what do you guys think    

Kinda just a little bit of a nice speed.

Wat are you using?

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

Not even 1k per thread seems rather bad. Sandy bridge processors can get nearly 10k per thread.

Got 2 blocks so far, have been mining for a little over 24h, 7 servers.

Diff is rather high for solo mining, i recommend we put up a bounty. I'll go first, 2GAP for the pool

Make no mistake about it, this is a GPU coin for AMD R9 and Nvidia Maxwell GPUs.

The algorithm used for this coin falls in the sweet spot as afar as GPU register usage is concerned for modular arithmetic implementation (512-bit or less). Also, sieving is much faster on these GPUs.

And it is possible to describe easier?

What would be interesting to work out is which of the three is the most energy efficient method of discovering primes in relation to the hardware required to build the network, regardless of the hardware that the algorithm is used on.

HD R 280x does not fit?

According to the user Supercomputing, not yet. Currently it is CPU only, but it seems like that won't last forever. So maybe in a few weeks/months the 280x will fit when someone develops the software, but for now it's CPU only.

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

I copied the functionality of this page: http://coinia.net/gapcoin/gaptop.php?top=30

And add new chart on http://coinia.net/gapcoin/stat.php

In a few days from now, assuming that there is not one out there already.

I will not have time this coming weekend. But during the following weekend, I will integrate Gapcoin mining with the open source Primecoin miner below. Less than an hour's worth of work:

Meh.

DAAAAMMMNN! LOL...nice work

[Benito]

Currently getting 40k pps with 8 core xeon e5-2670 @ 2.60ghz does this sound about right?

We just got our first pool!

Great news

BTW is the miner more efficient or it is the same?

Sweeeeet.   Is there a windows binary yet for the new pool miner?

The miner is exactly the same, except for it now uses pool difficulty instead of network difficulty for shares.

Can you please compile the Linux Miner too.

Can you please compile the Linux Miner too.

I'm on it.
