My wallet is stuck.. I'm connected to the network but I'm still stuck at 21908. I have entered the nodes in my config file as well.. I don't know why it's stuck. I've seen several great oppurrrrr tuna ties to mine cat coin very profitable but whats the point if I can't send to my wallet or cryptsy or coinex lol. How do I fix this? I love cats! And I had loved the catcoin as well but being out of sync sucks ass! O ya I also have the newest wallet as well.
hjr91 - let's get you moving again.

You said you have the latest wallet - double check the version - help/about catcoin - make sure it's 0.8.9.0.  If it's not 0.8.9.0, you'll find links in the first post of this thread.

Then - make a copy of you wallet.dat file and catcoin.conf files

Then - if you're a windows user, please follow along in the readme.txt file in the package to uninstall your previous wallet.  Delete your %AppData%\Roaming\Catcoin folder.

Run the new catcoin wallet - it will create a new file system in %AppData%\Roaming\catcoin  Stop the wallet.

Move your wallet.dat and catcoin.conf back into %AppData%\Roaming\catcoin\

Edit your catcoin.conf and make sure it looks like this - especially the addnode lines:

Code:
rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=userpassword
server=1
daemon=1
testnet=0
listen=1
addnode=cat.geekhash.org
addnode=ultimatecoinpool.com
addnode=eu.coinium.org
addnode=us.coinium.org
addnode=teamcatcoin.com
rpcport=7000
rpcallowip=192.168.*.*

Restart the wallet and let it retrieve the block chain.

The exchanges are a different problem outside either you or our control.  Some are on the correct block chain and some appear to be on an old fork.  We confirmed that CATs are moving into and out of Coinex as of about 30 minutes ago.  Cryptsy appears stuck inbound and outbound - we have opened another trouble ticket with them and asked them to add the node addresses and reset their block chain.  We don't yet have info from CoinedUp.

Keep mining - just make sure you send the coins directly to your wallet and not to an exchange.  Exchanges don't want you sending money directly to them, and you really don't want your money sitting on an exchange if you can help it.

Wow it worked!!! Thank you so much Andy!!! I had read to do that on other forum but I thought it wouldn't work because I did have 0.8.9 but it did!
