Minerja,

Check the issues tab on Github.......

Hopefully you can get it working, however I suspect without a couple of developers or so it won't happen.  It is mostly boost errors so it won't be a problem for a dev to clone and fix simple really most of it is trivial to fix even the SSL to 1.1, but Trisquel is the best operating system for mining anyway so no need to move forward yet.  Trisquel works due to still using boost 1.58 which is key as well as using SSL-Dev 1.0.2 which is supported up to 2020 but it is possible GNU-Linux might still maintain SSL 1.0.2 instead of switching.  (I don't know)

However for now, TRISQUEL.INFO operating system is the current up to date DEFAULT Linux miner for Gapcoin.  DEFAULT BY DESIGN INSTEAD OF DEFECTIVE BY DESIGN.

Defective by Design is a GNU side project to patch holes in the Defective By Design mentality of Linux Operating systems. 

Trisquel furthermore is far superior to Ubuntu in many ways which I posted previously on this forum

HTTPS default for operating system updates ect........

Use my signature links for compilation.  Everything is there. 

RUN FREE IS THE TRISQUEL MOTTO, TRISQUEL IS DEFAULT BY DESIGN

MINT is compatible with Ubuntu software repositories, so what errors are you currently getting ?

Have you tried installing the math repositories for Gapcoin and/or the tool kits etc.,

...

Still not 100% sure if we might have access to the original Gapcoin repo. on Github ...

Opening a 'cloned' version is required for continued development. I can clone it and allow developers or so can anyone else, so at this juncture its really down to who is present here on the forum.

Hi,
Any chance someone can compile a wallet to work on Mint 19.1 64bit please.
I know nothing about Linux, and have tried for 2 days to run the compiled files, and to build from source, but too many errors for me.

UsernameNumber7,

The miners are OK. Any cloud instances that I have running are cpu limited to around 64% and just run the in-wallet linux miner!

The crt rpc miner I run with around 2-4 cores (summer/winter) along with the in-wallet miner running 4-6 cores (summer/winter). It is the crt miner which helps to push up the network difficulty of course (less blocks, but making paths to higher merits).

I don't feel that we need worry to much about the nature or possibility of newer encryption methods at this juncture. You are right though, research and development in this field is advancing quickly. We will attract good developers to work on Gapcoin, I'm sure.

I remain a renegade to the consensus.  

...

Bad news - Gapcoin got removed from coinmarketcap .com - along with a whole bunch of older alts. - due to trading volume being 'to low' and despite myself contacting them. I will get info updated and widgets added for coingecko and coinpaprika etc., The new exchanges will be contacted / listed soon hopefully. The priority is to find a market that will allow Gapcoin trading for US citizens.

Good news - Piday is approaching ...
- https://www.piday.org/ (countdown)

Via twitter Gapcoin Club (in memory of Jonny) will be commencing a Gapcoin giveaway for #Piday. Likely ...

3.14159265 GAP per. (genuine) twitter account. up to 3141.59265358 in total, first come, first served etc.,

(TBD) I'm also considering an amount of Gapcoin for the Giveaway which would be allocated to say accounts which are obviously involved in mathematics / crypto / cryptography ... say 31.41592653 GAP or more? The community would need to help with this one.

Announcement will 'go live' on or before 1st March 2019.

The Gapcoin Club website will host a page for stuff that the community would like to fund (our own roadmap) i.e. paid exchange listings, bounties etc., (if we all require escrow then that is OK with me obviously). Anyhow, lets get things done.

Basically, I'd like to have a really good last run with the original developers version, before we start tinkering.

BitcoinFX, your miners do pretty good. 

This being a 32bit coin and small block sizes does favor your method more for getting blocks into the chain.

I see you are getting nice 19,000-20,000 length primes.  With generally higher merits than the base.

However I don't see any future for 32 bit projects not even bitcoin itself.  But I imagine their will be a Bitcoin Split that will adapt to newer encryption so holding bitcoin might not be bad.  Even though it is obvious to me that a simple fix for Gapcoin would be apparently most programmers got the automated project generators mastered.  So no need for real programmers.  As Project generators generate the most profit for their handlers for the least amount of work and translate back into bitcoin mafia home base coin.   



