .the big waffle..
the commit i sent to git is suppose to at least slow down the diff jump - right now its jumping from difficulty 1, 2, up to 20 - in one step?
so this commit suppose to raise difficulty in smaller steps.

I didn't test it yet. i can do it in testnet it will take some time (i will try this weekend).

I think it is urgent to fix retarget issues
and then we can add new stuff.

about block reward, maybe we can make it fixed at 25k until block 400k, or at least 300k ?
might give nice amount of coins to miners until 250MH/s asics are shipped (if not shipped already?)

I lol'd

Ok so I had some time to go back through the posts I missed a bit more and lemme catchup (I STILL need to catchup on kittehcoin email i am  very sorry and I haven't been on reddit or IRC as much I should be but I'm trying my best). I'm also doing that magic trick where i've "abandoned" the coin yet I'm still here responding to all these posts and questions. Pretty neat eh? 

So, first off- I saw shai_ added KGW updates to Kittehcoin! I fully encourage this! Other people should commit additional code too. Shai_ has been a Kittehcoin contributor for a long time and has authority to approve pull requests as well as make his own updates to the official Kittehcoin code. He is a good guy- just got a bit emotional about how things were going with Kittehcoin a few posts back I see and I understand where he's coming from, he has been working on Kittehcoin for a while just like lots of the dev team who relaunched kitteh. And because of that I won't say anything about his comments except I have not abandoned kitteh just scaled back my time commitment and hey- relax  .

Next- I replied to TheMightyX just now and he seems like he may have some solid plans to move Kittehcoin forward with the other people who have stepped up. I don't want to say anything preemptively I'll let him announce the news when he's ready.



This seems to be catching on lately and I would encourage investigating this.

Also as shai_ mentioned a few posts back we will need to decide on a new fork height. There are two ways we can do this (still playing manager here until things are switched over):

1. Review the KGW fix and fork ASAP fixing the diff issues plaguing the network, there aren't a ton of pools so it might be painless (but that almost ensures it will be a pain cause that is how software works)
2. Wait til I have had time to implement the other changes mentioned in my update and fork at that height in a month or so (tops)

1 is best for the network. 2 is less risky. Of course I have not had a chance to test the KGW updates made by shai_... what concerns me is part of the reason KGW is ineffective with Kittehcoin today is because the network hashrate is so low... so when it varies wildly KGW can't cope. @Shai_ - how thoroughly were you able to test you KGW updates?

If the KGW updates need addtional tweaking we may want to look into DigiShield as others have mentioned. I would also be willing to bring over some of the KGW vars from Syscoin which uses very "tight" KGW vars to respond to network spikes very quickly- that was my original plan of action until people started talking about switching to DigiShield (which may have network benefits as well as marketing benefits).

In any case I'm here to help and I'm looking happy to see people stepping up to recruit and move this effort forward! I am here to support them with cut code as well with whatever time I can contribute!
