that new cat diff is stupid. like big waves and when diff is high no one mines it.

You can blame the switchpools and multipools. Right now, difficulty is at 2.. Set to go back up to 200 within the next hour. What a joke. CAT deserves to die. Switchpools need to die too.

Please GTFO, Your scheme is too cheap and obvious, you just want to pump and dump as some did before you.

I'm sure that most people around here have noticed this, but just for the sake of those who don't understand, if this guy didn't have interesset in this coin and want to make easy and fast money out of it, then he woudn't be bothering to spam every single page of this thread after the fork.

As for the diff, I've been monitoring it this couple of days, and been switching pools and trying to understand what's the matter, I've done some simulations under matlab, I understand more or less, the jerky reaction of the network despite the new parameters, so here is my analysis :

1-Profitibility pools don't switch to the most profitable coin instantly, they keep mining coin, as long as it has a decent profitibality, and I think this allows this pools to mine for a certain amount of time

2-Despite the 1 Block diff change, the value that wasn't taken in consideration is the 10min target time, (this value cannot be changed is a core value of the coin) but I think the importance of this, is that unlike other coins with very quick block target time, our value gives the time to huge brandwidt to join in and keep mining, while the 12% limite was supposed to limite the inflantion both ways, the delayed reaction of profitability pool, cause them to join once the diff is really low and leave once it is considerably high and leaving the coin with block time in hours.

So tl,dr the new fork parameters doesn't work as perfectly because profitabilty pools don't just switch in the exact instant the coin becomes the most profitible and leave the instant it is the most profitable but keep mining for a while. This doesn't mean the fork failled, it is not the case, the situation is better than what it was a few days ago when were stuck with high diff for a long periode of time, it's just that it doesn't work perfectly and nothing is perfect.

What I suggest, is too keep the dev work on going and lets think about solutions to keep the coin healthy, I'm still thinking gravity well is a good solution, but we should study before hand if it possible to implement it, and how it can interact with our long block target time
