Excellent news!  We have added a link to your site on our website on the Mining Pools links page.  Please note that this is a NOMP pool and the results of your mining efforts go straight to your wallet once they are confirmed.  Once again - thanks for supporting Guncoin!

Hello everyone,
 
I have added Guncoin Coin to my site!
This will be a 1% fee pool with P2Pool style mining.

The backup part is easy, add a line to run a backup script on completing the update, the script can run in the background once the check is done.  

The recovery part is a little more difficult, you have to check the integrity of the current data and 2 versions of the backup data (in case the wallet crashes while backing up, it reverts to the previous backup) before recovering.

The toughest part, is not bloating the backups..  If you time/date the filename there will be no issues with telling which is which and loading the latest un-corrupted backup, but deleting old backups so that they don't bloat the folder is another story.  That takes logistics, and a lot of programmers aren't into it.

The reason I suggest this, is that the PC my wallet is on is my daily driver pc.  Shit happens and it crashes enough (every week or so enough cat hair gets in the way of the cooling vents), that I back the folder up regularly so that it's not an issue.  But, from my near 20 years experience doing tech support for my friends and family, most people that aren't computer savvy enough to backup manually and will turn away because it takes hours to reload.

Plug and play, is what keeps people using something.  As soon as it gets complicated it turns some off, and the more complicated the more it turns away.

Interesting idea and maybe not that hard to do.  I have started a list of potential upgrades and will add that one for sure.

I have a suggestion for you to add to the wallet.

You mention in the PDF to do backups as often as every day.  How about adding a routine to the wallet so that every time the wallet is opened, it updates (which is normal), then backs up the wallet and blockchain when it's done.  Then, when the user's wallet or pc crashes, it gives them the option to revert to backup (copy the backup files and restart the app to let it update from last backup), or they can wait to download the entire blockchain and start over which takes hours (and eventually will take days).

That would be a plus, if gun could users could pretty much guarantee no coin loss, and no super long recovery on a computer crash.

Yes, we see it now just showing up - thanks so much and very glad to see you back with the group here!

donation done. And do not " " me LOL
It was just the first time I talk about "address" in cryptoworld and someone else thinks about "e-mail"  
...but nevermind; just be a good dev  

OK, we are going to say the website move and update is done - we have one page that still needs some updating - for other than that everything should be there.  You will also note that the new Users Guide and Classified Ad site are now linked in on the main menu.  We hope these are key attractors for newbies coming to Guncoin for the first time.  We also wish to thank those who provided inputs on that Users Guide.  The results are what you find there on the site now.  We will try and keep it updated if we find errors in it or add new features over time.  So just FYI, if you remember when we started the transition to our group, we posted our to-do list - so here is what we have got done in the past few weeks.

1) Added 4 new nodes, retiring 3 that were owned by the previous owner.
2) Moved the website to our servers and taken over email accounts with a Cloudflare front-end to protect the site.
3) Redesigned the website with a new look and added more information.
4) Created and released a Users Guide.
5) Created and released a Classified Ads site for GUN owners.
6) Taken ownership of Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter accounts
7) Created dozens of new banners and buttons (under Links on the new website) for us to use as well as those retailers who choose to accept gun in the future

So as you can see, it has been a busy month for us and we are pleased with what we have done in solidifying the infrastructure for a very good coin with strong support.  Moving forward now, we are always open to more ideas to make GUN better. But here is our plans for the next few weeks.
a) Thorough review of the coin code - looking for opportunities to make it more efficient or add more features easily - nothing major at this point (although open to idea - some have already been sent to us)
b)Will start pursuing banner advertising on firearms websites to increase our visibility
c) Will hire an ad firm to help promote GUN in areas where it has not been promoted before
d) Create a GUN Quick Start Guide to supplement the Users Guide.
e) Get out the Vote campaign to move GUN up the voting list on some of the bigger exchanges.
f) Take over the remaining forum accounts from previous owners, including this one

Again, we appreciate your support here and on the exchanges - let's help keep those prices up and get some real retailers out there to use GUN !!!

OK

Created a new one just for this - donations are always welcome!

OK, should be working right now.  We had forgot to check some boxes......

...i was looking for wallet address...for a donation... Now you asked this question I'm not so sure anymore xD xD xD

What address are you looking for??? my email address at guncoin.info???

OK, we are looking at it - think it has to do with a disconnect when we added the SSL certificate.  There are some script changes that are required and we may not have made all of them.  We have used the script before successfully, it just has dozens of configuration settings to get it right.  Looks like we missed one or two.

I entered all the required info, none of the optional.

Many users will sign up this way, so having it function with minimal information is a must.  If there's a particular part that it needs, change it from an optional to a required field.

Hi fellas, long-time no see. I see lots of changes in here;
I liked the old dev-team, it gained my trust and I hope this new one will do it too.
I'm a kind of romantic guy, so I'll do the first step LOL
So I invite the new-dev-team to write its gun address as signature (or post it); I'll make a little donation of 100k guns.

Hmmmm, did you enter your area?  I have seen it on another site, show up like that, if it does not know what state, etc. you are from. If not, I will have a look at it in the morning.....

Well, I'm back home from Montreal, and testing out the sales site.  Went to post an ad, and...



Stuck there..  (obviously using firefox)

username = same as here.

New Banner Farm for Merchants and GUN users......

Move in progress - hopefully, should have it all taken care of today. Please be patient, while we build it and get everything on it.  We will post again here when done!

Thanks for the heads up..
