So this is a take over team? is this Gapcoin ? https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/gapcoin it's really not promising based on the overview but you are right this is much better than those token hype that does ICO so keep it up hope you got many pools and miners to mine Gapcoin

Correct.

Also here: https://coinpaprika.com/coin/gap-gapcoin/ (updating).

...

"In 2017 (confirmed in early 2018) the Gapcoin network found a new prime gap of maximum known merit! 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. Source : https://faculty.lynchburg.edu/~nicely/ ...

... if the difficulty reaches (or spikes above) 41.94, every block will be a new world record!"


- https://gapcoin.club

...

Perhaps some new crypto exchanges will consider adding Gapcoin when we break our own record Prime Gap merit and contact Guinness World Records  ...

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_gap#Numerical_results

...

Keep your BTC, we want your CPU and GPU hash power!

" How mathematicians do it...

Combinatorists do it as many ways as they can.
Combinatorists do it discretely.
(Logicians do it) or [not (logicians do it)].
Logicians do it by symbolic manipulation.
Algebraists do it in groups.
Algebraists do it in a ring.
Algebraists do it in a field.
Analysts do it continuously.
Real analysts do it almost everywhere.
Pure mathematicians do it rigorously.
Topologists do it openly.
Topologists do it on rubber sheets.
Dynamicists do it chaotically.
Mathematicians do it forever if they can do one and can do one more.

Cantor did it diagonally.
Fermat tried to do it in the margin, but couldn't fit it in.
Galois did it the night before.
Möbius always does it on the same side.
Markov does it in chains.
Newton did it standing on the shoulders of giants.
Turing did it but couldn't decide if he'd finished. "

Gapcoin is a prime number based p2p cryptocurrency and the largest, decentralized prime gap search.

The original developer has sadly passed away, however the project is ongoing at: https://gapcoin.club

With increased hashing power (and continued development) the Gapcoin network will discover new Prime Gaps.

See: https://gapcoin.club/primegaps.php

Lets try to get cryptocurrency back in the news for all the right reasons again. Do it for the math and not just for the money.  Cheesy

Gapcoin thread here at bitcointalk.org - see: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=822498

Thank you.

EDIT: 5th June 2020 updated links and info.

How can I start to mining these Gapcoin? Do you have any guide line for set everything in the right way? I like to try mining new coins waiting for their PUMP Cheesy
If it is not stressfull for my cpu i will sett all my laptops to this kind of mining

Linux and Windows CPU pool mining guide can be found here:
- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=915439.msg54566909#msg54566909

You can still try to solo mine blocks in the wallet with CPU using the built in miner:
- https://gapcoin.club/windows-gui-setup.php

" How to start mining for Gapcoin in the QT Wallet.

To start mining for Gapcoin in your wallet go to:

Help > Debug window > Console and type in the following command at the prompt:

setgenerate true "


e.g.

> setgenerate true <number of CPU cores>

In-wallet (CPU) solo mining is still possible due to relatively low mining difficulty.

GPU solo mining (RPC / stratum) to the wallet and in the pool is also working.

Good luck!

Just come across this project today, it is a good project from the look of things but the website needs significant improvement, I do not know why some of these developers don't take their brand serious, though it is going to be difficult without ICO or VC money but consistent development the market is going to discover the project

Gapcoin is first and foremost an (open source) math / scientific project and then a cryptocurrency.

~ What is our 'brand' supposedly selling exactly? Prime Gaps of the highest merit as world records?

Gapcoin is currency / 'money'.

There will be no ICO.

We don't want or need VC 'money'.

Yes the 'market' will likely discover the project of its own accord, hopefully due to an increased understanding of what Bitcoin / blockchain / timechain technology can do, on its own merits.

...

For Gapcoin, it's the satoshi way or the highway ...

So sad that many people nowaday didn't see what this coin is all about, imagine they've started 2015 we were consider the team as part of pioneer in developing this kind of technology, I hope Gapcoin team will see the good spot in this present market.

If mining is done in the wallet, meaning if it inbuilt, then it's simple, you only have to download the wallet and click mine, or open a few ports and then your good to go, hope the new team will clarify.

Currently you can mine in the wallet with CPU or at the pool https://gap.suprnova.cc with CPU and/or GPU.

The latest linux build has an additional Mining Tab, so yes quite literally click > Start (mining).

A new windows release is in the pipeline, however CPU mining in the (windows) wallet is also easy ...

