I think someone is trying to kill cat coin

Network hash rate @ 4.4 GH/s

Difficulty is going to reach about 800

Then they'll jump ship and leave the coin stock on the same block for days

What can be done if this happens?

Yes it's obvious someone is attacking it.

Devs need to move on this new difficulty algorithm fast.....

I am in a waiting period for the other to Algo's to be coded into a catcoind, and be made available so I can download it and compile it on the testnet, so we can run it through the same test as was run with the PID routine.
I was just reminded that we have until SATURDAY March 15th to have those in so we can have a few days to test. I WANT to give each of the other algos a proper test before we decide which one will be best for the coin.

After the algo is selected, then we will have to select a block number to fork on. With these dips, it may be a little tricky to pick a good one that is not super sky high. Hopefully we can pick one that is just on the down swing, so it won't be too out of control when it kicks in.

I believe Scrypt with a pinch of KGW will do the trick the difficulty won't affect the coin mining process or miners once it's been forked, difficulty will reset to the lowest.
Do let me know if you need a hand with anything.

All the very best and much Success!
