Awesome work lonestar106!!! I've been mining all day and have many meows tucked away into the wallet. I'm looking forward to your further work on Kittehcoin.

Thanks for the words of encouragement, Bradlu - I started this all out after laughing my ass off at Doge with a friend at, ahem, 4:20 recently, and the it hit me like a ton of bricks:

The Internet loves cats

The Internet loves bitcoin & altcoin

Therefore, cats + alcoin is sure to = at least some good lulz

We all need some right now after the whole China drama.

Plus, it somehow feels more free to experiment with innovative features on a coin that cannot be taken too seriously after you look at the logo. I't be terrified to change a thing on a serious, stodgy altcoin, but heck, why not play here? I've been thinking about adding a 'jackpot block feature' - you have a 1 in 1000 chance, when you find a block, that your reward will be multiplied by 10x. Then after block 200000, the chance is 1 in 2000, but your reward is multiplied by 20x (or something like that).

Any feedback on this idea? It would sure keep me mining until I scored a jackpot block

I like the jackpot type incentive. But, I think it really works best when solo mining. Otherwise the jackpot gets diluted. I tried several times solo mining with the wallet and haven't yet been able to connect. Any suggestions?

Yes!

Try adding:

addnode=173.17.93.143
addnode=198.199.117.221
addnode=84.110.73.28
addnode=83.21.239.28

to your ~/.kittehcoin/kittehcoin.conf file

or open your console window in kittehcoin-qt and type:

addnode 173.17.93.143
addnode 198.199.117.221
addnode 84.110.73.28
addnode 83.21.239.28

Let me know if this works for you.
