I got the two IP from the initial posting in this thread in my catcoin.conf. I don't get the entries you get, just something like:

2016-03-27 10:38:14 trying connection 96.125.240.228:9933 lastseen=6550.5hrs
2016-03-27 10:38:19 connection timeout

which I assume is ok. With just 7 connections it is probably trying to find more.

But I am now mining at least 6 times the expected time to find a block hash without any result. It is probably more likely that here is something wrong than it is just bad luck.
