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

Not finding any blocks for quite a while....anyone else?

I am mining on 6 different comps ranging from 10-30k pps.

I am using setgenerate true from wallet, should I be using something else?

I had something similar, and found that my comps were kinda finding blocks, but most were orphans due to not keeping up with the network (comparing my top block to the block explorer top block). I've been watching my network connections, thinking it might have something to do with losing connectivity to nodes so it just stays on some blocks for longer than it's supposed to.

I added all the nodes in the OP too, but I haven't found any blocks that I know of since I started watching it. I've got 43k pps, so they're usually quite a few hours inbetween.

I did find two legit blocks today though, so big win from the last few days when I ended up with 1 block on the 23rd, 1 block on the 22nd, and 3 on the 21st.

OK thanks thats is similar to my block finds between comps, thanks.

Hopefully others can weigh in their results as well, or the dev can tell us if this is correct.

I have not found a block from 36 hours ago @2700 pps

agran - Thank you very much

Anyone working on getting Gapcoin on a real exchange? (Bittrex would be nice)

Anynews on Pool?

please if you get GPU working be nice and share don't mine on your own for 10days... (probably too much to ask)

Found 2 blocks in 16hrs

It is quite soon for a better exchange. Lets see if a pool pops in a few days or maybe weeks. Meanwhile we have to bring more people with CPUs to mine...I wanna see diff going higher first.

I believe that GPU wont come so fast. But not sure.

It's a nice experiment but unless this coin is used for something it will die...

It's already difficult to mine, people won't join unless it hit a good exchange or you can do something with it.

I think the dev team should work on the usefulness of the coin then exchanges will follow.

Its quite easy to mine actually. What do you expect? To mine with a laptop and get 20 dollars per day?

And yes it is an experiment. I like that it will possibly make some records and this will probably bring more people interested in computer science/mathematics etc to bitcoin.

Examine the source code if you want to see brilliance.

Yeah, we need a pool.
But in the meantime: the wallet has some problems while compiling, but the precompiled binary works. The standalone miner has some problems while compiling, but the precompiled binary doesn't work. The miner simply finishes without errors/messages. I'm testing it on actual Mint with all dependencies installed

Thanks, so to start mining with the wallet all we have to do is add setgenerate true?

Yes

where do I add setgenerate exactly ?

Gapcoin has the listed nodes hard coded, but if you did not add them to your config, it uses them only for the initial connection and then connects to random nodes.

So yes, it could be that you got some weak one.

Adding the listed nodes could help, but if everyone connects to them, then they will become the "weak nodes" because of the heavy network load.

[j0nn9]

where do I add setgenerate exactly ?

help > debug window > console

setgenerate true

[j0nn9]

The miner simply finishes without errors/messages.

Could you make a valgrind memcheck dump or something similar, to trace back the problem.

[Damadegyptian]

Error: Error parsing JSON:genproclimit

i keep getting this error when trying to set to unlimited what am i missing here ?


EDIT: nevermind I just restarted the mining and now its good

Mining on an Intel Core i7 using 8 threads since launch (on and off) so have found a couple of blocks. Just submitted some stats.

CPU-Z - http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html - Is quite useful for windows CPU info.

...

Quite surprising that more people are not actively mining this, guess crypto currency has become more about the 'money' and less about the math and science.

Should certainly be a lot more interest in Gapcoin when a working pool is up and running though I'm guessing.
