now if only I could remember what made me settle on those parameters...

I remember that extra flags uses in Primecoin for increase Performance or probability finding of blocks a little bit faster. But actually i never tried to understand the essence of this parameters so could be wrong. I confirm that last ver is ok, but it seems rarely finds of blocks for me. Back to previously ver.

Found 2 blocks with that parameters. It's very strange but it works. So actually it must works without that extra flags but it's not for me previously. Thanks to dave23!

In my case, this Version https://github.com/gapcoin/GapMiner/releases/download/gapminer-rev4.1/windows.zip doesn't find any blocks/shares, even if I mining in a pool. The previos sersions works without any problems.

So it's another confirmation on my side. I don't no how j0nn9 testing it, testnet, hmm probably need a real testing... And how dave23 was successfully. Maybe some mistakes with the links with fixed or not fixed builds in thread. It's no good when builds named windows.zip without any numbers imho...

This version does not find any shares on pool and no blocks for solo, you should fix it.

He said he fix it but as we can see it's not. I guess it's most of that he used testnet and not the real mining for solving that issue. But the dave23 said (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10436950) it's ok with last version for solo. So i don't know what to think. I'm not the noob or something. Mining about 3 years. And when i just change the version and it doesn't find any blocks for 24 hours (tested twice) with about 1500000 h\s something wrong...

I don't doubt that the current version isn't working on your computer.
It seems that the bug I fixed, wasn't the only one.
Nevertheless pool and testnet working on my Windows 7 64 bit compile environment.
Mining on testnet is almost the same as on mainnet, exactly the same code is running on the miner.

Without more information, I probably won't be able to fix the issue, since it's working fine on my side.
Anyway, I'll do my best to fix it within the next version. I'll also implement some sort of debug logging.

Till the next version is out, you and others which have the same issue with the new version, can just use the old one, the mining speed is equal.

Ok thank you. Yeah we using last stable ver for us allready

To dave23, i never used this parameters --sieve-primes 900000 --sieve-size 33554432 --shift 25, will try with them.

i have problems with gapcoind. If i stop it, then everytime i start it again it looks like it is running but does nothing. I cant connect to rpc server. To fix that i have to delete blocks folder from .gapcoin and then redownload whole blockchain which actually takes too much time. Many hours...

Any ideas? Also j0nn9 maybe you could host the blockchain so that we can download most of it? Finally, are you currently working on anything?

That problem was fixed within the new version:

Windows: https://github.com/gapcoin/gapcoin/releases/download/v0.9.2-rev2/gapcoin-rev2-windows.zip
md5: f476544e2b34133d829d585e6b9d3f7a

Linux: https://github.com/gapcoin/gapcoin/releases/download/v0.9.2-rev2/gapcoin-rev2-linux.zip
md5: 50551e97df7cdfd672a66ebf059cee20

The blockchain currently is only about 50MB, the long time it takes is because it verifies every downloaded block.
In the first wallet version, every block was verified like it was in Bitcoin, but this takes too much time,
so in version 2, Gapcoin uses Primecoin's way and does not verifiy every already verified block on startup.
You can still enable this recheck with the -slowstart switch.

This is the address for the first place gap bounty.

last processed block: 76271 (february 21, 2015, 14:33 utc)
address: GNxcqXsAQMN1ShU3M5kmQko13zhzvciMRE
total received: 4500.00000000 gap
total send: 2100.98000001 gap
final balance: 2399.01999999 gap

I want to donate 1000 gap to the address, but there is supposed to be 4500 gap already in there...
What we need is a large Gap bounty for breaking the record.
and maybe some better management of the address.

Fixed that one, new addresses are:

working cuda miner binaries + source code Gc2iV35VSshiQtbQGbDKrXjiZb6qvNATqW
second running pool GdRFensrnTCzkoFMX89pLZpwxAawCsoUnN
first merit within the top 10 GQaFxaTrNHoCbcMSuY8HRVgaYyJC4DmiYr
first merit within the top 5 GaQvMjybeLEN2waSMSPskKvtE1vBheB1is
first merit, which breaks the world record GQE3hMaBz1uCCMATzXGfYK13A8PjqxKxz6

I also raised the bounty for the world record about 3500 GAP.
The new bounties are:

1000 GAP for working cuda miner binaries + source code
500 GAP for the second running pool
1000 GAP for the first merit within the top 10
1500 GAP for the first merit within the top 5
8000 GAP for the first merit, which breaks the world record

What can we do to make Gapcoin more popular?

1) Lets create a big bounty in GAP, BTC and other cryptos for the world record. Maybe we can call holders to donate to the bounty like 1% of holdings so that the bounty can be huge. Scrap the smaller bounties and place everything for the world record.

2) Lets make a signature campaign paying like 1 GAP per message for a while.

3) Lets create a twitter giveaway giving again like 1 GAP per tweet.

4) Make people understand that it is a coin that it is still very easy to mine. And with such tiny market cap nowhere to go but upwards.

5) Make threads on overclocking forums, math forums, physics forums, crypto forums.

6) A good start would be, people who are still interested to post every now and then here...

7) Email to crypto news sites.

Cool

Since anyone is bored to try and organise anything from the above, let us at least agree to discuss a bit about finding and hiring someone who is going to do the job. He should agree to get paid in GAP.

I am using the gapminer-cpu.exe dated 2/6/2015

MD5: 142a54224bd420b21f55dddab4b501c4

Got the same MD5. Will be waiting for the new version and test it, cause on 4.1 i wasted 2 days (2x24hours).
