And now how is 
Value Out (840000) = 1/2 = 5.xxxxx / For Sale <0.00000134
Coin with no interest to market

Agreed, a couple pools would be beneficial. Also getting the records updated more regularly, it's about three months old @j0nn9 http://gapcoin.org/primegaps-length.php
Gives more impression this thing isn't dead.
Indeed. I'd like to get records presented and updating 'live' via https://gapcoin.club website - however, that will require a server upgrade to one with a whole bunch of RAM, and for where we are now I see other things taking priority.
For on-boarding new users I've started looking at options for web wallets and contacted the developer of piWallet.
- https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-piwallet-opensource-online-altcoin-wallet-911212
They also mentioned a mobile wallet (need to review it currently).
It's an open source script and I would handle some security additions + Tor access for the web wallet etc., I'm not really a fan of web wallets, although we would be able to add a proof-of-reserve (in gapcoin holdings) to provide immediate remedy in the event of something catastrophic.
...
Contacted https://walletgenerator.net/ and adding gapcoin via
- https://github.com/MichaelMure/WalletGenerator.net/wiki/How-to-add-a-new-currency
...
Anyhow, I have some other projects which must now take a priority over this, but know that I am continually working on background stuff and will keep infrastructure running / updated.
August 08, 2018, 08:55:02 AM
For future development input I will try to contact j0nn9 once again to ask his position.
Without question, we need an updated software release, a fresh thread on bitcointalk.org (or the ability to at least edit the OP) and a couple of mining pools to affirm any new community interest and hashing power.
Aside from independent peer review, I don't envisage many immediate pitfalls in this regard and/or that cannot be solved with a good capable team.
In terms of Bitcoin Core I feel that we could aim for v0.12.1 (without SegWit etc.,) and then cherry-pick somewhat on the way up.
As previously stated the current v0.9.2 Gapcoin release is still doing OK for now.
It's probably advisable to set the following additions in the gapcoin.conf ;
upnp=0
dbcache=256
#dbcache=128 # on low-RAM instances
#paytxfee=0.00006500 # will certainly not break the bank with $1 to $100+ of value.
We know that scaling in the short-term is probably just fine.
...

Nobody is engaged in advertizing of this project here, what does it mean. Any other crap-token has more marketing than this real altcoin.
The social context here has unfortunately become centralised to the dead hand at the controls. The dev posted here recently for the first time in years about a gap record but apparently remains otherwise uninterested, with the inevitable consequence that the group has accrued a debilitating amount of technical debt.Such a clearly-communicated lack of interest isn't going to go unnoticed and the negativity it signals effectively dissuades people from taking any positive initiative, despite this being an inherent Teal org (https://minkiz.co/library/a-different-perspective-on-cryptocurrency.html).
Business as usual in altcoinland, I'd say.

Indeed and thanks for the interesting read!
Gapcoin is the altcoin equivalent of building a Large Hadron Collider, checking that it 'works', watching it deliver some predicted results and then just leaving it to gather dust, like a power plant in temporary shutdown.

What exactly do you mean by this phrase.
"Plus gapcoin is missing out on marketing itself if its missing out on taking more length records."

Not on the forum no. However, I've been building up traffic rank across various free Traffic Exchanges for several months now.
Have also put a very basic banner into rotation - the click rate is low, although slightly more clicks (currently) than the basic Bitcoin banner I promoted in the same fashion in 2010...

Coin issuance is based on a logarithmic spiral.

Increased mining difficulty will find larger prime gap records and will help to discover things we don't already know about our universe e.g. new merit world prime gap records.

It's a bit frustrating when this happens:

[2018-07-17 18:55:30] Found Share: 29.9036025 => stale!
Would be nice if you can have the stale gaps printed to screen so potential records could still be submitted. Especially if it happened to be a new world record ie: 40+ merit so it wouldn't be lost.

Indeed from a records perspective it would be ideal to retain or to at least present all data.
However, this is perhaps a bit like the Butterfly Effect i.e. stale shares and prime gap records are only really 'lost' ... like tears in the rain!
We know that commensurate with network difficulty increasing - new blocks will match and exceed existing records.
"Your record prime gap has now been assimilated by the borg!"
Not necessarily, few are searching in the shift 400-600 range. Pretty easy feature request to put a -g option which prints to screen the starting prime and gap length along with the current merit. Plus gapcoin is missing out on marketing itself if its missing out on taking more length records.

Hello
Can you explain to me how you can have performance mining GAP in a VPS?
All my accounts were negative
Thank you
Mining difficulty has increased (on average) over the past few weeks. At a network difficulty of around 23 a single core CPU should still mine at least one block within 24 to 48 hours. At the current price this is now close to the threshold.
Remember that new Gapcoin blocks must mature 101 blocks before being spendable, so you might have mined blocks that are still to be credited to your balance?
We are perhaps a bit closer to having a new working pool. VPS instances will be able to continue mining using the standalone miner and hopefully also continue to run / off-set the cost of a full node.
Gapcoin has been profitable for myself (and others) long-term, however, like anything cryptocurrency this is very variable in the short-term.
Moreover, consider if you had mined an entire bitcoin block back in 2010-2011 and held that block until 2017-2018. Again, nothing is certain in the crypto space but as a general rule - quitters never win and winners never quit.
I wish you good luck and welcome you to mining gapcoin.
Hello
I will not discuss profitability in 2010/2011, what I say is that today I do not understand the difficulty> 23 and the price 172 sat.
Something tells me that something is not right or I am not following and I see no one to clarify.
As I said mining in vps is not rentable, I think pool will give the same, so coin with little financial interest.

+ It's still comparatively easy to mine gapcoin in-wallet and to find blocks with just a single core CPU. I'd certainly recommend all new users to try mining some first...
Higher total network hashing power means that the gapcoin network will find larger prime gaps.
