To avoid the possibility of losing coins, please refrain from making transactions with the 0.16.3 client until you've switched to the new binaries/source code pre-released as 0.1rc-beta: https://github.com/gjhiggins/gapcoin-core/releases/tag/v0.1rc-beta

Please follow Mr. Higgins' advice and update - there were 15K+ GAP effectively burnt in 6+ transactions:

5K

Crikey! Were these your transactions @PrimeObsession ?

I must again stress to everyone that the current Gapcoin Windows Release remains the original v0.9.2 and the current stable Linux Release is v0.9.2 or build v0.9.3-4 whilst development on the to be 'officially announced' v0.16.3 continues.

The new Gapcoin Core v0.16.3 software continues to be developed and tested.

The Gapcoin Project / Gapcoin Core github repository (and gapcoin.club) states/stated "Gapcoin Core 0.16.3 Work in progress"
- https://github.com/gapcoin-project/gapcoin-core

The official repository (to the best of my knowledge) did not and has not published any binaries for download and is in fact a fork of gjhiggins /
gapcoin-core repository (where most of his currently unassisted solo development work on Gapcoin Core 0.16.3 is openly committed).
- https://github.com/gjhiggins/gapcoin-core

Graham did openly state in the thread topic that: "Alpha release of an implementation of the 0.16.3 reference client for the Gapcoin network ...snip... testnet-only while we test the robustness and reliability of the implementation." See:
- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=822498.msg55543086#msg55543086

Also see this post:

I was not really aware that I had 'announced' anything as such, rather I posed some questions to the community with a possible upgrade schedule.

However, when an alpha Release Candidate is available for download, people often take it as read that they can safely 'upgrade', which is clearly not the case.

I did not add the windows alpha Release Candidate to https://gapcoin.club

The new core repository is made available as a link, in the hopes of attracting additional developers to assist Graham ...

"Linux Build - Gapcoin Core v0.16.3 - Work in progress - v0.16.3-rc-alpha"

...snip...

Please don't rush to 'upgrade' on mainnet, before any 'official' release announcements are made.

Graham is continuing to do sterling work in regards to development and I hope others will become more involved with helping as we progress.

Unfortunately, myself fully reviewing Graham's excellent progress has been somewhat delayed by a brief period of illness.

I will edit the gapcoin.club website with appropriate warnings ASAP and add an upgrade guide to follow in the future for clarification and prior to any future 'official' release announcement.
