I'll sell you my GUN for half a dollar each. Then you can go ahead and sell it for a dollar in 6 weeks. Anyone? hehe.
A gun for half a dollar? I'll take it
edit:
even a broken one...
Hi fellas, long-time no see. I see lots of changes in here;
I liked the old dev-team, it gained my trust and I hope this new one will do it too.
I'm a kind of romantic guy, so I'll do the first step LOL
So I invite the new-dev-team to write its gun address as signature (or post it); I'll make a little donation of 100k guns.

Is the windows wallet download broken on their website? I keep getting errors when I try to extract it.
works fine for a friend of mine
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

thoughts and ideas, that's what I'm talking about. more we have better we decideYes I agree, but to accomplish that we should "do" something. At least thinking (it never killed anyone )
I report the link of an interesting article posted on cryptocoinnews:
http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/news/charlie-lee-litecoins-five-steps-creating-successful-altcoin/2014/07/19
I think guncoin has everything but a miner-attractive-thing.
Watching the going of others coins I'm starting to think: if you want to reach all the guns-enthusiasts you have to start to reach miners.
Apparently it's the way things works...first of all there is the miner, then everything else.
Miners make the coin live...and its worth becomes higher...and the value attracts people and they start to invest in it.
The problem, I think, it's that when you talk about guncoin to someone and you tell him its "actual value" you don't light interest.
When I speak about bitcoin and say "One bitcoin now is at 620 dollars" I can see the "flash" in other's eyes.
My personal opinion is not to keep going to work harder and harder like Ganrom. He's a fucking hero, no doubt about that. But I prefer a Ganrom at peace with his mind then having an angry hero who may will leave our community. He's a column and I'd prefer not to lose him. I'm not saying we shouldn't keep voting and other things (and Ganrom is right when he writes we...we should vote a little at least xD I work like everyone else but still in those few days I tried to help him...obviously not enough lol);
my personal opinion is a) attract miners or b) hard pushing and reaching "True Gun People" (VIP, associations, facebook fans, etc.)
With option "b" I mean that if, somehow, we can have a really good marketing campaign, we can ignore the miners-attractive-factor.
Without option "b" I think we need the miners-attractive-factor...or at least something else "tech-ish" (like the coin you can use to pay instead of bitcoin...I don't remember the name but the idea was cool)
Cryptoworld is made of "Crypto"...it's tech...algo...miners...electronic stuff LOL
@Ganrom
I think...that crazy people of the free-masonry-Gcoin didn't vote.
I think complaining with askcoin is not something we should count on...I'm just trying to imagine the situation...I think that someone on Gcoin(the slot-machine coin) wrote to Askcoin to add their coin to voting-list. They did it but they did a stupid research (exactly like I did xD) and they put the wrong link...but we all know that the free-masonry-Gcoin wasn't launched yet...I think no mason voted just because I don't think there was any them who knew about that vote (how could they possibly imagine that their coin was listed even if it wasn't launched yet?).
Now...maybe I'm wrong...but I think it would be really really strange even if ONE vote was from free-masonry-GCoin...but still...maybe I'm wrong and there are lots of crazy people out there who spend their time looking for voting-events even when their own devs don't know (and free-masonry coin's Dev doesn't know a lot of things...he doesn't know the algo yet! buhuhauhahhaha xD xD xD)
Anyway, thanks for the huge support Gan!

Sorry for my ignorance...but this GCoin...is not launched yet; its algo is "top secret" and its dev's writing sounds really strange to me xD I think that's funny (I'd say I smell a little scam there...but I'm nobody so...maybe I'm just wrong!...anyway LOL for GCoin! it's a really funny Coin buahuhahuahah)
Really, so we are voting against a coin that isn't even launched yet?
Who is voting for it???GOTTA KEEP VOTING !!!!! ASKCOIN.NET
Can you post anything to make me see its release...or its "anything" (I can't find even a wallet address either) ? xD I feel so dumb: I can't find it LOL just freemasonry speeching around bitcointalk and twitter and stuff like that.
Anyway, GCoin won (what a little funny coin xD) but GUN keep the votes, doesn't it? I think it will win next tuesday mmhmm?
EDIT:
I finally found it...I think it was AskCoin's mistake xD during voting, if you have tried to click on the name "GCoin" it opened the freemasonry-coin-page (very very very LOL); now that's the winner coin you cannot click on name "GCoin" anymore...there is a link to a Forum and, from that, you go to a very different coin...something about slots and casinos xD
EDIT 2:
Yes, you can read on their forum https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=665858.480 that this mistake pissed them off too...at first (damn askcoin buhuahah)

