No rush....better to have things done right, than done too quick.

I found myself another graphics card a while ago and added that to GUN's mining hash over at The Blocks Factory, YAY!

 Anyway...what I really wanted to share was a few thoughts about GUN:
 I have printed some paper wallets, and some stickers to give away as I try to explain GUN to some local gunshops and to whomever's path I cross that I feel may be interested.

 I believe it would be easier, and GUN probably taken a little more seriously if we had the resources readily available to legitimize/explain it.
 Imagine...
 Me, "Hey, check this out, this GUN currency is awesome"
 Other, "What is it?, what does it do?"
 Me, "It is a new type of currency, a way to transfer value peer to peer, for gun enthusiasts"
 Other, "Show me"
 Me, "Sorry, I cannot actually do that without being behind my computer, but someday it could be something big for people/businesses enjoying/using firearms, let me TRY to explain..."
 Other, ""
 .....VS.....
 Me. "Pulls out a sweet looking paper wallet and transfers GUN to it via my phone, and maybe also hand them another pre-valued paper wallet that I loaded/printed earlier"
 Other, "Wow, that's awesome, your own gun money?"
 Me, "Yep, and still in it's early stages, let me answer any questions you may have"
 
 Tools such as an android wallet, and a desktop wallet that could print paper wallets would be great to have.
 We could have a preprinted empty wallet and transfer GUN in a matter of seconds onto it from our phones as a demonstration of how easy GUN is to use.
 A web wallet would make it easier for newcomers also, making it as simple as logging on to a website and then transferring GUN from there, hopefully being able to import private keys from paper wallets they may have received, and not having to download anything to become involved.

 Not having the resources to promote is one of the likely reasons GUN seems to be slipping to me.

 My thought is that we need to crowdsource the necessary funds to pay for whatever it takes to make, and run an android wallet, and fix the current QT wallet so that one might be able to mine directly from it (you actually can though, with your CPU, under the mining tab, but I am more referring to using your computer's video card), along with the printing of paper wallets (preferrably with an option of using your own background image which would allow the "printing of one's own money" for ranges, gunshops, promotions, etc...).

 I do understand that the ability to do that last (print from the walet) may be extremely technically challenging, but maybe we can put together a paper wallet generator where we can easily substitute our own individual, custom background images into.

 An update to the wallet that automatically adds a fee which goes toward the expenses, development, and promotion of GUN would also be extremely beneficial in my opinion.
 Considering how much and how many things gun folks pay for already, this would be a miniscule expense for a tool such as GUN to have at one's disposal.

 I believe that it is not up to the "dev" to make things happen, other than keeping the website and social media accounts active, up to date, and maybe shaking us up now and then, letting us know that we can't sit around and think something is going to happen by itself.
 We have to do the doing, but maybe need him/them to let us know that, and share what ideas they may be able to impliment with our help...some organization.
 No new exchanges are going to accept GUN until they see positive activity from the GUN community.

 To me, this looks a good time to try something other than wait around, since GUN isn't going to get much lower in value, with not much to lose in that regard, and lots to gain.
 I believe that GUN is a sleeper of a coin that has great potential, considering that it is technically running smoothly, fits a niche market that has compassionate beliefs in freedoms, and has quite a bit of time left with close to the initial block rewards for many to get involved without feeling like they missed the boat.

 Anyway...thanks for reading

TLDR: about the same as my last post, just different words.

Hello CoinMarketCap Folks,

I was hoping that you could update the available supply field on one of my favorite coins:

GUN

The link is correct to CryptoID, but the balance does not show the current/correct amount.

Thank you.

Being delisted from Bleutrade was unexpected.
Didn't see that one coming since I thought that they gave warning in regard to such matters.
This looks like quite a wake up call.
Users who are interested in GUN trading should go on over to Cryptopia and show some support.

A few thoughts:
We should probably all work together and focus our energy and passion towards promoting the coin.
I too would like to see some more activity on the social networks, (at least FB for me, since I don't use the others) but we all may be a little guilty
by not throwing attention that way ourselves.
GUN is a decentralized currency, and technically anybody can do whatever they would like to do to promote it.
Some things do need organization and planning though.
It would be nice to have more resources to work with, (I know...a big list here), such as the new wallets, an android wallet, web wallet, and whatever it takes to make sure the systems
are up and running to support those (servers and whatnot? at least for the android and web wallet stuff I believe), ability to print nicer paper wallets for giveaways, etc...
Maybe crowdsource from our community what it would take to make things happen since it would be much easier to promote and to be validated that way.
If we put our best efforts forward and GUN gained some momentum, educating the firearms community of this option, the payback could be awesome.


