No, I don't think so......if your on Discord that explains why Mr. Higgins is such an asshole to anyone who posts on Bitcointalk?

Trust me you need not talk further!


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=822498.1580

Yes that is posts from this account in 2017, but it does not mean it was the same person as me.

It's in his source code still on Github.  

https://github.com/gapcoin-project/gapcoin-core

His last commit is still Dec. 10 last year!

I did actually Compile this and Verified it being in his Source Code!!!!

Sounds awesome Xal0lex,


I however don't use Windozer to try it out for you!


But I found playing with 2 different Miners makes no extra advantage in mining using CPU's.  

The CPU logic seems not to care and is more negative than positive.  

Just having the Distributed Computing using different Miner variables is the same as "2 Miners" at the same time!

Mr. Higgins Coded into Gapcoin-Core a script that regenerates and either destroys coins or shuffles them off to a sock puppet address.  I don't have the time or energy to track it down which.  Either way avoid using his Software!

After 1 Month of the knowledge of it, he has still not changed the Github Source Code. 

That is the only reason I am writing this!

The Script to steal/lose the coins would REGENERATE itself after sending coins. 

If you delete the script and send coins the transaction would go through normally. 

But the Script would regenerate, so you would lose coins again!

Mr. Higgins has done good ideas, and templates are to generate a lot of automated templates.  However that does not mean the hardware will accept them.  People can be tricked into accepting bad software which is where most errors occur is human error not hardware error.  Templates are to generate ideas, not to force merge ideas!  

I am actually using the Higgins idea to Mine different shifts on the same computer and just mined my first block doing it.

Using 2 wallets in 2 different databases and different ports.  


I am going to be experimenting with this for sure..........

Your Time here is based on shilling shitty hacked auto generated templates as "Development Sir".  It is not development.  You are trying to wait out everyone here with lack of development on the Gapcoin base code which you refuse to do 1 addition to.  

Instead you sit here and promote shit software that doesn't work properly for the main function of MINING PRIMEGAPS.

You were promoting the Death of Jonny Frey in your Gapcoin 9.4?

Why would you not try to build upon his code if you thought he was dead?


Trying to HardFork his work into Non-Functional code for it's primary purpose is not helping!



I want my backups from the start to work on the Blockchain in 1000 years, not be obsolete in 3 years!

---

Why would you NOT want to start your own Blockchain Higgins?

If you have all the Templates already set???

Make all your Gapcoin 20 HardFork into a New Blockchain that is Merge Mineable?

Higgins,

You should start a new Blockchain and add in whatever you can think of like Zcash, Namecoin ect....using the PrimeGap mining to MERGE MINE with Original Gapcoin.

Starting a new Blockchain is the same as a HardFork.  


Creating a Merge Mined Coin will support Original Gapcoin just as much as your new Blockchain.  


As I will never HardFork. (The Original Miner Works too good) You will end up in the same position, but lacking full control like ANN thread ect...!  

You probably can do the website on the cheap and have BitcoinFX promote the Merge Mining to save all the time effort to run a website for a coin ect............

After reading this post it reaffirms what I have thought for a long time.  It is worth the read and it is a big decision and possibly FATAL for a coin project to follow Bitcoin Core Code.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5322187.msg56515082


Gapcoin is at this juncture. 

I am the only one who has updated the Original Gapcoin Code from the ground.  It really would not be much more work for someone to fork my repository and build it up to Compile on Ubuntu and MX Linux.  And have someone generate a new Windows .exe zip file based on the updated code. 

I really see no future in making complex moves for small Bitcoin Forks.

If it's science than we should not care to imitate Bitcoin.  As Bitcoin is only about greedy bankers now.  It has nothing to do with overthrowing injustice and Cannabis Prohibition like what Dread Pirate Roberts achieved using Bitcoin. 

I think thats my final position on advancing along Higgins 16.3 than HardFork to 20.  Opinions don't matter though, if enough assholes get together and conspire they will kill anything off.

Linux error comes about again if starting the wallet again.  

Once you use the command ./gapcoin-qt -choosedatadir

It is only a one time pad use if you use 2 wallets.  



You have to use ./gapcoin-qt -choosedatadir and also for 16.3 ./gapcoin-qt -choosedatadir EVERY time to start.


