Goldcoin Core v0.14.4 has been released which includes a very important security fix for a DoS vulnerability!

If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the installer (on Windows).

Download links: https://www.goldcoin.org/downloads.html

All users are advised to upgrade as soon as possible. Submit any issues you encounter here and one of the Goldcoin developers will assist you.

0.14.4 fails on startup with a dialog box saying "unable to start http server" or something similar.

reverting back to 0.14.3 works fine.
