I have been waiting for my graphic card so I can modify och compile the new code on my computer. Still waiting.
I have been targeting shift 39 for some time now but with no luck in finding a good merit.

You need to improve your Russian before you run it through Google translate. It's hard to understand.
A hardfork is just needed if something is broken or needed for future upgrades. There are not any benefits to clone broken code.

And Congratulations the one/ones mining the 800-1100 shifts.......A huge improvement from last year! I think BitcoinFX is the One/of the Ones

It's sad that such great project is dying. Interesting combination of distributed computing and cryptocurrency. Useful (in some sense) PoW. At least Riecoin still is slightly more alive. And I guess the owner of only existing exchange is some sort of fan of both these math coins, because they are both are still listed here. What a great exchange.
I cannot help GAP in any way. Maybe I can buy some, but without any interest in crypto community, without any update of software, without blockchain explorer, it's all pretty useless. If only some great mind would find this project to support it with some work just for sake of it. Maybe some GAP whale, lol.
Also it seems that 'math guys' for some strange reason are mostly anti-crypto in general, so there is not enough interest from this side. There are some forums about gap merits, but it seems they are not very interested in Gapcoin.
I hope somebody knows how to actually extract data about PoW calculations of network. The difficulty is very low, but amount of time == amount of PoW eventually, and this network is very old, so maybe some new records was hit during such long time? According to Wikipedia, we still have a world record, from year of 2017. At least this is one great thing.

It appears Gapcoin was delisted on https://chainz.cryptoid.info/. Is there anywhere else to reference a Gapcoin explorer?

Where had BitcoinFX gone?
Vanished again?
Keep Gappin lads.

Hey,
sorry for the delay.
The Gapcoin is definitely CPU friendly.
Mining from the wallet is a good way to get the best hashrate. A 3900x cpu will give you ~3M PPS (mining at shift 25-32). A rx580 gpu will give you ~1.6M PPS (mining at shift 64). It's all an 'efficience' question.
If you're more interested with the Maths behind and the CRT miner (shift 64-1024), feel free to come on Discord ! ((:
I'll give you more information about the different ways to mine the Gapcoin, and the related places, with pleasure.

Cheers !

I've tried this a few times now on mint and ubuntu (various versons18,20,22 etc) and never got it working.
If any one can help me get this working i'd love to give it a try.
What problem are you experiencing? Are you not getting a successful compilation? Does it compile okay but won't run? Does it run but can't connect to client?If any one can help me get this working i'd love to give it a try.
Cheers

Hi there,

If any one can help me get this working i'd love to give it a try.
I'm pretty dumb, so a full step by step guide is needed...
Thanks

It transpires that j0nn9 left us “an exercise for the reader” in the GapMiner rev5.1 code, just here:
https://github.com/gapcoin/GapMiner/blob/2f66e908e52dab503de77835f31ac1603b1c23fc/src/HybridSieve.cpp#L398
should read
The difference was causing GPU builds of the GapMiner rev 5.1 to segfault (on both AMD and nVidia).
I fixed that (along with some other compilation-blockers) and re-worked the Makefile so that it can be used to create either CPU or GPU miners (AMD and nVidia) without having to be edited to do so.
I've cloned gapcoin-project's GapMiner repos here https://github.com/gjhiggins/GapMiner, check out the README for details of how to compile gapminer and gpugapminer on Linux. When I'm satisfied that it works for people, I'll raise a PR on the gapcoin-project GapMiner repos and update that.
Thanks to benxy031 for providing that nVidia-compatible fermat.cl code, I've included it in the gpu subdirectory as fermatnv.cl and adjusted the miner code to load whichever OpenCL source file is compatible with the detected platform.
Cheers
Graham

Happy 8th Birthday, Gapcoin Project!
Thank you, Jonny, and all the Gapcoin's contributers, supporters, enthusiasts and sympathizers.
Fire up your rigs, new record prime gaps await us!

We moved the Gapcoin exchange from FreeBitcoins.com over to Altquick.com.
Everything is the same.
Good luck!

It is very reassuring that gap has managed to broker numberous partnerships with industry leaders in the past months. We are gearing up for a hike in user attention. This is to say that minor tweaks must be brought about in a mission to effect maturity growth. One such tweak is to rent a booty profligate starch for one night in a sepulchral hotel somewhere. Then ask her to buy buy buy if she refuses to acquire a stake in a coin slam her head from behind with ur limb. Lul what feckless noobs even find time to reply in this thread.

Is it profitable for cpu miner to mine this coin, I would like to try my spare ryzen cpu unit mining this coin, This is one of my favorite coin, but I have no chance before to mine it with my gpu's because it modified for ethereum algo.

Just wish to say your article is as surprising. The clearness for your post is simply spectacular and that i can suppose you are knowledgeable in this subject. Well together with your permission allow me to take hold of your feed to keep updated with imminent post. Thanks one million and please continue the rewarding work.안전놀이터