Have a Blockchain before ever using Gapcoin 16.3.  And keep the Blockchain backup in 2 locations.  


Because I ran into the issue of starting the 16.3 Wallet and it pulled Automatically into the .gapcoinVersion9 Directory even though I did not set the directory there.  The 16.3 Wallet will pull it from when you set Version 9 Gapcoin Wallet.

To avoid this and prevent it from re-indexing the blockchain.  Set the command line option -choosedatadir everytime until Wallet transition is complete.


If the mistake is made, delete the blockchain in the Version 9 Gapcoin Directory and copy paste the Backup Blockchain.  The regular 16.3 Wallet Directory does not seem to care about re-indexing so it's not an issue if making a mistake there.


Realistically, I am probably talking to myself as probably not many Linux users here other than BitcoinFX and Higgins!



Gapcoin is stronger than it has ever been.  The Main problem is newbies don't know how to use .conf files and have to rely on the built in wallet nodes which expired in Jonn9 Wallet.  

BitcoinFX will promote it more or less, sooner or later!


FreeBitcoins.com and Freiexchange.com list GAP

Unnamed exchange also, but I honestly can't fathom anyone using their UI.  Freiexchange UI is bad too, but it is the Price linked to CoinPaprika and CoinGecko.

FreeBitcoins.com has by far the best Exchange and UI.  But it is not as popular and does not have the link to the indexers!

Higgins there might be a fatal flaw with the Mining!

In a short period of time it keeps generating the same blocks, but generating new tokens.  

It must still be generating a different PrimeGap inside the block hash even though it's mining the same block?

Not sure if I will continue mining because it is pretty bad after letting them run for a couple days.  Lots of Orphans and LOTS of repeat blocks.

I doubt there is a way to trouble shoot a generated template though!




The enemies have it all calculated out to prevent any competitor to Bitcoin.  Using their Templates is a good idea, and I think your a good programmer, but I think the people we are facing are far more calculating than any of us combined.  

If any project is to succeed I think it will have to be raised up from the ground up.  Which is the calculation they know will not happen.  At least not a fork of Bitcoin anyway.  Eth is different, and designed to spam Bitcointalk with Daps to coordinate the assault against Bitcoin Forks.  

Thanks Higgins!!!!!!!!


This will go very well I think now.



The Linux Instructions is even easier to run than the Windows instructions you posted.


     create .gapcoinversion9 folder

     cd gapcoin/src/qt

    ./gapcoin-qt -choosedatadir



That command at runtime will show the original popup Window and will let you choose the directory using the GUI. 

Insert a copy of the Blockchain inside the folder.

Create gapcoin.conf and use the commands along with your addnodes

port=60000
rpcport=60001


Successfully running 16.3 and 9.3 Gapcoin at the same time.


This will make Wallet change over a lot easier!

I understand Higgins thanks......

The point I was making is DON'T try to Mine with 16.3 Wallet BEFORE using the Version 9 Dumpwallet

I don't know if 16.3 wallet can be run normal and shut down, and then Version 9 wallet being able to be loaded again.




Use Dumpwallet and Higgins instructions BEFORE running 16.3 wallet.





But maybe it's just a Don't Mine with 16.3 wallet until transfer coins is complete.

But I can't go back to check that for sure at the moment.  



If you Trust FreeBitcoins.com they offer a reserve wallet address, but if they were hacked not a guarantee of getting anything. 

Not sure what you are referring to but I will try to answer.

 

You should find a encryption software like Tru-Crypt and Encrypt your Wallet.dat after Gapcoin is shutdown, using a random password generator program like Bitwarden.  Than you put your encrypted wallet.dat file into a New Folder.  Compress the New Folder which should generate a Tar.gz Zip file.  Encrypt the New Folder.Tar.gz using a program like Tru-Crypt. 

Now you can back up your Gapcoin Wallet in the Cloud.  If it's super important reverse the process to make sure it will De-Crypt and everything was encrypted properly.   



I think the important thing now is to Backup and Encrypt a 16.3 Gapcoin wallet.dat.   

Is it possible to remove the HD Wallet from the 16.3 Wallet?  Is it that desirable to have?  


I had to use a blockchain backup to restore the 16.3 wallet after trying to start Version 9 Gapcoin to transfer coins into new wallet.