any ideas or plans to innovate the coin? When the coin hits other exchanges and more people catch wind of guncoin, that is going to be the main concern. Unfortunately the exchanges are not full of gun enthusiasts, or people who want to support a cause; they are crypto enthusiasts, and people out to make a quick buck. If they see there is nothing that sets this coin apart from others, outdated scrypt, or top tier features, the coin may not last too long on the exchanges
We have decided not to change our algo from how it is currently configured. We are very pleased with how the Scrypt with DigiShield has performed and we are not eager to change the source.
I think we shouldn't close any door for now. It's still the beginning; maybe not changing the algo is the right move, maybe not. Let's say 50-50 to respect anyone's opinion
so...Team Guncoin is beginning another round of advertising next week and it would be great to get listed on another exchange to promote before that begins!
I think we can talk about the algo again after this next round of advertising mmhm?
Let's say no-one will join the coin after the campaign; maybe we should apply some tech changes and face the fact that we have to attract crypto-people...
or maybe guncoin will finally reach those facebook fans, they will start to buy the coin and we won't need to change anything (just keep improving and following the "projects" in the home of the main web site). More data can change an opinion.
Like that story..."you're in your house and you need money, car-key and the cell-phone: what you take first?..."
and then you say "nothing, because the house's on fire!"
more data can change opinions...if our minds stay opened for changing.LOL we threw a TON of votes towards the "askcoin" exchange. I am sure we will be listed there soon, but they are a brand new exchange and have nearly 0 trading volume for most coins.
On the other hand, please keep up the voting on BTER, Mintpal and AllCoin! We have a steady stream of votes and are rising on all of those lists.
I do not know what is up with Cryptsy. They put soooo many crap coins on the voting list for apparently no reason at all and yet they will not put Guncoin on the list even though we have an outstanding voting record with all of these other sites. We have contacted them many, many times and I have seen lots of you contact them as well. They obviously have something against us. Meh, whatever. It would be nice to be on Cryptsy, but it does not break my heart.

What about the marketing campaign? how's it going?
Ok people looks like we have another voting sights that messes around with the votes. AskCoin had 508 votes....508......then all of a sudden it changed to 504 for a loss of four votes. AND now we are in third place. Is someone hitting the wrong coin?
+1...and LOL
Does the android wallet work great?
Upgrade the front-page of the main web-page of Guncoin!
How are things going? the coin is incredibly stable for now and it's not bad.
How about the previous discussion?
PoS, x11(13,14,15...whatever LOL), anonymity...?
How do things go with the paper-wallets? What kind of marketing campaign are we trying? (I still think we should find a very good PR ).
And I remember something about a found-raising for some associations? Am I wrong?
by the way
Great Job with voting stuff! And with the Reports! And with anything else!
We have a stable coin with great potential and devs are doing good stuff like android wallets...slow but strong!
This is a Tank! a TankCoin (much better than a GunCoin xD )

don't lose hopes about the voting-loss on mintpal. Apparently lots of coins have lost votes so it's the same for us, not a big deal. And if (like they say) other coins have lost much more coins then us so we took an advantage!
It's good news! lots of voting possibility! let's do it!
It's good news! lots of voting possibility! let's do it!
Good Morning!
- Regarding changes like PoS, we are still considering it. However, Guncoin is gradually getting more and more support, and it is showing. There are more and more transactions posted per block now, trading volume is up more and more every week. Network hash rate keeps getting better and prices are raising with stronger buy support behind the market. So, we are definitely considering options, but on the other hand, we are very happy with how things are progressing.
- @timmy1979222, regarding the Wallet problem, make sure you have a "Guncoin.conf" file. And, as damm315er said, make sure to give it enough time to sync with the network if it is a new installation. If you still have problems, please email us directly for support.
- To the groincoin guys... U ROCK. Thank you for your support, and know that we will help support you guys as much as we can as well.
- Android Wallet should be completed this weekend! We will give an announcement as soon as it is completed.
- KEEP VOTING AT MINTPAL! We are getting higher on the voting list every day, and EVERY vote helps. Should we run some kind of voting promo? Maybe free GUN for verified votes? What do you all think?
- Also, I still think it would be a good idea to get together a fundraiser for NRA or "Friends of NRA" in the near future. Any thoughts on that?

