It's Wizz.
It's almost guaranteed (at some point) when used in the right way.
But it's true that Gapcoin needs
A LOT more computing power, and
it's not an individual effort.
--shift 160 --crt crt/crt-22m-160s.txt --threads 12 --fermat-threads 11 --sieve-primes 5000
This above gives me "16500 gaps/s 4M tests/s 0.09%", with my i9-9900kf with only -t 12, using CRT. (Shifts 128-256 are the minimum shifts to use CRT, for me)
How is it possible to have
only 1M PPS ?! Without CRT ? Using standard miner ?
Sounds like a Joke, if Yes.
Kind of inefficient/at the limit, I mean...you can improve your performances with this cpu. We could help
IF YOU EVER JOIN DISCORD !First Performance drop @shift 64 (I think there is another one around shift 128, not sure)
Anyway, PPS isn't a good value to look at, regarding the miner or the settings. (I can get more than 200M PPS, at some point, using CRT and the pool...?!)
To compare properly :
Tests/s is the universal/real performance value, as I saw, for every version. (even gpu)
Gaps/s is good to look at, with rev5.1, with or/and without using CRT. (Different ouput between rev5.0 and rev5.1, without CRT)
"I have lots of Prime Gap Records using Yitang Zhang mining algo using high RAM."

Not sure what that means(and what RAM has to do with gapminers...I asked myself and tested it but I don't get it), but do you know that we see it all, right?
(in live, even
some of the stale/orphan/bad blocks)

Here is what we can see for the shift 160-162

Hum maybe, but I doubt that PrimeObsession is Andrey Balyakin. If yes okay, good to know.
I know Prime Obsession's Gapcoin main address.
https://gapcoin.org/primegaps-length.php ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)
is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. But the PrimeGap List :

![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)
Nop Sorry. At least, not anymore. M. Loizides r*ped us
https://primegaps.cloudygo.com/graphs?max=32000"I don't think the CRT miner produces any good records!"
![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)
Shares, Blocks, Records. It does.
FYI
Shift 768 without CRT :

Seems pretty obvious.
Getting back to the records:
We'll keep getting r*ped. (Yes I'm abusing a bit, it's true.)
As M. Higgins said :
"They're oriented on finding new records, Gapcoin merely uses prime gap search as a Proof-of-Work. The size of the record known first occurrence prime gap list has expanded dramatically since 2014."
And it's true. We are just raising the minimum threshold (minimum numerical limits) for records. This is not the most motivating aspect of Gapcoin, for me.
It's like cleaning up after the others have had fun at the party.

Gapcoin NeEd PoWeR !! WaY, wAaYy MoRe pOwEr !!
1000M PPS or so... not 30 or 48 ... (nor 100 or 300, btw) to find/improve records, now.
(300M PPS would correspond to a difficulty of ~24.5, "only".)
Blocks with merit of 27 or 28 should be much more frequent. I'm hungry, I want more.
(PS:
Settings for gpu miners should appear soon. -w and -n seems to be useful.
A little '
surprise'(I hope lol) could
also(I hope too lol) happen soon. Shh)
