Enjoy your holidays

Thanks

I also want to thank you all for your great support,
without you Gapcoin wouldn't be where it is now.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Much love here.

Sorry, I need to catch up here.  What is the most efficient way to achieve more records?  First, is it through CPU or GPU mining?

GPU mining is faster, providing you have a CPU that can handle the work... so both really, or just a some good powered CPU's

Are there any direct scientific benefits to finding large prime gaps?

[sparkster]

What if somebody writes an article about Gapcoin on Wikipedia and adds a link to it in 'See also' part of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_gap? Or it's too early and project is not not big enough yet? Even an article about such a successful project as Primecoin was nominated for deletion. Do we have any "identifying reliable sources"?
Sorry, if somebody already expressed this idea, I don't read the thread closely.

omg price of gap is so low , cannot enough fee to order vps and maintain pc T_T

Greetings

I have just started mining this interesting coin and have a few questions.

Does anyone have any information on what a good ratio of GPUs per type of CPU would work best for this?

Currently I have been playing around with a rig that was originally setup for scrypt, which means the CPU is minimal.

I am running 3 GPUs (R9 270x) and think the bottle neck is currently the CPU, Intel Celeron 2.6 GHz dual core. Would this CPU be able to support 2 GPUs effectively, i.e. one GPU per CPU core or should I only use 1 GPU?


Update: Seems my original hunch was fairly accurate, shut one GPU down and getting about the same overall results. Previously with 3x GPUs I was getting about 500k hash each, for a total of about 1,500 khash. Now down to 2 GPUs seems they are averaging closer to 750k each, for the same total as before.

I even went down to one GPU for a test, but my setup seems to work best with 2 GPUs. I would also add that these hash rates are only averages, as the minute by minute fluctuation seems to vary widely. I have had individual GPUs span from 400 khash to 1,200 khash, so I am just using the longer term pool reported averages for my calculations.

Prime numbers are interesting for lots of mathematicians around the globe,
and they're also important to every day cryptography (see RSA).

Researches about prime gaps could not only lead to new breakthroughs in the bounded gap,
it may also help proving the Twin Prime Conjecture and maybe even the millennium problem,
the Riemann hypothesis. Who knows?

Gapcoin also broke several hundred records for new first known occurrence prime gaps:

http://www.trnicely.net/gaps/g6k.html

And they get more every day: http://gapcoin.org/primegaps-length.php

We also got listed within the world record list for the top-20 highest merits: http://primerecords.dk/primegaps/gaps20.htm

Gapcoin just got mentioned by kingscrown: http://fuk.io/december-2014-report-best-altcoins-and-cryptos-to-mine-and-invest-in-for-high-profits/

[hankrules]

wired.com just reprinted an article on prime gaps from Quanta magazine: http://www.wired.com/2014/12/mathematicians-make-major-discovery-prime-numbers/

No mention of gapcoin, though.

Has anyone been able to run the GPU miner on an Nvidia card or Amazon GPU instances? Trying to mine on my 750ti's without any success so far -

No one?

Looking to buy GAP off market. PM me with your price. It'll be done with an escrow. Only serious and non-ridiculous price.

[AdamWhite]

Getting the following error trying to mine on a 750ti. What am i doing wrong? Thanks

[Aleh777]

I still think that it is cheaper to produce mining algorithm x11 and change it to gapcoin.
1. There is a movement on the stock exchange in terms of buying these coins
2.Considering the price on gapcoin 1 day I go out 250 coins and more. (2 R9280x + 3 r9270) and the availability of good CPU I do not need to mining gapcoin.

What's the significance of the pi logo?

[Aleh777]

I wanted to ask, but what about the anonymity of this coin?

http://gapcoin.org/  The last paragraph answers the question.

I wanted to ask, but what about the anonymity of this coin?

It is as anonymous as bitcoin. So it isnt but anyway the purpose of the coin is not anonymity...