+1000
Everyone in this community is doing a great job. I think a fundraiser for NRA is a good idea...I think anything that can bring support to the coin is a good idea
and I will repeat it all the time, anything that can wake up social network fans is THE good idea! Ok Here is the morning report.........
The voting at MINTPAL is up to 1534 at 11 am EST. There are a few assisting. Thanks, appreciate it.
Bleutrade is still getting bombarded by a person who IMHO seems to want to see Guncoin go down in a ball of flames. There seems to be quite a few trying to protect the coin and get it's value up to par but there is an oppressor out there.
OPINION: There is a sector of the public hell bent on destroying the Constitution. Not just the 2nd Amend. but the whole Constitution. How can that be? I know there are people here on the forum and buying in markets from all over the world. They may not understand what our Constitution stands for. It stands for the rights of the people. The people have the rights. That should be worldwide.....
If there are those abroad or in the US that want to smash the Constitution by starting with the little people, we are not going to let that stand.
Guncoin is the coin that could help get the word out.
If there is anyone out there that does not believe the statement above, I feel sorry for you. We need to get the word out to the NRA, Sarah Palin, Ted Nugent and others, that this coin is available.
No I/we are not the owner/owners of Guncoin, but we have been on their band wagon since before it launched, and will continue.
There are hundreds of people killed in GUN FREE zones and in cities that ban guns altogether than areas that have legal gun permits. I have never heard or read of a single bullet being fired at a gun show. I am sure you have all heard the saying, "If guns did the killing there wouldn't be any survivors at a gun show." Because everyone is carrying one.....so who is the bad guy?
Gun free areas make innocent people the targets...therefore reason dictates that the killers are the only ones with the guns.
Remember Hitler didn't like guns, so he confiscated them from the people, and we all know what happened then. We do not need history to repeat itself.
The word GUN is not a killer....Now if there was a PEOPLEcoin that would be something to be afraid of. Just saying...

thanks for your morning reports Ganrom!
they're a tradition now. Don't stop or I'll miss them.I still think..this person you're talking about is a problem till people start to buy guncoin and I'm talking about people outside cryptoworld. I alway point at facebook fans.
I think we have not enough "promotion campaign"..(and I think it should be gun-dedicated).
Last week a lot of suggestions were being made toward potentially changing the coin to a PoS or changing the coin to an X11/X13 algo. Are these still a potential reality? I have mentioned before that a PoS would be a great place to start. It would help support fellow gun-loving friends that may be still using some old rigs and mining isn't an option. Another reason, may give a sense of trust to the GUN wallet, download a wallet and begin "minting" you next firearm. I also know the high level of work in changing this; just curious if these were still options.
There also were some other suggestions on promoting/marketing to put our coin in the lime light of crypto. We have to keep thinking like this until we have something that sticks. We all know that there are big names out there that can and will hopefully help us one day but until then we need to think out side the box a little to help promote GUN.
We are all supporters of GUN but if we as a community can't prove our purpose and uniqueness then these "celeb" supporters wont come running and we are just another coin; or at least won't want their name haphazardly tossed on something that we are still working through. I know we have a purpose, one that is needed, but how to we do better to get that message out?
We are still a young coin and have tons of potential just need to keep working on it.
Yeah, maybe Pos could be a good solution about what I wrote last week about technology.
Tech and Promoting.
Maybe do we need a good PR?
How can we take one? (maybe we all can fundraising a good amount of coins and light someone's interest?)
We have been following your coin with interest for a few weeks since our coin launched a few weeks after yours. We had some ASICs and needed something to put them on since our coin is X11 and will not work with them. We did not want to sell them and looked for a good scrypt coin to mine with them. So we are mining GUN and have bought some on Bleutrade (where we are also traded), when the prices were low. We were very pleased to see the prices about double this morning and we sold some for about twice what we bought it at.
We are a CHL holder in Texas and have high hopes that your coin will be successful (as well as ours...LOL). We agree with all your thought processes we have read except for one. We saw in an earlier post about member concern that your coin features might be outdated and subject to an ASIC attack (don't worry about me, my hashing power is not that overwhelming). We noticed someone in our pool showed up with 35MH/s this morning to mine GUN - probably an ASIC I bet. With so many coins out there it is tough to stand out. I am curious why GUN does not take some type of fork to upgrade to newer features? It seems you have a good following and a stable coin - now might be the best chance you have before retailers jump on your coin. For our coin, we chose to go the X11 and DGW3 route with ours. Already, we see X13 and X14 coins coming out and are pondering if we need to upgrade or wait for something bigger. PLEASE, there is absolutely NOOOOO criticism here - nor any intent to promote our coin, just another supportive GUN miner/user hoping to see some serious upward movement on GUN and looking towards the longer term.

