[ANN][GAP] Gapcoin - Prime Gap Search - New Math Algo - CPU / GPU - Zero Premine

[gjhiggins]

Nobody is engaged in advertizing of this project here, what does it mean. Any other crap-token has more marketing than this real altcoin.

The social context here has unfortunately become centralised to the dead hand at the controls. The dev posted here recently for the first time in years about a gap record but apparently remains otherwise uninterested, with the inevitable consequence that the group has accrued a debilitating amount of technical debt.

Such a clearly-communicated lack of interest isn't going to go unnoticed and the negativity it signals effectively dissuades people from taking any positive initiative, despite this being an inherent Teal org (https://minkiz.co/library/a-different-perspective-on-cryptocurrency.html).

Business as usual in altcoinland, I'd say.

Cheers

Graham

How is it possible to work with this coin?

The mathematician I know is only that 2 + 2 = 4, plus it's working for who? or to be deceived .. or can you explain me why continue with this coin.

Coin issuance is based on a logarithmic spiral.

Increased mining difficulty will find larger prime gap records and will help to discover things we don't already know about our universe e.g. new merit world prime gap records.

What exactly do you mean by this phrase.

"Plus gapcoin is missing out on marketing itself if its missing out on taking more length records."

Nobody is engaged in advertizing of this project here, what does it mean. Any other crap-token has more marketing than this real altcoin.

Not on the forum no. However, I've been building up traffic rank across various free Traffic Exchanges for several months now.

Have also put a very basic banner into rotation - the click rate is low, although slightly more clicks (currently) than the basic Bitcoin banner I promoted in the same fashion in 2010...

... Better banner soon!

Indeed and thanks for the interesting read!

Gapcoin is the altcoin equivalent of building a Large Hadron Collider, checking that it 'works', watching it deliver some predicted results and then just leaving it to gather dust, like a power plant in temporary shutdown.

For future development input I will try to contact j0nn9 once again to ask his position.

Without question, we need an updated software release, a fresh thread on bitcointalk.org (or the ability to at least edit the OP) and a couple of mining pools to affirm any new community interest and hashing power.

Aside from independent peer review, I don't envisage many immediate pitfalls in this regard and/or that cannot be solved with a good capable team.

In terms of Bitcoin Core I feel that we could aim for v0.12.1 (without SegWit etc.,) and then cherry-pick somewhat on the way up.

As previously stated the current v0.9.2 Gapcoin release is still doing OK for now.

It's probably advisable to set the following additions in the gapcoin.conf ;

upnp=0
dbcache=256
#dbcache=128 # on low-RAM instances
#paytxfee=0.00006500 # will certainly not break the bank with $1 to $100+ of value.

We know that scaling in the short-term is probably just fine.

...

Provisional date for original dev. response by end August 2018.

Agreed, a couple pools would be beneficial.  Also getting the records updated more regularly, it's about three months old @j0nn9  http://gapcoin.org/primegaps-length.php

Gives more impression this thing isn't dead.

Indeed. I'd like to get records presented and updating 'live' via https://gapcoin.club website - however, that will require a server upgrade to one with a whole bunch of RAM, and for where we are now I see other things taking priority.

For on-boarding new users I've started looking at options for web wallets and contacted the developer of piWallet.

- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=911212.0

They also mentioned a mobile wallet (need to review it currently).

It's an open source script and I would handle some security additions + Tor access for the web wallet etc., I'm not really a fan of web wallets, although we would be able to add a proof-of-reserve (in gapcoin holdings) to provide immediate remedy in the event of something catastrophic.

Contacted https://walletgenerator.net/ and adding gapcoin via

...

Anyhow, I have some other projects which must now take a priority over this, but know that I am continually working on background stuff and will keep infrastructure running / updated.

Is anyone still developing this coin or interested in development? I see someones still paying for its block explorer.

What I wanted to say is that it is not worth wasting energy to mine GAP.

Could this plan exist without tokens / coins? Why is token / coin inseparable from solution? I get that blockchain technology has a goal here but I am challenged to see why the market for this token / coin will grow and why consumers will pay for it. Also, will commercial / industrial users buy and use the same token / coins offered to ICO participants or will Skynet license their blockchain technology to some people while finding issues for token / coin solutions for consumers / retail markets?

These things bears close reading before taking the time to respond. Its anodyne nature reveals it to be machine-fabricated for the purpose of account farming (an inference supported by the poster's history). It's as devoid of specific semantics as a corporate mission statement. Mechanically-augmented social exploitation is with us here and now.

...

new world record attempt commencing from 21st Oct. 2018 is approaching ...

If you read this and want to participate, download Gapcoin (and the blockchain) then Help > Debug window > Console and type in the following command at the prompt (and hit enter):

setgenerate true

- https://gapcoin.club/windows-gui-setup.php

Now your participating in ... The largest decentralized prime gap search - Thanks !

Start your engines (CPU's) on 20th through to 22nd October. 2018 ... easy right + you might even mine some Gapcoin !

...

Now, if everyone on this forum did this we might just smash a new world record (beating our current one!) ... so, some concerted effort for this round ?!?, although, in reality we will probably just keep kicking the can down the road until 21st October 2019 and the next attempt.

...

Working pool software is 'available', but TBH I don't see the point in increasing any mining centralization at this juncture, and without any competition in this regard. The old nonce pool software, for anyone who might want to take a look, will be made more readily available via the gapcoin.network repo. soon.

...

New crypto exchanges are still uninterested in adding Gapcoin (without a fee), the same applies to the crypto / press who are equally seemingly uninterested in actual world record breaking cryptocurrency / scientific technology.

Yes. The prime counting / search function could be separated from Gapcoin, although incentive / reward would also be removed.

However, other prime number search projects continue to do ok on this basis, for example;
- https://www.mersenne.org/ - GIMPS, the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search

Gapcoin is not an ICO.

Yes. Skynet knows.

Seems like the dcct cpu miner performs better versus the gpu miner.
