Topic: [ANN][GAP] Gapcoin - Prime Gap Search - New Math Algo - CPU / GPU - Zero Premine - page 46. (Read 287669 times)

Anyone willing to share set up for cpu miner? Is it better cpu or gpu mining?

I will try to build a gapcoin node from your repository Mr. Higgins.  

Could you happen to incorporate the Unlimited Add Nodes into Gapcoin by default?  

Github for Unlimited Add Nodes

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/9319

If we could get most miners using dual stack .onion/ipv4 mining we would be much better off than relying on ssl for tcp connections.  

For Dual Stack locate the .gapcoin folder using the Ctrl H button on your home folder to reveal the hidden folders.  open .gapcoin if you have already started gapcoin after compiling the software with github.  

create a file named gapcoin.conf and add this config terms to it

proxy=127.0.0.1:9150
bind=127.0.0.1
onion=127.0.0.1:9150
listen=1
discover=1


TORRC CONFIG TERMS

Here is the example to add to your TorBrowserBundle Torrc file assuming it is located on your desktop and using linux mint or ubuntu or trisquel os.  

Note this is only for the Alpha Build TBB which supports the new V3 Onion Services with 256 bit keys.  

HiddenServiceDir /home/YOUR_COMPUTER_NAME_HERE/Desktop/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Tor/hsv3
HiddenServiceVersion 3
HiddenServicePort 31469 127.0.0.1:31469



GAPCOIN DOES SUPPORT THE VERSION 3 ONION SERVICES

I managed to connect two computers using the Onion V3 services..............


Pick 2-4 addnodes to put at the top of your add node list in gapcoin.conf than add regular nodes

addnode=jcs5iofila6pj44tvjlhtxfhzgc6pagx5xinij7kiow5poyhjmnswdad.onion

This is exactly what your gapcoin.conf should be to mine using Gapcoins ONION ROUTING VERSION 3 SERVICES and hopefully we can have the "Unlimited AddNodes
 to Gapcoin so we can just throw as many nodes on here in any order and have a TRUE Decentralized Prime G.A.P. supercomputer with every worker working together and sync with each other.  (INDEPEDENT OF COUNTRIES ISP BLOCKING) If we could connect 100 or 1000 or better 10,000 .onion miners together it would simplify a lot of the coding work to protect G.A.P. network from attacks.  I will add 8 to start......................

Good work, go on giving the news.

Steady on, I'm still putting it through its paces, I haven't even addressed the test suite yet, nor is there anything other than a Linux Mint build atm, so it's a bit experimental. The work area is: https://github.com/gjhiggins/gapcoin

There is already a new wallet /Satoshi:0.9.5/ (Node List for /Satoshi:0.9.5/ - 88.98.87.243) ?

Where is the download from it?

Can someone explain what these transactions are doing?  Why do they generate such large gap amounts.  Is that address really paying 18-30 Gap just in transaction fees?

Mr. Graham  thanks for your interest in the G.A.P. project we need every team member we can get.  Hopefully you could help commit changes on github? 

I uploaded the correct steps to github under issues which should help you build the Gap system under Ubuntu type systems to avoid starting a new thread which has been under discusion due to my lack of usage of github.  But I find it simple enough.  It took me a while to figure out how to login to Bitcointalk here with the new captcha safely.

I use Trisquel OS to build gap wallets.  I don't know what type OS you use, but debian should work, I have tried many OS outside of windows but not much success outside of Trisquel OS. 

Building the wallet would be the first step I imagine.

Thank you @gjhiggins, always interesting work and contributions! PM sent.

Also found myself with even less time to contribute to getting gapcoin really moving again, however quite a few good developers and math folks are now becoming increasingly interested in this project. I will be moving the set (tentative) milestones forward.

Gapcoin has remained a Math project first and crypto-currency second of course. Having a functional meta data explorer for prime gap records will be most excellent indeed!

