Glad to see where GUN is looking to go. I've actually been waiting for this for a long time!
Really looking forward to the future of this project.
Excellent !!! Welcome to the group and thanks for posting! |

We have accumulated a decent list of gun shops and businesses that accept bitcoin and it is bigger than I expected. We are building it into a spreadsheet with contact info, etc. While I am not going to post them publically (and give them free advertising), I will make it available to those interested in walking in the door of one that might be nearby in their community to talk GUN with them once we complete our upgrades and have the mobile wallet running later this year. If they already accept BTC, 2/3 of the battle is already done for us. Once the list is complete, I will post the cities they are in for this thread to see if you have one close.

We did a server switchover last night with no issues. However, the main site was down during the process - Back to normal now and a little faster. For those in the USA in the GUN community, we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving holiday and safe travels if you venture out from home and back this weekend!

Software never goes according to plan it seems. GUN V1.2 is still in beta test - all looks good so far, just taking a bit longer than we expected to get it wrapped up. Hopefully, within a few days.

Note that the Users Guide has been recently updated and available on the website. This was an interim update just to bring it present to where we are today. It will be updated again with the upcoming releases.

It's good to see some more interest in GUN. Wanted to share a chart covering the last few months. A nice steady uptrend in regard to value relative to USD. Darn, looks like I forgot how to insert an image....maybe a link instead for now. https://imgur.com/a/wtC6Q |

I like the name of the coin.
I would like to earn it a little or get it.
Tell me where better to start, which pool or can there is an option to buy on the exchange?

I am pleased to release the most current version of Guncoin - GUN V1.2. As I have said before, this is an interim release as a soft fork. While it is not mandatory that everyone upgrade with V1.2, it is recommended that they do. You will find it is far superior to V1.1 and much more efficient and functional. It is very simple to use - once it is loaded, let it sync on its own, there are seed nodes built into the system now and it only takes about an hour to download the entire block chain now. You will notice a new splash screen and a few extra features and options available in the wallet itself. It is available on the OP or the website for Windows and Apple/MAC. This release does NOT include any Linux versions. We chose NOT to do those at this time, but will have those available in the next release.
Having polled the community in recent months, there was no clear consensus as to the best path forward as to what should be included. So moving forward, to us, it seemed the logical best path forward at this time was to :
1) Modernize the coin and wallet to meet or beat all the current crypto currency technology standards, while applying lessons learned from other coins and several years of technological advancements as the crypto currency market matured.
2) Secure and protect the coin and its users from those who would seek to disrupt the normal course of crypto currency business transactions surrounding our coin. With this I refer to the blockchain, your wallets and the day to day transactions that GUN is and will be used for.
3) Simplify the startup process for the new user or the first-time crypto currency novice (ie, working seed nodes, faster wallet, self-executing WIN setup, etc.) - you will notice the config file is greatly simplified.
4) Improve the efficiency and speed of the wallet itself and add a few new features where possible. (V1.2 can create a fresh wallet and download the entire block chain in a little over an hour.)
Those are in order of priority as well. So those may sound like some very vague and generic goals. However, in reality they are very specific and without them and the changes they bring internally, the coin would go nowhere and be unsafe to use (as many smaller coins out there are today). With this series of upgrades starting with GUN V1.2, GUN moves a step closer to being one of the more efficient, technologically advanced and secure coins in the crypto currency world today. THAT is a much easier sale to a newbie gunshop owner than we have ever seen before.
To do all this is not simple. It is costly, tedious and time consuming and dangerous to roll all of that into one release and dump it as hard fork on an unsuspecting community, exchanges and pools. As such, we are going to roll it all out in what we think is a very well tested series of releases (probably 2-3) over the next 6-8 weeks - maybe sooner if all goes well. Of course, we are still a Neoscrypt coin - absolutely no changes there - we are thrilled to be one of the small number of Neoscrypt coins and are still convinced that is the right algorithm and direction for GUN.
As for the rest of the details of what is in GUN V1.2, for those who are very familiar with our code, you know V1.1 and earlier was based on bitcoin 0.8. After the release of V1.2, we will be closer to or a little past 0.9. Since bitcoin 1.3 is floating around out there now, it is not hard to figure out what comes next. More details are in the Release notes on GitHub. I am not a big fan of published roadmaps - it makes it easy for someone to change the signs or lay landmines in front of you. For the most part, this upgrade is a major step forward for GUN and our community.....there is more to come. Please spread the word. As always, I appreciate your patience and support.

This is great to see. It may not be flashy news to some, but having a more secure blockchain to help security and make this a more solid coin sounds like the way to go. I see no problems with timing releases to ensure the best transition forward. There is no reason to rush things, and many reasons to not. Downloaded the new wallet and it did sync in about an hour on a computer that had never seen the GUN blockchain before. Didn't have to worry about a config file setup. This was an extremely easy install, and hopefully so to any newcomers. |

------------This release does NOT include any Linux versions.----------
I compile wallets only from GitHub. V 1.2 compiles without errors, blocks are loaded, but I / O addresses are corrupted. Paper wallet (include in "wallet generator" soft) - error import private key (importprivkey).
for output - guncoin:111111111111111111111111111111111111111BU9TZvbTLmUNrhBjzpzahRUyYpWQLAk4p

Thanks, it is always fun to check that with the various cards. I will try and find some where to put that link as I think it is pretty useful. Just to clarify again, this release was never meant to add everything in the world. Only to take a big step forward to solidifying the coin to make it more desirable for the local gun store. There is more to do in V1.3 which we will be starting on within a week or two after most people switch over and we know all is good. Once we get to where we want to be - hopefully, within 1-2 months with the next 1-2 releases, THEN we will build a mobile wallet - we have someone standing by to do that. But NOT until we do all we need to do as described in our previous post. |

Looking forward to introducing Guncoin a little more seriously in the future at my local Firearms/Sporting Goods stores. |
