There are a few dependencies missing in minerstat keeping it from mining...So I'm casually working on it as time allows

Good to see all this recent activity. It's sad j0nn9 is no longer with us, but Gapcoin should continue.

I am toying around with adding the GPU miner into the Minerstat OS. I have it halfway done and I will test some in the next few days. Maybe it will help with some of the issues in the past of trying to mine with more than one GPU.
Sounds superb ...

Gapcoin mining difficulty rising in the last 24hrs on or just above 22. Finally starting to regain some traction !?

I really don't have time to play your games.
And I don't have time to heed your rantings. I made myself crystal clear in https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.54439927The basic truth is that I'm pushing 70 and the relative inactivity of long hours spent at the keyboard is becoming increasingly prejudicial to my overall heath, so for my own sake I'm obliged to reduce my level of engagement. This entails aggressively managing others' expectations and not allowing my schedule to be held hostage to random public misperceptions.
Now you know the meaning of "aggressively managing others' expectations".Gapcoin now has a community-led Github repository of its own: https://github.com/gapcoin-project which is now host to all the associated Gapcoin repos (i.e. Gapcoin, Gapminer and the submodules Gapcoin-PoWCore, Evolution and C-Utils). I strongly recommend that you sign up for a (free) Github account, at least so you can be automatically informed by email of changes to the Gapcoin project resources even if you don't wish to contribute to the project directly (e.g. by helping to maintain the project web site, see below).

No one here is playing any games.
We are simply trying to maintain what is perhaps the very best scientific / math coin to grace both bitcointalk and the altcoin space in general.
You asked some questions here:

I responded with some constructive suggestions here:

As to did Graham here:

and here:
- https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.54635430
Then you proceeded to waffle on at everyone here:

Constructive criticism and participation in project development is always welcome ... thank you!

I understand you have not polished your knob with me yet, but there is no need for foreplay. Maybe we can meet at Trumps golf course later in the bathroom?
If you don't want to update the code for everyone, I linked the Github repository with the fix?
? Your fix is to make everyone to do it manually, because you have a problem with me?
Who would I address to change code on your own 9.4 Gapcoin wallet??? Will you put a block onto the 9.4 code like you did the last wallet if you don't like someone?
If you and BitcoinFX want to promote this coin I suggest you go FULL Satashi and NOT use Berkeley Database 4.8.
I know both of you don't know why, because it is a HARDWARE issue.
FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF.
Deepin 20 lists very detailed hardware information also.
Intel chips still use 39 bits physical hardware with 48 bit emulation.
I guess you software fools have it all dialed down to control all the hardware, to slow play everything and everyone.
It really will be 200 years at this rate before even 48 bit physical chips and 64 bit emulation computers.
I understand it is hardware so sorry for actually sharing without making you do it all yourself. As you knew it all already anyway. But it is for the public?

AMD HD7950 rocking here on the pool..CPU miner does still work.
Currently untested. If someone would like to confirm that cpu mining on windows is still working in the pool with gapminer-rev4 that would be great!
It's fine on Windows 7 32&64 bits.
It's fine on Windows 10 32&64 bits.
Champion !
...
Anyone digging out older AMD graphics hardware for testing the GPU miner releases ?
Remember that the sieve still runs on the CPU, so 4 cores min. approx. + 8GB RAM min. recommended.

Hi ! Is this coin beign trade on anywhere or may i ask, whats the point of resurrecting an old coin?
Thank you !
Gapcoin is listed on Freiexchange - https://freiexchange.com/market/GAP/BTC. Thank you !
Gapcoin hasn't been resurrected, the community have been collectively contributing prime gap records continuously since the coin's launch in Oct 2014.
Gapcoin's proof-of-work is effected by searching for large prime gaps and the rationale for this is detailed on the gapcoin.org web site. I provide a summary for convenience:
Quote
prime number based p2p cryptocurrency, which tries to eliminate the sticking points of other scientific currencies like Primecoin or Riecoin.
[...]
The big improvement in comparison to Bitcoin is that instead of burning electricity for its own sake, Gapcoin's Proof of Work function actually does useful work by searching for large prime gaps.
[...]
Prime numbers are interesting for lots of mathematicians around the globe, and they're also important to every day cryptography (see RSA). Researches about prime gaps could not only lead to new breakthroughs in the bounded gap, it may also help proving the Twin Prime Conjecture and maybe even the millennium problem, the Riemann hypothesis. Who knows?"
If you're interested in further details, I recommend that you visit the gapcoin.org web site. (Note, some of the links no longer resolve, following the death of the developer in 2017, see https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.48934549).[...]

Gapcoin currently holds the record for the largest prime gap with merit exceeding 40 (see also https://primegap-list-project.github.io/)

IME, to get the best chance of a positive outcome from a public appeal for help ...
1. Indicate which branch of the coin you are using (in this case, original 0.9.2, updated 0.9.3 or experimental 0.9.4)
2. Indicate which platform and OS version you are using.
3. Indicate the nature of the problem and any error messages that you are seeing.
4. Indicate the steps you have already taken to try and fix the problem.
Cheers

Trying to compile using Parrot OS 4.9
Seems to compile fine using Deepin 20 and Linux Mint, but not Parrot OS.
You erroneously presume that I feel obliged to provide support for arbitrary OS distros. I'll make it clear - if there's a general issue with a mainstream distro affecting a number of users then I might well be minded to help, if I can.Seems to compile fine using Deepin 20 and Linux Mint, but not Parrot OS.
