this could indeed be GPU's in operation, he is scoring large number of blocks and consistent, he overrode others with 1 to 3 million and is trying to "corner" supply quick.. not good

that or he/she launched 100,000 PPS x 10 x 8 = 80 servers x 50 cents per hour each... (40$ a hour!) AWS .. that would be down right brave

116 left   Autolycus   11/03/2014 00:21:05   22.4675   22.4678   28,325   83,020   127,856   451.39

With spot instances its a lot cheaper than that. One c3-8xlarge is ~25 cents per hour für ~135,000 pps.


at 25c my instance was killed after 2 hours (trust me I tried) at 40cents it was killed, had to redo setup (this was few days back) so conservative is 50cents or 55 cents I was getting approximately 108K PPS consistent

even at 25 cents.. (if survived and autolycus is surviving without interruption) it is still a lot of money, so something else is going on there

I doubt he is operating at 25 cents , thats very low for AWS double that as said

Thats ~15$ per hour with on average about 5 Blocks. Actually profitable!

another forensic observation is "he/she" is donating, this can only mean a group of individuals trying to raise difficulty level for the "good of the coin" which makes sense if they don't pull back suddenly

Want to Buy GAP, a large batch. PM me.


There's a nice 60k sat sell order on polo now. I'm a miner, i dont understand how/why they sell so cheap.

One miner with 6.8 million pps at pool? Really??

Is this a multiple choice question?

a) BotNet
b) GPU miner
c) optimized CPU miner
d) any of the above

I know that one of them (red wine or not) is correct.

1. launched a computer class.
2. Network computers at work.
3. Rental power CPU

May be.

Yes I have seen even bigger fish with other coins. Remember that a lot of people have far more resources than typical miners like us.
Btw I have great news. The main designer from Shadowcoin, who also designed a lot of others coins (IOC, CLOAK..) has agreed with me to redesign the GAP website and make the new logo. I will keep you inform.

 Exploit .?
 hope pool owner not  eating our coins  Sad
We need some p2pools .

To me the primes/s metric looks to be useless.  It is a counter which is only incremented when a composite isn't found which makes it a valid comparison only for the same sieve parameters.

At the moment its a useful metric as everyone is using the same implementation. I agree this needs to be changed soon.

Hi All,

To me the primes/s metric looks to be useless.  It is a counter which is only incremented when a composite isn't found which makes it a valid comparison only for the same sieve parameters.

Example; assume that there are on average 100 non-composite number in the gap to test, your chance of finding a block is primes/s divide by 100 multiplied by the chance of a gap.

Now lets increase the efficiency of the sieve (add more primes) so that you only have 80 non-composite numbers to test.  The equation used above is now wrong by 25% and your reported primes/s has hardly changed at all.

This also means profit calculators based on primes/s are not accurate if you change 's' or 'r' when mining.

Using 10g/s or 15g/s would be a better method to calculating profits as it includes a way of seeing the effects of sieve efficiency.

In two day http://coinia.net/gapcoin/faucet.php given away 100 GAP! It is 1000 payments. That's a lot when you consider that there captcha and one wallet or IP address can only get coins once a day.

I lowered the payment amount of 10 times and put on the account 10 GAP.

perfect

another positive development 447 workers engaged GAP on the pool as of this moment, once GPU miner is released expect this number to double really quick and difficulty rise.. think twice before selling now  Cool

observing all this with amazement, it is all interesting how reward was structured although rising difficulty will balance higher reward per block
