I just keep hearing in the coming week...not sure if true. Must wait. Only option.

1/27 is what i heard
better save those coins guys!

Excellent points stuhlman and yes we are working to try and get new features into the relaunch (2 specifically that are unique to KittehCoin, as well as upgrading to 0.8.6), I don't want to get ahead of myself by announcing anything prematurely. Thanks for parking that nick, appreciate it . We definitely want to relaunch with new features but a big part of it as well is just having a solid information base for KittehCoin and places that you can use it and that will accept it as payment which are also a large part of the relaunch. Also please understand we haven't spent 2 weeks just building the KittehCoin codebase, actually its been the least focused on by the team at large. We've been spending this time building the community around it, games, services, and core information so it can even legitimately exist in the first place, the coin could be the most unique in the world but with the information available as it was at the first launch it would still have gone nowhere.

We will post the relaunch as an entirely new thread that is why I have let this one go as-is for the time being, we are also planning a status-update announcement post as a new thread as well.

Regarding the block reward settings- this is something we were actively discussing in the devteam chat on KittehCoin forums. We were discussing cutting the reward by 1/5th across the board with bonus blocks or something like you mentioned in order to increase scarcity. The coin total has already been cut once (100B to 50B) I don't know if cutting it again would be bad, I'm not opposed I just don't want people to think anything shady is going on as it's not we just want to make this coin successful even if that means slightly modifying the specs to do so (this is a relaunch after all, but all current coins will remain).

The problem raised with a block reward change is that it would require a hard fork of the codebase which then miners would have to switch to; not the worst thing in the world and definitely something better to do NOW than later but all things that we have been discussing. Would love to hear your thoughts on it (and the community at large). I know dumpers may be upset but I'm not really concerned about them; shouldn't have dumped! Look forward to your input

Thanks
Dan