Thanks for the kind words, PTG. I've been able to make some headway since then and am now in a position to lend a hand on the technical side but, as with BitcoinFX, there are limits to what I can undertake both in terms of technical skills and allocatable time. I can start by taking a look at the options for “moving forward”.

This post is really just an initial communication of interest and a delayed positive reponse to BFX' enquiry, I haven't yet had time to go through the code and abstract out the key differences that distinguish the Gapcoin codebase from its cloneparent but that is usually my first port of call when first building an understanding of the coin's functioning.

Completely independently, I can create an ACME adaptation for Gapcoin (each adaptation is in its own branch). ACME is a cheap'n'cheerful means of adding a fair amount of persistent value as just a Python web app that presents metadata obtained by i) the coin's JSON RPC API and ii) a SPARQL endpoint.

The wallet keeps an index of tx->address but not an index of address->tx, that functionality must be created elsewhere and in pursuit of that, ACME maps the blockchain to RDF and uses SPARQL (via a Fuseki endpoint) to obtain and present metadata which is not otherwise obtainable from the coins's RPC API.

The ACME web app itself can be (fairly trivially) extended to present additional metadata seen as pertinent to the coin's functioning. F'rinstance, I added a page for Datacoin, re-presenting the results of the listtopprimes RPC call ...

http://tessier.bel-epa.com:5059/main/chain/

In Slimcoin's case, I was able to cherry-pick a few commits from a more developed clonesibling codebase and enable OP_RETURN tx as standard, opening up an opportunity to use the data field to carry a few dozen bytes of metadata, with all the possibilities that brings. As the “wallet” is basically a transaction explorer scoped to the owner's addresses, it's a straightforward task to add a couple of supporting GUI units: a  data entry field for creating “inscriptions” containing metadata (currently limited to the wallet's “default” address) and a scrolling list of all the user's txs that have non-null OP_RETURN values (i.e. all the user's “inscriptions”).

I haven't even started to read through the entire up-thread history, so I'm not yet in a position to offer any comments let alone answer technical questions about the codebase.

Cheers

Graham

It will be 4-6 more years before much more interest........don't worry about that..............try to build as tough and hard Shifts and Sifts while difficulty is low............

AMD Ryzen extra cores is perfect with 16 GB MINIMUM of Memory (Ram) and or AMD Threadripper

little pulse of volumes maybe is coming alive........

Still lack of volumes but seems something is boiling

We see some pump going on cryptopia, is there any development going? Some individual or team are making something with gapcoin to make more useful?

can you post instruction for windows solo mining ?

Confusion is a "Generic Type"

What is causing your confusion?  Is that G.A.P. is not real expensive to acquire?  Or you can't grasp the techncal specifications for it's "Utilities"?

State where you are blocked and than maybe or maybe not someone can help. 

My guess is you have not done any research, to ask an intelligent question, which is fine and to be expected.  But even amateurs can make broad stupid questions to get a rise of someone. 

can someone explain to me what this prime number searching is? I'm a bit confused

No need for a pool, solo mine is perfect right now.............It would have to be 5 times higher Mining rate for a pool. 

If you are going to build your own Wallet from source I posted instructions on page 78.

Ubuntu/Trisquel works, Opensuse does not work, well I got it to compile but it would not launch the wallet.

Debian would "probably" work as would Linux Mint which is Ubuntu.

Distrowatch.org 

Once you compile and or set your hardware configurations using BitcoinFX recommended way

setgenerate true (total number of treads minus 1)

4 core 8 thread CPU would be Setgenerate true 7

8 Core 16 thread CPU would be Setgenerate true 15

If you have only 4 or 8 cores just use all of them Setgenerate True

This is quite nice project, I see from others, my friend have send me (cause other were just shitcoins I think ).
This is quite good ideas to search for prime gap numbers.
Is there any pool - I would mine it with it happily.

30 million new primes a second from the prime seeking coins is a long way off probably, years, but when that happens gapcoin would probably need an entirely different kind of algorithm, since by then there will be visible patterns in gaps that can be used to find new gaps.
