For the ones wondering what Cate is currently trying to achieve in the short-to-mid term, in that order :
- Find a way to keep our pool up and running so that mining can be accessible for anyone. This really is our main concern.
- Release a whitepaper explaining all the inner workings of 0xCATE, and its consequences on the Transaction Market.
- Apply to more exchanges, keep spreading the word about our community
- Contact NGOs and charitable foundations (e.g. research Against Cancer, Doctors without borders, etc), and ask them to create an Ether Address so that we can actually make the Donation feature useful. Cate is also about donating for a better world.
- Keep building a community from that
- Release our first product (that would be a quite simple game), that would distribute all the earning to the aforemented NGOs and charitable foundations.
- More marketing
- Build the first DEX on Ethereum that would be free of any fees. It would also be free to use at that point, or at the very least, cheaper than any other DEX since you get refunded in Cates each time you interact with the contract.
- We'll see later for what's next
We also though about revamping our visual identity, as going full-on meme can actually hurt us in the mid-to-long term.
We first thought it would be a good idea, since memes can spread fast, but in the end, maybe we went too far.
We're on a short schedule !

Again some cats)))))))) and John Mc Affee here as well)))) Interesting but hope all the transactions will not be too slow and these cats will not influence on other processes ))))
Follow the links ! Join the Discord channel, we will gladly help you there !

It will help the Ethereum platform to scale up. Also, slow transaction is an Ethereum problem.
The beauty of this token is that, it's a token, not a coin. It's just something on top of Ethereum, yet it will make any kind of transfer, free.

very good looks.
How do I get started?
I will look for detail information.
thanks for sharing it.

Why Catether ?
Catether introduces a new mechanic: "Proof of Use". Short version: transfers fees are covered with newly created CATEs.
Long version : Each time you make a transfer, or use the "transferFrom" delegated transfer function, it will mint 1 CATE to the address from which the transaction comes from.
Since it always costs around the same gas price (but not the same GWei price), depending on the gas price of your transaction... It either costs, or gives you money.
In practice, one Cate will always be pegged to, or under the median gas price of the Ethereum network, multiplied by 42000 (that's the gas cost of sending CATEs).
The Ethereum miners are basically selling CATEs, now.

Also, you can use that feature to make micro-transactions at every transfer you make. A great way to create some savings without thinking about it, or,
donate to the Research against Cancer each time you buy a coffee... possibilities are endless.

One of my next project will be to create a game that takes advantage of that token, to make the first viable (cash-wise) game on the Ethereum platform.
A free-to-play game, not a " 'free'-to-play-if-you're-already-holding-10000-ETH-because-who-gives-a-f*ck-about-0.00005ETH-at-that-point-eh" game.
Free as in really free. (Take that, Cryptokitties)

No ICO.
"Don't fucking move" - the SEC Board
There will be no ICO whatsoever, just mining. You come, you mine it, you get tokens. Or, you make empty transactions to yourself, and buy your tokens to a 42000gas/Cate price.
Fun fact: anyone can buy tokens this way... transaction "Mining", may I say. Anyway, it's the first kind of mining experience that will never, ever, require you to have costly hardware.
Broadcast transactions to the Ethereum network, get your reward. You don't even need CATEs to start with, you can just send a transaction of 0 CATE, it works.
It's fucking weird, but really, it's harmless. When you think about this, it still costs gas to do so, so, there are no real "free" money, just a very funny way to distribute new tokens.
The more people use the contract, the more stable that transaction economy will be. At one point, it will really cover a significant portion of your transfer fees at any time.

Block rewards
We like Dogecoin. After all, between memes, we understand each other. But halving is kinda harsh for a mining community, so, it will be slightly better.
Let's take a look at the source code :
Let's take a look at the source code :
Code:
//There's no limit to the coin supply
//reward follows more or less the same emmission rate as Dogecoins'. 5 minutes per block / 105120 block in one year (roughly)
function getMiningReward() public constant returns (uint) {
bytes32 digest = solutionForChallenge[challengeNumber];
if(epochCount > 160000) return (50000 * 10**uint(decimals) ); // 14.4 M/day / ~ 1.0B Tokens in 20'000 blocks (coin supply @100'000th block ~ 150 Billions)
if(epochCount > 140000) return (75000 * 10**uint(decimals) ); // 21.6 M/day / ~ 1.5B Tokens in 20'000 blocks (coin supply @100'000th block ~ 149 Billions)
if(epochCount > 120000) return (125000 * 10**uint(decimals) ); // 36.0 M/day / ~ 2.5B Tokens in 20'000 blocks (coin supply @100'000th block ~ 146 Billions)
if(epochCount > 100000) return (250000 * 10**uint(decimals) ); // 72.0 M/day / ~ 5.0B Tokens in 20'000 blocks (coin supply @100'000th block ~ 141 Billions) (~ 1 year elapsed)
if(epochCount > 80000) return (500000 * 10**uint(decimals) ); // 144.0 M/day / ~10.0B Tokens in 20'000 blocks (coin supply @ 80'000th block ~ 131 Billions)
if(epochCount > 60000) return (1000000 * 10**uint(decimals) ); // 288.0 M/day / ~20.0B Tokens in 20'000 blocks (coin supply @ 60'000th block ~ 111 Billions)
if(epochCount > 40000) return ((uint256(keccak256(digest)) % 2500000) * 10**uint(decimals) ); // 360.0 M/day / ~25.0B Tokens in 20'000 blocks (coin supply @ 40'000th block ~ 86 Billions)
if(epochCount > 20000) return ((uint256(keccak256(digest)) % 3500000) * 10**uint(decimals) ); // 504.0 M/day / ~35.0B Tokens in 20'000 blocks (coin supply @ 20'000th block ~ 51 Billions)
return ((uint256(keccak256(digest)) % 5000000) * 10**uint(decimals) ); // 720.0 M/day / ~50.0B Tokens in 20'000 blocks
}

There is a pre-mine of 1 337 Million Cates.
As we don't do an ICO, but Catether Foundation needs funds to make its project work on the long-term, we need investments.
Running a mining pool costs Ethers and $, as there's need for servers and gas to make the Mint transactions. So, yeah, we will premine what would be
less than 1% of the total supply of the token in 1year.
We will use theses tokens to cover the expanses of running a pool for everyone to mine for free (solo-mining costs gas, on the Ethereum platform),
Make Grand Prizes, tournaments, bounties... Do things that any community would want to see. All the other Tokens have theses mechanics in place, why not us ?
We want people who use Cates to know this token won't be manipulated by shady investors that controls most of the coin's supply. Here, Mining rewards defines everything. We have a precise goal: make transactions free.
