Umm, the Russian, Chinese and Arabic langs aren't even remotely related. Those Russian written characters look like a weird version of Latin characters to a westerner, but their number is about the same and you can learn how to pronounce Russian words in no time. Sure, it takes much more to understand and speak properly. OTOH, the Asian calligraphy is nonsense to both westerners and Russians. Only a small number of Russians who live in the Far East can do some Chinese. I must admit Russians are generally reluctant to learn foreign languages very much like Brits. Yeah, most Russians are supposed to learn some English at schools, but they don't seem to care really. Brits also don't care much about French the same way.

One mounts chart looking nice, hope it will stay on up trend much longer.

Gap  has so many good,things going for it and the markert cap is so low compared to prime and rie coin we should get the block explorer working and get the word out there about gap we should promote the 5 best things about gap what would you say those 5 things r? This Is a very polite thread without f u d I believe nice guys can and do finish first and I believe it's only a matter of time till gap becomes a top coin I think in a year or less many people will look back and say  wow I can't believe gap coin the coin that does useful things instead of wasting electricity was so cheap

Sure thing. How do you think the chain is moving? There is proof-of-work only. Solo mining is fun actually. Some math use also helps. Oh yeah, it's decentralized as well.

anyone mining this?

Yeah, kind of   Those squiggly lines are much easier to follow up than obscurities used by our Asian friends for writing purposes. Your bounty is a pocket change for me, so if I manage to get through the job, it ain't cost a thing.

The OP was translated already to Russian a long time ago. There is a Gapcoin thread in a Russian forum: https://forum.bits.media/index.php?/topic/10055-gap-gapcoin-mathalgo-poleznye-matematicheskie-vychisleniia/

Not much activity there, but anyway.

I'm finding the bootstrap of Gapcoin for a long time and the developer seems to be unresponsive.
I had some hopes and looked forward to it but this kind of slow development will withdraw itself from the competition.

Also while GPU mining I am getting this error all the time:

 Here are some small bounties for translations that are done by native speakers, not by Google Translate. The bounty is 0.02 btc for translations by native speakers into the following languages, Chinese, German, Russian.

Please post that you are offering to translate, then wait for a post that says okay. Then once we have both agreed publicly the job can be done.

The price is fixed. I'm sorry it's not more generous. Eventually I will try to offer bounties for Italian, Spanish, Tagalog and some other languages. If somebody else wants to offer bounties I might chip in a little. A block explorer is needed.

The text between the #### symbols is the text that needs to be translated. I updated the initial announcement a little and would appreciate any suggestions on changes. The translation can be 'improved" or adapted by the translator in any way he or she thinks is appropriate, then posted in the relevant language thread.

####Gapcoin is an older math coin, started in 2014, that uses a special algorithm to search for Prime Gaps. Gapcoin has already found a substantial number of high merit Prime Gaps and is one of the more serious math coins. It is not heavily promoted or pumped but some supporters are trying to encourage interest. Since China has the most activity right now in similar coins, Primecoin and Riecoin it might also be a good market for Gapcoin. If you want to help develop Gapcoin, or have any ideas please post. The English thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/anngap-gapcoin-prime-gap-search-new-math-algo-cpu-gpu-zero-premine-822498 is active though the original dev does not stop by frequently. ####

####Bounties have been issued in the past, both for work on the coin and for breaking certain records. If you are interested in contributing to a bounty or doing some work for one, please post.

####Top-20 Prime Gaps for all merits####: http://primerecords.dk/primegaps/gaps20all.htm

####Gapcoin broke records of many hundreds of first known occurrence prime gaps:####

http://www.trnicely.net/gaps/g4k.html ####More than 100 records####
http://www.trnicely.net/gaps/g6k.html ####91 records####
http://www.trnicely.net/gaps/g8k.html ####3 records####
http://www.trnicely.net/gaps/g10k.html ####More than 100 records####
http://www.trnicely.net/gaps/g15k.html ####More than 100 records####
http://www.trnicely.net/gaps/g20k.html ####53 records####


####Specifications:####

• ####PoW: custom, prime gaps####
• ####Block target time 2.5 minutes####
• ####Block reward proportional to the current difficulty####
• ####Block reward halving every 420000 (about 2 years)####
• ####Cap: about 10 - 30 million GAP####
• ####Difficulty adjusts every block and increases logarithmic (it will probably take years to get to 50)####

####Fair launch:####

• ####Gapcoin was not designed to enrich the early adopters or the coin creators! The more people mine Gapcoin, the more coins per block will be produced. (Coin supply will increase logarithmic with the difficulty, this means it will grow in the beginning, but later, it won't change much.)####
• ####There won't be any premine!####
• ####To avoid instamine, the reward of the first 1152 blocks (about 48 hours) will increase quadratically to its absolute value: the current difficulty. Block reward will be 1/1152^2 * blockheight^2 * difficulty for the first 1152 blocks. This should guarantee that the difficulty is stable until the blocks yield a worthwhile amount of coins.####
• ####Source code will be available before launch (excluding the PoW function), so everyone can setup their own environment, compile the software, and check if everything works.####
• ####Windows and Linux binaries will be distributed in an encrypted container before launch, the password will be revealed at launch.####

####Launch date:#### ####Tue Oct 21 2014 - 18:00 UTC####

But he wasnt here since October 2015 :-(

Anyone wants to share the best settings for gpu miner? I am using -t 1 -w 512. Is there something else to modify? Thanks

I said that half a year ago, but no luck. It seems we have no Chinese users simply.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.14033286

This ANN is also outdated. No working pool. No commits to Github for 1.5 years. If the dev was a bit more active, it could be great.

Chinese exchanges seem to like science cryptos like XPM, so that they might like GAP too, and it would be a good idea to contact some: like BTC38 or Jubi - see https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/guide-on-chinese-exchange-listing-1419665

Would probably need a bounty for a chinese translation.

Somewhat off topic, but this might be interesting for the prime gap crowd:

http://bit-player.org/2016/prime-after-prime

For compile in Ubuntu 16.04 with boost 1.58 need patch:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6114/commits/824c011d165cc352088f8e238f66b829b0e654ed

tests/s should be more or less than pps?

Thanks

So did the developer leave?

The diff dropped to about 20.5 by the last Xmas. It was nice to mine for a few months until the coin got a pump in March. The diff moved slowly to 22. It dropped recently to 21.5 or something.

Hello.

This is my thinking and knowing (worth what it's worth) on GAPCOIN currency.

Something is wrong and strange in Gapcoin mining.

The difficulty has increased a lot and quickly, and with a tendency to increase more.

The mining with CPU / GPU (resistant ASIC), and the current difficulty and to approach the day of reward decrease I do not see good thing for GAP.

In Exchange (Poloniex), some "mentally retarded" do everything for the currency increasingly worth less, which does not understand and is not intelligent.

Did someone cut the ASIC resistance? And the dev did wrong ? thing.

I do not think the normal 40 colors (64 bits) only make on average 500 Gap day? .

I liked to know the opinion of Gap community.

Gapcoin blockchain is now available for download from CryptoChainer.com.  Enjoy.
