It's a plant - Its natural.
Why should a government be able to dictate a natural growing plant as illegal?
There are so many positives to marijuana consumption.
So, yes it shouldn't have been made illegal in the first place.

Thank you for this, I just stumbled my way thru it a few hours ago. So far so good, I decided on 16 instances - averaging 108h.

Thanks for all the info. Is there any actual use for "gaps". i.e. having a record of all of them etc. I couldn't find any "tangible" use. I like coins that actually provide something, especially when I can mine with just an old computer. 3 blocks now so that's fun.

The original developer no longer being with us became a sticking point, although it is certainly possible to move forward.
That almost always ends up killing a coin. People want a "leader", especially for others to do everything for them while they sit back and make money while crying about how nothing is happening.

Gapcoin was launched almost during peek altcoin season
That may be why I missed it. So many coming out it was hard to keep track of them all.

We have been delisted from exchanges without any real reason other than a lack of trading volume and development.

ICO's and scam projects have been seemingly more attractive to 'investors'.
Yep. Just goes to show people are only here to make money.


"But how are prime gaps useful?

Prime numbers are interesting for lots of mathematicians around the globe, and they're also important to every day cryptography (see RSA).

Researches about prime gaps could not only lead to new breakthroughs in the bounded gap, it may also help proving the Twin Prime Conjecture and maybe even the millennium problem, the Riemann hypothesis. Who knows? "

Why should I care about prime numbers?

"That depends on who you are and what you're doing.

If you're a mathematician, you should care because it's a very important part of mathematics. If you're a computer scientists, especially one that works on cryptography, then you should care as well. If you're just a normal person who finds mathematics interesting and beautiful, then you should care because prime numbers is one of the most interesting and beautiful area of mathematics.

If you're none of the above, feel free not to care Smiley "

Possibly numerous applications within applied mathematics ...

"Applied mathematics is the application of mathematical methods by different fields such as science, engineering, business, computer science, and industry.

Not everyone. I gave up on making profit a long time ago lol. I prefer to support coins with causes I support. Folding @ home is a good example, so is this coin. I love tinkering around with different coins anyway. This is math - so I'm naturally interested.

Well said. I love math, always have. I have a tendency to lean towards coins such as this. Plus folding@home as well. I'm actually mining gapcoin and primecoin at the moment - I'll be more than happy to point my GPU rigs to gapcoin once a GPU miner is released that is stable.
94  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][GAP] Gapcoin - Prime Gap Search - New Math Algo - CPU / GPU - Zero Premine on: October 24, 2019, 09:43:00 PM
I was toying around with some primecoin gpu miners to see if they might work. No luck. I can’t get the gapcoin gpu miner to work, perhaps my 7950 gpu is too old. I’d be happy to try to build a pool if my hardware is up to par. I’m not smart enough to make a miner I don’t think. I’ve done plc programming and such.

I cant wait for the blockchain to finish downloading....I downloaded the blockchain from the site with the node adding information but the wallet hated it and wouldnt even load. So now I wait.....
Where did you find that blockchain and how big is it?

Thank you for this, I was going to zip it once mine was completed for sharing purposes but I havent made it home yet..

Your most welcome! and good luck with finding your first Gapcoin block! The way the real Satoshi Nakamoto envisioned in the original Bitcoin whitepaper!

Although, with seemingly new interest in Gapcoin it may not be long before a mining pool (or two) appear, perhaps ?

Hopefully we can smash a new world record prime gap (again) soon. Who knows ?

I've never tried building a pool...hmmm...Maybe I should do some reading...

It's older and not very large.

The blockchain download / zip on the gapcoin.club website is not a bootstrap, so you have to unzip it and then copy it to the correct folder for your respective operation system.

I will endeavour to upload a newer version, however the existing one works just fine. I've tested it on windows and linux.

I can try again. I unzipped and copied/pasted. Then the wallet just says loading chain and sits there and does nothing. I probably missed something. I'll try again when I get home from work.