It's fantastic to see you GroinCoinPeople on board of the GuncoinShip too
I was reading your BitcointalkTopic and look through your specifications and goals for the coin and I can say you have an interesting cryptocurrency. Hoping you'll have success too.
I probably kind of agree about forking.
Some posts before I wrote down my thoughts about anonymity. I'm simply reading at people's posts and start to reason, trying to help the coin anyway I can, even just with my mind.
About anonymity-suggestion I said "I disagree" and you can find my "This is not a coin for Tor or Silkroad" post, easy.
about forking I think it's not a bad idea at all.
It's true what GunCoinSupport wrote about ASIC:
One thing people also need to understand with ASIC miners is that they are becoming more widely used, getting more powerful and the prices are dropping fast. ASIC's will not destroy the world of Scrypt. If anything, it may increase the number of miners. Mining is always evolving and that is not going to stop any time soon. Rest assured, no matter what the algo, there will be ASIC miners developed.
and, for sure, it's true what damm315er wrote:
Add a couple asics to mining gun coin, and my mining went from 7% to under 1% of the take on the mined coins. Not worth it for me to mine them anymore, with over $2g of GPU's in my rig.
Simple math.
I'll still follow the coin, but I can't compete with asics for mining scrypt.
Cest la vie
In my humble opinion, I think we should keep reasoning with a "long-term mind". Keep reasoning like we already are in the future in which GunCoin is strong as Bitcoin is; Used by all USA OnlineGunShops and anything else we can imagine about it's success.
I think we must start think this way, even if we haven't yet reached our goal, because WE WILL REACH THAT GOAL, I have no doubt at all about that.
So...we can't arrive at that goal-point with "pants down" (italian adagio...imagine you go to the toilet and something important happens when your pants are down and you had absolutely no idea that "thing" could happen at all...and absolutely no idea that "thing" could happen right in that moment!).
So...if we think we already are one of the strongest coins out there: do we think it's a big problem having a scrypt Algo or we do not?
is it easy to make us go down with a 51% attack right now?
What is bitcoin doing to protect itself? what we can learn from our big brother? (because we will reach him).
A long-term investment needs protection and needs to not lose anyone (like damm315er) on the road to reach greatness.
Again...in the end I don't think the point is "making things because they're hot right now" to make price go higher.
Guncoin price will skyrocket because its purpose. No matter what we will do, from now on (if developers keep going to develop features and things...of course
LOL)I think we have to "make things" because OF THE PURPOSE.
I don't know if I managed to explain myself and concepts in my mind...sometimes language is really an issue for me, poor damn italian guy,
but please, share your point of view about that (even a "I didn't fucking understand a single word you damn idiot!"
)At the core, Guncoin transactions can already be quite anonymous, as with most cryptocurrencies. We really do agree that being anonymous any more than the current abilities of GUN does not have a place with Guncoin's intended purpose. Therefore, we are not pursuing any extra features that expand on that. We are all for anonymity, and there are some really cool features out there, it just does not serve a purpose in this situation. We do not advocate going around the laws that are put into place, and those laws require checks that use people's real information (background checks, etc). The only way that Guncoin can potentially grow to widespread use is not by "dodging" those laws. It is by showing that people who use it also follow normal procedures that are part of buying any firearm.
One thing people also need to understand with ASIC miners is that they are becoming more widely used, getting more powerful and the prices are dropping fast. ASIC's will not destroy the world of Scrypt. If anything, it may increase the number of miners. Mining is always evolving and that is not going to stop any time soon. Rest assured, no matter what the algo, there will be ASIC miners developed.
A few side notes:
1. Trading volume on Bleutrade is getting better, and votes on Mintpal are looking great! Please everyone, help by voting. You can vote every hour on Mintpal. It will take us a while to get to the top of the list, but we will get there.
2. A "Free Guncoin" page with locations, faucets, giveaway's etc is being added to the website this weekend.
3. Android wallets will be coming soon. We got a little set back, but will report on this more soon.

I like what I read
Why is bleutrade valuing gun at .5 doge, when other exchanges are showing gun as higher value that doge?
not a problem of bluetrade...it's more a traders problem I guess
someone is not doing it in a right way.Besides that...
I was thinking; I read people talking about the anonymity like a good thing to make the value of the coin go higher...someone says: "a coin with anonymity is more like the good coin to buy and sell guns".
After a while...reasoning...I have to say "I disagree".
It's true, anonymity is a "hot thing" right now and coins with that thing are going high very easy...but that's not the point of our coin...that's my very humble opinion.
This coin is for "fire enthusiasts" and "Fire enthusiasts" don't say: << I want to hide the fact that I buy guns >>.
I think "anonymity" would make people believe that there is something wrong when you buy guns, online, with cryptocurrency. Why do you need anonymity? You're not doing anything wrong: it's your right to have a gun, isn't it.. you damn fool yankees?
LOLBut even the "worst" fire enthusiast knows that a gun is not a toy, so I think that some rules are ok...and I think that some of those rules will be "You cannot buy a gun if None doesn't know who you are".
That's my thought...and I can say it in a very short way: This is not a coin for TOR and SILKROAD guys
Please, share your point of view about that.
EDIT:
I can say more...I can say "This is not a coin for Tor or Silkroad" could even be a "motto"; that could mean change what someone thinks is a weakness in a strong point. We can create a line between us and other coins and stand on the not-anonymity side.
(not saying "anonymity" is a bad thing; just saying is not a guncoin thing)
