At the current difficulty level you will likely find a good number of blocks per day with CPU / solo mining in the Gapcoin wallet.
With a Ryzen 1800x running flatout i mine less than 50 coins a day, so unless you have a much better miner it is a complete waste of time
Pooled mining for Gapcoin is possibly getting closer once more.
Below you say another pool for some competition, a first pool would be a start
I'd like to see the project with at least three stable exchange listings, a second block explorer and another mining pool for some competition first! Wink
Also why on earth do we need a second explorer.....1 is plenty
Be careful with the 'old' GPU miner release, it has not really been tested for newer cards etc.,
Who cares about "newer" cards, nearly 2 years on and we still dont even have Nvidia miner, or an updated cpu miner
You do realize how much I'm doing behind the scenes to ensue the success of the Gapcoin project, despite all odds ?
Currently ...
I pay to renew the block explorer each month.
I pay for the hosting of the
https://gapcoin.club website.
I appreciate this, BUT why not also make available the option for people to donate to the cause? Most sites / explorers can have a simple BTC address where funds can be sent....
I pay for 10 cloud nodes which help to ensure bootstrapped network connectivity.
Completely pointless....the wallet needs to be open to mine this coin, so just allow the open wallets to be the backbone of the network, make available a monthly blockchain snapshot if requested....BUT absolutely no need to "PAY" for 10 nodes....complete nonesense, if the chain can't support itself with the open wallets, then it has no point being....
I spend countless hours doing background research, continuing development and doing outreach to folks who I think might be interested in the Gapcoin project.
I appreciate the hard work many people do behind the scenes for many coibs, BUT to be honest how many people care about the reason behind most projects. I am not slating GAPCOIN, but most coins, if you want to increase its chances of sucess, then you need 1000's of miners (supporters) not a few die-hard maths fans.....make the mining much more meaningful, and encourage the masses....let it pump n dump, let it do whatever it wants to do, but find a way to encourage the 100's / 1000's...the more u get mining it, the more GAPS they will find, the more MATHS they will do....
It would be interesting to know how many people are actively mining, and how many have the wallet open each day for say 1 month...then the truth will shine thru
1. Current or past value might not reflect future value i.e. probably not
a complete waste of time.
2. Two block explorers are better than one or none. The same applies to exchanges.
3. You have clearly never 'fried' any of your hardware / cards !?
4. 'Donation' addresses will be added to the website.
5. The 10 cloud nodes I'm running do also CPU mine 24/7 and find blocks ... when the network is larger these will likely be reduced.
Most Gapcoin nodes / wallets are not port forwarded for incoming connections!
My
https://gapcoin.club nodes have insured that this network has had a 'backbone' for a considerable duration.
6. Well aware of the chicken and egg situation that Gapcoin has been in since the original dev. passed away.
Compiling the daemon is still tricky on newer linux releases and that needs fixing with another new repo. now that Graham has also sadly gone.
The PoW-Core needs to be properly integrated, one issue being that much has changed with GitHub as well as some other factors for compiling the wallet software since the original releases.
Graham has actually done an excellent job in presenting exactly what needs to be done (in his thread posts) for anyone who picks this up.
Gapcoin needs a good 'team' of developers before much else and the much else is not really forthcoming because of this current situation.
Any other suggestions ?
The potential with Gapcoin is still immense!