TL:DR We got a shock today, let's do some positive things to help GUN.

I always enjoy seeing your posts, they help keep things in perspective from another angle.

To myself, XVG has "permission" to evolve/adapt/change, not many currencies do.

Crypto is not stagnant and I believe that XVG will fill a need/void one of these days.

I somewhat like the idea as to having it running tunnels/nodes for the deep web or something of that sort, or a new system of privacy.

 

I believe that Maza means something like "metal".

Lots of decent coins were on Mintpal, it had a nice user interface.

Too bad about their issues (started with minting customer's VRC I believe), and was finished off with we all know who.

Lots of reasons to sell, lots of reasons to buy.

I see no reason to sell personally, believing it can only go up in value.

The main reason I got into "DogecoinDark" / XVG was the fact that it was stated as Evolving, which has kept the window open to change things up as time progresses, not being locked into anything.

It was also refreshing seeing an active and available developer.

Maybe we will see an evolution happening someday that will place XVG into the ranks of the top cryptos?

I understand this is not exactly what you asked for, but here is my quick update.

It appears as if the blockchain is smoothly running along.

There are still lots of inexpensive coins out there.

I believe this currency should be a "no-brainer" for gun enthusiasts who understand some money/value/risk/computer stuff, to try out and get involved with.
Considering how much $$$ we put into our firearms, accessories, and related endeavours, this would represent a minuscule amount in relation to most expenses.

Sort of a fun vote of conscious for firearms/freedoms also.

For my part, I have a graphics card going and have put together a printout of the U.S. Bill of Rights (page sized and framable) on decent paper, that I plan placing instructions, public, and private addresses onto the back of, to give away to the local gunshops and at upcoming gun shows.

Wishing GUN lots of luck while it continues to stay under the radar.

Not sure how many are active, but here are some that I found in my conf file:

addnode=104.131.144.82
addnode=138.201.91.159
addnode=162.243.30.96
addnode=198.211.100.230
addnode=37.59.24.15
addnode=74.120.220.54
addnode=78.46.190.152
addnode=85.214.23.49
addnode=85.24.169.215
addnode=91.65.103.62
addnode=95.46.98.50
addnode=98.115.147.74
addnode=104.236.107.27

edit: removed some stuff cause it was duplicated.

Maybe if it was posted in the speculation area, it would have stayed.

That post was kind of Doom and Gloom, but I do understand his feelings.

We can't blame the dev, since he is more active than any I have seen.
We need to figure out something positive and do it, to make things happen.

It is interesting to see AUR garnering such attention, but I doubt many Auroracoin enthusiasts will partake in such an endeavour, believing in a more sustainable and organic growth pattern for their currency.

Best wishes for your project 

Happy New Year to all too!

I am looking forward to seeing what's in store for AUR this year.

My intuition tells me good things.

I believe the phase that AUR exists currently in is:

"This is a damn fine coin, stable, has a purpose, and still insanely inexpensive to buy/support, someday you'll wish you bought more" phase.

Most of the altcoins will look weak while Bitcoin rises so strong, with the reverse most likely happening when BTC adjusts down.

As long as there is some type of foundation working on Auroracoin's promotion and use, it has more going for it than almost any altcoin out there.

I believe that now is the time to buy AUR, and am using the little BTC I have to do just that 

I saw the price of 10000 and by the time I double-checked it was gone  

Hoping for another "redistribution".

Nothing "illegal" about dumping, since those are the chances we take.
Looks like some of our own may be getting some good deals today and this may help AUR in the future by considering this an additional redistribution.

The wallet at Bittrex is under "maintenance" also as we see this happening.
Maybe if they find that the coins were illegally obtained or from Cryptsy, or somewhere else they should not have come from, they will freeze it.

edit: some words and spacing

I wonder how much of this is actually true:

http://www.revolutions2040.com/iceland-finally-confirms-9-top-bankers-jailed-46-years/

Maybe Iceland has what it takes to make something happen in regard to digital currency also?

I see VERGE under their list of supported altcoins, but not in their marketplace.

Haven't used them yet, so not sure exactly how it works (looks like an exchange that allows traders to connect directly....nothing stored by them... interesting).

I hope you don't mind me chiming in, but when I have tried importing private keys, and it doesn't work, it has usually been me mistyping something...like adding a space where it does not belong, or not having one where it does 
Good luck.

@ Cryptogasm: Honesty is welcome to see, and glad that you do care enough for the warning. Hopefully you will hang on to some of your XVG.

@ ShadowBits: I cannot agree more.
