I need some help and support from our non-USA international community.  I was approached by a group this morning who has the ability and desire to sell GUNCOIN using credit cards.  While on the surface, this sounds like a great idea, it is totally unavailable to USA users.  So for starters, being in the USA, I cannot check it out, much less see how it works or what all is required of the users who sign up for it. They are located in SE Asia and are basically buying GUN on Cryptopia or whatever exchanges it is on, marking it up and reselling it.  I have no problem with this or whatever markup they want to apply - but it seems this may do two things for GUN, create a new demand for GUN at the exchanges and second, give users who do not want to deal with the exchanges another option to acquire GUN (except those in the USA).  Even better, they have an API, that could be embedded into sellers websites (except in the USA).  So for our international community, please give me your feedback on what you find at:

https://indacoin.com/en_GB/change/buy-guncoin-with-cardusd.


Looking for some feedback from USA users as well.  FYI, according to our block explorer, about 48% of GUN users are in the USA.  So besides creating additional demand for the coin, it could benefit over half of GUN users.

That site is reachable from the US through tor browser.

I have been using versions of the tor browser and tor/privoxy setup for over 15 years now, more info on the tor browser - https://www.torproject.org/

For those who follow us on Telegram, you will notice an endless group of those who offer to "help" us get on exchanges to make our price go up.  Well, for starters, they all want BTC or something and when I ask for them to actually email me a formal proposal from an exchange email address, they seem to disappear.  So this is a heads up, NOT to give any of these people anything unless you OK it with us first....... it is NOT like we are giving you permission, our goal is to protect you and the group.  Typically, once we tell them No thanks, they will contact someone else and go after them with the same proposition.

We are in conversations with two other exchanges now and think one will list us very soon - we hope - they are new and popular - so we are looking forward to that.  Keep in mind, with all these exchanges, the #1 priority is that they accept USA customers, if they do not, we have zero interest in paying for access to something that we can see and use ourselves.  We continue to search and research new options for exchange and payment gateways and are always happy to review any that get posted here.

All that being said, Bushstar thinks V1.5 will be ready early within the week - we will keep you posted.

I think it's safe to say that 90% or more of the "offers" and propositions out there are scams.  If it doesn't look professional, or if it seems to good to be true it's best to just ignore it (especially in crypto).

Absolutely correct. We are very aware of all the scams out there.  I week does not go buy that someone does not solicit us for something.  If we turn them down which happens in most of the cases, they typically hit on someone else.  So pay attention!

We are in the final stages of checking out GUN Core V1.5 and all looks great so far.  Once this testing is complete, we will build all the wallets and release them in later this week ahead of schedule.  GUN Core V1.5 has a LOT of new and exciting features including SEGWIT addressing and multi-wallet capability (within one wallet).  It is VERY fast as well.  Watch for the formal release soon!.

Android wallet? or Coinomi app support coming up too?

The online wallet (GUN Web V1.0) looks and works fine on Android or any phone.  An actual phone app is a low priority as a result. Probably later this year once we get more done that is more important.

I was just gonna plug my site and head out but I see you warned people of shady folks and I wanted to reinforce that a bit. I thought people were shady back in 2013 (dont get me wrong they were) but the amount of scammers now is insane. Greed brings out the worst in people so be careful with your coins guys.

Lightspeedmining.com has been hosting Guncoin since december 2017. We offer 1 Guncoin per block to the blockfinder distributed out of our fees fund (0.25%). We are now bumping up our block finder reward for Guncoin from 1 gun to 2 gun per block. So if your interested in a no bullshit pool with low fees. Please dont hesitate to swing by and check us out

We have also added 1k more block finder rewards to the Phoenixcoin pool as that seems to be a popular pool as well.

[GuncoinInfo]

OK, with a few minor tweaks, GUN Core V1.5 is now complete and Bushstar is building the wallets as I write this.  I expect to have them available by the weekend at the latest.  Keep in mind that this release includes Segwit type addressing, so it is probably a good idea for you to read up on that to avoid confusion.  Additionally, for any pools or exchanges, upgrade is essential.  And a new plus, you can now run multiple GUN wallets on the same computer........and it is faster!   Watch for the release !

We are pleased and proud to announce the release of GUN Core V1.5. This is a huge day for Guncoin as with this release, we are now current and up to date with Bitcoin Core 0.16.0. This release is packed full of exciting features - some obvious, some subtle. But all are important as they make GUN a technologically current coin, as has always been our goal.

This release adds a new script (P2SH) address prefix and all addresses generated will use it by default. The prefix for script now begins with a G but is still different from regular P2PKH addresses which also begin with a G. P2PKH uses Base58 prefix 39 and P2SH uses Base58 prefix 38. Exchanges, pools and other services will be asked to update to this new version of Guncoin to allow people to withdraw to the new address.

 - P2P networking refactored with focus on concurrency and throughput
 - Chainstate database is now per-output instead of a per-transaction model
 - Full UTXO cache now used
 - Reduced redundant script validation
 - LevelDB upgraded to 1.20
 - Keypool refill sped up
 - ZMQ On Windows
 - Network Activity Toggle

Since we are following the Bitcoin Core (not cash) protocol, does this mean in the future the Gun Coin network will have Layer 2 lighting payment channel implemented on top of its' BlockChain?

That is our desire.  A fast and reliable method for firearms sales and transactions has always been the end goal for the original Guncoin.

I've installed the Guncoin mac wallet and also the Linux wallet on a Linx laptop.  I've generated new addresses, but TheBlocksFactory & Cryptopia say that they are invalid addresses.  This is after a complete sync.  Is this because they are running on old wallets?

Sorry, for taking so long to respond - I travel frequently and it sometimes take a while to get computer access again.  So I think you got your answer from Bushstar on the telegram channel already.  I will repeat it just for others who venture through here and experience the same thing.  The new GUN V1.5 client can send to all Guncoin addresses, it is older versions of the wallet that cannot send to the new P2SH addresses.  So in theory, the new code is backward compatible, but in reality not so much from a network perspective.  There is nothing odd or bad with this, it is designed this way and you can educate yourself on the new Segwit addressing scheme that we have now moved towards at the bitcoin core site.  Sooooo, we need all the pools and the exchanges to get upgraded as soon as possible to the new code.  Our GuncoinPool.com mining pool will be upgraded this weekend and the SSL certificate updated as well.  Thanks for all your support and patience as we continue to move forward - and special thanks to Bushstar for another great job with V1.5.

Guncoin has been around now for over 4 years.  You can find out most of what you need to know on our website at http://www.guncoin.info.  Thanks for joining the community!

[Irene Janet]

It's an interesting project, I just hope it protects people from unscrupulous people.

[GuncoinInfo]

We do have the web wallet update in progress now as well.  This will officially be GUN Web V1.1 when released per the current roadmap.  This will update the node there to GUN V1.5 and add AJAX to the site so it refreshes much better.  There will be a few more additions that we will announce when we get closer to the release date.

Oooh, I like the segwit coins in a native segwit address.

[Ryan Ciaheatp]

I joined this plan. I'm interested to watch how the developers realize the plan!
 Good luck fellows!
