Re: [ANN] Guncoin(GUN) - GUN Core V1.5.1 Released - Mandatory
I have had Guncoin since its inception and I still don't have a clue on how to update. Can anyone give me a tutorial?
1) Backup your existing wallet.
2) Download the new V1.5.1 from Github
3) Run it on your computer.
That is pretty much it newbie....
Secret name calling... I like that....
Re: [ANN] Guncoin(GUN) - GUN Core V1.5 - What's Next???
Well the sooner the better as various technological options are available like burning coal vs solar energy or one supplementing the other. Whereas prevention of double spending and forcing honesty in block creation as an incentive for energy consuming miners but failure to provide an incentive for stake holders would hinder the expansion of peer to peer nodes that would have make any decentralized network operate at a higher quality.
Again, appreciate the input - but again, you give us nothing that anyone who reads these threads or can read on Wikipedia does not already know. NOTHING happens over night, NOTHING happens without someone paying for it AND our recent history has proven that the GUN coin team is moving the coin in the right direction and getting things done. The coin is now a technologically current, stable, secure and safe crypto currency that firearms users can use to replace their merchant accounts. If you think we are going to dump a years worth of work and blindly move the coin to PoS on a whim to satisfy the current fad, you are sadly mistaken. You do not need to educated us or anyone else on PoS vs PoW, that is pointless. Guncoin has a mission that I have stated over and over and over again that is NOT going to change. While you make interesting generic comments, they have ZERO effect on our path forward for GUNCOIN as they offer no solutions, offers to help or anything but generic facts. As far as providing incentive to stakeholders, there are plenty in my recent posts here and on Telegram to answer those questions.
Not sure of the clarification of, something being interesting and generic at the same time nor how that works. Overall I was specific in terms of stakeholders and node expansion idea. While clearing the smoke screens of mentioning of dubious source usage of Wikipedia to create an the insecure feeling of educating anyone on mining, in no ways there was an attempt to criticize the current course of the helm nor does anyone want years of hard work dumped based on any fashionable fad that's been around since 2012. Change of any kind NEVER is expected to happen overnight. Hard work and cost is understandable, as even with exchanges are now charging from half $1million to $7million to weed out listings of shit coins/ICOs. In what was thought to be an honest conversation from the very beginning, in the midst of irrelevant stupefaction feedback, I appreciate you finally hitting the GUN target and mentioning that these questions were already addressed and to reference their precepts on Telegram.
Re: [ANN] Guncoin(GUN) - GUN Core V1.5 - What's Next???
I understand the concept of time and cost of money, but for the past month, has been news in the crypto world of constant, deliberate 51% attacks and double spending...
https://news.bitcoin.com/you-can-now-51-attack-a-coin-for-as-little-as-500/
I must say, GUN coin indeed has a HUGE potential in the the future but will experience a huge set back should double spending occur...
Maybe it's happening now and nobody in the community has a clue as the coin is relatively cheap.
Bitcoin itself could have been a victim of 51% attack, while in it's early small marketcap stage, but very few were educated on the concept of how crytocurrency and blockchain technology works... By the time the Bitcoin adoption spread, those who tried to educated themselves on how to maliciously hack, 51% attack, reverse blocks, and double spend, Bitcoin, Ether, and even Litecoin prices has already risen to the point where it would be expensive and unfeasible to perform such dishonesty. In the Bitcoin early stages, it was more common to fork and create new altcoin for profits instead...
But now since these POW altcoins are becoming more pricey enough to the point where miners can just immediately take their earnings on a weekly, even daily basis and sell their coins on the exchanges, cryptocrooks have also figured out a way to profit from the cheap hashrate cost of performing a 51% attack... I could be wrong, but I've notice that there were NO news on a 51% attack or double spending on POS coins as even as expensive as ETH is to perform such malice, that network is even changing to POS in the near future.
POS forces individuals to purchase coins and risk losing their possessions should any dishonesty occurs... For a POS 51% attack to occur I believe one must own 51% of the coins in current existence, which is truly, relatively expensive. POW sort of does the same thing with electricity but essentially there is no explicit up front risk as your money is automatically at STAKE, in addition, should they try anything, electricity would make the hash rate costly, but to notice your coins are directly lost and taken away from you is a big ouch and nobody ever wants to experience that... . It would also be more of an incentive for miners to participate and more nodes would be added to network with a cheaper electric bill. Again Gun coin will face alot of shady obstacles during it's adoption, which would be costly, should it remain as a POW mining coin while it's cheap in price and vulnerable.
Your concern for our coin is much appreciate, but any discussion on a 51% on GUN is wasted here. We have automatic checkpointing (ACP) that was locked in months ago and so reselling the same coins over again is simply not possible. You may see our write up on the website or Google that feature to see how it works. The Guncoin team was on top of this potential issue and fixed it way before it ever made the news.
While I also appreciate the info about PoS coins, it added no new info to what we already know and understand. We still stick by what I wrote in the previous post - there is lots on the table to evaluate, but nothing is changing today.
Well the sooner the better as various technological options are available like burning coal vs solar energy or one supplementing the other.

