Is the blockexplorer for GUN down or not up to date ?

Thanks for that!!

The blocks factory going down for almost half a day showed the need for another pool, since Cryptopia seems to be dragging its feet with the Guncoin pool not being opened since March when Guncoin was listed there.

I'm very disappointed in that..  But it is being worked on, read my post from may 8th. 

The forum is up and being configured, although it's not open to the public yet.  Probably another week.

The point of sale wallet project is in queue in my coder buddy's workload. (he's freelance, so the higher paying stuff comes first)

Rome wasn't built in a day, and guncoin can't be dragged out of stagnant status in a day either..

Your contribution toward forward progress would be appreciated, and much more helpful than a post complaining. 

New NOMP pool available for GUN:

http://coincave.eu (only 1.5% fee)

coin was released over 1 year ago and still nothing has happened to make this coin worth having!

That is great news for you and for Guncoin - sorry about the shoulder.  Can't wait to see what you are going to do for your second day!

Well, I have some interesting news, but the timing is purely coincidental..

I picked up a buddy of mine this afternoon, and went to the local gun club.  How I shot was so-so for the 3 rounds I fired, as I brought my long range rifle (264 winmag) to try out the new bi-pod.  That worked really well, but it tore up my injured shoulder..

So, the rest of the time while my buddy was shooting, we talked about his plans for the group of 11,000 worldwide avid gun enthusiasts that he runs, and sponsorships, and events, and transferring funds with the issues involved.

He is in the process of hiring my other buddy (who has already worked on the guncoin wallet) to host his servers as he's rapidly outgrowing where he is because it's growing at nearly 20% per month..  (there's also employees of several gun manufacturers in this group)

He also knows that I've been involved with Guncoin since the beginning and that I wouldn't be involved if I didn't believe in it, so we're working Guncoin into the mix..  Guncoin will be sponsoring events, and given out as awards, and get worldwide exposure in front of the intended crowd.

The first event will be in August or September, he's working out the details on scheduling that.  In the meantime, we will be working on paper wallets, a wallet payment system via QR codes, and some other stuff.

Stay tuned, I will update as I know stuff.  

Happy first anniversary Guncoin..

While we have not posted here in a few weeks, we have continued to watch the altcoin markets and the GUN interest in forums and exchanges.  Additionally, we have never stopped mining it or promoting it since we took over ownership and became the primary developer about 9 months ago.  One important characteristic that we have observed with some of the successful coins out there is a high level of decentralization associated with them.  For example, while there is a bitcoin, litecoin and dogecoin website, there is not one owner or developer that you could readily identify - they are decentralized.  An advantage of owning those coins is that all our eggs are not in one basket by any means.  There are more than one, if not dozens of developers out there, promoting and marketing these coins as well as developing applications for them.

We have gone to great lengths to make GUN a successful and technologically current coin and generate interest in many areas.  We have been successful in many areas and had doors slammed in our face in others.  As I have posted repeatedly, if you are waiting on us alone to put GUN in every Gunstore in America and accepted at every range in your neighborhood, you are going to be waiting a long time.  We are of course limited by geography and resources.  We need your help and EVERYONES help to make GUN successful. 

So we will be taking a big step for us and for GUN in adding one of our most popular forum members to our development team to decentralize us a bit more and expand our geographic reach even more.  To be honest - he posts here more than we do and has supported GUN from day one as well as helping anyone sometimes faster than we can. We are stretched very thin and are anxious for the fresh ideas he will bring to the GUN team as he has always brought to the GUN community.  So from this point forward, please consider "damm315er" as a member of the GUN Team.  I think with his help, we can cover a lot more ground than we have to this point and you will GUN in a lot more hands.  Please give him your supports as you have so wonderfully done for me.  LOL, just to be clear, we are NOT going anywhere by any means, we are just expanding the team to allow us to do more things for GUN with your help.  Thanks damm315er for your long term and future support!

Yes, that is correct.  It is either a firewall or anti-virus issue that is blocking our site, or perhaps if this is at work, your employer has websites with "gun" in the URL blocked - yes, there are some like that.

Try disabling the firewall for a minute to try going there, or try going there through a proxy.

I wonder if this is an internet service provider thing? or is it an individual computer thing?

This is the only website that it happens to for me, so am happy that it still works for others.

I will put it on my list of things to learn to understand.

Access is fine here to www.guncoin.info, either with or without the www. part, maybe you're in a block of blacklisted ip's?

Hey Everyone,

First, just thought that I would give the heads up that I have a little GUNcoin giveaway happening tomorrow over on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/cryptospread/comments/335jmd/patriots_day_guncoin_giveaway/
so please feel free to drop by.

Second, starting since a few months ago, I have been unable to log into guncoin.info from my personal computers (three separate ones, using two different internet accesses) this is what I get:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I can still view from my phone though.

I did not change anything in regard to firewalls, etc... I actually do not know how to give permission to do so if that is the issue, any advice on how to make that happen would be appreciated.

Thanks

Off to the Syracuse gun show, with a bunch of guncoin stickers to hand out.. 

http://www.syracusegunshow.com/

Very good - appreciate all the support that we can get.

You are right. Everyone has their 9-5 and has to support themselves, and you are right the stickers and patches are great advertisement tools. The devs don't have to give up their day jobs, but maybe we should put together a project to fund a small PR group that could go around the country doing promotion.?

I will do what I can too. I sing the praises of GUN every time I meet a fellow enthusiast.

DITTO  !!!  It takes an entire community to make a coin successful !

Thanks so much for your input and supporting GUN.  Keep in mine that GUN is a decentralized coin or tries to be.  Meaning, the dev team cannot be everywhere are once and do everything to make money for everyone else.  We do have GUN sticker and GUN patches for sale.  Those are great conversation starters at a GUN show.  A patch on a hat or s sticker on an ammo case will go a long way in establishing credibility.  the fact that we have survived for nearly a year and no one has disappeared with all the coins or cashed them in is a good thing.  The blockchain is strong and mining continues at a steady rate.  The fluctuations in GUN prices is really typical of most coins that survive. 

Many of us have full time jobs elsewhere.  Traveling around the country sitting in booths at Gunshows is not going to happen if you are waiting for us to do it.  We are active in our geographical area and are hoping that those around the country are doing the same.

I think so too, unfortunately working 60 hour weeks at work doesn't give me a lot of time to bring attention to the coin. 

It takes more than just a couple people to make it successful, your help would be greatly appreciated. 

Has there been any work to get the NRA interested in Guncoin? I am sure there has, but I have heard little on any results. I think we have been focusing too little on the big guys, and although the grassroots is where it starts, we really need advertising. DRK soon to be DASH has been doing an excellent job at PR, although they have the funding which is instrumental in their success, I believe that GUN can do the same. I realize that GUN is mostly a US initiative, but to make this a success story we have to rev the engines in the PR department. Has there been movement where we have booths set up at gun shows? I think education at gun shows and possibly brokering deals at gunshows using GUN as a medium..I know most people carry cash, but  we maybe able to broker through some of the vendors with possible premiums given to vendors that use GUN coin as a sales medium..

These are just some thoughts...I still believe this coin is a great coin with a great idea.
