Happy Birthday Gapcoin!
Traffic is bad nowadays but i am sure we will manage to break the world record until next anniversary. Mining equipment gets better and all we need to do is to decide to persuade a few people to help us mine for a few days Smiley

Would be nice to see some real use for these coins piling up in the wallets. Even if some kind of gambling or tip bot or anything. The only thing you can do right now with GAP is to sell it.

The whole point behind algorithms like this though is that something useful is being done just by mining the coin. Coin economies still have a long way to develop and a lot of possible ideas exist, like the ones you mentioned, but in the mean time at least some coins like gap are producing a useful product, in this case a mathematical one, rather than simply spinning in pretty circles like bitcoin.

ad1.
 If you know what to do with bootstrap file, I just made it fresh one for you:  https://mega.nz/#!eVsyWKLA!94xINoHuEwEVKa1qOvoetRmJtknxACjTmHMFTu5mvQc


(copy it into your folder (for Windows) ......AppData/Roaming/Gapcoin/blocks .  Close your client , delete what is there, and copy bootstrap.dat file there, then relaunch client) 

 If you like easy way, quick way:  https://mega.nz/#!mNN3RT6Z!Mf4boXb6tGdNzKxvYuEtW1ZPTn0jTUHmnh6RGzGDXOc

Just copy unpack archive and copy to ......AppData/Roaming on your PC. Then put on there your wallet.dat file and start client to have your old address&coins back. This is just copy of the chain.

ad2.
  As I know there is no working pool but you can solo mine this coin. You need conf file "gapcoin.conf" in Gapcoin folder with this inside:
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=password
rpcport=31397
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
server=1
daemon=1
gen=0

You can use one of the miners which are on this thread. Sorry but I don't have nvidia card to tell you which one works or is the best. If those miners (GPUs) works for nvidia, to start it you can just make start.bat file with this line inside:  gapminer-gpu.exe -o 127.0.0.1 -p 31397 -u user -x password --use-gpu -t 1 -w 512

Read pages back on this thread, you will find out things about it as people has this discussion already.
Good luck

FWIW,
The mentions on Nicely's site http://www.trnicely.net/

<2000               [0 found]                                  http://www.trnicely.net/gaps/gaplist.html
4000 to 5998     [More than 100 found by gapcoin]  http://www.trnicely.net/gaps/g4k.html
6000 to 7998     [More than 100 found by gapcoin]  http://www.trnicely.net/gaps/g6k.html
8000 to 9998     [10 found]                                  http://www.trnicely.net/gaps/g8k.html
10000 to 14998  [More than 100 found by gapcoin]  http://www.trnicely.net/gaps/g10k.html
15000 to 19998  [More than 100 found by gapcoin]  http://www.trnicely.net/gaps/g15k.html
20000 to 24998  [53 found]                                  http://www.trnicely.net/gaps/g20k.html

The highest listed gap found by gapcoin was # 24822

Gapcoin and Riecoin have both found many numbers in their respective categories.

Also worth noting that Gapcoin seems to find prime gaps which are considered of higher merit than most others. Merit "indicates how much larger the gap is than the average gap" (ref Dr Nicely's site).

I am not sure how science will use these numbers. Maybe in a hundred years they will be found to correlate with some natural process and having these numbers will allow another branch of science to progress.

interesting stuff even if I don't quite understand it.  Huh

A lot of links on the website and original post need to be updated.

j0nn9 posts sporadically, probably has a day job, and mathematicians are not often team players