Didn't wait for it 1 day to re-index the blockchain which is what it wanted to do after mining with 16.3 for 1 day.  Going back to Version 9 even with a Version 9 wallet makes it want to Re-Index the entire blockchain.  


Too much trouble probably.  


Keep a Pre-16.3 Blockchain Backup close by to restore Version 9 wallet.  I have not got around to it, but I am sure it will work, but it does not work with saving the blockchain after 16.3 wallet has mined to go backwards and restart Version 9 wallet.  It will but Re-Indexing is not ok for time.  

With a Pre-16.3 Blockchain backup Version 9 Wallets should just need to Re-Scan which takes only a few hours instead of over a day and it restarts from the start if you shut it down while Re-Indexing.

Hard to explain, but I am not looking back.  

A couple years ago while using a Israeli VPN I had Mossad steal a transaction from me for around 500,000 GAP.  Not sure if they got the private keys or if they are just Burned Coins.  As I was using Tor over the VPN, but it's possible they compromised Tor as well to steal the private keys.  The transaction was sent using Israeli VPN server over Tor.  Hopefully it's just Burned Coins anyway.  

I think the 16.3 Wallet is good for trying to adopt.  I think you should promote it now BitcoinFX.  It's solid mining ect........


The importing addresses will only be harder for new people if they start using the old wallets when they should be using the New one and never have to worry about the import issues.

I wish there was a better way for the wallet import. 

But I think it's best to get it out of the way and deal with the issues as they come up.  Promoting the old wallets will just be negative to the overall goal of getting new people to use Gapcoin. 

Thanks Higgins........it's too bad about Old Wallet not working with 16.3.   Is it easiest to transfer Coins into a new Wallet that is backed up? 

In 16.3 in-wallet mining seems to be working, no errors using 20 GB Memory.

Have not mined a block yet, but optimistic nothing will crash as it seems stable.  The previous error was quick to show up! 

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/crypto/hmac_sha512.cpp

Found the HMAC, looks like it's just as easy to upgrade the key size to 512 Bit Keys. 

This will make me happy enough to have everyone move up to 16.3.

But a new Windows build might need to be done. 



The HMAC is the most important part of Bitcoin, as it's key size is what matters most.  With a distributed Blockchain across the World.

I didn't see the Windows 16.3 on

https:Gapcoin.club


That's probably the best place to put it!


Well, you should try to re-introduce your Notary into your .20 Gapcoin Release.  


I think if enough Windows users switch to 16.3 they would than switch to your .20 Gapcoin.  


But organizing such a Hard Fork is dangerous with the current situation.  Not sure anything about other miners intentions.



FEEL FREE to step up to lead........"Build it and They Will Come"  From Field of Dreams


Can you make a 64 Bit HMAC with 512 Bit Keys for Higgins 16.3 Gapcoin Core?

Is there anyone here who can compile the Windows .EXE for Higgins New Wallet?


Most people seem to be windows users.


For Compiling on Linux, Higgins instructions are for the standard Bitcoin compile not Gapcoin compiling.

The key to compile Gapcoin is

git submodule init
git submodule update

It will not compile without getting the submodule



Start Gapcoin Install

sudo apt-get install git synaptic gdebi pkg-config

sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool autotools-dev autoconf libssl-dev libgmp-dev libmpfr-dev

sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev libminiupnpc-dev libqt4-dev libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler

sudo apt-get install libqt5gui5 libqt5core5a libqt5dbus5 qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools libprotobuf-dev libqrencode-dev

sudo apt install libcanberra-gtk-module libcanberra-gtk3-module

sudo apt install db5.3-util libdb5.3++-dev libdb5.3-dev




git clone https://github.com/gapcoin-project/gapcoin-core

cd gapcoin-core
git submodule init
git submodule update
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-incompatible-bdb --without-miniupnpc
make

Higgins 16.3 to compiles, I was going to test the 20.1 but it must be private for now while he works on it.


Been using a 64 Bit HMAC with Sha-512 512 Bit Keys instead of the standard 128 bit.  It is compatible with the current blockchain no breaks after months of testing.  The original Satoshi design of Bitcoin used the HMAC to be the key feature in the security of relaying messages.  

