I made a thread here twice https://cryptsy.freshdesk.com/support/discussions/forums/4000000207 but it never showed up. Dont know why.

Someone else may want to try it again. Or just spam cryptsy. They add every shit coin that exist i dont think they will have a problem adding gapcoin...

I just wrote cryptsy, and they "submitted the coin to their development team who will review it to see if it meets the requirements for addition to the Cryptsy exchange."

Got the same but nothing happened after days passing. In fact if i go now and try it again because of the title it finds the post i tried to make in the 'Matching Topics Found' with those links but they just doesnt show up:

I'm confused by what a gap and a merit is

You have two following prime numbers like p_n=11 and p_n+1=13. The gap is g_n=13-11=2.

The ratio of g_n / ln(p_n) is called the merit of the gap g_n.

Now why and if bigger merit is important i dont know.

The average size of a prime gap increases with higher primes and is about ln(p_n).
In fact it its very trivial to find a gap with at least length n:

Quote from: Wikipedia

For any prime number P, we write P# for P primorial, that is, the product of all prime numbers up to and including P. If Q is the prime number following P, then the sequence

P#+2, P#+3,...,P#+(Q-1)

is a sequence of Q − 2 consecutive composite integers, so here there is a prime gap of at least length Q − 1. Therefore, there exist gaps between primes which are arbitrarily large, i.e., for any prime number P, there is an integer n with g_n ≥ P

The merit is the ratio of the size of a prime gap in comparison to the average size of a prime gap in the proximity of p.
To find a gap with at least merit m, the average calculation amount is e^m primes.

To sum it up it is easy to find long prime gaps, but it is very difficult to find prime gaps with a high merit.

i get the following error

waiting for server...
"curl_easy_perform() failed : Server returned nothing (no headers, no data)

That means you are connecting with the wrong protocol. Are you using the stratum port or rpc port?

Is there any way to make the gpu miner use any other gpu besides gpu 0?

edit: found the answer to my question

Quote from: qwep on November 07, 2014, 03:59:51 PM

why involves only one GPU

You have to use one instance per gpu.
Use --gpu-dev , to select the right one.

Hi everybody,

I have an r9 290 amd gpu and am unable to configure my miner settings. Request you to please share your r9 290 gpu miner or any other gpu miner settings for gapcoin. I want to mine this coin.

Hi,

first of all you need an account at the pool: http://gap.nonce-pool.com/

Now create a worker: http://gap.nonce-pool.com/index.php?page=account&action=workers

Download and install Install AMD APP SDK v2.9: http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/opencl-zone/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing-app-sdk/

Download and unzip the miner: https://github.com/gapcoin/GapMiner/releases/download/gpu-miner-rev3/windows.zip

In the unzipped folder (windows/64) edit start-gapminer.bat
(uncomment the first option and change user.worker and password according to your worker settings at the pool)

Code:

:: choose your preferred mining method:
::
:: getwork
gapminer-gpu.exe -o http://mine3.gap.nonce-pool.com -p 4205 -u user.worker -x password -t 1 --use-gpu -w 512
::
:: stratum
:: gapminer-gpu.exe -o mine3.gap.nonce-pool.com -p 3385 -u user.worker -x password -t 1 --stratum --use-gpu -w 512
::
:: solo mining
:: gapminer-gpu.exe -o 127.0.0.1 -p 31397 -u  -x  -t 1 --use-gpu -w 512

Start mining by running start-gapminer.bat

Do you mind sharing your settings as I am only getting 700k pps with my R9 280x ? Cry

All fine now. I overwrote the "-w 512" setting as I copied an old startfile...

Keep up the good work with this cool science coin! Cheesy
