The new GCC wallet version 2.3.0.0(1) has implemented code security fixes that required a hard-fork from the previous wallet. This means YOU NEED TO UPDATE TO IT as any transactions you make with the old wallet will not be accepted by the GCC blockchain.

General Update Information

Security GCC wallet update has been completed and all fixes have been successfully implemented. In cooperation with cryptocurrency exchanges we could finish this process with a COINBURN. Along with the update release, the amount of GCC in circulation decreased from 2.1B to 1.6B and the maximum supply has decreased from 2.4B to 1.8B.

Such a large security update of GCC wallet was necessary as it had not been updated for an extended period and prior to introducing new functions, security fixes had to be implemented. In the fast changing blockchain environment code fixes occur regularly, from small projects to long-established cryptocurrencies. Our cryptocurrency code had to undergo a large review before we could move forward with our plans for development. The code is now secure and ready for all the new functions we planned to equip GCC with. Together with the exchanges we could accomplish the process successfully.

We would like to thank the GCC community for their support and feedback!

What else is coming this week?

We are going to release a newer GCC blockchain explorer with a refreshed design and a modern UX that gives you a more convenient and pleasant using experience.

Nova Exchange, Cryptopia and C-CEX has already received new GCC code on Github — stay tuned for the news when they’re fully updated and ready to resume trading.

IMPORTANT: Please DO NOT send any coins to/from exchanges before they officially announce that their GCC wallet has been updated!
