I hope i'm not too late!! Mining on 7 servers, hope i hit a block soon.

Anyone working on getting Gapcoin on a real exchange? (Bittrex would be nice)
Anynews on Pool?
please if you get GPU working be nice and share don't mine on your own for 10days... (probably too much to ask)
Found 2 blocks in 16hrs
55000 ppd

It is quite soon for a better exchange. Lets see if a pool pops in a few days or maybe weeks. Meanwhile we have to bring more people with CPUs to mine...I wanna see diff going higher first.
I believe that GPU wont come so fast. But not sure.
It's a nice experiment but unless this coin is used for something it will die...
It's already difficult to mine, people won't join unless it hit a good exchange or you can do something with it.
I think the dev team should work on the usefulness of the coin then exchanges will follow.
Wait You exchanger. no pool for coin.

Who has registered in Twitter, please write them (1gh.com) about the creation of a pool for gapcoin.

Don't joke! It's an ad not a mining pool!!
Just informing everyone of how to obtain some 'free' cloud mining for when we have a working pool.
It's probably worth mining on windows azure instances in the wallet right now to support the network and to perhaps find a few extra blocks.
October 26, 2014, 07:30:53 PM
For those that have not already signed up for the windows azure free trial offer - See: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/
You get enough credits for 2 x powerful 8-core CPU instances for around 5 to 7 days worth of mining. N.B. The 2008 server instances are cheapest to run.
When Gapcoin has a working pool:
- http://labs.runabove.com/power8/ - has $32 of free credit currently - Steadfast resources S with 1 x CPU seem to be the best option at $9
- http://www.hpcloud.com/cloud-credit - "Get a $300 cloud credit when you try HP Helion Public Cloud"
Looking forward to finding some new Prime Gaps.

j0nn9 i would propose that you write on the title of the OP something like that 'New Math Algo - CPU only'
also 'decentralized' is pretty much obvious since it is a bitcoin based cryptocoin...
My title would probably be: [ANN][GAP] Gapcoin-Searching for Prime Gaps-New Math Algo-CPU only-Zero Premine
Many people are searching for CPU coins and are interested in new algos but the title wont probably attract them.

Thanks for your suggestion, i've edited the title.
Also is there thinking about decreasing time required for block reward halving? Since rewards are actually getting raised a bit with diff and since today is not 2009 anymore i would argue that 2 years for halving is rather much. I would propose a quite fast halving time of 6 months or even more aggressive like 3 months. My thinking is that this way it would trigger more speculating and faster. And even if it is too steep and probably create bubble situations it would also probably generate enough pressure so that we can have nice hashrate peaks rather early and try to break some records. 2 years halving time seems a bit rather stagnating especially in a crypto world that everythig changes every half a year.
I would like to see some chat on that matter. Especially now that the coin is 5 days old and noone is going to have the upper hand.

This would imply a hard fork.
So, i would only consider it, if there is a wide approval for it.

Yeah! Do it please

Mining hardware comparison: http://gapcoin.org/hardware-comparison.php
You can submit your own stats on the site.
The statistics posted in this thread are already added.
Mining on an Intel Core i7 using 8 threads since launch (on and off) so have found a couple of blocks. Just submitted some stats.
CPU-Z - http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html - Is quite useful for windows CPU info.
...
Quite surprising that more people are not actively mining this, guess crypto currency has become more about the 'money' and less about the math and science.
Should certainly be a lot more interest in Gapcoin when a working pool is up and running though I'm guessing.
People are too busy mining the latest bitcoindogedarkstealthcoin. Fine by me. Makes it easier to mine for now.

Error: Error parsing JSON:genproclimit
i keep getting this error when trying to set to unlimited what am i missing here ?
EDIT: nevermind I just restarted the mining and now its good

The miner simply finishes without errors/messages.
Could you make a valgrind memcheck dump or something similar, to trace back the problem.

where do I add setgenerate exactly ?
help > debug window > console
setgenerate true

Not finding any blocks for quite a while....anyone else?
I am mining on 6 different comps ranging from 10-30k pps.
I am using setgenerate true from wallet, should I be using something else?

I had something similar, and found that my comps were kinda finding blocks, but most were orphans due to not keeping up with the network (comparing my top block to the block explorer top block). I've been watching my network connections, thinking it might have something to do with losing connectivity to nodes so it just stays on some blocks for longer than it's supposed to.
I added all the nodes in the OP too, but I haven't found any blocks that I know of since I started watching it. I've got 43k pps, so they're usually quite a few hours inbetween.
I did find two legit blocks today though, so big win from the last few days when I ended up with 1 block on the 23rd, 1 block on the 22nd, and 3 on the 21st.
Hopefully others can weigh in their results as well, or the dev can tell us if this is correct.
Gapcoin has the listed nodes hard coded, but if you did not add them to your config, it uses them only for the initial connection and then connects to random nodes.
So yes, it could be that you got some weak one.
Adding the listed nodes could help, but if everyone connects to them, then they will become the "weak nodes" because of the heavy network load.

use 7zip: http://www.7-zip.org/
Thanks, so to start mining with the wallet all we have to do is add setgenerate true?
Yes
where do I add setgenerate exactly ?
