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

[BitcoinFX]

Cryptocurrency is a brutal, predatory space where unprotected and unsecured networks are destroyed for the slightest bit of value.

If you think any coin that survived four years is a sh1tcoin, think again.

Interesting. Whilst that may be an apparently plausible/popular opinion, it's a long way from the (far more prosaic) reality.

Cheers

True that.

No worries.

+ It's still comparatively easy to mine gapcoin in-wallet and to find blocks with just a single core CPU. I'd certainly recommend all new users to try mining some first...

Higher total network hashing power means that the gapcoin network will find larger prime gaps.

I found this one https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=915439.new#new that talks about CPU power, but GPU... Also, no ICO, no premined... what are your personal goals in the project? (Probably asked before, but I don't know)

Personally I'd simply like to see the Gapcoin project reach its full potential, mathematically speaking.

Mining difficulty is currently low and the most important thing to realize is that we broke a world record prime gap with around only 50+ nodes on the network and without a pool.

Imagine the prime gap records to be discovered with similar computational power to that of the Bitcoin network!

So many copy and paste coins have been created on this forum - many now abandoned or defunct. Gapcoin is clearly developed by a mathematician and actually closely follows Bitcoin's finite economic model, with some further improvements in the logarithmic coin issuance through mining (imho). The total number of Gapcoin's to be mined will be somewhere between 10 to 30 million i.e. probably around 20 million.

The most important thing about this project is the data / optimization of the prime gaps.

In the future, this type of data optimization on a blockchain (not by gapcoin per say) could potentially be used to solve all sorts of real world problems - anything from research into individually tailored medicines, construction, or simply for calculating the ever changing distance between rock and stardom etc.,

In short, the product (i.e. what is produced) and/or the process of data optimization on a blockchain does not necessarily need to be currency.

Gapcoin is a working example of both.

Hello team! I got in this business. I am interested to see how the developers implement the business!

Welcome! Gapcoin is not a business per say, simply a cryptocurrency like bitcoin, although with a useful PoW function and a faster transaction time, like Litecoin. However, I'm certainly glad to see some new forum users taking a look and realizing that this project certainly has some unique MERITS (did you see what I did there). 

...

Some basic updates to the gapcoin.club website today. I've dropped the Gapcoin Club heading and simply replaced it with Gapcoin Cryptocurrency, as I felt that the notion of a club might pertain some potential new adopters to perceive a membership requirement or something else i.e. no barrier to entry.

I've added additional links for 'free' server credits with various hosting companies - so hopefully, as I now commence with extensive traffic exchange promotion we might see an increase in nodes and hash rate etc., we can but try! Basic web banners will go 'live' by this Friday.

For non-professional miners, CPU mining is more attractive.

Would be nice if you can have the stale gaps printed to screen so potential records could still be submitted.  Especially if it happened to be a new world record ie: 40+ merit so it wouldn't be lost.

Hello

Whenever you talk in GAP the difficulty increases and the value decreases .. I do not understand

Hello

Can you explain to me how you can have performance mining GAP in a VPS?

All my accounts were negative

Thank you

Mining difficulty has increased (on average) over the past few weeks. At a network difficulty of around 23 a single core CPU should still mine at least one block within 24 to 48 hours. At the current price this is now close to the threshold.

Remember that new Gapcoin blocks must mature 101 blocks before being spendable, so you might have mined blocks that are still to be credited to your balance?

We are perhaps a bit closer to having a new working pool. VPS instances will be able to continue mining using the standalone miner and hopefully also continue to run / off-set the cost of a full node.

Gapcoin has been profitable for myself (and others) long-term, however, like anything cryptocurrency this is very variable in the short-term.

Moreover, consider if you had mined an entire bitcoin block back in 2010-2011 and held that block until 2017-2018. Again, nothing is certain in the crypto space but as a general rule - quitters never win and winners never quit.

I wish you good luck and welcome you to mining gapcoin.

Would be nice if you can have the stale gaps printed to screen so potential records could still be submitted.  Especially if it happened to be a new world record ie: 40+ merit so it wouldn't be lost.

Indeed from a records perspective it would be ideal to retain or to at least present all data.

However, this is perhaps a bit like the Butterfly Effect i.e. stale shares and prime gap records are only really 'lost' ... like tears in the rain!

We know that commensurate with network difficulty increasing - new blocks will match and exceed existing records.

Hello

I will not discuss profitability in 2010/2011, what I say is that today I do not understand the difficulty> 23 and the price 172 sat.

Something tells me that something is not right or I am not following and I see no one to clarify.

As I said mining in vps is not rentable, I think pool will give the same, so coin with little financial interest.

Not necessarily, few are searching in the shift 400-600 range.  Pretty easy feature request to put a -g option which prints to screen the starting prime and gap length along with the current merit.  Plus gapcoin is missing out on marketing itself if its missing out on taking more length records.

How is it possible to work with this coin?

The mathematician I know is only that 2 + 2 = 4, plus it's working for who? or to be deceived .. or can you explain me why continue with this coin.

Nobody is engaged in advertizing of this project here, what does it mean. Any other crap-token has more marketing than this real altcoin.