Re: [ANN] Guncoin(GUN) - GUN Core V1.5 - What's Next???
I'd like to address some questions on masternodes from some of other social media outlets that has come up this week.....That has been a hot topic for well over a year and something we have considered and NEVER ruled out. It is still seriously being considered by the Guncoin Team. But as many of you know, not something we can just roll in to the current coin.
Keep in mind that our path that we set out on a year ago was to bring GUN totally current with technology using the Bitcoin Core model with a few extra bells and whistles along the way. To date, we have successfully met that goal (ahead of schedule) and like other coins following the Bitcoin Core, we are on the Lightning Network path and have a VERY VERY capable coin.
Our goal has always been and really still is, to provide a totally safe, secure, stable and fast way to handle firearms tranactions for merchants who choose to use GUN in place of a typical merchant account. At this point, we are right there - that is what GUN is today! While there are not a lot of dealers/sellers using GUN yet, there are some using it regularly with much success. We are thrilled to death where GUN is today and what it offers the every day gun dealer for transaction purposes.
NOW, the other side of the coin (no pun intended) is those who choose to INVEST in GUN and have been doing so very loyally for may years. While they have always come second to our primary goal stated above, they have and will not be ignored and we have full plans to address their needs as well - it is just not possible for the GUN Team to do EVERYTHING at once and loose focus on what we are trying to get done - So that is where masternodes could possibly come into the picture in looking out for long-time GUN investors and miners.
Simply put, we are still a small coin with huge potential, but the reality is that we cannot do everything at once. Anything we do, takes time and money - nothing is free. While there are may great ideas (like masternodes, privated networks, smart contracts, etc.), they cannot all be done at once, cost money and in many cases, cannot be done within the same coin with current programming technology. That may disappoint some or many of you, but that is the reality of it. GUN is currently a Proof of Work (PoW) coin and has been since day one. Masternode coins for the most part are Proof of Stake (PoS) - those two architectures for the most part are not really compatible with each other in the same coin or token.
The GUNCOIN team has never been one to chase technology and be on the bleeding edge of things. That goes against our principle of providing a solid and stable coin like we described above. If you remember, we waited several years for technology to advance to a point and the altcoin acceptance was at a point for us to implement what we have done over the past 8-9 months. For those who stayed with us - you know it was worth the wait.
So for those that follow Altcoins, you are aware that there are several hybrid coins out there that fall into the PoW/PoS hybrid category that offer advantages of both PoS and PoW. While those are VERY attractive to us and we keep close watch on them, we are not 100% sure that is the correct path for the current GUN that we have now.They are very new in mumber, appear to be functioning well and provide a coin usable for day-to-day transactions AND something worthwhile for coin investors. As this technology and coding matures, it is a very real possibility for GUN in the near future. Of course a much more simpler and quicker option is just to create a GUN PoS coin with masternodes and airdrop the coins in to current GUN owners in pools and exchanges.
At this time, we have no preference over either path and both are on the table for the GUN team to evalate and figure a way to pay for if and when we go down one of those paths. Both paths offer advantages and disadvantages as you can imagine. Right now, we have a solid, stable and easy to maintain coin - why mess with it? On the other hand, not sure we want to deal with managing 2 different coins - no matter how they are linked together. So nothing is decided and we are still evaluating the possibilitieis and accessing what can and cannot be done now. As always, we are open to your opinions and ideas that is purpose of this post.
For those who have followed GUN for many years and accumulated coins, you are aware that we do not stand still - we keep moving and try and choose our path wisely. We are not a pump and dump team, otherwise, we would have been gone long ago. We are here for the long term, still have most of GUN coin that we have mined over the years and looking forward to a bright future for GUN. As always, we appreciate you patience and support.