- https://gapcoin.club/windows-gui-setup.php ...

"To start mining for Gapcoin in your wallet go to:

Help > Debug window > Console and type in the following command at the prompt:

setgenerate true

Note that this will start the mining process using 100% of your CPU processing power! This is not currently advised if you are using a laptop computer or a tablet, if you intend to use your PC to complete day-to-day tasks or you are already GPU mining other crypto-currencies."


...

In the original Bitcoin release, as described by Satoshi in the Bitcoin whitepaper, nodes (wallets) were used to generate coins by CPU mining ...

- https://web.archive.org/web/20090303195936/http://bitcoin.org/

"You can get coins by getting someone to send you some, or turn on Options->Generate Coins to run a node and generate blocks. I made the proof-of-work difficulty ridiculously easy to start with, so for a little while in the beginning a typical PC will be able to generate coins in just a few hours. It'll get a lot harder when competition makes the automatic adjustment drive up the difficulty."

The same applies to Gapcoin, plus as the difficulty rises we will discover new world record prime gaps as part of the mining process.

Gapcoin is a math / scientific Bitcoin based altcoin, if anyone thinks this is a shitcoin, they don't understand Bitcoin PoW technology at all.

To automatically start mining when starting a wallet, you can write the following lines in the gapcoin.conf file
gen=1
getmin=true
genproclimit=here is the number of threads
to stop mining you can enter the "setgenerate false" command in the wallet console
but still I prefer the project zettelkasten  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3207356.0

*Shrugs*

Perhaps some new larger exchanges will eventually get around to listing Gapcoin and then other things might happen, including a better website etc.,

Unless you are volunteering to create a better one ?

...

Gapcoin has already outlived a plethora of altcoins. It's almost a museum piece (like this forum!)  Cheesy

This longevity alone might indicate that this ones a keeper against all odds, mathematical world records aside.

What is the use of this coin? is there any exchange available to sell this coin because if someone mine this coin then they need to sell it somewhere or use it right? Are there any investors at all for this project? That website is not very good to me and has nothing to attract whale investors. Is there any whitepaper available for the project or any place for recent project update?

Q. What is the use of this coin?

A. Gapcoin is a cryptocurrency (like Bitcoin BTC), it functions as a store of value and digital cash.

Gapcoin's PoW (mining process) also discovers Prime Gaps in new blocks whilst processing transactions.


Q. is there any exchange available to sell this coin because if someone mine this coin then they need to sell it somewhere or use it right?

A. Yes. https://freiexchange.com/market/GAP/BTC and soon https://c-patex.com/ and more ?

EDIT: adding: https://freebitcoins.com/xchange/market/Bitcoin-Gapcoin

Gapcoin was listed on poloniex, cryptopia and other now defunct crypto exchanges.

Other exchanges can list Gapcoin, although most of this industry now focuses on profit driven scams instead of interesting crypto / science projects.

Exchanges often want listing fees, which the Gapcoin community will not currently muster.

Did you know that when Bitcoin launched it was essentially valueless and no exchange services existed, whatsoever!


Q. Are there any investors at all for this project?

A. Personally, I don't give a hoot in regards to attracting 'whale' investors and/or promoting 'pump n dump' schemes or BS tokens.

Gapcoin is a cryptocurrency science project and a digital cash.


Q. That website is not very good to me and has nothing to attract whale investors.

A. gapcoin.org was the 'original' website started by the aforementioned developer, who sadly passed away.

https://gapcoin.club is my basic website offering, helping to maintain and to continue the project.

As we rebuild the community a better website may follow.


Q. Is there any whitepaper available for the project or any place for recent project update?

A. The original developer did not release a whitepaper for Gapcoin, which is essentially a Bitcoin based altcoin with some nice mathematically functional "bells and whistles" optimizations, for finding Prime Gaps.

Tried to compil from source and failed. Used the source on Gitlab and Github both are falling to build. Using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

The code seems to need a review, and you guys dev env should get updated. Also provide static linked binaries.

Work is in progress and yes we still have a lot to do to bring this project up-to-date.

Gapcoin will compile and run on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS just fine.

The Gitlab repo. is not yet a 'trusted' source for the project!

However, could you clarify if your compile issue was related only to the newer boost libraries?

All developers are of course welcome to get involved and contribute to the Gapcoin project.

STOP MINING GAPCOIN.

STOP SEARCHING FOR PRIME GAPS OF LARGEST KNOWN MERIT.

STOP DOING MATH.
