Is there any indication how long it should take to get soime coins? I.e. after mining x hours at 20000 primespersec you should find a block?
Or is it just totally random? There are people in the richlist that have 100+ coins. How did they manage to do that?

Theoretically you will find a gap with merit m (~difficulty) within e^m prime gaps:

e^20.45 = 760890487,  so you will need to calculate about 760890487 primes to find a new block.

If your primes per second are 25000 then you will need 760890487/25000 = 30435 seconds, which are about 8:30 hours.
So you will finde ~ 2.8 blocks per day.

The rpc-call getmininginfo has a new value called gapsperday, which is calculated using the above formula.

My stats, 2 machines:

Primes per sec combined: 43k

Gaps/day combined: 5

Blocks found since launch: 4

Yay, statistics!

EDIT: fixed blocks per hour (thought it 5 mins, now reflecting 2.5 min)
primes/network= .009
i'd say I have a .9% chance to find a block each round.
thats  21.6% chance each hour and
average of 5.18 blocks per day
i've found 7 blocks with my 2 systems in 1.5 days, so that's pretty on par.

Keep trying.

When you compile the miner on your own it uses spectial compile flags for tuning, like:

Code:

-march=native

"Native" means that the code produced will run only on the CPU which compiled it.

The published binaries were not built with that type of optimation, meaning they will run on both amd and intel.

Thank you for the linux one!

One question about the algo and the records. So we have to reach  35.4245 difficulty.
Does that means that if hashrate never gets bigger we wont find record prime gaps?Even if we mine for much more time?
What  hashrate should the network have  so that we can reach that difficulty? I want to realize how fast we can actually reach that. Will it take some months or a year or 10 years?

Of course i understand that better miners will come out and pools will help but i want to have a comparison.

e^20.45 = 760890487,  so you will need to calculate about 760890487 primes to find a new block.

It's not neccesary that the difficulty reaches 35.4245, we already have two ~28 merit gaps:

Code:

You can use the "listbestprimes" rpc-call to list the gaps with the currently greatest merit.

Within the test networks the greatest merits were mostly about 9 times greater than the difficulty,
so we hopefully only need to reach a difficulty of  27.

Published Windows binaries for gapminer.

Usage: You have to edit the start-gapminer.bat and fill in your rpcuser and rpcpassword from your gapcoin.config.
Also add "server=1" to your config.

It seems that virustotal shows a false positive for the 32 bit windows-qt binaries:
https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/7acb538db30edd4ac152c8d3e2c7abe0288e42abd7de61529b7603a91bda1f5b/analysis/

This is not unusual, antivirus software tend to falsely detect bitcoin and altccoin binaries, because scammers often
use them to distribute malware.

To be safe it's recommended to check the md5 sums after downloading.