This is easily upgraded providing good security and it will further hamper ASIC development, as I don't think 32 bit ASICs could compute 64 bit Numbers, but I could be wrong.

The Newer Bitcoin which Higgins is developing is far better in a lot of ways, I love the Dandelion support.  But the HMAC has been rewritten completely and it would be a lot of work to troubleshoot the new way to make that upgrade as everything is ripped out or moved as far as I can tell.

Security would improve having 512 Bit Keys for the HMAC instead of 128 Bit keys which Bitcoin probably still uses.

So Gapcoin is more advanced than Bitcoin in some ways.  They will never stop arguing to test real development.

 

Money and "Internet" fame are what makes everyone drunk and to kill their own friends while drunk.


Excluding participants due to different perceptions of reality is wrong. 


I can guarantee everyone involved here.  Sinbad Gutherie is not stupid nor is he trolling. 


To ignore the absolute treacherous path that Alt-Coin markets have displayed everyone running for the money drunk with fame for the moment hoping to dump their bags to Goldman Sachs and company ect......


I know most don't nor could understand the intricate nature of financial chicanery, but their is an extensive history of it beyond the internet age, but which has invaded internet land with full force. 


I know this, there is no successful Bitcoin Code Clone that has ever been successful, and that is a FACT!


Even Namecoin which has everything on a golden platter, merge mining with Bitcoin, NO ONE CARES!  FACT!


Everyone wants the CIA approved Drug Coin a.k.a. Bitcoin.  Because Goldman Sachs and the Printing Press dictates the winners and losers.

It is a double edged sword.  Bitcoin has generated some good things and bad.  But it's foundation the so called Satoshi Vision was Good.  But his vision was quickly hijacked.  Bitcoin without Silk Road or Wikileaks is basically nothing. Bitcoin has had so many VAST thefts let alone the lack of understanding of most how to back up wallets ect....

It's fine, I don't care about dying without servants in the cold?  Why worry about worthless things?  Death will come eventually? 

Do you imagine fighting over simple things will bring about wealth? 

Wealth for the most part has ever come about by the Victorious Army.  With each Victorious Army, dictating the new terms.  Each until their fall.

SinbadGutherie,

well Alexa bot that responds when spoken to?


Anyway, this is the place to work out issues.  Everything open source needs to plow/till the internet soil before we can harvest the crop.


I remember another member while searching who is even more of a noted critical support of Gapcoin.  He payed 1 Bitcoin to list Gapcoin onto Cryptopia.co.nz after Poloniex de-listed gapcoin, but kept Riecoin listed.  After this failed assualt, as Riecoin distribution is bad Poloniex saw the "Math Coin" is no longer making money so they eventually de-listed Riecoin also.  Primecoin was listed on Poloniex also I think?   I don't know anything other than that which one got de-listed first Riecoin or Primecoin?

I want to say Primecoin was the last to be de-listed from Poloniex, but essentially they were the "Math/Science" crypto-exchange service.  Shortly after Goldman Sachs bought out Poloniex.


But without someone stepping up to navigate the new listing onto Cryptopia.co.nz Gapcoin would be disappeared a long time ago.

The Network Hash rate has went to 100 million PPS after breaking the World Record/a.k.a. PrimeObession.  Someone used a Amazon Cloud provider to take over the network.

Gapcoin has been around 8 Million PPS to 15 Million PPS for a long time.  The current 20-30 Million PPS is healthy. 


But no one will take much interest until this adopts ASIC's, and starts smashing records daily. 



Incidentally, if Gapcoin ever achieved ASIC' level.  The Coin supply would RAPIDLY RISE with the difficulty Rise. 


So, it would have to be based on Merit if Gapcoin continues or not.  As making money is not really an option here.  But middle range scamming as we have had is a highly evolved tactics to squeeze every last ounce of Satoshi's spirit out of Gapcoin.


The Distributed Nature of the Blockchain is ideal for Computer Researchers to collaborate.  However would they really want to forgo the use of their own 64-128 bit supercomputer PrimeGap Research to support a 32bit Crypto token? 


Or maybe I am wrong and the only Research is Private Government Computers allowed to research PrimeGaps and not Research Centers?  I don't know.  It would be interesting to know if anyone works around this area.
