Couple of questions

I have a old wallet cold storage, saved the wallet.dat file. I can just import that/copy that file over to the new wallet version and be OK right? Or do I need to do something special? Havent touched that one in like 5-6 months.

With the latest wallet version it says Syncing Headers in bottom left corner than stays seemingly stuck at last received block, which was 5 days ago it says. One time I left it like this for a long while and it completed sync but IDK how long that took. Its abnormal to me cause the guncoin wallet would sync so fast usually leave it open and itd complete sync within 3-5 minutes (depending on how far its been since I opened it last)

This newest wallet took some time to initially sync after reindexing, maybe a good day.
To answer your question though...I believe so.
That said, what I would try is:
Make sure that you have a backup of that original "wallet.dat" file.
Drop that into your Guncoin folder, most likely under "Your User Name/AppData/Roaming/Guncoin".
But I WOULD NOT be overwriting any wallet.dat file that may have different addresses in it, ie...newer deposits, if you have multiple wallets.
Download the newest version, and start her up.
It should install, reindex, and sync, but take a while this first time.

Should be quick as usual after that.
There was some good discussion regarding some of this on the Telegram for GUN last week.

I have had Guncoin since its inception and I still don't have a clue on how to update. Can anyone give me a tutorial?

1) Backup your existing wallet.
2) Download the new V1.5.1 from Github
3) Run it on your computer.

That is pretty much it newbie....

We have over 60% of the community running GUN V1.5.1 now. We need the other 40% to upgrade their wallets from V1.4 or V1.5 as soon as possible. Please makes sure you re-index as required.

in a week or so, you should simply release another update that refuses to connect with wallets older than v1.5

that 40% will never know to update because they will never read bitcointalk or other channels until things stop working for them.

So you want an operational fork running a different blockchain - I do not think so. 100% will never switch, however, older wallets will disappear over time due to inactivity or they just never had any coins in them to start with. If we can get to 90%, I am happy. We tweet it every day on Twitter and on Telegram and several times a week here and on Facebook. That should be adequate we hope.

A week passed and the cryptopia a very long time to update wallet Cry

:'(Why don't you create a discord channel ? It would be a good idea and it's not difficult)

We can not push Cryptopia - they will update when they have time. We are on Twitter, Telegram, BitcoinTalk here and Facebook for Social media.

Im think that everyone who can see should fix this announcement in big red letters in the first message. So that immediately upon entering the first page where all the information above was this advertisement.
Otherwise, even update 90% will not be achieved.

Team Guncoin is releasing a mandatory security patch upgrade - GUN Core V1.5.1. This is required due to a recent Bitcoin Core Team announcement of a vulnerability that was discovered last week in 0.16.0. As a result, Bitcoin Core is now at 0.16.3 and that includes the patch to eliminate the risk of the vulnerability to be exploited.

https://bitcoincore.org/en/2018/09/20/notice/

If you are running 1.5 and have already synced past the block with the illegal TX then you will need to start 1.5.1 with reindex=1 in your conf file, remember to remove that line before the next time you start. We have had Cryptopia to put GUN in Maintenance mode UNTIL the majority of the blockchain is on the new code. We will also update the seed nodes and the GUNCOINPOOL.com mining pool as well. We will be updating website and OP here shortly.

https://github.com/guncoin/guncoin/releases/tag/v1.5.1

All wallets have now been updated and are available on the website as well as from the GitHub link above. Please upgrade as soon as you can.

Thanks for the announcement. Now you can fix it. It's good that despite the problems the solution was found and everything is fixed. Excellent work for many projects you need to take an example from you.

Thanks for the kind words - total team effort!

I understand that, these trades have been made though, or was there some kind of alarm triggered that halted everything? If so, props to cryptopia. Hope the culprits didn't run off with that big buy wall.

It is unclear to us as what if anything Cryptopia or users lost there. The new code prevents it from happening again and makes the coin that much stronger.

Ouch, just checked the cryptopia chart, looks like 25000000 were dumped on the 25th.

In reality no - that is one of the reasons for the recent code update.

Wait, so we need to resync the chain, since the current one has been exploited?

edit, using 1.15.1.0, it's not syncing, getting this

"ERROR: CSyncCheckpoint::CheckSignature() : verify signature failed"

That message is the old checkpoints still being passed around and rejected, that's the expected behavior.

Hello when the cryptopia open input and output gun ?

Cryptopia has acknowledged receiving our new code and will be updating us on their exchange as soon as they can. There are other alt coins that had the same problem and Guncoin is in the queue to get upgraded.