 

Your wallet can sync. by adding nodes from here:

- https://gapcoin.club/windows-gui-setup.php

Solo mine (using CPU's) in the GUI wallet (as per the link) and at the current difficulty you should find a block! Good luck!

 

i found only ~5%  of all blocks per day

my wallet is not sync..
how do i mine solo for this coin?

How's about dropping some hashrate and lettting others share some blocks? Then we can all held support the coin. Not much support if its a 1 man band.

i support this coin from first day, i don't need profit.

LOL.
Fair enuff.
No point anyone else mining it.
I'm guessing even with all that you're only mining about $3 a day?

i try crt miner too. Two days no blocks, switch to RCP mining and all ok )

Welcome!

TBH the network difficulty dropped and then rose up again when you were likely testing the crt miner. However, yes, as a general rule the crt miner will find 'better' prime gaps (higher merit) over the in-wallet miner which is optimized for finding blocks at relative difficulty.

This is not always the case though, mining with the crt miner can be fruitful !

Try RPC mining with the 896 crt set with a couple of cores whilst mining with the majority in-wallet ?

Getting Stratum working is much more efficient than using RPC ! Mining over Tor will also result in around 10 to 15% less block avg. due to latency etc.,

The community here is going to have to fund new opportunities and awareness for Gapcoin. Whilst I can help to facilitate this I can only do so much with limited community support. Again, more soon.

Hi,

Thanks for the assist.
Tried the crt method for 24 hrs....no blocks
Tried gapminer 4.1 no params for 24hrs...no blocks
Tried wallet directly, 5 block in 24hrs, so no idea why the others are so crap, but the wallet works.
Only thing is, need 1000 coin, or 200 blocks a day, just to earn $1.
Seems pretty pointless mining. (unless someone comes up with a much better miner)
Better to buy and hodl

Hi, thanks for that

 How can I "use" more cpu and ram please?

A step-by-step guide for CRT mining will be produced for the https://gapcoin.club website

However, assuming your using windows

First you have to get RPC enabled in the localhost Gapcoin wallet.

Stop Gapcoin and from the start prompt navigate to ...

%APPDATA%\Gapcoin\

and create gapcoin.conf or if the .conf already exists (edit) ...

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Gapcoin\gapcoin.conf

ensure the gapcoin.conf contains the following (save it and restart gapcoin) ...

listen=1
daemon=1
server=1
port=31469
rpcport=31397
rpcuser=gapcoinrpc
rpcpassword=yourrandomgapcoinrpcpassword

...

Now download and unzip ...

- https://gapcoin.network/downloads/gapminer-cpu-crt-rev5-windows.zip
- https://gapcoin.network/downloads/gapminer-cpu-crt-rev5.1-windows.zip

Navigate to C:\ and create a new folder 'gapminer'

From gapminer-cpu-crt-rev5-windows / windows / 64 - copy the crt folder (and contents) to C:\gapminer

From gapminer-cpu-crt-rev5.1-windows / windows / 64 - gapminer-cpu.exe to C:\gapminer

Second mouse button click on gapminer-cpu.exe to create a Shortcut to launch it from your desktop.

Now second mouse button click on the desktop Shortcut and add the command line arguments for the miners settings to Target: i.e.

C:\gapminer\gapminer-cpu.exe -o http:// 127.0.0.1 -p 31397 -u gapcoinrpc -x yourrandomgapcoinrpcpassword --shift 64 --crt crt/crt-22m-64s.txt --threads 14 --fermat-threads 13 --sieve-primes 50000

Click apply and save and then click on the shortcut to start the miner.

The shifts correspond with the CRT sets for the 22 MERIT range ... So, no need to play with anything really until the difficulty is back to 23 or above. I'm working on optimizing the higher sets.

Notes:
Gapcoin must be running on the localhost with the same rpcuser and password.
The crt sets must be in the corresponding and correct named folder.
-t or --threads is number or cores (threads) less 2 for best performance and fermat-thread is 'usually' optimal at one less than threads.

Do let me when you get it working. No real need to play around with optimizing anything until you get a feel for it.

...

Realizing that Jonnie Frey was a pianist can help us to understand his work.

Mining Gapcoin can be easy or if you prefer you can play like Tetris ...
