1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][GAP] Gapcoin - Prime Gap Search - New Math Algo - CPU / GPU - Zero Premine on: March 18, 2024, 11:10:05 PM
It's sad that such great project is dying. Interesting combination of distributed computing and cryptocurrency. Useful (in some sense) PoW. At least Riecoin still is slightly more alive. And I guess the owner of only existing exchange is some sort of fan of both these math coins, because they are both are still listed here. What a great exchange.

I cannot help GAP in any way. Maybe I can buy some, but without any interest in crypto community, without any update of software, without blockchain explorer, it's all pretty useless. If only some great mind would find this project to support it with some work just for sake of it. Maybe some GAP whale, lol.

Also it seems that 'math guys' for some strange reason are mostly anti-crypto in general, so there is not enough interest from this side. There are some forums about gap merits, but it seems they are not very interested in Gapcoin.

I hope somebody knows how to actually extract data about PoW calculations of network. The difficulty is very low, but amount of time == amount of PoW eventually, and this network is very old, so maybe some new records was hit during such long time? According to Wikipedia, we still have a world record, from year of 2017. At least this is one great thing.

MOTO has pretty good block explorer on cryptopia: https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/BlockExplorer?coin=MOTO (not fully functional)

And HunterMinerCrafter one, of course: http://37.153.97.65:3000/ (does not work right now)

If other people do not want to give up on this coin, perhaps it's a good moment to speak up. A simple 'hi' will do or perhaps show support by buying some  Cheesy

HI!  Cheesy

Welcome.

C-cex need "some" more traded volume on MOTO/BTC  Sad
So we need
MOTO:    0.01 BTC (0.00%)

at least 5.9 BTC traded until 17/06/2015  Undecided

I didn't ever know they brought MOTO back.

Hey, I see somebody with IP 94.29.108.254:13107. Gotcha.

Synchronizing now.

Hi there,

It's nice to see that some of you using higher shifts to find new records.

Im currently working on new version of the Miner wich should speed up
mining with higher shift by using the Chinese Reminder Theorem (CRT).

I tried long to improve mining by using the CRT,
but couldn't find a solution with gives a real speed improve.
The thing is, to improve the mining speed with the CRT you have to use
an higher shift, as higher the shift as bigger the improvement you make by using the CRT.
But with higher shift the mining speed also decreases, so that you make
no big improvement at all.

But if you targeting higher shifts anyway, than the CRT could make a difference!
I'm currently testing my implementation within testnet,
but It will still probably take some time till it's ready.
Just wanted to let you know, that I'm working on something.

I also want to thank you all for the great support from all of you!



FYI - gapcoin.org isn't showing a new record of length 9100 though maybe it needs time to refresh

The website now parses all gaps from http://www.trnicely.net/ till 20k, which is currently
not very efficient implemented, so I set the refresh interval to 4 hours,
once the new miner is finished, I'll take care of it.

Wow, he is not dead.

Don't forget we have this https://github.com/motocoin-dev/motocoin-site in case if somebody want to restore it.

Also, it's still possible to download builds from github: https://github.com/motocoin-dev/motocoin/releases

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.

I didn't check it for long time, so I don't know how long ago MOTO was added, but it's so. Grin

If WilliamLie2 is somewhere around, I hope he will add the new exchange to the OP. It's not a lot of work. Engrish,yay

What the hell. You can at least provide a reason or something.

I need some working nodes, my Motocoin wallet won't connect.
If someone can add some nodes here, it would be great.

Thanks.

Here we go.

HMC seems absent, but I have a feeling he will return... And good news in being added on the exchange! Smiley

What he can do, anyway? He is a programmer, not a marketer. Everything works as he intended. Bots secure the chain on daily basis and supply new blocks regularly while people still can mine by hand.

Also, on a side note about some coin with a sad history: MOTO is true pool-less coin on the moment, lol.

Again I assume @e1ghtspace has give the correct info that Mr. Spread is from China. I just google and found that official China's official holiday is from 18 - 24 Feb, and the famous Chinese New Year "world greatest migration" is happening from 16Feb to 1Mar. I am quite sure he will be back, soon.

http://www.ip-tracker.org/locator/ip-lookup.php?ip=31.168.172.144

So I guess he actually isn't from China?

He probably used a proxy or VPN. EDIT: Was his IP the same or at least from same country each time?

What's the current state of the game, can coins be mined not too hard?

I'm willing to promote it some more on my Twitter but only if things work properly. Will update my client soon.

It's possible but it's quite hard. Target time is 29 sec now. Player has 1 min on the average for an attempt (average block time is more or less stable now with PoW). It's possible to mine manually but only for skilled players (I have mined about 500 blocks in total, mostly in May 2014). I got a block after about 15 minutes of trying today. And before this I tested it I guess mid-February and got a block after about 20 minutes. I generate maps not very often and use normal x1 speed. It hasn't any economical sense anyway. Bot mining, in other hand, still has. But I guess human mining is possible now only because of the low price so PoW difficulty is very low too.

In short words: human mining now is almost impossible for a 'novice' and also has no sense for the current price (game itself is not so fun to play it). Let's see... Now there are about 10 millions of MOTO. For human mining made sense, suppose 1$/block = 5c/MOTO -> 500.000 $ of capitalization. Also, almost a million of MOTO are mined monthly.

I bet he's on vacation somewhere far away from civilization.

Yeah, in Gulag.
19  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][MOTO] Motocoin on: February 15, 2015, 12:22:32 AM
Anti warp is to prevent time warp attacks (HMC started to call it this way). Difficulty is adjusted using maximum allowed time, however it cannot drop below the median time of last N blocks (this is to prevent making mining impossible). Say if target time is 30 seconds and you generate only 30 seconds replays then time will never drop below 30 seconds, if you can genereate 30 second replay each second you can instamine many blocks and difficuly will not increase to counter that. Anti warp adds classical PoW to map generation to prevent this.

Well, I understand now, thank you. I had no time recently for thread re-reading and I had stopped on page 46 for now. So no any HMC special magic here. Just PoW. Actually I had vague understanding of this, but I'm just surprised that the moto game is still pretty human-minable (and map generation is still pretty fast) even with new public bot around, so I began to speculate if there's something more besides just PoW. So far so good. But the price is so low that only few people are bot mining anyway. It would be interesting to look at mining dynamics if MOTO would not be so worthless.  Grin

I'm glad that you're still around. Looks like MOTO functions just fine. It's a pretty interesting experiment anyway.

When I read old discussion here, one thought did not leave me. Now it doesn't matter, but anyway. In Bitcoin, to successfully overwrite the entire blockchain, miner's chain should have more work (total difficulty) than the current blockchain. So it's basically more work (and time) consuming and more useless form of 51% attack. But in 'old' pre-PoW MOTO case such miner (as I understand) could just use minimal target for all of his alternative chain. But why it was impossible to use target times as difficulty to prevent such attack? Our attacker just must have smaller target time for his every block compared to corresponding (by number) block in a current chain. Or (more rough variant) he must have smaller sum of target times in his chain (which is the same length).

newuser01, please leave to yourself any DRK accusation (for others: or Monero, or whatsoever). This thread is about SPR. If you actually want SPR to be successful, please try to behave peacefully and reasonably. Otherwise you will show in a bad light not only yourself, but the spreadcoin community as well. Honestly, at first sight your behavior seemed a clever trolling to me.

We now are not in position to criticize Darkcoin.
