I tried mining some with some shifts on the range around 380 but miners gave me 'illegal instruction core dump' error.

I then noticed that it gives me that error for every shift bigger than 192. So i put my miners running with shift 187-192. Lets see what happens.

It seems to work. Any reason why i get this error? Can my binaries be the problem?

My PPS is halved btw.

What do you guys think about creating a forum just for CK? Is it worth the effort? Would people eventually go there? Is it a fool's errand?

It would be easier for people to keep up with everything that goes on in comparison to IRC. Or at least to keep up with whatever they deem important...In any case if more people join a forum is a must.

I've been running my two machines in shift 380 & 381 off and on and they've gotten some hits; just a suggestion if you're going for records might want to space all your machines out on different high shifts.  Btw how much pps horsepower do you have?  On default shift solo mining I'm around 1.4M pps.

I have a peak hashrate of around 12M pps at shift 381 currently. I started mining again like 17 hours ago. Generally i mining either monero or gapcoin. I think i will let it at gapcoin for a few days. Its a bit difficult to mine on different shifts mostly because i dont understand what shift does mathematically speaking. I mean, forgive my ignorance, but what happens when a new record is found with shift 381? Can a new one be found but it is even more difficult? I could write a script to change shifts every few hours or every day or something. But i am not sure if all shifts are logical to mine on. So many questions...Like what shift means exactly. Should i 'scan mine' a range of shifts every few hours? I noticed a mined many blocks over the night with shift 381 thought...



j0nn9, nice to see that you are still working on the coin Smiley

A bit pissed off cause although i anticipated the drop for days i anyway bought a few  XMR around 0.003.

Oh well. As fluffy says 1 XMR is 1 XMR Cheesy

Do you guys really think that it can go under 0.0024?

I have a daemon on a VM and i am solo mining on it with the rest of my computers... The problem is that even if i put it mining with some --shift option i wouldnt know if i break any records Tongue

Good to see we made it Cheesy

This is a good observation. Around the time monero was created there were 10 coins created per day. Some of them even bubbled but almost all of them today  are nowhere to be seen. Monero bubbled a bit. Dumped a bit. And now seems in a good state. Lots of work to be done for sure and and from the community end too! But that observation with a few beers seems promising Smiley

If you find me a way to mine on pools port ,by using a proxy? maybe, since i can only use port 80 and 443 i can help. But i am not very good with technical stuff and i dont know how to do that...

No there isnt any asic mining gapcoin. Actually not many are mining the coin right now. And those who do either do not care about the price right now and simply are mining speculating that one day the price will be right or simple they like what the coin is doing, breaking world records.

This coin is not supposed to be that attractive to people who dont care about tech, mathematics or generally bitcoin protocol. Its the community's job to make it attractive.

It would be indeed a good thing to see if j0nn9 is alive and if he is working on something. But generally speaking what do you guys expect from him? To start putting stupid things on the code/title just to make the coin more attractive? He delivered a coin that does what it is supposed to do. Though some bug fixes wouldnt be that bad Cheesy

I personally dont care about the prices. You can simply put 0.01 right now and buy a few thousands. So i am accumulating a bit and also i am mining just to support it.

Finally, what this coin needs is awareness in the mathematics communities. This way you support gapcoin, you are participating in a project that will probably help science and you also spread the word about the bitcoin protocol. So guys, just spread the word. Nothing more. More miners mean more people interested, building stuff, even more awareness and so on...

My thoughts exactly.

Got some recent records for the 8000-9998 length list.  Time to attempt some for the 10000-14998 list, I'm estimating --shift in the high 300's will get there.  The max shift for the coin is 1024 which makes the 15000 and 20000 lists within reasonable reach as well though I think --shift 512 may be the highest allowed in the pool from what I read.

EDIT: Gapcoin.org is broken for the 10000-14998 range, can someone fix again? ---> http://gapcoin.org/primegaps-length.php

Should also have the two new ranges(8000-9998 & 10000-14998) represented once posted on http://www.trnicely.net ---> http://gapcoin.org/primegaps.php

---------------------------------------

Gapcoin will join the 10000-14998 records list with two new gaps, only took 24 hours.

Gap length 10006

Thanks to whoever fixed gapcoin.org/primegaps-length.php.  I may attempt a record in the 15000 range in the not too distant future so hopefully it's not too difficult to keep adding lists.

How do you attempt particular records?

I don't have solid proof this is always true but I seem to have had the best luck on large shift block hits when mining solo at night (during night time the large firepower pool miners don't mine as hard making the rounds longer though I've gotten large shift records on both solo and pool).  

All you do is append --shift (bigger number than default 25).  Example: ./gapminer-cpu -o mine3.gap.nonce-pool.com -p 3385 -u <user.worker> -x <password> --stratum -t 16 --shift 256.  The default sieve and sieve primes have worked fine for me when being speculative with large shifts.  A shift of 256 has gotten me into the 8000-9998 list several times.  Did some calculations and shift 380 & 381 got into the 10000-14998 range which if you solve any block with difficulty 22-23 you have a very good probability of a world record every time with where the records are.  Keep in mind, these higher shifts will severely punish your pps rate since you're looking for larger overall gaps AND all the numbers you're testing are bigger: shift 25 are 85 digit numbers vs shift 256 are 155 digit numbers.....which is why solo mining probably gives you better odds (with a solo target you're putting all your chips in the middle to solve the block, not accumulate shares/coins).

If nscythe or skif (the two powerhouse pool miners) are reading this, they could probably set a couple hundred new world records within a week with these higher shifts if they really wanted to.  Gapcoin taking over more of the record lists I would think could only help it.

EDIT: Just set another record a few minutes ago with length @ 11202 (on block #109634). You can see it was set with shift 391 from the block record -- https://bchain.info/GAP/block/9248f5e0765cd8618f55aea2c3c46270b0304eb14be32a6ae879d9198134cfb9

Thank you for explaining this to me Smiley I guess the same works for solo mining right? Just adding --shift option on the miner..

Would it be a good idea if someone could create a pool just trying to break records without caring about the pps? I would help a bit too if port 80 was open.

I just want to state that i am more of a 'mind uploading' follower when it comes to transhumanism and singularity.

This approach seems easier to me since what humans always did was to reverse engineer nature. And in my thinking solves problems like machines turning against biological life. We actually transform to machines.

There are problems though. What will the first humans that upload their minds are going to do? Will we be able to upload all humans since today we cant even allocate enough food/water to the whole humanity.

Its funny because science/technology is evolving rather fast (when we choose that iphone 3 is good enough for our needs until iphone 6 comes out) and matters like those may probably affect our lives soon...

The golden age of mankind in my understanding was about 1870-1912. The prices were not stable, there were +/- 30% moves annually based on natural factors, but the trend was that money (gold) gained purchasing power about 0.5% per year.

Since that is pretty much the only period in history when money has gained purchasing power, and I also happen to hold it as the best and most worthy of imitation, I also support the idea that money should increase in value.

It of course increases in value only if the economy using that money grows faster than the money supply.

Mankind as 10% of the Europeans and 10% of USA?

Also i am not sure if i would like to imitate it since arguably that economy lead to WW1...

Shouldnt you first ask and then buy? Anyway welcome aboard. Remember, monero isnt a two days investment.
