Unfortunately it's not easy for everyone to keep voting every 10 minutes..  I work 50+ hour weeks, with another 10 hours a week lost in travel time.  My offer about trading gun for votes is because of what I can offer, a few coins that my miner churns out without me paying a lot of attention to it.


And, once again, I'll throw out the idea of changing mining to x11 or something like that.  Not for the reason I brought it up before though, and not for pushing the anon deal..  All the new hot coins are coming out with stuff besides scrypt..  A pop in attention by making the change, can't hurt, as there's really no other gun news lately.  

Also, IMO staying with scrypt at this point has a two-fold negative right now..  Miners that aren't asic are avoiding anything scrypt as they can't compete against asics, and asic miners aren't mining gun because there's no forward progress to make it seem profitable.

Trust me, I've got a couple megahash worth of asic now that won't work anymore if a switch is made, this isn't a suggestion made in my own interest for ease of mining.  It's shooting myself in the foot for forward momentum of the coin.


A couple other thoughts:
-if one block per hour had a random 2x to 10x payout, that would bring in some gambler miners
-I'd put guncoin stickers on my truck and gun/ammo cases if I could buy them, and wear a guncoin t-shirt, as long as the proceeds go to advertisement




+1  Grin thoughts and ideas, that's what I'm talking about. more we have better we decide


Thanks Orzep for the compliments, but I/we are not trying to be heroes. But thank you for your kind words. We are not trying to be complainers or whiners either. This is something we are passionate about and had hoped that there would be a rallying cry for this coin in the crypto world. But that has not happened.

On the voting aspect. I totally understand that many are at work several hours a day and cannot vote manually every ten minutes or every hour. BUT if EVERY person voted when they could or even purchased a few here and there would add up. There needs to a a "RALLY AROUND THE FLAGPOLE" for the voting booths of this coin or we will be stagnated in the smaller markets forever.

Yes we are recently retired and have only been into cryptos for about a year and a half. When we first became acquainted with the currency there were only 34 cryptos on Cryptocurrency Market Cap. BIG changes since then. So although we are not new to this we are not really novices either. Crypto currency trading is a learning process and we have won some and lost quite a few, BUT when we find a coin we feel we can trust we throw our all into it. Guncoin is one of those coins and we intend to do everything in our power to help it succeed. Hhhmmmm maybe sometime we may be heroes, but until then we need to get a rally together for Guncoin.

I suggested to the devs that there be a "SUGGESTION BOX" so to speak for people to give ideas on how better to promote this. Being from an advertising market career ourselves we know the value of it. But what we don't know is the crypto world and how it does its marketing. On the outside we would have banner campaigns and flyers and ads. What do you use in this arena? That's an unknown for us.

To be brutally honest there are those in the US that want to kill the Constitution. The 2nd Amend is the right of the people that is most in danger. Even the United Nations is taking a wack at that one for everyone in the world. Just google it. The UN is passing gun laws for the world and the US is going along with it.  Many people do not understand the laws that are being passed, not to say that people are idiots but I digress.  You have to keep in mind that criminals don't follow the law. Gunfree zones are target practice for the bad guys not the good guys. There are those out there who do not like guns for any reason and we found that out just trying to get others to promote the coin.

Maybe because so many people do not understand crypto currencies is why we cannot get people like Sarah Palin, or Ted Nugent or the NRA to respond to requests for help. With this coin coming out of a territory that is infamous with hunting and sportsmanship it is perplexing as to why all the people in Alaska aren't purchasing the coin and blasting it across the airways.

Well, anyway, I/we intend to keep up the fight and try any avenue we can to get this growing stronger....hope you intend to help and get the battle cry out there....Thanks again.
