He wont answer, as you all can probably tell, its me who has proposed a takeover, twice now.
I sent him a msg at least a year ago, but couldn't get organized at the time. Then about 6 weeks ago, I hit him up again, but No reply whatsoever!

So I sent another msg a few days ago, saying - ok you dont want to sell, well ok thats fine.
Gave him a fair whack of GC and told him we need to come together with strategies to bring GC up, annnnnddd same old same old - NO REPLY!

I know I ripped him a new one, but like you say their's just no incentives here to buy. He/she either has no clue what to do or like I said walked away years ago.

Look, I've tried to get the reigns, I've asked for support from miners and holders and basically have received no feedback whatsoever, just Zombie's mentality thinking the Dev is going to preform a DEVJesus one day.

Like I said once Cryptopia drops it, were gone! POOF, like the DEV!

The Dev's refrain over the years of this coin has been: If you are waiting on someone to make you rich you are going to be waiting a long time. He is right, but he obviously has no stake in the outcome of this coin. From economics: People respond to incentives. So I ask you, Dev, what is your incentive to keep this coin alive? Because it seems like you have none. This is understandable, especially if you don't have any Guncoin yourself. Maybe someone else needs to take it over if that is case.

I found myself another graphics card a while ago and added that to GUN's mining hash over at The Blocks Factory, YAY!

 Anyway...what I really wanted to share was a few thoughts about GUN:
 I have printed some paper wallets, and some stickers to give away as I try to explain GUN to some local gunshops and to whomever's path I cross that I feel may be interested.

 I believe it would be easier, and GUN probably taken a little more seriously if we had the resources readily available to legitimize/explain it.
 Imagine...
 Me, "Hey, check this out, this GUN currency is awesome"
 Other, "What is it?, what does it do?"
 Me, "It is a new type of currency, a way to transfer value peer to peer, for gun enthusiasts"
 Other, "Show me"
 Me, "Sorry, I cannot actually do that without being behind my computer, but someday it could be something big for people/businesses enjoying/using firearms, let me TRY to explain..."
 Other, ""
 .....VS.....
 Me. "Pulls out a sweet looking paper wallet and transfers GUN to it via my phone, and maybe also hand them another pre-valued paper wallet that I loaded/printed earlier"
 Other, "Wow, that's awesome, your own gun money?"
 Me, "Yep, and still in it's early stages, let me answer any questions you may have"
 
 Tools such as an android wallet, and a desktop wallet that could print paper wallets would be great to have.
 We could have a preprinted empty wallet and transfer GUN in a matter of seconds onto it from our phones as a demonstration of how easy GUN is to use.
 A web wallet would make it easier for newcomers also, making it as simple as logging on to a website and then transferring GUN from there, hopefully being able to import private keys from paper wallets they may have received, and not having to download anything to become involved.

 Not having the resources to promote is one of the likely reasons GUN seems to be slipping to me.

 My thought is that we need to crowdsource the necessary funds to pay for whatever it takes to make, and run an android wallet, and fix the current QT wallet so that one might be able to mine directly from it (you actually can though, with your CPU, under the mining tab, but I am more referring to using your computer's video card), along with the printing of paper wallets (preferrably with an option of using your own background image which would allow the "printing of one's own money" for ranges, gunshops, promotions, etc...).

 I do understand that the ability to do that last (print from the walet) may be extremely technically challenging, but maybe we can put together a paper wallet generator where we can easily substitute our own individual, custom background images into.

 An update to the wallet that automatically adds a fee which goes toward the expenses, development, and promotion of GUN would also be extremely beneficial in my opinion.
 Considering how much and how many things gun folks pay for already, this would be a miniscule expense for a tool such as GUN to have at one's disposal.

 I believe that it is not up to the "dev" to make things happen, other than keeping the website and social media accounts active, up to date, and maybe shaking us up now and then, letting us know that we can't sit around and think something is going to happen by itself.
 We have to do the doing, but maybe need him/them to let us know that, and share what ideas they may be able to impliment with our help...some organization.
 No new exchanges are going to accept GUN until they see positive activity from the GUN community.

 To me, this looks a good time to try something other than wait around, since GUN isn't going to get much lower in value, with not much to lose in that regard, and lots to gain.
 I believe that GUN is a sleeper of a coin that has great potential, considering that it is technically running smoothly, fits a niche market that has compassionate beliefs in freedoms, and has quite a bit of time left with close to the initial block rewards for many to get involved without feeling like they missed the boat.

 Anyway...thanks for reading

TLDR: about the same as my last post, just different words.

r$served

Nope, posters like that help no one and do more harm than good for the coin - they have their own selfish interests at heart.  We appreciate your support.

I added guncoin support to my vanitygen fork for making custom prefix addresses.

Anyone care to test it?  Be sure to report back to github repo with issues.  I won't really be checking this thread.

Works with vanitygen and oclvanitygen

No censorship in this thread, that's good. As for the coin, the concept is still unique.

We have nothing new to report.  Getting delisted on Bleutrade was indeed unfortunate.  Foul mouth whiners do nothing to help the coin for sure.  Whatever is posted here is read by the exchanges....I have said many times before, if you are waiting for me to make money for you, you are going to be waiting a long time. My job is to keep the coin alive which I do.   It is the community that makes the coin prosper.  If the community and users sit around and whine and do nothing, the coin will indeed die.  I do not see the Bitcoin developer out posting every day........Nuff said - hope all are having a good year so far!

If you take this post as a negative, you are part of the Guncoin problem.  If you get what I am saying - thankyou......

Are you proposing a hostile takeover?

Being delisted from Bleutrade was unexpected.
Didn't see that one coming since I thought that they gave warning in regard to such matters.
This looks like quite a wake up call.
Users who are interested in GUN trading should go on over to Cryptopia and show some support.

A few thoughts:
We should probably all work together and focus our energy and passion towards promoting the coin.
I too would like to see some more activity on the social networks, (at least FB for me, since I don't use the others) but we all may be a little guilty
by not throwing attention that way ourselves.
GUN is a decentralized currency, and technically anybody can do whatever they would like to do to promote it.
Some things do need organization and planning though.
It would be nice to have more resources to work with, (I know...a big list here), such as the new wallets, an android wallet, web wallet, and whatever it takes to make sure the systems
are up and running to support those (servers and whatnot? at least for the android and web wallet stuff I believe), ability to print nicer paper wallets for giveaways, etc...
Maybe crowdsource from our community what it would take to make things happen since it would be much easier to promote and to be validated that way.
If we put our best efforts forward and GUN gained some momentum, educating the firearms community of this option, the payback could be awesome.


TL:DR We got a shock today, let's do some positive things to help GUN.

f$%king useless!

Thanks for the update sir

Thanks for the update. I agree, this coin is very undervalued considering the massive niche market we are in. I think it's just a matter of time before people see value.

I understand this is not exactly what you asked for, but here is my quick update.

It appears as if the blockchain is smoothly running along.

There are still lots of inexpensive coins out there.

I believe this currency should be a "no-brainer" for gun enthusiasts who understand some money/value/risk/computer stuff, to try out and get involved with.
Considering how much $$$ we put into our firearms, accessories, and related endeavours, this would represent a minuscule amount in relation to most expenses.

Sort of a fun vote of conscious for firearms/freedoms also.

For my part, I have a graphics card going and have put together a printout of the U.S. Bill of Rights (page sized and framable) on decent paper, that I plan placing instructions, public, and private addresses onto the back of, to give away to the local gunshops and at upcoming gun shows.

Wishing GUN lots of luck while it continues to stay under the radar.

thanks of cooprative team and cooprative official facilities for its best users as well i am also.
