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

[Damadegyptian]

just wondering if someone could tell me what a few of those lines mean like "seivesize" "seiveprimes" and "pooledtx"

"blocks" : 3778,
"currentblocksize" : 1000,
"currentblocktx" : 0,
"difficulty" : 20.82454605,
"errors" : "",
"generate" : true,
"genproclimit" : -1,
"sievesize" : 1048576,
"sieveprimes" : 500000,
"shift" : 20,
"primespersec" : 15617,
"10gapsperhour" : 0.00000000,
"15gapsperhour" : 0.00000000,
"gapsperday" : 1.21937143,
"networkprimesps" : 7571792,
"pooledtx" : 0,
"testnet" : false
}

sievesize = the size of the sieve used for prime search, this should be not greater than 2^shift
256 + shift = the bit size of the prime you are searching for. shift have to be greater than 13.
sieveprimes = the number of primes you sieve. The more primes you sieve, the less prime tests you have to calculate. But to much sieve primes will also slow down mining.
pooledtx = number of transactions in the memory pool

Perfect! thanks for the info... I'm new to this and i'm learning more n more everyday. Cheers

Got another question for you j0nn9 -

I'm using windows 7 for my wallet.  I have another win7 machine running the rpc miner with no problems.  When I try to introduce the rpc miner to a 3rd windows machine, it seems that it cannot connect to the wallet.  I get the same message printed over and over again -

Code:

curl_easy_perfomr() failed: Timeout was reached
waiting for gapcoind ...

Any idea why?

It seems that it connects, but Gapcoin is not responding in time.
Is it a very slow pc?

Currently you cannot change the timeout. This will be changed in the next release.
But you can also mine with the wallet, it should be equal.

Had the same problem. You need to make the wallet start more workers:

rpcthreads=10

No, its not a slow PC, I built it less than a year ago - AMD A10-6800K @ 4.4 GHz w/ 12GB ram.  This is the wallet PC.  I have my GPU BAMT rig and another win 7 PC successfully connected using the RPC miners.  I have tried on 2 different win 7 pc's with the RPC miner (each would be the 2nd windows instance to try to connect).  Each time the 2nd windows client tries to connect, i get the error above.

That was the secret sauce.  Thanks for the tip!

Good work!! Thanks a lot!

A good pool would solve most problems...

[BanditryAndLoot]

Network: 8.4 M pps  

That's double from a couple days ago/yesterday.

Nice  

Also: 29.50383767 is the newest highest merit.

Double nice  

Who wants to make bets on us breaking 30 merit in the next week?

Be patient. Development needs time, but it will come.

Kinda just a little bit of a nice speed.

the new IBM POWER8 CPU beast with 48GB RAM & 176 Threads!!  im going to run 4 of them and see what will happen

good, two folds the more you mine the more I make (all of us actually, you too, study source code for proof), hence don't just use 4 use 8 of them, lets push difficulty sky high

I was patiently waiting for people like you

[j0nn9]

Website now contains a new section with the highest found merits: http://gapcoin.org/primegaps.php

[q327K091]

nice, network primes per second has gone up was 5 now 8 (PPS) almost doubled in one day, you are going to give primecoin run for their money

that is all for now, change nothing. maybe a PHP pool, and you all should rush to get coins because at higher difficulty you will need serious CPU power (and later GPU farm)

 

want my prediction ? it's gonna be 4$ per GAP , in venue with powerful boolberry, and this is just for starters. I could not do boolberry, fortunately caught you in time.

yes, too bad i have only 4 cpus each of them are 176 threads (Total 704 threads) thats ~480000-+ primespersec and i just started still no blocks

be very patient, you should see blocks arrive, leave for 24 cycle , do not get addicted to crypto please

do you know that with sufficiently large primes gap, it's findings can compromise RSA ? not a catastrophe in itself because keys can be made very large but imagine media attention
