Goldcoin Treasury Release v0.15.0

Goldcoin Treasury Update:

There is a reason that most PoW projects ultimately die, and that's because there's no inherent funding mechanism built into the protocol. Developers cost money - workers, advertising, offices, systems, exchange listings, and so forth - the same. And without funding, a project cannot survive.

We have a practical solution and present it here in version 0.15.0.

Bitcoin ABC recently solved this by one approach of taking a percentage of the block reward. This is our bold experimental solution.

This upgrade is a simple consensus rules update that will fund a treasury with 1.1 billion GLC by means of a superblock. The coins will be immediately locked in a multi-sig protected wallet and not available to markets. A board of directors will decide the timing of any and all expenditures (or future coin buybacks).

The leveraging of RSUs will also play a major role, attracting new talent without diluting circulation.

We encourage all users, service providers, and exchanges to code review and update in order to remain compliant with the Goldcoin network. Legacy software will not be supported after Sep 15.

If you have any questions, there is information and support available on Discord: https://discord.me/goldcoin
