One thing I wasn't too happy about tonight was getting an email from http://www.catcoinforum.com/ to my registered email account urging me to switch to poolerino. I'm not sure what affiliation the forum owner has with that pool, but considering they were on the wrong fork, it probably didn't help matters.

Anyway. Bed time. Ciao.

Today's fail might have happened because Catcoinforum sent that email -- it definitely played its role in causing Poolerino to have >=51% network hash. Why is the forum choosing only one pool anyway? Did they pay him?

I don't know, but I'm not happy with the way the owner seems to "speak" for the community on more than one occasion in this thread. It's fantastic he's got a forum for Catcoin, and much respect to him for maintaining it and running it, but this is more or less an ad-hoc democracy. There's no hierarchy.

He announced in this thread when we were debating the fork a thread on his forum on whether or not the coin should fork. As far as I'm concerned this thread is the official thread, and any decisions about Catcoin's development should be made here. It's bad enough as it is in here sometimes when there's a panic on. We need coordination. Not discord. If he can help coordinate efforts, that would be great, but there can't be several people making rogue decisions that could cause even more confusion. It gets messy and it harms Catcoin.

Anyway, I really must go now. See ya.

He also asks for donations in almost every post. I'm getting more and more uncertain whether he should have the responsibility for managing (what should be) a great Catcoin community.

Go sleep, good night!

I asked him about the poolerino plug and he said he is advertising them because they were the first to lower the confirmations.

if he really minded the community a bit and checked all the available pools, he would have seen that we were running cat.coinium.org with 30 confirmations during dark-times

Advertising a single pool through emails & forum and making it sticky as the official pool was really a bad idea for a coin that was already going to re-fork as a fix. A bad idea in every terms...
