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