Since we are following the Bitcoin Core (not cash) protocol, does this mean in the future the Gun Coin network will have Layer 2 lighting payment channel implemented on top of its' BlockChain?
We are pleased and proud to announce the release of GUN Core V1.5. This is a huge day for Guncoin as with this release, we are now current and up to date with Bitcoin Core 0.16.0. This release is packed full of exciting features - some obvious, some subtle. But all are important as they make GUN a technologically current coin, as has always been our goal.
This release adds a new script (P2SH) address prefix and all addresses generated will use it by default. The prefix for script now begins with a G but is still different from regular P2PKH addresses which also begin with a G. P2PKH uses Base58 prefix 39 and P2SH uses Base58 prefix 38. Exchanges, pools and other services will be asked to update to this new version of Guncoin to allow people to withdraw to the new address.
- Wallet defaults to SegWit addresses
- BIP173 (Bech32) Address support (gc1 addresses)
- HD-wallets by default
- Performance Improvements
- Script signature cache reimplemented as a cuckoo cache
- Assumed-valid blocks have been introduced
- BIP152: Some ompact blocks relayed before being fully validated
- UTXO cache now claims unused mempool memory
- P2P networking refactored with focus on concurrency and throughput
- Chainstate database is now per-output instead of a per-transaction model
- Full UTXO cache now used
- Reduced redundant script validation
- LevelDB upgraded to 1.20
- Keypool refill sped up
- ZMQ On Windows
- Network Activity Toggle
- Out-of-sync Modal Info Layer
- Introduction of assumed-valid blocks
- Sensitive Data Is No Longer Stored In Debug Console History
- Rescanning with encrypted wallets
- Fee Estimation Improvements
- Multi-wallet support
- Removal of Coin Age Priority
- Mempool Persistence Across Restarts

Re: [ANN][WINK] WINK! Unleash your selfie potential
I hope that someone will take over of this project. I am willing to help on whatever way possible. Maybe the Wink community can make an effort to do so. Is there a way for us for the prevention of the delisting in coinex?
Either way, how would anyone be able to transfer coins to a wallet that doesn't even work?
Re: [ANN][WINK] WINK! Unleash your selfie potential
@calebkious you are a dev? You know it has been more than 9 months without showing up here? I do not know why you tell people to be patient when this "project" is more than dead and abandoned.
Calebkious couldn't even explain the situation why the wallet is not syncing...
Re: [ANN][WINK] WINK! Unleash your selfie potential
Be patient? The wallet doesn't even work. Missing out on weeks of Staking my coins.
Are you a dev for the project? If not you should really stop spreading FUD.
Project can't be dead, it's only been out for 8 months. There are projects that were absent for years that had amazing comebacks.
Try being patient, people have lives going on, and for all you know this is the center of their attention, they might just have obstacles to overcome at the moment.
NO it won't be listed anywhere because this project is dead and since it's dead, I hope no one will invest in this, the fact that is listed only on two shady exchanges like coinexchange and yobit must tell you something

Will we be seeing this listed on other exchanges such as Binance, HitBTC, CoinT, etc.?
Would love to see more people discovering the project.

Re: [ANN] Guncoin(GUN) - GUN Core V1.5 is in Work Now
Moving forward on the GUN Core Roadmap, we will be getting started on GUN V1.5.....
There are lots of new and exciting features in this update that you can see on our Roadmap page on the website. We anticipate rolling it out in early June on schedule. While this should be a soft fork and backward compatible, it will be highly advantageous to upgrade once the Guncoin team makes it available.

Does the online/desktop wallet have HD ( Hierarchical Deterministic ) capabilities, meaning if I were to send a partial amount will the remaining balance go to a new address but in my wallet and not get lost?
Re: [ANN][FYP] Flyp.me ICO - 🌟 50% PROFIT SHARING 🌟 FYP Token - Augur added
Is the ICO for this already over?
Hello! The ICO is over, but FYP Tokens can be bought at HitBTC, EtherDelta, ForkDelta, HolyTransaction and Flyp.me
Are all of these dEx's?
Or is FYP featured on any centralized exchanges?
FYP is a centralized exchange, for anonymous traders.
Re: [ANN] Guncoin(GUN) - GUN Web 1.0 Release - New GUN Web Wallet
Nice new article on Guncoin today!
http://outlivetheoutbreak.com/guncoin%ef%bb%bf-cryptocurrency-for-the-firearms-industry/
Wow. Very good news. If that take, possible that 1 GUN = $1 in future.
The article can link directly to the trading pair using this:
https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Exchange/?market=GUN_BTC
There's also a LTC and DOGE pair, but ... may be confusing for new people.
$1 looks good. I can buy a few ARs and Glocks and Colts and lots of ammo with that.
Between $1 and $1000 is for pure ammunitions, clips and magazines.... $1000 and up would get you Glocks, Pumps, ARs and AKs with the ammunitions...

