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? |

First, thanks for interest and support of Guncoin. Second, while yes, we could really use more donations to do things faster, charging for advertising is not something we choose to do at this time - even that we pay for advertising on partner sites for now. We want to encourage our merchants to accept GUN and list them in our directory - when we have pages of merchants, at that time, we may offer premium banner space on the website - but we are not there yet. That being said, promotion/advertising of GUN should be a community thing. In other words, I do not see BTC/LTC/ETH owners spending their money on advertising. We are for now in certain places that make sense. But Guncoin is designed to be a decentralized cryptocurrency - that means with community support it will succeed. One can check the donations address below and see we get very few - primarily from two members and no others. More is always appreciated and as you have seen - well spent. Enough said on that. In regards to your other comments on what lies ahead for GUN, I would say that all that you mentioned is on the table and being considered for various GUN alternatives. I will point out that first and foremost, Guncoin was originally designed to be a virtual currency for every day firearms transactions - that has not and will not change. That is the direction it is headed right now. It will be a technologically stable, secure and safe means to transact any and forearms related transaction - it is right now. After the next upgrade, it will be a state of the art coin with enormous capabilities exceeding many other coins. We intend to finish what we started and committed to before doing anything else and we are almost there. So there are many wonderful ideas out there for all sorts of things that Guncoin could or should do comparable to many other coins with great features (Smart contracts, POS, Masternodes, etc, etc). Those are all great ideas, but you simply cannot do all of that in one coin. That brings us to your references to GUN-Gold, GUN-Silver, etc. etc. Yes, there are long term plans to address other technology features possibly in other tokens/coins, under the Guncoin family. That plan has NOT been formalized or published and I have no set date to do that. Right now, we are still reviewing technologies, options, budgets and as always trying to figure out how to pay for it all - again donations help us do all that we have done to this point and have planned in the future. I do NOT want to hype or pump the coin - just trying to honestly answer your questions. As always, we appreciate input from the community...... That was a great set of questions and we hope our answers gave you close to what you wanted to hear. Guncoin has a great and prosperous future we think. Thank you so much for your support! |

We are seeing good number of signup on the new wallet so far. We hope this helps a lot with any potential new retailers out there getting on board with Guncoin.
I played around with mine a bit and discovered that this has the potential to be an awesome tool, of course. Registration takes a mere few seconds, allowing someone or a business to have a wallet ASAP. Also, that I can use it as a "mobile phone wallet" that uses the web, by using my phones QR code reader and clipboard, pasting the receiving address into mine, then sending direct to another wallet. That was probably planned, but it was a nice surprise  Yes, so far it has been well received and we are seeing coins moving there minutes after people sign up. And yes, you can walk into a store and pay with this web wallet standing right there using your phone or their computer. While we feel it is very safe and secure, we have plans to add a few more features over time to add more value to and make it even more useful. Additionally, when we move to GUN Core V1.5 soon, this wallet will get upgraded to the new one immediately as well. So if you want to summarize what Team Guncoin has accomplished over the last month with community support....... 1) Upgraded to GUN Core V1.4 2) Locked in SEGWIT and CSV at 75% and way beyond. 3) Launched the Official Guncoin Mining Pool at http://guncoinpool.com4) Seen multiple real firearms related transactions using GUN at a major online auction site. 5) Launched the Official GUN Web Wallet at http://mygunwallet.com. All that in less than 10 weeks! Not bad I say.......We have updated the roadmap for V1.5 to include Bitcoin Core 0.16.x as well, since that is the current bitcoin core code available - that will bring us totally current with everything out and Lightning Network compatible. Yep, not bad at all, pretty good actually. Lots going on. Here is something that may relate to (4) Had some fun with it the other evening. https://i.imgur.com/jXfRpQX.jpgGlad to see you enjoying this Nice grouping |

We have several other Gunbroker sellers getting set up and ready to accept GUN as well, including several vendors whose entire operation in on Gunbroker. Once they are set up and ready to go, we will provide links to their stores there.

Not really, it seems like only the bad guys would be willing to pay the premium and take this longer route to get a gun. Anyone acquiring a firearm and abiding by all the laws of their state would pay about half the cost
Totally wrong on both comments! There is NO premium, not sure where you get that from. If you transferred from wallet to wallet - what is the cost?  You obviously have not bought guns per the laws in your state - the method of payment would make no difference - in fact, crypto clears much quicker. If you are going to post here, do your homework first if you are just trying to build your post counts. |

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 have never been given one or find one on their website. |

The article can link directly to the trading pair using this: https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Exchange/?market=GUN_BTCThere'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. |

Well, it may be a while before we get to $1. But we do have a few more very positive announcements planned over the next few weeks including another new partner. That should help support a higher price move.

I don't want to nitpick, but this is pretty important to make a good first impression. I could fix them, but who do I send a revised copy to if I did that? |

Well, we did not write the article, nor review it and it is published by someone outside of the immediate Guncoin team. For now, we are pleased to have the publicity and think it is a good article. |

I was pretty sure that it wasn't written by the Guncoin team. I'm very happy for the publicity of course. I just get annoyed when I read an article that appears to have been posted without any proof reading first. It's probably just my old school upbringing and perfectionist nature over reacting. |

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...  |

I was an editor for my high school paper. That was 25 years ago. (yeah, I'm not very old, just a little bit.)
That price prediction site says $0.94 in 5 years. I've seen that before, I think it pulls it's numbers out of thin air, because it predicts all the other coins that have since crashed to below zero. But I'll take it. $0.89 or $0.94. That's a lot of ammo.
