Glad to see this new thread for EGC

I won't be available for tomorrow's hangout, but will be sure to catch the recording.

Hello,
It is good to see more users of GUN.
I wish I could help with a specific answer, but all I can really say is that the wallet should work fine.
I recommend to double check that the file name is correct and re-add what appears to be the available current nodes and try again.
There were some others having issues with the wallet a few pages back and got it figured out after some trial and error.
Maybe read back in this post and see if there are any answers there.
Wishing you luck.

You just reminded me that I have one of those kicking around somewhere.

I'll have to look for it and see what it can do, since there is nothing like the sound of a video card humming in the background, helping to back digital currency

Could you please show us where Poloniex states that ETC is broken?

All I see are some statements here regarding not seeing a transaction from Poloniex.

No twitter statement.

No email notification.

No notice on Poloniex site.

I am interested to know if there actually is a problem.

My guess is that there is no issue going on, other than currently seeing red for most cryptos on Coinmarketcap.

Looks like we are not alone, with lots of big sales going on!

Ready to pick up some more and HODL.

Yep...

BTW, I appreciate the determination exhibited in working on solving the issue.

It also makes a nice lesson/instructional here in these pages for others who may need to figure out a conf file.

Pumps do no good.

Organic growth with inherent stability is way more desirable.

We want this to be real.

You are welcome.

Am glad to try and be useful, lol.

I am not sure of the exact name that file should be though,....probably "guncoin.conf" in lower case.

You may want to update/change or add a .conf file which you will find/can make in the Guncoin folder which would be under your "User name here"/AppData/Roaming/ folder.

In order to make that file, you can start with a regular .txt file then change the extension to ".conf" if need be.

Place that file in the Guncoin folder, then restart the wallet.

Here is where you may find some node lists: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/gun/#!network

This will be an interesting one.

Be careful if one chooses to "invest" in something with unreasonably high returns, that has affiliate commissions, and locks up your funds for a period of time.

History, if you look at it, has taught us many lessons.

Wishing you guys (CryptoClone) well, but let's see what time has to tell.

ETC doesn't quite fit into that mold for the copycat coins, being the original of the two.

The ETH vs ETC bantering I come across seems like good reading since interesting points are brought up.
They both seem to fit the same purpose though, except one you know has immutability, the other not.
Depending on the application/circumstances, each may have it's strong points.

Anyway...about the DAO hack.
It would be good to see that currency accounted for, one way or another, and I believe the uncertainty regarding this is holding ETC back.

I happened to be browsing these forums during a dump of about 8% of the total AUR (the stolen funds from Cryptsy),
It got gobbled up and seemed to help that currency's stability, now worth about 3x as much compared to before.

The stolen funds from UNO were accounted for in a different manner (auction).
Once again, about 8% of the total coins.
Uno picked up and is now maybe 20x after that happened.

The DAO hack was way less in proportion than the above examples.
Having those accounted for resulting in having uncertainties removed, might just be what ETC needs.

I like to think that it is because of recent activity and discussion regarding GUN's future, ideas being brought up, and more folks realizing that this is not a dead coin...only sleeping.
The possible support by the 2A community could make this one a "no-brainer" looking back someday.

Looking forward to giving this a go next week then.

They (PoSwallet) have always seemed to be fair in regard to their dealings from my experiences with them.
We will be losing a resource though, with the web wallet they had no longer being there.

Maybe it's time to acquire/make our own?

My suggestion:
Crowdsource our own webwallet.
Add some fees in there to help cover the costs of maintaining it.
Possibly a percentage of the stake, or transfer fees since EGC does need to take care of itself too, in order to accommodate others and green projects.

There is an active dev here, that we shouldn't expect to do everything, so we could at least cover the cost of making something like this happen if it fits in his plans.

One of the biggest hurdles to newcomers I see is the extra work in downloading a client, then doing the synchronizing.
With an official web wallet, somebody could have access to their EGC immediately, then do the wait/experience the learning curve, at their convenience.

Skimmed through recent posts/pages and wanted to share some thoughts:

It is good to see activity/discussion going on.

There are some funky coins out there, but I believe that their popularity goes along with a user's particular interest.
To me, it is difficult to imagine there not being many 2nd Amendment supporters who would love to know about GUN's existence, but just haven't learned of it yet.

Hopefully there are others on the sidelines, ready/willing to assist or share ideas.
If we can get more on board, the general 2nd Amendment Community's determination could be an unstoppable resource to have available.
Speaking of that, a focus initially on USA is probably where the strongest GUN support is possible.

It seems like some original resources (explorer-android wallet-marketplace) more or less slipped away.
Maybe we needed some shaking up prior to that, but now that they are gone, this may show the value they had.
I do not fault anybody, and understand that it must be a lot of work and hassle with maintaining them, and annoying too, especially considering that they were not being used.
BTW, I will do my best to keep an explorer going, but want to give kudos to the original supporter doing so (it should show his contribution back here somewhere on an earlier page).

My thoughts have been more or less "build it and they will come, or at least give them an opportunity to do so", and have been hoping for some updated resources, not having the knowledge myself to make them happen in a safe manner.
In particular, I am referring to a simple to use mobile wallet, and a secure web wallet for newcomers who don't want to learn/do the download-synchronize wallet stuff (probably the biggest turn off in crypto for somebody new to it that I can think of).
If ever there were those wallets, a fee for transactions could be a good idea, to help cover their maintenance.
I understand that anybody can make these things happen, including myself, but in my case I probably know just enough to be dangerous and am better off showing support than doing.

I do find the user's guide from the GUN homepage http://guncoin.info/users-guide/ very informative and point others to that.

Some kind of a breakthrough offering/use as being discussed, with a support system in place does sound like a winning combination.

I would initially think that ETC might be a better option than ETH if we go that route, due to the immutability aspect being more trustworthy, but honestly haven't looked into the ETH tokens mentioned.
I imagine that it would be some time before/if anything happened (a dumbchain seems fine for now) and ETC may have grown up a bit by then too, and there could be options coming that we don't know of yet.
If changes happen someday where coins have to be turned in/exchanged for another, that process would need to have no time limit to do so, otherwise we lose the immutability of stored value ourselves.

tldr; shared some ramblings

If you have connections, it should be synchronizing.
I would believe that if you give it more time, it should show some activity.
You can also check the current block height here: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/gun/#
I know that I can have some difficulty when my internet is "running slow".

It is good to see how much a relatively small donation from the EGC community can affect another.

I see that too, and it always makes me think of Guncoin, and what a bot for trading GUN would/should be called

It is nice to see that some information has been updated on the website and the OP here at Bitcoin Forum.

A good start, getting pointed in the right direction... downrange.