Re: [ANN] Guncoin(GUN) - GUN Web 1.0 Release - New GUN Web Wallet
In the Resource pull down menu of the Guncoin website, in the Merchant Directory, Along with the FirearmsAdvertising.com link, their banner ought to be displayed as well... It would be more attentive, since they're on the subject of advertisment... 
We are pleased to announce our next partnership with a very well known US-based prepper group called "Outlive the Outbreak" - http://www.OutlivetheOutbreak.com. Outlive The Outbreak is a large website, with significant monthly traffic, that covers different survival and prepping tips and tricks, firearms, politics and homesteading. They also have a popular Gear Review section where they work with different companies to test and evaluate a wide variety of products. They are very excited about the Guncoin Project as well.
Outlive The Outbreak is dedicated to making sure you are well prepared for unpredictable events such as natural disasters (Wild Fires, Hurricanes, Tornados, etc.) or an economic or societal collapse. When the worst event imaginable happens, they want you to be as prepared as possible to survive the event and period that follows.
Benjamin Franklin once said, By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail - those are wise words and we look forward to working with them.

Cool stuff indeed. Does this mean that Guncoin will be advertised on that site in the future?
Yes, they have some odd size banner requirements and we have none that fit - so need to design new ones which are in work. They will also be promoting us and writing an article about us within a few days as well.
Why not offer space for advertisement within the Gun coin website as well where one must purchase and pay with Gun coin? It would be the safest haven for 2nd Amendment supporters, and The Fire Arms industry the may find it hard to have a platform over the internet in general. Also, can you explain Gun coin Gold and Gun coin Silver? Are they completely different coins on a completely different network? Will they added to the total amount of Gun coins in the current existence? Is there a future plan to migrate to the tokenized Ether network as well?
Re: [ANN] Guncoin(GUN) - GUN Web 1.0 Release - New GUN Web Wallet
Is the GunCoin Network ASIC Miner friendly? Thinking about getting a BitMan compatible unit. Hopefully the next wallet version would also become POS.
Re: [KOBO] Kobocoin - An African peer to peer payment/micropayment system
Had to move this here so it doesn't get lost
QUICK UPDATE
The new website template is almost done. I think it's an improvement. There's a lot to it but this is how the mockup looks so far. The very top blue bar in the shot below will have market details (price in USD/BTC/ETH and other African currencies) listed as well as the social icons. The image in the mockup is from the old website. The new website will have new, targeted and brighter images (so don't get hung up on the dark Shanghai image in the mockup below). I've already seen the newer images and they're a whole lot better.
ALL TEXT AND IMAGES WILL BE CHANGED - THIS IS JUST A MOCK UP TO GET THE THEME RIGHT
https://kobocoin.com/new_website1.jpg
And below is what it looks like when it's scrolling. As you can see, the header is static and the blue top bar disappears (it's all the rage
)
https://kobocoin.com/new_website2.jpg
It also looks good on mobiles. It's a wordpress responsive site.
https://kobocoin.com/new_website3.jpg
There's so much going on behind the scenes right now but I'll leave it at this for now. There will be a forum as well as not many people outside of the industry know of BitcoinTalk. I think it would be a great way for new users to get immediately immersed in kobo.
BTW - I am now being contacted by the largest African Banks offering Kobocoin a bank account AND access to their global networks to operate on. I'm not sure one is needed right now but it's a definite sign that people are very aware of kobocoin's potential in the market.
I'll post a dev URL when I've installed it on our main servers. It will be a beta site so we can decide what works and what doesn't (just as we did with the logo).
ALSO
The new website will be SSL and have a trusted green bar.
TT

ALL THE MORE REASON NOT TO MIGRATE TO ETHER.... I am not anti-Ether, I just feel it would be a bad business decision considers the cluttered speed and required "gas" for transaction when transactions are automatically done via KOBO... In addition, KOBO network being light years ahead as POS coin, Ether seem too political and I don't mean in term of Politics in Africa, I mean the Politics of internal struggles for control and proper decision making for their own network.
Re: [KOBO] Kobocoin - An African peer to peer payment/micropayment system
This community is going to destroy a REALLY GOOD THING if the decision to migrate to the ETHER network is realized... I think we should stay as our own network, keeping it POS, and remain independent, sustaining our own network like Africa ought to stride for post-Imperial Colonialism.
