I use maxconnections=5

and

addnode=107.170.40.107 - 45643

addnode=62.210.254.171 - 45643

addnode=146.0.32.101 - 45643

addnode=98.115.147.74 - 45224

addnode=108.61.10.90 - 45224



if I add connections with 45224 my wallet switch to new blockchain, but I lost many coins.

Therefore I will support old 45643 chain.

In my opinion 45224 - wrong chain.



You will have to talk to Hozer on your lost coins then. As he is "A single entity" that is causing that fork in the chain, against "A community of many" on the official chain.



Good luck getting your coins to work with his chain.

To be very accurate: the chain 'vampirus' is mining isn't a 'fork' from Catcoin - it's a completely separate blockchain with completely different parameters than CATcoin. It is a completely separate coin that is using our graphics, port, and name. It is not CAT, it is run by a single entity that has proven himself to be a thief, and is NOT in any way CAT. Anyone mining there is not generating CAT - they're generating Hozer's 'copycat' coin. Good luck indeed.To be very accurate: the chain 'vampirus' is mining isn't a 'fork' from Catcoin - it's a completely separate blockchain with completely different parameters than CATcoin.

Someone wants to fork the coin. He's welcome to, but it doesn't have the support of the community.



This is the worst kind of FUD.



Hit the link for context. News flash: Hozer's been trying to 'hoze' the chain since just after launch. What we're seeing today is just the latest attempt.



CAT is strong, our community is strong, and unlike too many coins that started well after we did and died, we are still alive and well.

If you've been mining there, you have not been mining CAT. We advise that you stop mining there until further notice.



We are working with the folks at SmarterHash to bring them into the community. When they're on-track, we'll add them to the pool lists.

edit... Jeff from 'smarterhash' refuses to connect to the main network and acknowledges that his pool has been mining their own fork. Instead of fixing the problem, he's decided to shut-down his CAT mining node. SmarterHash will not be included in our pool list.



/edit We were made aware this morning that the pools at SmarterHash have been mining CAT for at least three weeks and have not been on the coin's blockchain.

We've never been de-listed - the two other exchanges we've been on from the start closed their doors and/or were hacked into bankruptcy.



If you prefer another exchange, please link it as well!

9.2.0 info



Network's hash rate - it's average for some previous period of time.



When You remove min block time in version 9.2.0 - difficulty start changed dramatically,

and we may wait block 46331 several months.

Yes - we knew that the difficulty would jump around. We've been here before and it's ok. Block generation will be slower than normal until we hit the block, but CAT's block generation has been off since launch. The minimum block time was a kludge to help after a flaw in the algo was identified, and was only necessary when the network hash rate is very low. The new code is a result of 18 months of work and doesn't need any cheats.



Yes, it can take more time than planned to get to 46331 but it doesn't have to. It depends on us miners. All of my 33MH/s are crunching CAT, and I've just bought another 15 MH/s that'll be on-line in a couple of days. The only way we're going to get to a stable CAT is to mine to the fork. Yes - there are a number of ways to calculate a hash rate - but it is still an estimate based on the previous block difficulty and the time it took to solve that block. Because there is no way to know who is mining the network, and because of the random nature of block generation, this is only a very crude estimate.Yes - we knew that the difficulty would jump around.

Last edit: July 23, 2015, 02:49:10 AM by SlimePuppy #54 Ok everyone - I did some wallet experiments today.



I backed-up my personal Windows wallet.dat and did sets of before/after tests with 9.1.1 and 9.2.0 wallets, with and without catcoin.conf and addnodes. Keep in mind that the 9.1.1 wallet does have the 30 second minimum block time code while the 9.2.0 wallet does not (even before the fork block).



A brand new 9.1.1 wallet with NO catcoin.conf, no addnodes, and no peer.dat will not automatically join the CAT network. It will take more than 30 minutes to sync on the copycat chain.

A brand new 9.1.1 wallet with a catcoin.conf and addnodes will not automatically join the CAT network. It will take more than 30 minutes to sync on the copycat chain.

A brand new 9.1.1 wallet with an existing peer file will join the CAT network and will sync within seconds.



A brand new 9.2.0 wallet with NO catcoin.conf, no addnodes, and no peer.dat WILL automatically join the CAT network and will fully sync in minutes.

A brand new 9.2.0 wallet with a catcoin.conf will also automatically join the CAT network and will fully sync in minutes.





Updating to V9.2.0 is a mandatory upgrade , CATs - it takes us to a fully-inclusive network that generates regular 8-12 minute blocks. For the first time since launch in Dec 2013 we will have regular blocks regardless of the network hash rate after our fork at block 46331.

My 9.1.1 wallet was online about 2 month and I mine CAT on my own server.

3 day ago I found, that we have 2 CAT chain.

You change code that affect on blockchain before block 46331, that was advertised as hardfork.

First time 9.1.1 and 9.2.0 version accept all blocks. First block, that was found before 30 sec gap

was accepted in 9.2.0 version and rejected in 9.1.1 wallet. CAT split into 2 different chains.

If Cryptsy accept version 9.2.0 I lost 7600 CAT mined in official 9.1.1 version and before advertised hardfork block. LIVECOIN.net SCIFI ♦ KED ♦ GPL ♦ CAPS

Well, the "30 second minimum" has been a BIG issue since we put it up, just to fix the other cludge. It probably should have been kept in until the actual fork block, but I will admit, there was a slight oversight in the code, and it was removed before the hard fork block coming up. That oversight HAS caused this last fork. But again, with it removed, we are NOT limited to being denied legit blocks, just because they are "before 30 seconds". Or as Hozer's wants, "3 MINUTES".



I do take FULL responsibility for approving the code to completely remove the 30 second minimum code for 0.9.2.0. So, again, we leave it up to the community ... do you want to be rejected "VALID" blocks because they are not at least 3 minutes past the last block, or would you like to be credited the legitimate block you have earned, even if it is way less than the 3 MINUTES after the last block was found that Hozer's coin wants to enforce.

Totally impossible to mine 152 blocks within the last 24 - 48 hour period of time, BY YOURSELF, unless you have 10GH worth of Scrypt to push towards it. The fork did not happen until after 07-20-2015.
