Team Guncoin is releasing a mandatory security patch upgrade - GUN Core V1.5.1. This is required due to a recent Bitcoin Core Team announcement of a vulnerability that was discovered last week in 0.16.0. As a result, Bitcoin Core is now at 0.16.3 and that includes the patch to eliminate the risk of the vulnerability to be exploited.

If you are running 1.5 and have already synced past the block with the illegal TX then you will need to start 1.5.1 with reindex=1 in your conf file, remember to remove that line before the next time you start. We have had Cryptopia to put GUN in Maintenance mode UNTIL the majority of the blockchain is on the new code. We will also update the seed nodes and the GUNCOINPOOL.com mining pool as well. We will be updating website and OP here shortly.

All wallets have now been updated and are available on the website as well as from the GitHub link above. Please upgrade as soon as you can.

Ok, that is one ugly bug, and a quick response!!

Upgrade done..

Yes, it was and still is for all the Bitcoin Core based altcoins. We have completed and published all the updates - please pass the word to all. The Guncoinpool.com mining pools should be running the new code by Wednesday or Thursday. Once that is done and we see the blockchain results that we are expecting, we will have Cryptopia take us out of maintenance mode and do their update as well. Thanks for your support. We thank Bushstar and many others for VERY prompt action in getting this issue resolved quickly.
