Also, I will give 25 GAP for everyone who will translate the OP into his mother language.

I'll add another 25 GAP

• every year
• every half year
• every three months

Every half year seems fine. Three months is too quick in my opinion.

Also, I will give 25 GAP for everyone who will translate the OP into his mother language.

I agree that every half year seems fine.
I was thinking 3 months but if we dont manage to gain more people interested soon enough so fast halving would be catastrophic.

I would like to have more people arguing about the matter. What miners have to say? What other holders have to say?

Also guys, i dont think its wise to give 50 gaps for every translation. I mean there are other ideas that can use funds.  Like a giveaway of gaps by tweeting something. A small bounty for people making some art/infographics/funny pictures about gapcoin. Probably a bounty for a second pool. A bounty for merchants that will accept gapcoin (they should probably need to have some trust and wait at least like a month to get the bounty)

Also i think we should popularize a phrase or something. I was thinking something like  'We dont need you to buy gapcoin. We need you to mine gapcoin!' because after all i personally want to be part of a record breaking!

Anyway i am just throwing ideas to stimulate some chatting

50-100 GAP rewards for highest merit finders? Pool software makes this tough to do, as only usernames are public information. Still no word back btw.

-5 is an out of resources error.
You could try to use

Code:

-w 32

to reduce the memoy load for the gpu.

With -w 32 it segfaults

Thank you! 25 GAP Sent.

Send another 25 GAP.

I like to give 88 Gap for a cuda miner. Anyone who like that can add a few gap for the dev who make it possible.

I'll add another 100 GAP for working cuda-miner binaries,
I would do it myself but i don't have any nvidia cards.

• every year
• every half year
• every three months

I would prefer the second option,
but that's just my opinion.


Also, I think there is currently someone working on a new design of the website and the logo.
I'll set a bounty of 250 GAP, for a new and innovative designed website and logo.

OK, so my graphics skills are basically non existent, or I would do this myself.  I had an idea for a GAP logo/slogan/whatever.  Instead of the famous London Underground 'Mind the Gap' logo, I thought of 'Mine the GAP'.  Anybody wanting to run with this, please do!

more than three months is too long to wait.

Well, then let's talk about the reward halving:

It wouldn't be much work to change it,
it's just that everyone would have to switch to the new client / wallet before the first halving takes place.

So, what do you think about halving the reward

• every year
• every half year
• every three months

How about monthly 5-10% reduction ? Sudden halving is not good for any coin in my opinion.

[gambadamba]

income on the pool two times lower than on the calculator.
as well
 
diff 22
calculator 1 300 000pps ~ 400-470 gap .
 pool = 200-230

Is this coin one man show?

Thank you. What could be wrong? I'm mining it with CPU and it's all right..

Hi there,

nonce-pool confirmed me, that they can verify any block found against a pool user.


So, i will set a few new bounties:

• 100 GAP for the first merit within the top 20
• 150 GAP for the first merit within the top 10
• 250 GAP for the first merit within the top 5
• 500 GAP for the first merit, which breaks the world record

I also think there should be a bounty for a second pool, so I'll add 100 GAP for that.

[j0nn9]

What could be wrong? I'm mining it with CPU and it's all right..

Maybe too much work at once for the gpu.

You could try to change some of these parameters,
I would start to try -w 256

Code:

-s   form 100,000 to 100,000,000 default 15,000,000
-w   from  32 to 32000 default 2048
-a   from  1,000,000 to  100,000,000 default 30,000,000
-z   from 2 to 30 default 10
