Digital Ocean Solo Mining Guide for Gapcoin !CPU only New math Algo!

[GreekBitcoin]

This is a new CPU coin with new algo that is searching from prime gaps. If difficulty  reaches 35.4245, every block will be a new world record!
ANN: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=822498.0

A pool came out. Check here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=830806.msg9369486#msg9369486

1) Please use my referral https://www.digitalocean.com/?refcode=9d68ca19e204 and create a droplet 2CPU 2GB Ram Ubuntu 14.04 64x . You can create larger droplets if you want but it must be 1GB or more.  Use this code TWITTER914 to earn 10$ more when creating the account.
2) Connect with putty using using ip and password or just write those in the console. You can always download putty from here http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html  Putty is better cause you can simply copy paste.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you connect it will ask you to change your password. Then you start copy pasting:

Code:

sudo apt-get update

Code:

sudo apt-get install p7zip-full

Code:

wget github.com/gapcoin/gapcoin/releases/download/v0.9.2-launch/linux.7z

Code:

7z x linux.7z 

Use this password to extract the file:

Code:

psd<C_p,[v,zq}^Q#7Zr0CjF2tN'E?

And continue copy pasting:

Code:

cd linux/64/static/

Code:

chmod +x gapcoind

Code:

sudo cp -f gapcoind /usr/local/bin/ 

Now copy paste all that below from cd to conf in one copy paste and press enter.

cd
mkdir -p .gapcoin
echo 'server=1
gen=1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
addnode=212.227.143.155
addnode=104.131.69.82
addnode=95.215.44.9
addnode=155.254.36.179
addnode=199.127.226.192
rpcuser=gapcoinMiner
rpcpassword=PASSWORD' > .gapcoin/gapcoin.conf

All above from cd to conf in one copy paste and press enter


Finally copy paste this one:

Code:

gapcoind --daemon 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now you have started mining and you should see your balance getting bigger.  You can do this for more than 1 droplets.

If there are any questions ask below.

How do check wallet balance? Not a big linux user for wallets. Also how to send coins out from wallet to "home" wallet?
Thanks for the work btw!!

Ughh yeah i forgot that!

To check mining stats and balance just type:  

Code:

watch 'gapcoind listaccounts & gapcoind getmininginfo '

Then you have to close 'watch mode' with Ctrl+C
 
To transfer coins:

Code:

gapcoind sendtoaddress GNigYHdFeQfb1a2L9kebZkMK6AtDMXNmue 1

thats my address obviously so you have to change this. 1 is the number of coins.

what is the best config price per primepersec wise?

1CPU
2CPU
4CPU
8CPU
16CPU

thanks

I would argue the most cost effective is 2CPU and many of them.

You can make more droplets than 5 if you send them some personal informations. But if you tell them you want to use the droplets for mining the will probably refuse to let you have more than 5 droplets. At least that was the case like 6 months ago...

[jawitech]

You might want to have a look at vultr.com (in case you don't want to use my reflink in sig )

Getting at M7M algo (coin XMG) nearly twice as much kh/s as with Digital Ocean for the same price. Unfortunately they don't offer the same bonus as DO but $5 credits for depositing $5 and they accept BTC as payment option.

It's been around the same timeline for me aswell.  When i mentioned mining they wanted nothing to do with me.  Most likely if you mine you will trigger more then average usage and have to jump through hoops giving them personal info.

how do I add a pool? for future ref

thanks guys

What do you mean add a pool?

[cryptoconomist]

thanks guys

What do you mean add a pool?

connect to a pool I guess... When one will be up

can we only solo mine?

I cant know what the pool will require. However this would probably work:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install git make build-essential g++ libgmp-dev libmpfr-dev libjansson-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev && git clone https://github.com/gapcoin/GapMiner.git && cd GapMiner && git submodule init && git submodule update && sudo make all && sudo make install && cd bin && screen -S gapminer ./gapminer -o poolipaddress -p poolport -u youraddress -x password -t numberofthreads

It downloads from git and compiles gapminer and then runs it with the options you need for mining...

Great guide - got my 5 cloud servers setup using vultr.com.  I love that they accept btc and I don't have to give up my credit card info.

Sending 10 GAP tip your way!

Just to consolidate a bit entering this will install and start running the miner in one entry:

Herewith an 'updated' solo mining guide (no pool exists at present) and hopeful for a Gapcoin resurgence.

If you have some free CPU power then try mining Gapcoin!

NEW PRIME GAP OF MAXIMUM KNOWN MERIT
- http://gapcoin.club/new-prime-gap-of-maximum-known-merit-press-release.php

The Gapcoin network (Jonnie Frey, developer), a Bitcoin derivative which employs a hashing algorithm to search for prime gaps of high merit, has discovered a new prime gap of maximum known merit, a gap of G=8350 following the 87-digit prime P1=293703234068022590158723766104419463425709075574811762098588798217895728858676728143227. The merit M=G/ln(P1) of this gap is M=41.93878373153988, the largest merit of any known prime gap, and the first prime gap to be discovered with a merit exceeding 40. The endpoints of the gap have been certified as primes deterministically, using the Akiyama-Kida-O'Hara UBASIC implementation (1988-1992) of the APRCL2 test, due to Adleman, Pomerance, Rumely, Cohen, H. W. Lenstra, and A. K. Lenstra (1984-1987).

- The original developer recently made an appearance to pay a bounty for the new world record ...

I have updated the Gapcoin_blockchain.zip download so that anyone can easily get started mining in the wallet within an hour or so.
